Title: Perfectionnements pour les multicoques a voile fixe
Inventor: BROUZES PAUL
IPC: B63B1/12
Filed: 1992-04-09
Abstract: Les applications concernent des multicoques à flotteurs pivotants (5). L'orientation optimale de la voile (7) s'effectue automatiquement grâce à l'action du vent sur une gouverne d'incidence de voilure (13). Cet optimum est maintenu malgré les fluctuations de direction du vent. Pour se diriger vers le cap il suffit d'orienter une gouverne d'incidence de dérive de surface réduite (12) agissant sur la dérive pivotante (8). Les efforts nécessaires sont très réduits et ne nécessitent pas de palans, cabestans ou winchs. La sécurité est améliorée grâce à l'auto-orientation de la voilure. La position fixe de la voile simplifie la réduction de surface si le temps forcit. Une version sportive, sans gouvernes d'incidence, est pilotée en agissant seulement sur la dérive par 2 réglages (10, 11). D'autres dispositions sont adaptées au repliement de la structure pour transport ou le rangement ou à des ailes rigides. Une variante comporte une gouverne de profondeur permettant de soulever l'arrière et de naviguer sur les seuls appuis avant. Cette disposition est avantageuse pour des foilers.

Title: Adaptive block size image compression method and system.
Inventor: LEE CHONG U
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1992-06-03
Abstract: In an adaptive block size image compression method and system for compressing image data, a respective method and system for further compressing the image data for transmission. Each block and corresponding sub-blocks of pixel data is subjected to a discrete cosine transform (DCT) operation. Varying levels of sub-blocks of resulting corresponding transform coefficients are selected for construction into a composite transform coefficient block corresponding to each input block of pixel data. The selection of transform coefficient block size for the composite block is determined by a comparison process between transform block and sub-block coding efficiency. The composite block is variable length coded to further reduce bit count in the compressed data. A discrete quadtree transform (DQT) operation is in supplement of the adaptive block size block selection with coefficient replacement to optimize image data compression.

Abstract: Les poissons ronds congélés, tels que les poissons blancs semblables à la morue, le saumon ou la truite, ayant une forme sensiblement droite, sont ouverts par incision centrale suivant leur longueur, ce qui permet ainsi de retirer la partie principale de la colonne vertébrale, chacune des moitiés du poisson congélé est ensuite nettoyée et une recherche des impuretés est alors entreprise. Puis les morceaux de poisson toujours congélés sont emballés par portions et stockés congélés. Afin de permettre le positionnement du poisson durant son ouverture, on peut le congéler en lui conférant une forme facettée ou avec les nageoires soulevées. Lorsque le corps entier du poisson congélé a été positionné avec son plan vertical de symétrie en position bien connue, le poisson peut être rigidement maintenu à l'aide de moyens de fixation (59) comprenant une partie (68) fabriquée à partir d'un matériau souple destiné à absorber du fluide qui peut venir se verrouiller en butée contre l'extérieur du poisson congélé et se fixer sur celui-ci par congélation. La prise du moyen de fixation se trouvant à l'intérieur du poisson est suffisamment fort pour ne pas se casser lors du fendage du poisson. Le maintien du poisson par le moyen de fixation est suffisamment efficace pour ne pas être interrompu par l'ouverture du poisson.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for accelerated detection of a data stream for embedded sequences of data bits referred to as "multi-byte sequences" in a data stream, used for high level interpretation or structuring of the data. The data stream is monitored continuously during normal data transfers between buffers along a data path for which several types of data may be transferred in interleaved fashion, without additional time used in the data transfer process. For data in which the special byte sequences are to be detected if present, the existence of data bytes associated with the special byte sequences is flagged, enabling byte-by-byte scanning to be skipped for those transfers in which no sequence is flagged. Special character sequences which begin in one data transfer and are completed in the following one are also indicated.

Abstract: A membrane filter integrity test system (3) includes a large volume mass-flow controller (24) for rapidly supplying a larger amount of fluid to a primary side of a membrane filter (MF) under test, a small volume mass-flow controller (22) for supplying a relatively small amount of fluid to the primary side of the membrane filter. The operation of the large volume mass-flow controller is stopped when the pressure at the primary side of said membrane filter reaches a predetermined level. This predetermined pressure is detected by a pressure sensor (36) which senses the pressure at the primary side of the membrane filter. The pressure sensor responsively generates a detection signal corresponding to the sensed pressure at the primary side of the membrane filter. A main controller (42) responsive to the detection signal from the pressure sensor controls the small volume mass-flow controller in a negative feedback loop manner for controlling the supply of fluid to the primary side of the membrane filter so that the pressure on the primary side of the filter is maintained at the predetermined value.
