Abstract: In order to injection-mould hot cross-linking resins,
a press (P) is provided, and has a worm-screw plasticizer
(100) and a nozzle (104) for the injection of the
preselected plastics material into a mould (9), the mould
(9) is arranged in a closure unit (101) with irreversible
mechanical closure, the mould (9) is closed by the unit
(101), and the resin is then injected into the mould (9),
the resin is kept at a cross-linking temperature, and the
mould (9) is opened after a predetermined cross-linking
time; the temperature of the plastics material to be
injected is kept at a level considerably below the cross-linking
temperature in the plasticizer (100) and is heated
to a temperature close to the cross-linking temperature as
it passes through the nozzle (104), adopting a fluid state
with low viscosity, in order to be injected into the mould

Abstract: A methodology ensures the efficient management of large amounts of
hierarchically organized information. The methodology encompasses the
efficient copying and sharing of large amounts of hierarchically organized
information through an unsharing operation (Figure 1). The efficient
comparison of two or more hierarchies of items of files and directories is
provided as well by adding the root directories of hierarchies to be compared
to a difference list, merging and then eliminating appropriate items in the
difference list, and finally expansively recursing upon items left in the
difference list. The efficiency of virtually copied, hierarchically organized
information is maintained by resharing (Figure 1) appropriate items of the
hierarchy when appropriate. Finally, the methodology allows a target version
of a hierarchy to be automatically updated by default action with changes
made in a source version of the hierarchy as a function of identifying the
common ancestor revision of a particular item change (14).

response thereto to control a switching circuit to selectively close the electrical
loop to so as to allow the electrical power to be supplied from external power
source to the electrical appliance. Visual and vocal output devices may be
provided and controlled by the microprocessor to indicate the operation and
status of the adapter. The microprocessor may be programmed to perform a
learning mode which allows the user to input his or her voice as the reference
instruction stored in the memory. If desired, more than one set of socket may

Abstract: A data transmission cable consists of at least one electrical conductor (12, 14) surrounded by a screen to protect from high frequency electromagnetic interference. The screen consists of an inner strip (16) with a layer (22) of a conducting material, and an outer strip (18) with a conducting layer (32) covered by an insulating layer (30). The conducting layer of the outer strip (18) faces inwards, so that the conducting layers of the two strips are applied against one another, and at least one of the two strips has overlapping edges. The insulating layer of the outer strip is stuck to the inner surface of the cable's outer sleeve (42). The adhesion is carried out during extrusion of the outer sleeve, when the polyester insulating layer of the outer strip is softened sufficiently for it to adhere to the inner surface of the sleeve. Also claimed is a method of manufacturing the cable. The cable is efficient at very high frequencies, typically above 100 MHz, and is protected at up to at least 500 MHz.

Abstract: Disturbance detection is used to detect anomalies in the behaviour of the data
signal. The data signal may for example be a readout signal in an optical drive. An
upper and a lower envelope signal value for the data signal (4) are determined in a
determined time interval (Δ(m - 1)). During the following time interval (Δ(m)) a
difference value is computed by substracting from each other the values of the lower
(s7) from the upper (s6) envelope signals. A disturbance is detected in case the
difference value is smaller than a predetermined border value (5).

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés par ordinateur de traitement et de formation d'images de données sismiques par migration et DMO (courbure de pendage), ces procédés étant soumis à une évaluation quantitative. On effectue l'évaluation au moyen d'une procédure d'essai informatisée. On forme un ensemble de données d'impulsions contenant une seule trace 'vivante' et des amplitudes nulles pour les autres traces. Une fonction de vitesse sélectionnée est également générée. L'ensemble de données d'impulsion est alors traité par le procédé de traitement évalué. Des estimations de temps de déplacement vertical, d'amplitude et de phase pour chacun des épisodes de réponse d'impulsion sont alors générées. On compare les estimations ainsi obtenues aux valeurs exactes provenant d'un modèle au moyen d'une équation intégrale qui décrit précisément une migration ou une DMO. Les utilisateurs obtiennent ainsi des informations sur la manière dont les techniques de traitement peuvent traiter des données réelles.

Abstract: The present invention provides carbon fibre paper for use
as current collectors for a polymer electrolyte fuel
cell, where there is no fear of a short circuit with the
facing electrode occurring, and which is not damaged by
the application of pressure, has a comparatively low
resistance value and is also cheap. 
     Specifically, it relates to a carbon fibre paper for a
polymer electrolyte fuel cell which is characterized in
that it is a carbon fibre paper which is used in a
polymer electrolyte fuel cell in a state where short
carbon fibres are bound with a polymer material and,
taking the thickness as X mm, the thickness at the time
of 2.9 MPa applied pressure as Y mm and the length of the
short carbon fibre as W mm, at least 95% of the short
carbon fibres excluding those of length (Y + 0.1) mm or
less satisfy the relation W ≥ 5X. Taking the average
length as Z mm, it is also preferred that the relation Z
≥ 5X also be satisfied. Said carbon fibre paper has a
weight reduction of no more than 3% when a uniform
pressure of 2.9 MPa is applied for 2 minutes in the
thickness direction and then this pressure released, and
the short carbon fibre diameter D (µm), tensile strength
σ (MPa) and tensile modulus (E) satisfy the following
relation.
