Abstract: A perforated (6) grid (2) is used to avoid the blocking  of the intermediate division and the water drainage canal (5) by the snow and ice pieces that fall into the water drainage pool (4) in large masses during the defrosting of the evaporator of a two-door, "No-Frost" refrigerator having freezer and fresh food compartments and to melt these masses by means of the switched-in heaters (1). The grid (2) is made of a rectangular and preferably metallic sheet iron piece. At the bottom of the grid (2) perforations (6) are arranged with a certain distance from each other and in any desired number and form. Furthermore, the lowest part of the evaporator (3) heater (1) is seated on the grid (2) base and the heater (1) is mounted by means of the detents (7) formed on the grid (2), in such a manner that it will be in contact with the bottom of the grid (2).

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for thermally or mechanically treating tissue, such as valvular structures, to reconfigure or shrink the tissue in a controlled manner, thereby improving or restoring tissue function. The apparatus comprises a catheter in communication with an end effector. The end effector induces a temperature rise in an annulus of tissue surrounding the leaflets of a valve sufficient to cause shrinkage of the tissue, thereby reducing a diameter of the annulus and causing the valves to close more tightly. Alternatively, the end effector selectively induces a temperature rise in the chordae tendineae sufficient to cause a controlled degree of shortening of the chordae tendineae, thereby enabling the valve leaflets to be properly aligned. In another alternative, the end effector is configured to mechanically shorten the effective length of the chordae tendineae by forcing the tendineae through a tortuous path, again properly aligning the valve leaflets.

Title: Tire-lait programmable

Granted: 2010-12-01
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un tire-lait pouvant être programmé pour générer, entre autres choses, une pluralité de séquences, ou courbes différentes, d'expression (extraction) du lait. Selon un mode de réalisation, une pompe motorisée (fonctionnant à l'air comprimé, à pile et/ou sur le secteur) est équipée d'une unité de commande à microprocesseur. Des cartes à puce incorporant différentes courbes de succion, servent é programmer l'unité de commande en fonction de conditions et d'objectifs variables. Le tire-lait comprend une unité de commande, sous forme d'un sélecteur rotatif par exemple, qui sert simultanément à régler le niveau de succion et le taux à l'intérieur d'une séquence. La « force » et la « vitesse » de succion sont en relation inverse. Lorsque la force de succion (dépression) augmente, par exemple, le taux (cycle) diminue; et vice-versa. Les programmes correspondent à une ou plusieurs séquences de succion nouvelles dont on pense qu'elles donnent des résultats personnalisés avantageux. Une telle séquence comprend par exemple une technique d'aspiration (programme ou courbe) pour mamelon douloureux; une technique d'aspiration pour production lactée accrue; un technique d'aspiration améliorée de façon générale, et une technique de stimulation du mamelon. Le tire-lait comprend également un dispositif de protection de la membrane de la pompe (le cas échéant) contre les fluides (air/lait). Un couvercle souple amovible qui est disposé entre la coiffe de la pompe et la membrane située dans la coiffe, isole ladite membrane du fluide. Ce couvercle peut être déposé en vue d'au moins un nettoyage et pour sa mise au rebut. La membrane souple comporte une jante sur laquelle vient se monter le couvercle. La coiffe comporte une ouverture interne faite pour englober la jante avec couvercle en place et former un joint sensiblement étanche à l'air. Ce couvercle forme joint entre la jante et la coiffe.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of composing messages for speech output, in particular the improvement of the quality of reproduction of speech outputs of this kind. For this purpose a series of original sentences for messages is segmented. These segments (10) are stored in the form of audio files together with search criteria in a database (11). Additionally to this information further entries (12) are made on the segments (10), in that the length, the position and the transition values for the respective segments (10) are recorded and stored. If a sentence is to be reproduced it is transmitted in a format corresponding to the format of the search criteria. Then an investigation is done into whether the sentence to be reproduced can be fully reproduced by one segment or by a succession of stored segments (10). If this is the case the segments found in each case are examined using their entries (12) as to how far the individual segments match as regards speech rhythm, wherein the audio files of the segments (10) in which the examination resulted in the pre-requisites for optimal maintaining of the natural speech rhythm are then combined and output for reproduction.

Abstract: During operation of a single waste water treatment basin, activated sludge is allowed to settle, prior to the pumped discharge of treated water. The discharge pump is especially switched on for a short time during the sedimentation stage, causing water to rise in an ascending section of the pressure pipe on the discharge side of the pump. The pump pulse causes a quantity of water to return to the basin.  An Independent claim is also included for a discharge pump (28) for clear water which can be regulated to produce a pulse of water during the sedimentation stage in a rising section of pipe (30) downstream from the pump, returning water to the basin (10). The pump gives only a series of short pulses, discharging water only from the rising section of pipe.

Title: Data processing device with a memory location in which data is stored according to a wom code

Granted: 2005-08-17
Abstract: A device contains a memory that stores a WOM codeword that encodes successive generations of data values. When the codeword must be updated to represent a new data value, the device determines which updates of the dataword can be realized by feasible single bit updates to the WOM (Write Once Memory) codeword. If no feasible single bit update is possible, feasible two-bit updates are considered. Under control of the new data values a connection circuit routes feasibility signals for various updates, that signal the single-bit feasibility of the updates. Routing brings together pairs of feasibility signals for updates that together produce a WOM codeword that encodes the new data value. A pair is selected in which both feasibility signals indicate feasibility and the codeword is updated according to the updates involved in the pair. Preferably, the routing is realized with a connection circuit that comprises a number of layers of subcircuits, each routing the feasibility signals dependent on a respective bit of the new dataword. Also preferably, the WOM code is designed so that each of a number of updates to the data word can be realized by setting singles ones of a plurality of bits.
