Patent EP-1022555-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PAILLARD MICHEL
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: The system uses a transparent cell within which erosion can be seen taking place.  The measurement equipment includes a parallelepiped measurement cell (1) within which there is a flow loop, generating a flow of fluid in a measurement region. The loop is provided by a channel (31) extending under the base of the cell. The measurement cell provides an effective surface area of approximately 100cm<2>, whilst the height of the channel is of the order of 20mm. The cell includes a transparent section, to that the erosion of the sample by the fluid can be monitored visually. Accurate measurement of the erosion occurring within the cell may be achieved by use of a laser measuring device, illuminating an area of the cell.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling background caching of
encrypted programming data on a storage medium for later playback
in a digital video recorder (DVR) system. A set top box
(300) (STB) equipped with a DVR searches a program guide for
upcoming pay-per-view (PPV) events. When the PPV event begins,
the STB tunes an appropriate transponder and begins receiving
programming data packets containing audio, video, system time
and conditional access data packets associated with the event,
which are stored for playback on a storage medium (320). When
the user turns the STB on and selects an option to playback a
previously-recorded PPV event, the appropriate programming data
is retrieved from the storage medium (320), and the STB recreates
the original transmission timing of the data, to be displayed
on a display device (370) of the user (Fig. 3).

IPC: B30B11/02

Abstract: A multiple-acting powder metal press is disclosed for making green form double helical gear compacts. The press has inner and outer lower punches (1082, 1084), and an upper, outer punch (1026). The upper and lower outer punches have left hand and right hand external helical profiles as chosen to produce a desired helical gear. The punches co-operate with left hand and right hand helical dies (1024) carried by the press about the punches. The helical faces require that the dies rotate relative to the punches during operation. A cam and roller mechanism may drive this rotation. The compact forming process commences with an open position in which powder is introduced to a vacant lower die cavity. The upper portions of the press advance downward to close the cavity. All parts of the press except the lower inner, or transfer, punch then move downward at the same speed to transfer powder to the extremities of the cavity. When transfer is complete both lower punches may be stopped, while the upper punches continue to advance. The dies advance at half the speed of the upper punches, rotating partially as they do so. Once the powder reaches its compacted density the upper and lower punches cease motion, but the dies continue to turn, separating themselves and compressed part. Finally the part is ejected and the press returns to the initial condition.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour comprimer un contenu en langage script, tel que le langage hypertexte (HTML). Des mots de code sont produits pour les éléments HTML, tels que des étiquettes et leurs attributs, de sorte que la quantité de données, par exemple dans une page Web, soit réduite. Les mots de code sont combinés (230) au texte (215) traduit (ou codé), de manière que des données HTML comprimées soient produites. Les mots de code peuvent comporter des bits réservés permettant de distinguer les étiquettes vides des étiquettes contenants, et d'indiquer si une étiquette contenant est une étiquette d'ouverture ou de fermeture, ou de fournir d'autres informations relatives à l'étiquette afin de faciliter le traitement. La quantité de données devant être communiquées, par exemple pour représenter une page Web qui est transmise à un terminal d'abonné, est ainsi réduite. Par ailleurs, l'appareil et le procédé de l'invention permettent l'utilisation d'un moteur graphique (156) ou d'un explorateur (159), par exemple dans un terminal d'abonné (150) qui traite/rend les données HTML comprimées (ex. mots de code) directement sans les décomprimer. Ladite technique est compatible avec d'autres techniques de compression, pour une compression encore supérieure.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un système permettant d'utiliser des champs magnétiques pour chauffer des matériaux sensibles sur le plan magnétique adjacents et/ou à l'intérieur d'adhésifs, de résines ou de composites pour coller, lier ou fixer de manière réversible ou irréversible des matériaux solides opaques ou non opaques les uns aux autres. Ledit système a recours à l'effet selon lequel des champs magnétiques alternants induisent des courants de Foucault et génèrent de la chaleur à l'intérieur des suscepteurs, et à l'effet selon lequel des champs magnétiques alternants induisent en outre l'hystérésis magnétique se produisant dans des matériaux magnétiques et génèrent ainsi de la chaleur. On utilise un outil de chauffe à induction pour émettre le champ magnétique au niveau de sa bobine de fonctionnement, et un dispositif de commande électronique mesure l'énergie en cours d'utilisation par un convertisseur de courant générant le courant alternatif actionnant la bobine de fonctionnement qui crée la champ magnétique. La distance entre le suscepteur et la bobine de fonctionnement est analysée de manière répétée à partir de l'énergie d'entrée du convertisseur de courant, et ladite bobine est actionnée à un niveau de courant corrigé de manière répétée pendant le cycle de chauffe. Une fois qu'une énergie accumulée suffisante a été fournie au suscepteur, le champ magnétique est éteint automatiquement par l'outil, ce qui empêche une surchauffe du suscepteur.

Abstract: Linear polymers of glycerol can prevent or delay ice nucleation in a variety of contexts. Polyglycerol can also be employed in combination with other ice control agents, such as polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinyl acetate copolymers and antifreeze proteins, to provide antinucleation effects that are superior to those of either polyglycerol or the co-antinucleator alone. Polyglycerol has a number of advantageous physical and toxicological properties, such as extreme water solubility, non-toxicity to human beings, non-toxicity to animal tissues and organs in vitro even at extreme concentrations, minimal foaming tendency, minimal retention on hydrophobic surfaces, and stability in solution without the need for periodic heating to reactivate its antinucleation properties.

Abstract: A method for compensating for multipath components in a received
CDMA signal comprising a repetitive PRN code uses delay times in addition to
the early, late and prompt delay times for determining if a multipath
component is present in the received signal, and if so, making an adjustment to
the delay time of the replica code generated by a receiver so as to minimize
the difference between the correlation values for a delay time equal to -1 chip
and a delay time more negative than -1 chip. In this manner, adjustments to
the estimation time for the start of the PRN code can be made in a manner
which minimizes the effects of multipath components. A system using
additional delays and correlators in association with the code phase detector, a
code numerical control oscillator and replica code generator is described for
performing the above methodology. The methodology is particularly suitable
for GPS receivers and may further be used in receivers that receive any type of
digital sequence spread spectrum, code division multiple access signals.
Compensation for multipath components with 180 degree phase shifts is also
made as well as compensation due to smoothing of the triangular correlation
function due to RF characteristics and non-ideal PRN codes.

the X direction perpendicular to the Y direction. Namely, the light emitted from the light
emitting device 43 is condensed in a narrow angular range in the Y direction, and is
