Abstract: A pressure exchanger for transferring pressure energy from one third flow to a second where two end covers (13, 14), a rotor (11) and a rotor liner (12) are mounted together via a centre bolt (10) in a pressure housing (1) in order to reduce elastic deformation, essentially tensile stress, and to protect the pressure exchanger against impact or shock. One end cover (13) is arranged for inlet of fluid at high pressure and outlet of the same fluid depressurized in a corresponding end cover (14) via a central course in the rotor. The second end cover (14) has in addition an inlet for fluid at low pressure and an outlet for the same fluid under high pressure. A base (2) which is attached with lease pins at the bottom of the pressure housing (1) has external connections (3, 4) and internal passages, which are connect with the inlet (24) of fluid at low pressure together with the outlet (23) for depressurized fluid in the and cover (14). A sealing ring (28) prevents the mixing of in and outgoing fluid at high pressure which is passed through the pressure housing's wall via external pipe couplings (5, 7). The pressure housing (1) has a top cover (8) which is attached via a multi-sectional locking ring (18) inserted in an internal groove in the pressure housing by means of the locking cover (20).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for preventing a solenoid (18)
from being heated by an exciting current. When a hydraulic
cylinder (12) is permitted to extend and retract, a controller
(26) commands a high-side driver (32) to send a moving current
to the solenoid (18) such that a valve body of an
electromagnetic valve (16) is moved to a connection position.
Subsequently, the controller (26) commands the high side driver
(32) to send a maintaining current to the solenoid (18) such
that the valve body (160) is maintained at the connection
position. The moving current and the maintaining current are
pulse waves. The duty ratio of the maintaining current is
smaller than that of the moving current.

Abstract: A device for after-use protection of a hypodermic needle, particularly of
the butterfly type, comprising an elongated flat laminar element (2) having,
at one end and on two sides, two laminas (3a, 3b) which are mutually spaced

the butterfly wings (a1, a2) of the needle (A). The blind lateral flat guides
(4a, 4b) are slightly curved away from the surface of the element (2) and are
adapted, when the needle (A) retracts, to press its point so that it slides
against the surface of the central band (5) of the element (2) in order to
wedge into spaces that lie between raised saw-toothed teeth (6a, 6b) on the
band (5) in order to prevent the escape of the needle (A).

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a smart card user (54) at a reader
device (64) makes use of an application (58) on a smart card microprocessor (60) on which
information fields (56) relating to biometric information for the user and a table of predefined
probability of occurrence values for user authentication is stored. The
smart card (62) and a biometric sample for the user is presented to the reader device (64),
and an application associated with the reader device automatically authenticates
the user base on a match level between the stored biometric information and the
presented biometric sample according to a desired probability of occurrence value
from the stored table. Alternatively, the user (54) is automatically authenticated by an
application (58) on the smart card microprocessor (60). The reader device reads the
presented biometric sample, automatically presents what is read to the smart card
application, and the smart card application then authenticates the user according
to the threshold match score from the stored table that corresponds to the desired
probability of occurrence value.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un agent édulcorant destiné à divers aliments/boissons instantanés. La composition de cet agent est la suivante: 1) entre environ 90 % et environ 99,5 % de sucrose, fructose, lactose, glucose et tout mélange desdits sucres; 2) entre environ 0,001 % et environ 5 % d'aspartame; et 3) entre environ 0,001 % et environ 5 % d'acésulfame K. L'agent édulcorant selon la présente invention convient aussi bien pour des préparations médicamenteuses que pour des denrées alimentaires et des boissons. Il est idéal pour les compositions alimentaires qui renferment classiquement des matières solides en proportion élevée (plus de 12 % généralement). L'agent édulcorant peut s'utiliser dans des boissons en poudre ou prêtes à l'emploi (cafés et thés aromatisés ou non, chocolat chaud, boissons à base de jus), boissons nutritives sous forme de boissons frappées, de malts et analogues (par exemple Ensure®); puddings; sauces, jus de viande; sauces à salade; mousses; crèmes glacées; yogourts; fromages à la crème; sauces au fromage (dips) pour amuse-gueule et fromage à tartiner; crème aigre; sauces pour fondues de légumes ou pâtés végétaux; glaçages; nappages fouettés; préparation surgelées; lait, colorant à café; sauces de type 'dip' et produits à tartiner. Le mélange de sucre (sucrose, fructose, lactose, glucose et tout mélange desdits sucres) et d'édulcorants (aspartame et acésulfame K) permet de réduire le pourcentage de denrées solides (quantité de poudre) nécessaire pour confectionner de multiples denrées alimentaires et boissons (telles que boissons sans alcool, entremets à la gélatine, desserts surgelés et analogues). Ce mélange accentue davantage la saveur sucrée que ne le ferait la simple adjonction de ces trois produits. L'agent édulcorant selon la présente invention a également pour effet de rehausser la saveur et la richesse de goût des boissons ou des mets préparés; alors que les autres édulcorants font office d'exhausteurs de goût. De plus, l'agent édulcorant selon l'invention ne laisse pas l'arrière goût caractéristique associé aux autres édulcorants et dont l'amertume est généralement attribuée à l'aspartame.
