Patent EP-1470460-A2 (EP)
Title: Improvement to a method for controlling an autonomous mobile robot et related device
Inventor: COLENS ANDRE
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: The invention concerns a navigation device for a mobile robot comprising means for measuring the amplitude and the phase of an electromagnetic signal emitted by a wire acting as limit for a working area of the robot. The measuring means samples the amplitude of the signal during each time interval, the result of each measurement is stored in a memory and the measurements are repeated for several time intervals, the collected results being added in said memories until the content of a memory reaches a reference threshold. The number of samples required and the content of each memory is interpreted by numerical analysis to determine the distance or distance variation relative to said limiting elements. Any phase change corresponding to a passage beyond the limiting wire is easily detected and results for example in a command returning the robot to its working area.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une fibre à compensation de dispersion (DC) et une ligne de transmission contenant une telle fibre. La fibre à compensation de dispersion présente un profil d'indice de réfraction comprenant un noyau central dont la valeur delta (?1) est supérieure à 1,5%; une cavité entourant le noyau central dont la valeur delta (?2) est inférieure à -0,65%; et un anneau entourant la cavité, lequel présente une valeur delta positive (?3). Le profil d'indice de réfraction de la fibre à compensation de dispersion est choisi de manière à permettre une dispersion totale inférieure à -87 et supérieure -167 ps/nm/km; une pente de dispersion négative inférieure à -0,30 ps/nm2/km; et un kappa supérieur à 151 et inférieur à 244 nm, le tout à 1550 nm. Lorsqu'elle est utilisée dans des lignes de transmission, la fibre à compensation de dispersion peut permettre d'obtenir des dispersions résiduelles moyennes peu élevées à travers les bandes C, L, C+L et S, lorsque ces lignes contiennent des fibres de transmission dont la dispersion totale est comprise entre 4 et 10 ps/nm/km, et les pentes de dispersion positive sont inférieures à 0,045 ps/nm2/km à 1550 nm. Cette invention concerne également des procédés englobant le pompage Raman.

Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de manipulation de gouttelettes. Cet appareil est conçu avec une électrode à une seule face dans laquelle tous les éléments conducteurs se trouvent sur la face sur laquelle les gouttelettes sont manipulées. Il est possible de disposer d'une surface supplémentaire, parallèle à la première surface, dans le but de contenir les gouttelettes à manipuler. Les gouttelettes sont manipulées grâce à des techniques à base d'électromouillage dans lesquelles les électrodes contenues ou intégrées dans la première surface sont activées et désactivées séquentiellement par commande. L'appareil permet une certain nombre de processus de manipulations de gouttelettes, y compris la fusion et le mélange de deux gouttelettes ensemble, la division d'une gouttelette en deux ou plusieurs gouttelettes, l'échantillonnage d'un écoulement continu de liquide par formation, à partir de l'écoulement, de gouttelettes que l'on peut commander individuellement, et un mélange binaire itératif ou numérique de gouttelettes afin d'obtenir un rapport de mélange recherché.

Abstract: Subject 
     A solid fuel burner and its combustion method suited for
encouraging fuel ignition and avoiding slugging caused by combustion
ash, wherein a gas of low oxygen concentration (exhaust combustion gas)
is used as a carrier gas of such a low grade solid fuel as brown coal. 
     Means for Solving the Subject 
     An additional air nozzle (12) for jetting additional air having a
velocity component in the circumferential direction of a fuel nozzle (11) is
provided in the fuel nozzle (11), thereby encouraging mixing between the
fuel and air in the fuel nozzle (11). Further, the amount of air supplied
from the additional air nozzle (12) is adjusted in response to the difference
in combustion loads. Under light load, the amount of air supplied from
the additional air nozzle (12) is increased so as to increase the oxygen
concentration of the circulating flow (19) formed downstream of the
outside of the outlet of the fuel nozzle (11), whereby stable combustion is
ensured. Under heavy load, by contrast, the amount of air supplied from
the additional air nozzle (12) is decreased, and a flame is formed away
from the fuel nozzle (11) in such a way that burner structures and furnace
wall will be less subjected to radiant heat.

Abstract: Quality of machine translation of natural language is determined by
computing a sequence kernel that provides a measure of similarity between a first
sequence of symbols representing a machine translation in a target natural language and
a second sequence of symbols representing a reference translation in the target
natural 1 anguage. T he measure of similarity takes into account the existence of non-contiguous
subsequences shared by the first sequence of symbols and the second
sequence of symbols. When the similarity measure does not meet an acceptable
threshold level, the translation model of the machine translator may be adjusted to
improve subsequent translations performed by the machine translator.
