Patent EP-0588731-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GILBERT JEROME
IPC: H04L12/407
Filed: 1993-09-17
Abstract: Each message (31) comprises an initial sending (41) and two repetitive sendings (51), all identical. The initial sending (41) starts after a period of silence (TSM) has been detected over the communication space. The period of silence (S1) between the sendings (41, 51) varies depending on the sending functional unit. Thus, if another message (32) starts a sending (42) at the same instant (t1) as the sending (41) of the first message (31), the collision which results therefrom concerns only the initial sending since, during the repetitive sending, the functional unit which has to detect the longest period of silence (S2) detects the activity resulting from the repetitive sending (51) from the other unit before being able to start its own repetitive sending (52). Hence, the message associated with the longest periods of silence is offset until the other message is finished. Use in order to manage collisions in a reliable and economical way, without waste of time and without centralisation means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This involves checking the fitting of a lens (10) to be ground, to a spectacles frame. According to the invention, this fit check is done on the grinding machine (11) itself, by mounting the lens (10) to be ground on its support spindle (15), bringing this lens (10) into contact with the grinding wheel (12) without this grinding wheel rotating at all, causing the support spindle (15) to rotate step by step until the lens (10) to be ground makes a complete revolution on itself and checking whether, during this revolution, the contact detector (17) associated with the template (jig) (16), is actuated by this lens. Application to grinding machines used for trimming the edges of a lens for spectacles. <IMAGE>

Piezoelectric ceramic powder such as lead titanate zirconate is sintered and added with a binder. The mixture is then formed into ultra-fine particles having rounded outer peripheral surfaces before subjected to sintering. Ultra-fine particles with rounded peripheral surfaces can be obtained by passing said mixture through a sieve and then by shaking. It is also possible to obtain the ultra-fine particles by obtaining a slurry of said mixture and injecting the same into a hot atmosphere.

Abstract: An apparatus for purifying waste water in a lake, pond, dam, river and the like by use of microorganisms carried on charcoal. A plurality of water collecting pipes (4) formed therein with a plurality of water holes (5) are provided on the bottom portion (1a) of the pond or the like covered thereover with non-water permeable members (2). Charcoal (12) carrying thereon microorganisms is spread all over the water collecting pipes (4) to thereby form a treatment layer (13). A gravel layer (15) is formed on the treatment layer (13). A storage tank (18) is provided, which has a pump (29) connected thereto with a reflux pipe (31) communicating with the upper portion of the pond (1). Water (1b) to be treated which is disposed on the bottom portion (1a) is collected through the treatment layer (13) from the water holes (5) by use of the pump (29), and discharged in the vicinity of the water surface through the water collecting pipes (4) and the reflux pipe (31). When duckweeds are generated in the vicinity of the water surface, the water (1b) to be treated in the upper portion of the water surface is discharged to the treatment layer (13) through the water holes (5) of the water collecting pipes (4) by use of the pump (29). When the water (1b) to be treated passes through the treatment layer (13), the duckweeds and the organic substances are decomposed by the microorganisms carried satisfactorily on inexpensive charcoal (12). A non-uniformity in concentration of the dissolved oxygen within the whole pond or the like is reduced, so that the purifying treatment can be effectively achieved.

Abstract: Dans le procédé de l'invention, on détermine une fraction (F) de masse inconnue du cryogène solide dans un système de réfrigération cryogénique emmagasinée. Le procédé consiste à ajouter la masse (T) d'une substance à l'état de trace soluble dans la phase liquide du système. On détermine la masse totale (M) du cryogène dans le système au moment où on le charge. On détermine la concentration de masse initiale (C) de la substance à l'état de trace en divisant (T) par (M). Lors du fonctionnement du système de réfrigération cryogénique emmagasinée, on extrait du système un petit échantillon du cryogène en phase liquide. On analyse l'échantillon pour déterminer la nouvelle concentration (CN) de la substance à l'état de trace dans l'échantillon. La nouvelle concentration (CN) de l'échantillon dépend de la quantité de cryogène solide qui a été produite dans le système. Ensuite, on détermine la fraction de masse (F) du cryogène solide dans le système en résolvant l'équation: F = 1 - (CI/CN).

Abstract: In a method for carrying out a wirefree data exchange between a fixed station (3) and transmitting/receiving devices (2, 2') on board objects which move relative to the fixed station (3), preferably in lanes (4), in particular vehicles (1), with the aid of an antenna arrangement having a plurality of receiving antennas (5) whose receiving profiles can be directed electronically at an object, the transmitting/receiving devices (2, 2'), in response to a received signal, emitting a response signal which is at the same carrier frequency and whose level is proportional to the level of the received signal, a less selective setting of the receiving profile - and thus a reduction in the complexity associated therewith - is possible due to the fact that each receiving antenna (7) is assigned a transmitting antenna (6) and that the transmitting antenna (6) emits signals which have a transmitting profile corresponding to the receiving profile of the receiving antenna (7). The attenuation factors of transmitting profile and receiving profile are in this case multiplied together so that two relatively simple circuits are required in order to achieve the desired high sidelobe attenuation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to an operationally reliable two-compartment container designed to prevent unintended use before application. The invention comprises a one-piece container having two compartments assembled one upon another, which are interlinked by a transfer opening into which a stopper is mounted to keep the contents of the two compartments separate during storage. The stopper is linked by supporting devices to the lower end of a pouring spout which seals the upper part of the container with a covering cap. The pouring spout is connected as a one-piece unit to an elastic membrane, which is turned inside of the container when closed, and outside when the container is opened, by which the pouring spout extends with an encompassing sealing cap into the collar region of the upper part of the compartment, is linked by a screw thread. The sealing cap is fitted with a safeguard against rotation at its junction point to the upper compartment to prevent premature removal of the covering cap, prior to admixture of the contents of the two compartments. The sealing cap includes a serration on the inside of the rim encompassing the covering cap under the sealing cap, and at least one corresponding cross-bar at the covering cap.

The stylet can be an electrical conductor enclosed within a non-conductive layer, the electrical conductor being a radiofrequency electrode (38). Preferably, the non-conductive layer is a sleeve (60) which is axially moveable on the electrical conductor to expose a selected portion of the electrical conductor surface in the target tissue. The stylet can also be a microwave antenna (66). The stylet can also be a hollow tube for delivering treatment fluid to the target tissue. It can also include a fiber optic cable for laser treatment. The catheter can include one or more inflatable balloons (30,32) located adjacent to the stylet port for anchoring the catheter or dilation. Ultrasound transponders and temperature sensors can be attached to the probe end and/or stylet. The stylet guide can define a stylet path from an axial orientation in the catheter through a curved portion to a lateral orientation at the stylet port.
