Abstract: The present invention relates to a power circuit for supplying power to an intermittently
operated amplification means (4), comprising a battery (1) having a full charged voltage
lower than the operating voltage of the amplification means (4), a stepping up means (2)
for stepping up the voltage of the battery (1) and a storing means (3) for storing the
stepped up power and for supplying the stored power to said amplification means (4) only
when said amplification means is operated. The power circuit further comprises a feedback
loop for feedback controlling the stepped up voltage, said feedback loop comprising an
activity detection means (6) for detecting the activity level of the stepping up means (2).
The present invention also relates to a corresponding method for controlling a power
circuit. In an ideal case of the invention, the current drawn from the battery is a pure DC
current and the voltage has no ripple.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for
driving a heald frame of a loom, and particularly, it
is an object of the present invention to provide an
apparatus for driving a loom heald frame using a
linear motor having a sufficiently large driving force
and being capable of securing a sufficiently long
driving stroke. A heald frame 21 is driven vertically
along a guide 23 by the driving force of a linear
motor 24 transferred through a connecting lever 26.
At this moment, by utilizing the principle of a lever
and fulcrum, using a connecting lever 26 and the
fulcrum 26a, a large driving force is obtained by
using a linear motor with a long stroke, or a long
stroke necessary to drive the heald frame is obtained
by using a linear motor with a large driving force.
By adopting such a configuration, the heald frame 21
can be vertically driven by a sufficiently large
driving force and a sufficiently long stroke.

Abstract: A process for fabricating weapons-grade plutonium
into mixed-oxide fuel for use in a nuclear reactor. The
plutonium is converted into plutonia powder at a site
remote from the fuel fabrication facility and then the
plutonia powder is pressed and fired into high-density
plutonia pellets for transport to the fuel fabrication
facility. The high-density plutonia pellets serve as
a diversion-resistant and environmentally sound method
of shipping the plutonia for use as a feed material.
Comminution methods are employed to reduce the plutonia
pellets to a fine powder for blending with urania feed

Abstract: The sewing machine attachment registers the end of a tubular fabric workpiece has a position monitor with light sensors linked to a control with light transmitters and receivers flanking fabric movement path. The sewing machine attachment registers the end of a tubular fabric workpiece (4) in the direction of travel. The light sensors are across the direction of fabric (W) movement, with light transmitters (84-86) and receivers (94-96) above and below the fabric movement path (7). The light sensors (6) register the intensity of the light passing through the fabric (W), to be assessed by the control. The control uses the data from the outermost light sensor (61) at the fabric side as reference data, for comparison with the light data from the other sensors. The change in the light value derived from the comparison at another sensor (6) indicates the end (F) of the fabric (W), and the sewing machine drive is controlled accordingly. The position monitor (3) has a number of light sensors (6) and preferably six. Their light transmitters (84-86) and receivers (94-96) are each assembled into installation units. The light transmission section forms a common light emitting beam.

Abstract: In the past, user authorization based on biometric information was conducted by correlating a single instance of biometric information against a template. By using this method, a percentage of the population is difficult to authenticate. Further, due to skin damage and injuries, sometimes biometric information is not suited to identification. A sore throat affecting voice information and scraped finger tips affecting fingerprint information are two examples of common problems with authorization in dependence upon biometric information. A method of authenticating a user in dependence upon biometric input information is disclosed. The method allows a user to select biometric information sources and a number of repetitions for each source in order to customize the process of biometric user authentication.

Abstract: Système de lames qui permet de préparer et d'utiliser, d'une manière rapide, stérile, propre et sans danger, des lames de microscope contenant du matériel d'échantillon qui renferme des préparations ou des échantillons vivants et/ou dangereux. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, le système comprend une base constituée d'une lame et une lamelle couvre-objet qui, de préférence, sont préalablement nettoyées et conditionnées dans une enveloppe stérile. La lamelle et/ou la lame portent un revêtement adhésif qui entoure la zone de l'échantillon, de façon à coller la lamelle sur la lame, ce qui crée une zone ou chambre d'échantillon hermétiquement fermée définie par la lame, la lamelle et l'adhésif. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la lame présente, creusées dans la partie de sa surface comprise dans la zone de l'échantillon, une ou deux gouttières ou dépressions pouvant contenir le matériel de l'échantillon qui est en excès ou qui coule, de façon à empêcher qu'il se perde dans l'environnement ou abîme l'adhésif et/ou la lamelle. On peut appliquer une couche d'un élément actif, tel qu'un composé neutralisant, afin de neutraliser le matériel de l'échantillon avant qu'il ne traverse l'adhésif.

Abstract: Cette attache de câble comporte une sangle généralement plate et une tête. La tête comporte une entrée triangulaire dans un passage pour l'insertion de la sangle et un cliquet de verrouillage à charnière souple adjacent au passage. Elle comporte également une dent fixe de blocage adjacente à l'extrémité d'entrée du passage aux fins de la mise en prise avec la sangle à la suite de l'assujettissement d'un ou de plusieurs articles enliassés. La dent de blocage fixe de l'invention est placée, de préférence, de manière à faciliter l'insertion de la queue de la sangle dans la tête. Cette invention vise à minimiser l'étirement du corps de sangle lorsqu'il se trouve au voisinage immédiat du cliquet de verrouillage et ce, du fait de la présence d'une arête entrant en contact par frottement avec le corps de sangle au fur et à mesure que celui-ci sort du passage ménagé dans la tête. La réalisation de cette invention est, de surcroît, susceptible de comporter deux éléments de blocage contrarotatifs placés sur un coté du passage dans la tête. L'un de ces éléments est capable de se dévier pour entrer en contact avec la surface d'un article mis en lot de manière à assurer une meilleure résistance au glissement de l'attache de câble par rapport à l'article et à réduire encore le rayon d'enliassage de l'attache de câble. Cette invention concerne, en outre, une attache de câble à cliquet de verrouillage inamovible. Qui plus est, cette attache de câble peut comporter un élément de blocage à déport pouvant être solidaire de la tête ou ajouté dans celle-ci.
