Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature-sensitive brake-lining construction for the purpose of improving the braking process, particularly in adverse conditions and on vehicles with a high empty/laden ratio. The brake-lining construction is, for example, such that the brake lining consists of four parts and two bimetal elements. Individual lining parts are given priority activation depending on the external conditions. Relatively rapid wear of individual lining parts is compensated when the temperature conditions change. By means of this construction, higher lining pressures are achieved, particularly when the vehicle is empty, and this prevents aquaplaning in particular. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A location system for tracking miners underground includes a number of identification stations connected to a central control station. Miners are issued with portable identification modules which are fitted to their caplamps and which are powered by their battery packs. The identification modules transmit unique identification signals at intervals, which are picked up by the identification stations. The identification modules change the intervals between successive transmissions continually, and the identification stations can read overlapping transmissions, so that the reliability of detection is good. Miners who are issued with a caplamp first pass an identification card through a reader, which reads a unique personal identification code from the card. This code is correlated with the identification code of the identification module in the caplamp at the central control station. The invention includes a portable location device for tracking lost miners, which is a direction finding receiver adapted to receive and display the identification code transmitted by the identification module of a lost miner. The identification codes of members of a search party are stored in the device, so that they are ignored in use.

IPC: H04N5/365

Abstract: The invention relates to thermal image detectors, and more particularly linear or matrix pyroelectric detectors. These detectors operate differentially, in successive phases of illumination and of masking, by virtue of a shutter (OBT) synchronised with the signal processing circuits. The detector supplies differential measurement signals representing the variations in pyroelectric signal which are recorded during a cycle including a masking phase and an illumination phase. In order to eliminate fixed pattern noise (FPN noise), it is proposed, according to the invention, to take the measurements by difference between two successive masking and illumination cycles, the order of the illumination/masking phases being reversed between the two cycles, but the measurements (SR1, SR'1) being taken in an identical way in the two cycles. A memory (MEM) records the signals in the course of a cycle; a subtracter (SUB) substracts the signal (SR'1) of the current cycle from the signal (SR1) recorded in the preceding cycle. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1993-08-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un bouchon s'utilisant avec des récipients afin de permettre un accès au récipient sans aiguille avec une canule ayant une pointe de pénétration émoussée. L'invention décrit également un système comprenant le bouchon, le récipient et la canule. Le bouchon comprend un disque (29) ayant une face supérieure (31) et une face inférieure (33), et un tampon (27) s'étendant depuis le disque et entrant dans le récipient. Un diaphragme (37) défini par une région cible dans la face supérieure et un canal transversal (41) dans le disque permet de réguler la force nécessaire pour pénétrer dans le bouchon à l'aide de la canule. Le tampon comprend une première surface intérieure (43) permettant de guider la canule et une seconde surface intérieure (45) permettant d'engager la canule afin de réduire au minimum le mouillage de la partie extérieure de la canule. Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation, la première surface (43) s'étend vers le bas à partir du canal transversal (41) sur la face inférieure du disque, radialement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à atteindre un diamètre maximum, et la seconde surface regardant vers l'intérieur (45) s'étend vers le bas depuis la première surface radialement vers l'intérieur jusqu'à atteindre un diamètre minimum pour former le joint d'étanchéité de la canule. Une pointe de perçage située au centre permet d'effectuer au préalable une entaille dans le diaphragme. Un chapeau de recouvrement peut être prévu pour avoir alternativement un bossage et un alésage alignés axialement afin de pré-entailler le diaphragme. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un disque annulaire pré-entaillé (59) et constitué de matériau d'auto-obturation hermétique permet de réduire les retours d'aspersion lorsqu'on insère ou on retire la canule.
