Abstract: The invention concerns a sickle mowing machine having a rotatable blade (12, 14, 16) which is substantially surrounded over its periphery and at the top by a cover (46). The blade (12, 14, 16) comprises an upwardly directed guide arrangement (32) and a downwardly directed guide arrangement (42) which swirl mowed material upwards and urge it down to the ground again. The mowed material thus passes several times into the cutting region of the blade (12, 14, 16) and is thus comminuted ("pulverized") a number of times. In order to be able to mow a broad swathe in one course, a plurality of blades (12, 14, 16) of the above-mentioned type are arranged adjacent one another. In order to increase the efficiency of the comminution process, the covers (46) have passages (48) for the mowed material. Peripheral walls (50) of the covers (46) widen tangentially in the sense of rotation (U) towards the passages (48) so that the effective width (d) of the passages (48) for mowed material moving in a tangential direction is as wide as possible.

Abstract: The apparatus measure the radius of curvature of a reflective or partially reflective surface 18, and comprises first and second lasers 2, 4 which generate two parallel beams a known distance apart. A lens 12 focuses the beams, which are passed via a beam splitter 14 and transform lens 16 to the surface 18. The beams are reflected back via the transform lens 16 and the beam splitter 14 onto a detector 20. A processor 22 calculates the radius of curvature of the surface in dependence of the known distance X separating the beams and the positions of the beams on the detector 20. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for conducting a search in a codebook. This codebook consists of a set of pulse amplitude/position combinations each defining a number L of positions p and comprising both zero-amplitude pulses and non-zero-amplitude pulses assigned to respective positions p = 1, 2, ...L of the combination. Also, each non-zero-amplitude pulse assumes one of q possible amplitudes. According to the method, a subset of combinations is pre-selected from the codebook, and the search is limited to this subset to reduce complexity thereof. To pre-select the subset, an amplitude/position function is pre-established in relation to the sound signal. Pre-establishing the amplitude/position function includes pre-assigning one of the q possible amplitudes to each position p by (i) processing the sound signal to produce a backward-filtered target signal D and a pitch-removed residual signal R', (ii) calculating an amplitude estimate vector B in response to the signals D and R', and (iii) for each position p, quantizing an amplitude estimate Bp of the vector B to obtain the amplitude to be selected for that particular position p.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved catalytic filter material for use in removing contaminants such as NOx from a fluid stream. The filter of the present invention employs composite fibers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled with catalytic particles. The composite fibers are chopped into staple fibers and made into a felt material. Preferably, the felt material is then laminated on at least one side with a protective microporous membrane. The combined filter removes both macro-particles, such as dust, from the filter stream before the dust can clog active catalytic sites and effectively catalytically coverts undesirable contaminants in the fluid stream to acceptable end products.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour faire fonctionner un système de gestion de fautes d'un réseau d'accès faisant partie d'un réseau de télécommunication publique. Dans ce réseau d'accès, des lignes de destination partent sous la forme de paire de fils de cuivre d'un commutateur local (10), et transitent par une série de noeuds pour arriver jusqu'à un terminal utilisateur du réseau. Le système de gestion des fautes comprend une tête d'essai (104) et un système de gestion du réseau d'accès (102). Chaque nuit, la tête d'essai (104) effectue une série d'essais sur chacune des linges de destination. Les résultats des essais sont transmis au système de gestion (102) du réseau. Ils sont alors convertis en note de circuit, chaque note indiquant la qualité opérationnelle du circuit testé. Pour chaque noeud, les notes des circuits testés traversant le noeud sont combinées pour produire une note de noeud qui est indicative de la qualité opérationnelle du noeud. Pour identifier le noeud opérationel le plus défecteux, et donc nécessitant le plus de recherches, les noeuds sont classés en fonction de leur notes.

Abstract: A method of fueling an engine (92) of a vehicle having a fuel storage tank (70) is accomplished by providing a liquid fuel for fueling the engine (92). The fuel is cooled to reduced temperatures substantially less than ambient temperature so that the volume of the fuel is reduced. The fuel is stored in the storage tank (70) while the fuel is at the reduced temperatures, with the reduced volume of the fuel thereby allowing more fuel to be held in the storage tank (70) and/or increasing the energy value of the fuel per unit volume. The fuel may be transferred from the storage tank (70) to the engine (92) while the fuel is at the reduced temperatures. The fuel may be cooled using either liquid nitrogen (76), or conventional mechanical refrigeration equipment (150).                           00000

The housing is secured to a legged spider or cage carrying a hollow axle by which the apparatus is secured to the engine and oil delivered to a separation rotor canister. Liquid ejected tangentially from rotor nozzles to cause it to rotate tends to flow around the inside of the housing as a vortex and to prevent rotation of the canister being interfered with by climbing of the vortex or splashing of the liquid from such vortex, one or more vortex disruption vanes are formed with the legs of the cage to deflect liquid.
