Abstract: L'invention concerne, de façon générale, des techniques servant à analyser des images à segmentation de premier plan. Ces techniques permettent de déterminer des plages de gris à partir de ces images. On peut ajouter de nouvelles plages, supprimer des plages anciennes et repérer des plages actuelles. On met en application une structure probabilistique afin d'effectuer cette analyse. Elle concerne un procédé consistant à évaluer des paramètres de plage de gris pour une ou plusieurs plages déterminées à partir d'une image composée de zones segmentées, et à évaluer cette plage ou ces plages de gris, dans le but de déterminer s'il convient de modifier ces dernières. On exécute normalement ces étapes jusqu'à ce que l'on réponde à un ou plusieurs critères de convergence. Il est, de plus, possible d'ajouter, de supprimer ou de diviser des plages de gris pendant cette opération. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, on repère les plages de gris pendant une série d'images et on effectue des prédictions des déplacements de ces plages.

Abstract: A dosing pump is provided comprising a working membrane defining a working area, and a pump drive for creating an oscillating movement of the working membrane. The direction of the pump drive can be inverted and the displacement element can be moved back and forth. The inventive dosing pump also comprises a position sensor for detecting the position of the pump drive, an electronic control system for the same, and a pump head in which an inlet valve and an outlet valve are arranged. The pump drive comprises a positioning motor and can be displaced back and forth in an oscillating manner, with the part thereof connected to the displacement element, in any range of its entire working displacement, according to a pre-determinable course, for a reduced pump capacity in relation to the maximum pump capacity. At least the inlet valve is externally controlled and comprises a motor-driven valve drive. The electronic control system is connected to at least the motor-driven valve drive(s) of the inlet and/or outlet valves, to the positioning motor of the pump drive, and to the position sensor for detecting the position of the displacement element and/or the pump drive. The combination of the electronically controllable positioning motor, the oscillating movement of the pump drive within any range of its entire working range, and the use of an externally controlled inlet and/or outlet valve significantly enlarges the operative range of the inventive dosing pump.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil pour mettre à niveau au moins un faisceau lumineux sortant d'un outil de construction. Un mode de réalisation de l'appareil comprend un assemblage optique à laser (91) destiné à émettre des faisceaux lumineux sortants qui définissent les faisceaux à plomb, de nivellement et d'angle droit, utilisés dans des applications de construction. L'assemblage optique est monté sur une plate-forme optique qui permet l'inclinaison par rapport aux joints "à coin" qui définissent deux axes de rotation perpendiculaires. Ces joints permettent de modifier l'angle d'inclinaison de la plate-forme optique en réponse à un couple appliqué et de maintenir l'angle d'inclinaison modifié jusqu'à une application suivante du couple. De cette manière, le mécanisme "à coin" empêche tout mouvement d'oscillation sensible de la plate-forme optique en absence d'application de couple. En outre, le mode de réalisation comprend également un élément à capteur (80) destiné à déterminer si les faisceaux de sortie sont à niveau. Si les faisceaux de sortie ne sont pas à niveau, le circuit de commande (93) du mode de réalisation actionne un élément d'entraînement pour appliquer un couple contrôlé à la plate-forme optique afin d'incliner la plate-forme optique lorsque les faisceaux optiques sont mis à niveau.

Abstract: A water-in-oil emulsion explosive characterized by containing an ethylene
vinyl acetate copolymer. It has excellent long-term stability. Even when stored
under a load for as long as about one year, the explosive is less apt to suffer a decrease
in explosive performance and coagulates only slightly in such a degree that it comes to
have weakly coherent partial coagulates which can be easily disaggregated. Even
after long-term storage, charging with the explosive can be easily conducted with a
charger. Since the explosive has excellent water resistance, it is suitable also for
blasting in a water hole.
