Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for beamline security in radiation beam treatment facilities. The system monitors and controls the radiation beam steering system to safeguard against wrong-path and multiple-path conditions which could otherwise lead to accidental radiation exposure. One aspect of the method involves comparing the beam path configuration signals to signals corresponding to a requested beam configuration to check for agreement, as well as singular path configuration. Controller checks are performed using complimentary-redundant logical communication paths applied to the state of the beam steering system. Upon detection of any one of several possible error conditions, such as over-heating, communication link failure, unauthorized personnel entry and multiple path condition, the beamline power supplies are disabled, preventing transfer of the radiation beam to the treatment room.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un noeud de réseau et un procédé d'affectation dynamique de largeurs de bandes pour des sessions télécommunications intranodales et internodales, l'invention consistant en un suivi de l'utilisation des ressources, aussi bien au niveau du châssis de matériel de ligne qu'au niveau de l'ensemble du système. Selon une réalisation, l'affectation dynamique de largeurs de bandes se fait par conférence multimédia entre abonnés d'un même autocommutateur privé (PBX). Si l'utilisation des ressources au niveau de l'un ou des deux châssis de matériel de ligne participant à la session intranodale atteint ou dépasse un plafond défini, on déclenche une nouvelle affectation des largeurs de bandes. De façon analogue, dès que le réseau de commutation d'un autocommutateur privé (PBX) atteint un plafond susceptible de bloquer l'ensemble du système dès une quelconque adjonction de session, on réalise une nouvelle affectation des ressources du système de façon à libérer de la largeur de bande. Les plafonds d'utilisations sont de préférence gérés par modifications adaptatives heure par heure et/ou au jour le jour. Selon la réalisation préférée, c'est une hiérarchie des classes de services qui sert à déterminer celles des cessions qui seront soumises à réduction de largeurs de bandes.

Abstract: An image coder (1) is equipped with a coding controller (112a) which produces a transmittance coding parameter (121) for controlling the coding processing of a transmittance signal, based on a picture element value coding parameter (104) for controlling the coding processing of a picture element value signal and coding-processes the transmittance signal (102) based on a transmittance coding parameter (121), as shown in the Figure. In such constitution of image coder (1), it becomes possible to control the quality of a picture obtained from the transmittance signal of each image, according to the quality of a picture obtained from the picture element value signal of each image in a composite image, whereby redundant information in a transmittance coded signal (106) obtained by coding that transmittance signal can be curtailed, without damaging the picture quality of individual images, consequently the image signal can be recorded and transmitted without lowering the picture quality with fewer bits.

Abstract: A magnetic coupling device has an electroconductive rotor presenting a band of electroconductive material and has a magnet rotor with permanent magnets which are slide-mounted to move radially outward responsive to centrifugal force in opposition to a spring bias. When the magnet rotor is stationary the magnets are radially inward of the orbit of the electroconductive band, and when the magnets have moved outwardly when the magnet rotor is rotating, the magnets are spaced by an air gap from the electroconductive band so that eddy currents are induced in the band resulting in coupling of the rotors. The electroconductive rotor preferably has two such bands positioned on opposite sides of the magnet rotor. The rotors may have sheaves mounted thereon.

Abstract: A stock feed system for a multi-layer headbox in which a stock concept is passed into each inlet header in the multi-layer headbox. The stock concepts are produced out of the same fresh stock by adding chemicals and fillers to divided portions of that fresh stock. To this end, the system includes a single fresh-stock container, and stock lines into which the fillers, additives and equivalent are added in compliance with the requirements of each concept. The stock feed system also includes at least one fiber distributor for transferring long fibers out of the stock that is destined to form the surface layer of the paper into the stock that is destined to form a layer placed in the interior of the paper, preferably the middle layer. Fibers having a shorter length, compared with the average distribution of fibers in the basic stock derived from the stock container, are allowed to remain in the surface layer of the paper/board, and longer fibers, compared with the average distribution of fibers, are allowed to remain in the middle layer and/or are transferred into the middle layer.

Abstract: Leached nanocrystalline materials having a high specific surface are particularly useful for storing hydrogen or as catalysts or electrocatalysts in the manufacture electrodes, especially for fuel cells. Such materials can be manufactured by preparing a nanocrystalline material consisting of a metastable composite or alloy of at least two different chemical elements. To be nanocrystalline, this material must have a crystalline structure with the grain size lower than 100 nm. Then, the so prepared nanocrystalline material can be subjected to a leaching treatment in order to eliminate partially or totally one of the elements of the composite or alloy. This leaching results in nanocrystalline materials having a porous structure and, thereby, the requested high specific surface.
