Title: REDUCTION DES EMISSIONS DE NOx D'UN MOTEUR
Inventor: MARSHALL ROBERT ANTHONY
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 1997-10-13
Abstract: Un moteur (10) à combustion interne comprend un système (26) d'échappement qui contient un piège (24) à NOx et un détecteur (22) d'oxygène des gaz d'échappement ainsi qu'un système (18) de gestion qui fait sélectivement fonctionner le moteur en mode de combustion à mélange pauvre, pendant lequel les gaz de NOx produits par le moteur sont stockés dans le piège (24) à NOx et en mode à boucle fermée dans lequel la composition du mélange oscille au voisinage de la stoechiométrie en fonction du signal de sortie d'un détecteur d'oxygène des gaz d'échappement situé dans le système d'échappement du moteur. La réponse du système de gestion au signal de sortie du détecteur (22) d'oxygène des gaz d'échappement, lorsqu'il fonctionne en mode de boucle fermée, est biaisée pour créer une condition de mélange légèrement pauvre dans le système d'échappement pour empêcher la libération des gaz de NOx stockés dans le piège (24).

Abstract: A logic circuit (18) comprising a first phase domino logic
circuit (20) and a second phase domino logic circuit (22). Each
of the domino logic circuits comprises a precharge node (20 PN ,
22 PN ), a coupling device (20 PT , 22 PT ) which when conducting couples
the precharge node to a precharge voltage (V DD ) during a precharge
phase, and a discharge path (20 L  and 20 DT , 22 L  and 22 DT ) connected
to the precharge node which when conducting couples the precharge
node to a voltage different than the precharge voltage during an
evaluate phase. Further, each of the domino logic circuits
comprises an output device (20 IN , 22 IN ) coupled to the precharge
node and providing an output responsive to a voltage at the
precharge node. The output of the output device of the first
phase domino logic circuit is connected to control the conduction
of the discharge path of the second phase domino logic circuit.
The logic circuit further comprises a conductor for providing a
clock signal (CLOCK), and circuitry for commencing the evaluate
phase of the first phase domino logic circuit at a first time (t1)
in response to the clock signal transitioning from a first state
to a second state. Still further, the logic circuit comprises
circuitry for commencing the evaluate phase of the second phase
domino logic circuit at a second time (t2) following the first
time, and circuitry (26, 28) for commencing the precharge phase of
the first phase domino logic circuit at a third time (t2 b )
following the second time. The third time corresponds to the
latest of a plurality of events. A first of the plurality of
events is the clock signal transitioning from the second state to
the first state. A second of the plurality of events is the
discharge path of the second phase domino logic circuit having
sufficient time following a beginning of the evaluate phase of the
second domino logic circuit to conduct to cause the voltage at the
precharge node of the second phase domino logic circuit to
transition to a level sufficient to trigger the output of the
inverter of the second phase domino logic circuit.

Abstract: Two cyclically switched converter circuits (4,15) based on bridge-connected IGB transistors, are coupled through a transformer (1), one operating as an inverter, the other as a rectifier, supplying a load. Each bridge arm comprises an IGB transistor (5,6,7,8;16,17,18,19) with a diode (9,10,11,12;20,21,22,23) connected across emitter and collector. Externally, bridges are connected respectively to an incoming DC supply (VI) and a load, operating, typically, at a lower voltage. Energy is stored on the secondary side in a series inductance (25), part or all of which is obtained by utilising the transformer leakage reactance. Output voltage control below a maximum determined by the transformer transformation ratio is obtained by varying the switching angle of the inverter bridge transistors. Higher output voltages can be obtained by similar intervention, at the same operating frequency, in the rectifier bridge. The transformer may be either 1-ph or 3-ph.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une gaine de limitation (400) renfermant une ligne telle qu'un câble ruban de fibres optiques ou autre conducteur, cette gaine limitant le mouvement de courbure ou de torsion de la ligne. La gaine comprend de préférence une matrice multidimensionnelle d'éléments d'engagement (450) séparés par une pluralité d'intervalles (460) et raccordés par une structure de bande sous-jacente. Lorsque la gaine est courbée ou tordue, les éléments de contact adjacents se déplacent pour venir en contact les uns avec les autres, ce qui limite le rayon de courbure ou l'angle de torsion de la gaine, et par conséquent celui de câble ruban de fibres optiques ou autre ligne protégée. La gaine de limitation de l'invention comprend deux parties pouvant coulisser (410, 420). Une structure de blocage (425) bloque les deux parties de la gaine et les empêche de se séparer, mais permet un déplacement coulissant dans le sens longitudinal de la ligne. Ceci permet d'adapter le rayon de courbure différentielle qui se crée lors de la courbure/torsion de la gaine, et réduit par conséquent la déformation dans la structure de blocage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for switching user data, belonging to a connection, between different time slots in a switch or a switch stage such that sequence and frame integrity are preserved. According to the invention, an efficient algorithm is utilized for determining distribution information, in form of storage positions in one or more control memories in the switch. User data is caused to be switched, according to this distribution information from the algorithm, such that these user data maintain the same reciprocal time order through the switch or switch stage. The distribution information determined by the algorithm assures sequence integrity and at the same time minimizes the delay of user data through the switch and/or switch stage. The algorithm also generates control information in form of delay values for delaying some user data such that data belonging to incoming time slots in one and the same frame are assigned to outgoing time slots in the same frame.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif relatifs à des obus à ailettes déployables, tirés d'armes de gros calibre et ayant des trajectoires balistiques, destinés à éviter que les ailettes (9-13) ne soient directement ou indirectement déformés par la pression du gaz propulseur. La présente invention concerne des ailettes qui se déploient sur commande afin de stabiliser l'obus. Généralement ces ailettes sont protégées, avant leur déploiement, par un protecteur (19) d'ailettes éjectable. Pour éviter que le protecteur d'ailettes ne se déforme, empêchant ainsi le déploiement des ailettes ou détériorant ainsi leur fonctionnalité, la présente invention propose que tout l'espace inoccupé à l'intérieur du protecteur d'ailettes soit rempli avec une substance (32) non gluante, incombustible et inerte, de faible compressibilité et de très faible stabilité inhérente. Cette substance qui remplit entièrement l'espace à l'intérieur du protecteur d'ailettes, autour des ailettes (9-13), se détache des ailettes après leur déploiement, sous l'effet de forces principalement centrifuges, mais, jusqu'à ce moment, elle empêche toute déformation indésirable du protecteur d'ailettes et donc, indirectement, des ailettes. Le protecteur (19) d'ailettes est, ainsi entièrement scellé jusqu'à son éjection.
