Granted: 2014-04-01
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système, un procédé et un appareil destinés à détecter la présence ou l'absence, ainsi que le niveau, d'une matière dans un distributeur de boissons. Le système comprend un ensemble capteur (28) comportant une source lumineuse (44) et un détecteur de lumière (46). La source et le détecteur se trouvent à proximité immédiate l'un de l'autre, le détecteur détectant un faisceau émis par la source et le faisceau étant réfléchi par la matière (36) contenue dans un récipient (24). Un contrôleur (26) reçoit, en provenance de l'ensemble capteur (28), un signal qui lui permet d'exécuter de manière contrôlable les fonctions du distributeur de boissons (20) sur la base du signal de détection lié à la matière contenue dans le récipient (24) en provenance de l'ensemble capteur (28). L'appareil permettant de détecter un niveau de matière dans le récipient comprend un comparateur (70) couplé à l'ensemble capteur (28), qui est destiné à recevoir un signal en provenance du détecteur (46), une sortie étant produite par le comparateur (70) couplé au contrôleur (26). Un amplificateur de gain variable (66) est couplé au détecteur afin de recevoir un signal de sortie en provenance du détecteur. L'amplificateur de gain variable (66) fournit un signal d'entrée au comparateur (70). Le procédé de fonctionnement du système et de l'appareil compense les tolérances et les variables environnementales.

Abstract: Système et méthode de surveillance en ligne d'une opération transitoire d'un procédé de moulage en continu. L'opération transitoire a trait, entre autres, aux changements de buse d'entrée immergée, aux changements du panier de coulée, aux changements de qualité des produits, etc. La présente invention a trait aux opérations transitoires susmentionnées comme des procédés en lots et utilise une analyse en composantes principales particulière pour élaborer un modèle statistique multivarié en vue de caractériser les transitions de procédé normales fondées sur des données de procédé historiques soigneusement sélectionnées. Un tel modèle est utilisé par un système de surveillance en ligne pour déterminer si une opération transitoire de moulage en continu est normale. Ce système de surveillance peut en outre être utilisé pour prédire une rupture imminente, un type d'échec catastrophique du procédé qui peut se produire dans un procédé de moulage en continu, pendant l'opération transitoire. Les variables du procédé qui sont les plus aptes à être reliées à la rupture prédite sont désignées par le système pour que des mesures appropriées de contrôle puissent être prises afin de prévenir une rupture réelle.

Abstract: This invention relates to the treatment of a patient's lung, for example, a lung exhibiting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in particular to methods and devices for affecting lung volume reduction, preferably for achieving acute or immediate lung volume reduction following treatment. The lung volume reduction is effected by delivering a condensable vapor at a temperature above body temperature to the desired regions of the patient's lung to damage tissue therein. Blood flow and air flow to the damaged tissue region is essentially terminated, rendering the target region non-functional.  Alternative energy sources may be used to effect the thermal damage to the lung tissue.
