Patent EP-0886148-A1 (EP)
Title: Method and system for real time position determination using satellites, notably of the FPS type
Inventor: GOUNON RENE
IPC: G01S5/14
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: The method of location of points involves simultaneously capturing reference station of known coordinates and radio frequency signals from a moving object. The radio frequency signals are emitted on two frequencies (L1,L2) by a group of satellites. Initialisation processing determines coordinates from points based upon linear measurement combinations of phases of two apparent frequencies. The apparent frequencies( L4,L5) are different from those of the emission frequencies of the group of satellites. Linear stemming positions of variations realized to each of these two frequencies are combined such that interference between them is canceled.

Abstract: A neutral or cationic polymer is used to prevent the activation of a blood or plasma phase in contact with semi-permeable membranes of polyacrylonitrile. A neutral or cationic polymer is used to prevent activation of the contact phase of blood or plasma coming into contact with a semi-permeable membrane based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carrying fixed negative charges situated in an apparatus for the treatment of blood or plasma by extra-corporal circulation. The neutral or cationic polymer is combined with the semi-permeable membrane before or after formation of the membrane and before sterilization of the membrane. The overall ionic capacity of the semi-permeable membrane based on PAN and carrying fixed negative charges and including a neutral or cationic polymer, is negative. The absolute value of the overall ionic capacity of the semi-permeable membrane based on PAN and carrying fixed negative charges and including a neutral or cationic polymer is at most 10 % less than the overall ionic capacity of the same semi-permeable membrane without the neutral or cationic polymer. The modified PAN based semi-permeable membrane corresponds, before sterilization, with one or other of the following electric characteristics: (a) the electrokinetic index I is less than or equal to 0.8, where I is the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio Z/R where Z = the zeta potential in microvolts, expressed as an absolute value, of the surface of the membrane which comes into contact with the blood or plasma, and R = the electrical resistivity of the membrane expressed in ohm.cm; and (b) the Zeta potential Z is positive and is between 0 and +15 mV (terminals not included). Independent claims are included for: (A) the production of a device for the treatment of blood or plasma by extra-corporal circulation in contact with a semi-permeable membrane in the form of a flat membrane or a bundle of hollow fibers; and (B) a device for the treatment of blood or plasma by extra-corporal circulation, sterilized and ready to use, containing a semi-permeable membrane.

Abstract: Following a first mixing phase of the materials to be pressed by rotating the vat without applying pressure or applying a pressure (Po) the instantaneous flow rate of the juice (Dit) is measured. The quantity of recovered juice (Qjt) as a function of time (t) since the start of mixing is measured. Following a second mixing phase a second phase of consecutive measurement whilst applying a pressure (Po) or without applying the pressure is compared with the previous values and verified when the inequality Dit ≤ Qjt/t is attained.

Abstract: To mix anticoagulants with fresh blood, in a blood bag (29), as blood is taken from a donor into the bag it is given dimensional and/or timed movements which are varied according to at least one of the changing parameters as blood is taken. The blood bag (29) is moved on two axes (15,19) or three axes, at right angles to each other. Each swing movement and each translatory movement is under a separate control. One swing movement, especially at the start of blood donation, is repeated more than twice and preferably a selected number of times such as 30-40 movements before pausing. The blood bag (29) is held at an angle until a given volume has been received, such as 100 ml, for the fresh blood to flow downwards and mix directly with the anticoagulant at the bottom of the bag. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus with weighing scales and a holder (13) for the blood bag (29). It has at least one axis (15) and a drive (14) to move the bag holder (13), linked to a control (21). A mechanism (23,25,27) sets the dimensional and/or timed movement patterns according to measured values. Preferred Features: A second drive gives the blood bag a sliding movement along the axis (15) in addition to the swing movements. A second axis (19), at right angles to the first axis (15), has a drive (18) to swing and/or slide the bag holder (13) on the axis (19). A third axis can be included for additional movements. The separate drives are given individual controlled actions.

Abstract: Grooves and holes of high aspect ratio are filled
completely and uniformly. After forming connection holes (3)
and wiring grooves (4) in a silicon oxide film (2) which is
formed on a silicon substrate (1), a TiN film (5) is formed
over the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate and a
Ti film (6) is formed on the region except for the connection
holes (3) and the wiring grooves (4). Then, in a state where
the connection holes (3) and the wiring groove (4) are dipped
in a plating solution, a plating treatment is carried out
under a deposition overvoltage higher than the deposition
overvoltage of TiN to copper and lower than the deposition
overvoltage of Ti to copper. Since plating is thus applied
only to the portion where the TiN film (5) is exposed, namely,
only to the portion of the connection holes (3) and the
wiring grooves (4), the connection holes (3) and the wiring
grooves (4) are filled with copper and when they are polished
by a chemical and mechanical polishing method to form wirings,
satisfactory copper wiring which are uniform and well filled
can be obtained.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling an encoding rate in a communication system utilizes feedforward rate information (48) and/or rate desirability information (50) sent from each of a plurality of variable rate vocoders (34) to a communication link output controller (24), such as a network arbitor. The communication link output controller (24) then sends a feedback control signal (32) to a selected variable rate vocoder to change the encoding rate of the selected variable rate vocoder to facilitate re-encoding of the speech packet when a bottleneck is detected. In another embodiment, the network arbitor (134) may additionally and independently modify speech packet data when it determines that a bottleneck may occur. The network arbitor (134) also communicates a packet modification control signal (132) for the variable rate vocoder that generated the dropped packet so that the corresponding variable rate vocoder can adjust its filter states to maintain convergence.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des résonateurs secondaires (10, 20, 22, 50, 52, 32, 54), intra-cavité et/ou extra-cavité, pourvus de miroirs diélectriques (10, 50, 52, 54). Ces résonateurs présentent à la fois des revêtements anti-reflets et des revêtements fortement réfléchissants, permettant de générer un rayonnement laser possédant une troisième harmonique (32), ainsi que des harmoniques d'ordre supérieur de grande efficacité. Les résonateurs principaux et les résonateurs secondaires améliorent respectivement l'oscillation fondamentale et l'oscillation des harmoniques, permettant ainsi d'obtenir un rendement de conversion élevé à partir de la troisième harmonique (32). Cette émission laser améliorée peut être réalisée dans des lasers haute puissance, afin d'améliorer leur puissance et ainsi obtenir une puissance de sortie du rayonnement ultraviolet supérieure à 8W, avec une fréquence de récurrence élevée. L'utilisation de techniques de génération de troisième harmonique à l'intérieur d'une cavité (THG) sont d'une grande efficacité, dans la mesure où elles utilisent l'intensité élevée existante des fréquences fondamentales d'entrée, disponibles dans la région intérieure de la cavité du laser; ces techniques permettent donc d'éviter tout dommage à des composants dudit laser, par exemple le cristal laser. Les techniques THG utilisent un montage à double passage et/ou à plusieurs passages, qui permet une hausse de l'ordre de 60 % de la puissance de sortie par rapport à une configuration à un seul passage. Ces techniques permettent enfin de bloquer de l'énergie produite par le rayonnement ultraviolet produite au cours d'un passage de retour, et ainsi d'éliminer les dommages causés par ce rayonnement aux composants de la cavité principale.
