Abstract: Systems and methods can provide, in one aspect, a method for modulating the pulse width of control signals generated on a plurality of separate channels. In one practice, the methods described herein are suitable for execution on a microprocessor or micro controller platform that includes a timer interrupt mechanism which will generate an interrupt in response to a timer counting down a selected time interval or time period. In one practice, the timer is set to count down a period of time that is representative of a portion, or sub period, of the PWM cycle. Upon expiration of that time period, the timer executes an interrupt that causes the micro controller to enter an interrupt service routine (ISR) that can further modulate the PWM cycle of one or more signals.

Title: Process for recovery of ethyl acetate
Inventor: COLLEY STEPHEN WILLIAM
IPC: C07C69/14
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: A process is described for the recovery of substantially pure ethyl acetate from a feedstock comprising ethyl acetate, ethanol and water. This uses a first distillation zone maintained under first distillation conditions effective for distillation therefrom a first distillate comprising ethyl acetate, ethanol, and less than about 10 mol % water. The first distillate is recovered from the first distillation zone and is supplied to a second distillation zone maintained under second distillation conditions which include use of a higher pressure than that of the first distillation zone, which are effective for distillation therefrom of a second distillate comprising ethanol, water, and a minor proportion of ethyl acetate and which yield a substantially pure ethyl acetate bottom product, which is recovered. The second distillate is returned to the first distillation zone. A typical feedstock to the process contains less than about 20 mol % water which is supplied to the first distillation zone. Typically the first distillation zone is operated at a pressure of less than about 4 bar (2 x 10 5 Pa), while the second distillation zone is preferably operated at a pressure of from about 9 bar (9 x 10 5 bar) absolute to about 15 bar (1.5 x 10 6 Pa) absolute.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un procédé de production d'un gaz riche en méthane (SNG, gaz naturel de synthèse). On charge de la biomasse et/ou des combustibles fossiles, ainsi que de l'hydrogène provenant d'une source externe dans un réacteur d'hydrogazéification. Les produits de réaction provenant du réacteur d'hydrogazéification sont transformés, dans un réacteur de méthanation, en SNG présentant un indice de Wobbe se situant entre 40 et 45 MJ/m?3¿ (température et pression normales), de préférence entre 42 et 45 MJ/m?3¿ (température et pression normales), et qui possède un pourcentage molaire de méthane d'au moins 75 %, de préférence d'au moins 80 %. Le SNG formé peut être fourni sans problèmes à des consommateurs par l'intermédiaire du réseau de gaz existant, et peut être utilisé dans des installations existantes. Le procédé de l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre avec un réacteur de méthanation compact comportant peu d'éléments. A long terme, lorsqu'on utilisera davantage de l'hydrogène issu de procédés électrolytiques mis en oeuvre par des sources renouvelables, le procédé de l'invention constituera un moyen approprié pour valoriser la biomasse et les déchets organiques, à l'aide d'hydrogène, en vue de former du SNG. A court terme, cependant, l'hydrogène peut être obtenu à partir de sources fossiles.

Title: Optical phase shifting, splitting and combining device
Inventor: GODBOUT NICOLAS
IPC: H04B10/532
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: A Mach-Zehnder device including an input port, an output port, a substantially achromatic first coupling region optically connected to the input port and a substantially achromatic second coupling region optically connected to the output port. An intermediate region is optically connected to the first and second coupling regions. The intermediate region includes a first intermediate branch and a second intermediate branch. The first intermediate branch defines a phase shifting portion. The phase shifting portion, in turn, defines a phase shifting portion level of birefringence over the length of the phase shifting portion. The phase shifting portion level of birefringence is different that the level of birefringence prevailing over the remainder of the first intermediate branch. The birefringence differential between the phase shifting portion level of birefringence and the level of birefringence prevailing over the remainder of the first intermediate branch creates a polarization selective phase shift enabling the generally wavelength insensitive device to be used either as a coupler or splitter.

Title: Method for generating patient-specific implants
Inventor: FRIED WOLFGANG
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating patient-specific implants from the results of an examination of a patient arising from an imaging method in medical technology. The aim of the invention is to generate an implant which is functionally and aesthetically adapted to the patient with a greater degree of precision, irrespective of the size, form and complexity of the defect, whereby said implant can be produced and operatively inserted into the patient over a short time period and in a simple manner. According to the invention, a virtual three-dimensional model of the patient which is formed from existing recorded (two-dimensional) image data of a patient known per se is compared with real medical reference data. Said comparison which is, for example, carried out using a data bank with test person data enables a reference model object which is most suited to the patient or closest to the patient model to be selected or formed and a virtual implant model is generated accordingly.      CNC control data is directly generated from the implant model which is generated virtually in the computer for program-assisted production of said implant.
