Patent EP-0576276-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PATTINSON NEVILLE
IPC: F16K29/00
Filed: 1993-06-23
Abstract: A prepayment water supply system comprises a token, typically in the form of a key, having a memory. The system also comprises a supply control device or devices incorporating a receptacle for receiving the token and a circuit for reading the contents of the token memory. The circuit controls the water supply by means of an electrically-operated valve in dependence on the contents of the token memory. To prevent the valve becoming stuck in one state if it remains in that state for a prolonged period, eg more than seven days, the circuit periodically produces a pair of signals which respectively change the valve to the other state and almost immediately change it back to the one state. Additionally, such a pair of signals is also produced if water flow is detected when the valve is supposed to be closed.

Abstract: A secondary battery is comprised of a positive electrode, a negative electrode formed from a carbon composition intercalating lithium reversibly and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The non-aqueous electrolyte includes a lithium salt and a mixture of a low boiling point solvent having the boiling point of 150°C or lower and an organic solvent of vinylene carbonate or its derivative. The negative electrode may comprise a graphite, and the positive electrode may comprise a material being selected from a group consisting of metal chalcogen and metal oxide, such as V₂O₅, TiS₂, MoS₂, LiCoO₂, LiMnO₂, LiNiO₂, LiCrO₂, LiMn₂O₄ and LiFeO₂. The low boiling point solvent may be selected from a group consisting of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, 1,2-dimethoxy ethane, 1,2- diethoxy ethane and ethoxymethoxy ethane. The derivative may be provided by replacing at least one of two hydrogen atoms of the vinylene carbonate with one selected from a group consisting of a methyl group, an ethyl group and one halogen atom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of tracking, on the basis of images of deformable elements, and/or images with highly noisy contours. The method of the invention makes it possible easily to extract (1) from each image very fine closed contours of the objects, to perform recognition of these objects from one image to the other with the aid of the perimeter and of the centre of gravity of each contour (3, 4), and to deduce their speeds (5) therefrom. The invention is particularly beneficial for tracking meteorological disturbances, which are slowly-deformable objects which can be likened to non-deformable objects for processing. <IMAGE>

Inventor: MORIZOT RICHARD ALBERT PIERRE
IPC: B29C43/36
Filed: 1993-06-30
Abstract: In order to produce multilayer structures made of composite materials, by draping pre-cut elementary layers over a forming die (12), an installation is proposed comprising, in addition to the forming die (12), a gripping tool (16) capable of being mounted, for example, on the articulated arm of a robot. The forming die (12) comprises a flexible membrane (28), equipped with suction suckers (58) which grip the pre-cut elementary layers. A vacuum circuit (48) enables the membrane (28) to be pressed up against a counter-shape (26) placed behind the latter, in order to shape the elementary layer picked up. When the tool (16) is brought onto the die (12), a pressure source (52) acts on the membrane (28) in order to compact the elementary layer on the die. A suction system (76, 82) keeps this layer on the die, after releasing the suction via the suckers (58). <IMAGE>

Inventor: MAUMY JEAN DR
IPC: A61F2/28
Filed: 1993-08-30
Abstract: The element (20) according to the invention comprises a biodegradable body which is inserted, before or during implantation of an orthopaedic prosthesis (1), into a recess (2) in the prosthesis (1) in such a way that the rigidity of the prosthesis is increased. The element (20) brings about a mechanical connection between the shell segments (1a, 1b, 1c), so that the element (20) exerts a supporting function reducing the elastic properties and the mobility of the outer shell (1). The ability of the biodegradable element (20) to transmit forces is progressively reduced after the implantation, so that the outer shell (1) of the artificial acetabular cup has increasingly great elastic properties in accordance with the mechanical properties due to its design. After a specific period of time after implantation the biodegradable element (20) is degraded to such an extent that it can no longer transmit forces. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present method for bending metal sheets employs a bending device which has a die (10) and a bending punch (13) which penetrates into the die and is secured on a punch holder (12). To form seaming grooves, the portion of the sheet forming the outer wall of the groove is prebent with the aid of this bending device to form a pointed leading edge (8). The pointed leading edge (8) is then pressed flat, for which purpose a seam closer (20) inserted temporarily between the punch holder (12) and the die (10) of the bending device and having a hold-down device (24) is used. In this way, the seam closer can be operated largely independently of the bending device. In addition, working accuracy in the formation of the seaming groove is improved by the use of a seam closer having a hold-down device. <IMAGE>
