Abstract: A valved connector apparatus is described having an integral opening and closing system operated by axial movement of the valve. The body (302) of the valved connector apparatus is in a Y-shaped configuration with a main channel (304) and a lateral channel (306) branching off of the main channel. A normally closed, passive hemostasis valve (314) is housed in a valve body (312) that is slidably connected to the proximal end of the main channel. The hemostasis valve is opened by sliding the valve body distally with respect to the Y-shaped connector body so that a cylindrical extension (330) extending from the proximal end of the Y-shaped connector body penetrates a central opening in the hemostasis valve, creating an open passage for insertion of guidewires, catheters or other instruments. The valved connector apparatus allows safe introduction of extremely flexible or fragile guidewires, catheters or other instruments. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1) for collecting rubbish in a differentiated manner, presenting at least one deflector element (13), engaged on a dividing baffle (6) of the container itself. The dividing baffle (6) defines inside the container (1) two holding chambers (5a,5b) set to receive two different types of waste. The deflector element (13) routes the fall flow (10a, 10b) of the waste held in the two chambers (5a,5b), in an emptying phase of the container (1), into respective chambers (9a,9b) of a hopper (9) provided on a vehicle. Preferably the dividing baffle (6) comprises a movable portion (6b) bearing the deflector element (13) in oscillatory engagement with a fixed portion (6a). The movable portion (6b) shifts, during the emptying phase, to engage in contact a dividing bulkhead of the hopper, as well as to accompany the waste falling towards chambers (9a,9b) of the hopper itself. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus includes a surge arresting element, first and second end caps, an arrester housing, and a fault disconnector. The surge arresting element is arranged to conduct in the presence of the surge on a power line. The first and second end caps are arranged to be electrically connected to the surge arresting element, and the second end cap forms a disconnector housing. The arrester housing is arranged to house the surge arresting element and the first and second end caps so that the disconnector housing is accessible from an exterior of the arrester housing. The fault disconnector is arranged to electrically disconnect the surge arresting element from the power line in the event of a fault, and the fault disconnector is housed within the disconnector housing formed by the second end cap. A fastener is arranged to fasten the surge arresting element, the first and second end caps, the arrester housing, and the fault disconnector to a mounting bracket so as to wedge the arrester housing between the mounting bracket and the second end cap in order to form a seal.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a silicon carbide field effect transistor. The FET is formed on a silicon carbide monocrystalline substrate. An insulative material gate having a pair of spaced apart sidewalls is patterned on the substrate. The insulative material comprises a first insulation material overlayed by an electrically conductive layer. Within the substrate is lightly doped base regions located partially under the sidewalls of the gate and extending into the exposed substrate. Associated with the lightly doped base regions are heavily doped source regions aligned with the exposed substrate. On the underside of the substrate is a drain region to form the FET. Further in accordance with the present invention, a method to fabricate a field effect transistor is disclosed. The transistor is formed in a monocrystalline substrate of silicon carbide. Forming a transistor on the silicon carbide substrate entails depositing a first electrically insulative layer over the substrate. Next, an electrically conductive layer is deposited over the first insulative layer and then a second electrically insulative layer is deposited over the conductive layer. The following step includes partially removing the second insulative layer and exposing a portion of the first conductive layer to obtain two spaced apart regions of the silicon carbide substrate for forming lightly doped base regions. Then the substrate aligned with the exposed portion of the first conductive layer is lightly implanted with a dopant to form lightly doped base regions. Next, a layer of a third insulative material is formed on the sidewalls of the second insulative material. The following step entails removing the exposed conductive layer not aligned with the second insulative material and third insulative material. Thereby, exposing portions of the first insulating layer and defining a second set of spaced regions of the substrate. The second set of spaced regions are then heavily implanted to form heavily doped source regions. The second insulative material and third insulative material are then removed to form a gate.

Abstract: La réduction automatique de l'encombrement (Automatic Congestion Control = ACC) est un procédé étendu à un réseau servant à la réduction des surcharges d'un central téléphonique surchargé, procédé selon lequel le niveau de surcharge d'un central téléphonique est transmis par celui-ci aux centraux téléphoniques voisins par l'intermédiaire d'une valeur de surcharge (valeur ACL = Automatic Congestion Level) déterminée pour tout le réseau. Selon le procédé ACC, seulement deux valeurs ne sont toutefois prévues en tant que valeurs ACL, ce qui conduit à des mesures de réduction brusques et abruptes dans les terminaux téléphoniques voisins. L'invention permet de résoudre ce problème par le fait que dans un central téléphonique voisin, une valeur de surcharge (valeur OCL = Overload Congestion Level) est déterminée à partir de l'information constituée de plusieurs valeurs ACL, cette valeur de surcharge étant prise en considération pour la commande de la mesure de réduction à prendre par ce central voisin en ce qui concerne le central surchargé.

This region is almost completely cut through, by long grooves (11) subtending angle  alpha  of up to 30 degrees over approximately one third of their length, with the equator. The innermost shoulder row (1) comprises blocks separated by grooves (2). Each second groove is almost aligned with a long groove (11).  Preferred features: Only the third or fourth transverse groove (2) aligns with the long groove (11). Long groove closed ends make the angle ( alpha ') with the equator (ZZ). Long groove closed ends are spaced by preferably 10-5% or less of the width (B), from the circumferential groove (6) of the outer region (A). At their open ends, the long grooves subtend the angle  alpha  with the equator, of about 50 degrees . Other grooves (2) in the inner shoulder are continued in the central region as shorter, closed grooves (13), ending near the equator line. Further, more shallow, small grooves (14), intersect adjacent long grooves. The outer tread (A) includes a narrow, straight circumferential groove (4). There is a tread band (5) between the central region and the circumferential groove (4). Further circumferential grooves are included. A variant is described and edge alignment of transverse grooves is further specified.

Abstract: The system uses specific regions where tickets may be validated, excluding areas where uncertainty may arise. The protocol provides for the detection of the presence of individuals or objects, provided with electronic tickets (14) within a defined space, such as the carriage on a transport system. The protocol anticipates the disclosure of tickets at the approach to, or in the entry corridor of the defined space. The ticket is localised by at least one measurement of distance. Given that in some areas there may be a margin of error which prevent accurate determination of the location of a ticket, such areas are excluded from the region in which ticket validation is carried out when the entry is open. The entry zone is defined by a field emitted by a transmitter (22) and received by the tickets.
