Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: The fuel economiser (1) comprises a housing (3) which fits round the fuel feed pipe (2), made from a neutral material, and contains a number of magnets (4). The magnets are designed to create a symmetrical magnetic field which transforms para-hydrogen molecules in the fuel into ortho-hydrogen molecules. The magnetic field is created by at least two permanent barium ferrite magnets with inverse poles and axial magnetisation; they are cylindrical in shape and have their axes in line with a plane passing through the centre of the fuel pipe. A variant of the design contains electromagnets which emit a magnetic field varying with the volume of fuel passing through the feed pipe.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des barres de mailles (35, 283) de chalut (13, 263) comprenant au moins une partie pourvue d'une torsade en forme de tire-bouchon qui produit un effet d'hydrofoil. Ces barres de mailles sont, de préférence, constituées d'une matière ayant une section transversale sensiblement incompressible. En sélectionnant, de manière appropriée, le commettage et le bord d'attaque des barres de maille (35, 283), le déplacement du chalut (13, 263) dans l'eau crée un différentiel de pression et une portance sur cette partie de barres de mailles (13, 263) produisant un effet d'hydrofoil. La portance ainsi créée améliore les caractéristiques de performance du chalut (13, 263), à savoir l'augmentation du volume du chalut, l'amélioration de la forme du chalut et la réduction de la vibration, du bruit et de la résistance. Pour obtenir la plus grande amélioration possible des chaluts (13, 263), il faut augmenter les valeurs limites du pas de la torsade de l'article torsadé (par exemple, des cordes torsadées) (36, 37) et des bandes (284) qui forment les barres de maille (35, 283). En ce qui concerne les bandes (284), le rapport entre la profondeur et l'épaisseur influence également de manière significative les performances du chalut (13, 263).

Abstract: In order to cancel echo on several sound signal channels, the method consists in generating on each channel a synthetic signal having the spectral characteristics of a white noise; computing the frequency masking thresholds in several adjacent frequency bands using auditory perception properties; bringing in each frequency channel the synthetic signal level to the associated masking threshold value, so as to obtain an auxiliary signal, which is added to the signal associated with the loudspeaker of the channel concerned; supplying the resulting signal to an adaptive filter; adding the output signals of the associated adaptive filters to each microphone channel; subtracting the resulting signal received by the microphone of this channel; deducing an estimation error, on the basis of which the coefficients of the adaptive filters associated with this channel are corrected.

Title: Technique de transfert de masque d'echelle de gris et de motif de profondeur utilisant un verre de chalcogenure inorganique
Inventor: BLOCK BARRY
IPC: G03F1/54
Filed: 1998-05-15
Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de production d'un masque haute résolution d'échelle de gris dilatée analogique. En utilisant un verre de chalcogénure inorganique, tel que du germanium de sélénium, revêtu d'une fine couche d'argent, on peut produire un masque d'échelle de gris avec une commande précise de la taille, de l'uniformité et de la variance des pixels. Le verre de germanium de sélénium est composé de structures en colonnes disposées perpendiculairement au substrat permettant d'obtenir une précision de bord de 100 Å. Les structures en colonnes empêchent également les attaques latérales pendant le procédé d'attaque, ce qui permet de placer les pixels de façon rapprochée. Par conséquent, le germanium de sélénium peut être utilisé comme un masque d'échelle de gris haute résolution avec une échelle de gris analogique dilatée. Le masque d'échelle de gris peut aussi être utilisé pour imprimer des informations grâce à la modulation de l'épaisseur, sur une couche photorésist de germanium de sélénium sur un substrat inorganique. La couche photorésist de germanium de sélénium peut transférer ensuite l'échelle de gris vers le substrat.

Patent EP-0906524-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHMITT HANS-WALTER
IPC: F16H59/02
Filed: 1998-03-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for operating a control device in a motor vehicle. According to the invention, at least one input signal is connected to said control device. The invention is characterized in that elements are provided for activating the control device in response to a change in the input signal. These inventive elements enable the control device to react appropriately to a change in the input signal at any time. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, these inventive elements have a lower internal current consumption than the control device being activated. Since said inventive elements only have a low internal current consumption and since the control device with the higher internal current consumption is only activated when necessary (when there is a change in the input signal), the invention ensures that the control system has a high degree of operational reliability without excessive use of energy.

Le matériau extensible préféré est une pile des cristaux piézo-électriques.
