Inventor: KUCKHERMANN GUSTAV
IPC: B65G65/00
Filed: 1994-09-15
Abstract: In a method for palletising tubular sections made of paper or such like materials closed into a tubular shape by means of a longitudinal adhesive seam, for the production of sacks or bags, the tubular sections are supplied in the form of tube bundles (2) by a tube machine to a palletising device (1) having a loading apparatus (5). By means of this, the tube bundles are transferred individually or in groups to a respective supporting base (6) of a rack-type pallet (3) and, in a storage position of the pallet between the palletising operation and subsequent depalletisation, are held pressed together over their surface on their respective supporting base. To execute a palletising operation, the respective tube bundle in the loading apparatus is raised, is then introduced into the pallet into a position at a distance above the supporting base and, when the intended position is reached, is deposited on the supporting base by the execution of a vertical setting-down movement. Immediately after the supporting base has been occupied by one or more tube bundles, the pressing together over the surface is carried out individually for this supporting base. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A connector (10) is provided for joining two upstream exhaust pipes (22,24) with a downstream exhaust pipe (28) and for substantially offsetting any difference in length that may exist in the upstream exhaust pipes. The connector includes first (32) and second (34) external shells that are secured on opposite respective sides of an internal divider plate (36). The external shells (32,34) and internal plates (36) cooperate to define unequal travel lengths within the connector to offset the unequal travel lengths of the upstream exhaust pipes (22,24) leading to the connector. The two separate exhaust flows with travel lengths equalized by the connector converge with one another into a chamber (40) defined by the connector, and exit from the connector through an outlet. Expansion of the converging exhaust gas streams into the chamber contributes to acoustical tuning of the exhaust system. The equal lengths of the respective exhaust gas streams also facilitates acoustical tuning performed by a downstream muffler.

Abstract: A device for encoding a video signal comprises a picture transformer (22), a quantizer (23) and a variable-length encoder (24), as well as distribution means (6) for distributing a global target value (T) for the number of bits per picture or group of pictures in local target values (T n ) for separate macroblocks of each picture. The device is provided with proportionally integrating control means (7). These means control the quantization step size (Q₁) in such a way that the buffer contents (b) of an output buffer (4) are in conformity with the target value. Since the PI control circuit does not introduce any residual errors, the desired number of bits per picture or group of pictures is achieved within narrow limits. The output signal is eminently suitable for recording and subsequent editing.

Abstract: A technique for reducing nonlinear signal degradation and fading over optical transmission systems by simultaneously launching two optical signals of different wavelengths and substantially orthogonal relative polarizations, into the same transmission path. The launched signals, which are collected at the receiving end of the transmission path, have equal optical power levels, and are modulated to carry identical information. Since the two signals are launched into the transmission path with substantially orthogonal polarizations and comparable power levels, the overall transmitted signal is essentially unpolarized. As a result, the impact of any detrimental polarization dependent effects within the transmission system are minimized. In addition, since the launched signals are combined at the receiving end of the transmission path, the power level of each individual signal can be reduced, thereby diminishing the impact of those nonlinear effects which increase as a function of power level.

Abstract: Compositions et méthodes empêchant l'accumulation de protéines et la réduction de formation de dépôts de lisozyme sur les faces externes des verres de contact hydrophiles ainsi que dans le réticulé constituant leur masse. Une méthode consiste à exposer les verres de contact à un agent chimique choisi parmi le groupe constitué par les protamines, la polyarginine, la polylysine, le chitosane et des combinaisons de ces substances. Une autre méthode consiste a placer les lentilles dans une solution hypotonique pendant un laps de temps suffisant pour que ces lentilles gonflent et que les pores du réticulé se dilatent. Un agent chimique chargé négativement, choisi parmi le groupe constitué par des sels de chlorure, des sels de chlorate, des sels de sodium d'acides éthylènediaminetétraacétique, la cystéine et des combinaisons de ces substances, est ensuite ajouté à la solution de sorte que la pression osmotique de la solution entraîne le retour de la lentille et de ces pores à leur dimension normale. L'agent chimique est également présent sous une dose suffisante pour entraîner la désorption des dépôts de protéine de la surface et du réticulé de la lentille. La lentille est ensuite détrempée pendant un certain temps dans la solution contenant l'agent chimique afin de réduire et/ou d'empêcher la formation de dépôts protéiques sur et à l'intérieur de la lentille. Une autre méthode prévue par cette invention consiste à exposer la lentille de contact à un agent chimique à charge négative et à poids moléculaire élevé choisi parmi le groupe constitué par exemple, par l'acide alginique, la gomme de xanthane et des combinaisons de ces substances.

Abstract: Cartes de la durée de vie en profondeur de porteurs minoritaires, obtenues à l'aide de techniques de mesure de la décroissance de photoconduction par détection hyperfréquence, sur un spécimen Si non oxydé présentant l'une ou l'autre polarité. La passivation superficielle du spécimen s'effectue par voie chimique, de préférence au moyen d'une solution d'iode dans l'éthanol à une concentration comprise entre 0,02 et 0,2 mol.dm-3 environ. Dans le cas des spécimens de type n, une solution d'alcali concentré tel que l'ammoniaque, l'hydroxyde de sodium ou l'hydroxyde de potassium est tout particulièrement efficace. Pour les spécimens des deux types, une solution de fluorure d'hyrogène à environ 40 % m/m est également efficace. Ladite passivation superficielle diminue les vitesses de recombinaison superficielle jusqu'à une valeur égale ou inférieure à 10 cm par seconde. On place le spécimen à mesurer dans un récipient contenant une solution de passivation de telle manière que les surfaces du spécimen soient recouvertes d'une couche de solution d'épaisseur égale ou inférieure à 1 mm. Le récipient est de préférence transparent à l'énergie hyperfréquence et laser, et la passivation et la mesure peuvent se dérouler en même temps. On a mis au point un procédé et un appareil.

Abstract: Un système de communication permet d'établir directement un appel émanant d'un appelant à l'intention d'un appelé, indépendamment de l'endroit où se trouve l'appelé dans un système téléphonique cellulaire. Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, un signal d'appel est dirigé vers un central téléphonique qui génère une information de communication utilisée pour établir la connexion entre l'appelant et l'appelé. Le central comprend un commutateur permettant de recevoir le signal d'appel au niveau d'un premier port. Le central comprend également un contrôleur de commutateur communiquant avec ce dernier et connecté, par l'intermédiaire de ce dernier, avec le signal d'appel. Le contrôleur de commutateur obtient de l'appelant un identificateur d'appelé. Il génère un signal de demande d'appel qui comprend l'information de commutation et l'identificateur d'appelé. Ce contrôleur fait transmettre, par un émetteur de commutation, un signal de demande d'appel à l'appelé, et, lorsque celui-ci répond par un signal d'acceptation d'appel, au niveau d'un second port, le contrôleur connecte le second port au premier, ce qui établit l'appel.
