Patent EP-0918341-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LANCIANO GIOVANNI
IPC: H01F27/04
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: An electric transformer for high- and very high-intensity currents, particularly for
furnaces and rectifiers, comprising a tank (2) which contains a magnetic core (3)
with the corresponding windings (4,5). The low-voltage feedthroughs for high- and
very high-intensity currents protrude hermetically from the tank (2). The particularity
of the invention is constituted by the fact that at least the portion of the wall of the
tank that is affected by the low-voltage feedthroughs is made of aluminum and/or
alloys thereof and forms openings for the hermetic passage of the low-voltage
feedthroughs.

Abstract: A hand held battery powered tool for cutting vegetation
such as a hedge trimmer comprising an elongate rod (1), a
battery pack (2) attachable at one end of the elongate rod
(1), an electric motor (4) pivotally attached to the other
end of the elongate rod (1) and which is in electrical
contact with the battery pack (2) and at least one cutting
blade (18) which extends from and is driven by the motor
(4). The weight of the battery pack (2) at one end of the
rod (1) acts to counterbalance the weight of the electrical
motor (4) and the blades (18) at the other end of the rod
when the cutting tool is held by a user. A support handle
(3) is located in the neighbourhood of the centre of gravity
of the cutting tool.

Abstract: A water-immiscible marker is dissolved in polyethylene
glycol or other suitable carrier, and the marker so dissolved
is added to a waterborne composition which is used as an
additive to a waterborne or water processable composition.
Subsequently, the marker is either extracted with a non-polar
solvent or detected by means of a surface spot test. From the
non-polar solvent, the marker is extracted with an acidic
aqueous solution or an alkaline aqueous solution, depending
upon the marker, and color-developed. Likewise, a surface
spot test can detect the presence of the marker by, if
necessary, first softening the marked surface to be tested
either chemically or by thermal means, and developing a color
with a color-developing reagent placed on the exposed
surface. Applications can include the marking of paint,
coatings, wax emulsions and water soluble/dispersable
additives commonly used in water based applications, e.g.,
cement additives.

Abstract: In the method for overload control in a wireless communications network
employing On-Demand Multiple Access Fair Queuing, if the downlink/uplink buffer
occupancy of the network has exceeded a high threshold, the base station determines
if this is caused by a specific remote host or by a group of remote hosts. If caused by
a specific remote host, the base station normally sends a flow control signal to the
remote host to prevent it from sending more data, but may alternatively elect to
disconnect other remotes if the remote experiencing bad performance is of a higher
priority. The base station may additionally reduce the bandwidth shares allocated to
any remote that have indicated tolerance for a variable allocated bandwidth. If the
measured frame error rates for many remote hosts are increasing, then the base station
may elect to disconnect those remote hosts that permit service interruption in order
that more bandwidth may be allocated to the remaining users. If a majority of all
associated remote hosts experience high uplink frame error rates, the base station may
instead send a signal to a wireless hub which can coordinate the actions of other
access points. Short packets queued up for so long at the base station that they exceed
the time-to-live value allocated will be thrown away. The base station may also or
alternatively elect to disconnect some users of a lower priority or redirect them to
other nearby base stations that have a lower load. In a particular embodiment, an
uplink Frame Error Rate (FER), an average uplink bit rate, a burstiness factor of
uplink traffic, and a packet loss rate are measured at the base station for each remote
host. Similarly, a downlink Frame Error Rate is measured at each remote host and
then each FER is sent to the base station. If an overload condition exits, connections
with a Frame Error Rate that has exceeded a threshold for a specified time and that
have indicated that their connections can be interrupted are disconnected.

Abstract: Apparatus for and a method for shimming main magnetic field in a magnetic resonance
imaging apparatus is provided. A radio frequency pulse sequence  (200)  is generated while
a subject is in an examination region  (14)  of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus.
A reference signal  (EC1)  which is immune to shim errors is then acquired. Thereafter,
a field echo  (EC3a)  signal is acquired which is sensitive to shim errors. The field echo
 (EC3a)  signal is acquired at a timed interval  (T)  equal to a multiple of an amount of time
it takes for fat and water signals to become in phase. The temporal position of the
maximum of the field echo signal is compared to its predicted temporal position  (EC3) 
relative to the reference signal  (EC1) . The shim term is calculated based on the
preceding comparison and an electrical current is applied to one of a gradient offset and
a shim coil such that the main magnetic field is adjusted according to the shim term.
