Abstract: A nuclear power plant which includes a closed loop power generation circuit making use of helium as the working fluid. The plant further includes a helium inventory control system which includes a plurality of helium storage tanks whereby helium can be fed into or removed from the power generation circuit. Each helium storage tank is provided with a heat sink so that the tank has a relatively high thermal inertia which in turn restricts the temperature variation within the storage tank as a result of the introduction of helium into and/or the withdrawal of helium from the storage tank. This permits the optimization of the design of the storage tanks.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving, inverting and returning sheets from and to a printer for large-sized paper, said printer being adapted to be automatically fed a web of paper from a supply of paper through an inlet ( 6 ), defined by a portion of a paper-supporting plate ( 7 ), where said printer further is adapted to print and cut sheets of said web of paper and to guide the printed sheet out thereof through a separate outlet ( 13 ), where the apparatus is adapted to receive the just printed and cut sheets from said outlet and to return said sheets to the printer in the inverted state. The apparatus comprises a rotatable first guide means ( 14 ), which in one position guides the sheet into the apparatus and in a second position guides said sheet past the apparatus. The apparatus comprises furthermore a first driving roller means ( 36 ) and a second guide means ( 21 ) pivotally arranged relative to said roller means, where the second guide means ( 21 ) in a first position guides the sheet advanced to the apparatus round the first roller means ( 36 ) during the initial movement of the sheet into the apparatus, and where said second guide means ( 21 ) in a second position presses said sheet into a driving engagement with the first driving roller means ( 36 ) in such a manner that said first driving roller means ( 36 ) takes over the driving of the sheet both during the remaining movement of said sheet inside the apparatus as well as during the movement of said sheet out of said apparatus again and into the printer through the inlet ( 7 ) of said printer while the direction of rotation is inverted. The apparatus comprises also a second driving roller means ( 46 ) adapted to engage the portion of the web of paper ( 60 ) being left on the paper-supporting plate ( 7 ) after the sheet has been cut off and to pull said portion temporarily backwards in such a manner towards the paper supply ( 61 ) while the sheet is being inverted that said sheet can be guided into the printer without colliding with the web of paper.

Abstract: To improve the performance of an inductive coupling system, the magnetic coupling between the primary (4) and secondary (8) windings is increased by adding auxiliary windings (26,28) on the primary (2) and/or secondary (6) yokes of the assembly near the air gap (18) between the yokes. Capacitors (30,32) are connected to the auxiliary windings (26, 28) which, together with the inductance of the auxiliary windings, resonate at the operating frequency of the primary AC voltage (Vp). The effect is an improved magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary windings (4, 8) without increasing the size of the magnetic assembly.

Abstract: The present invention embodiment comprises an arrangement of integrated circuits with a UART device that is configurable to operate in a power-reduced mode while the clock frequency of serial data communication remains constant. In one example embodiment, an arrangement of a plurality of integrated circuit devices includes a first integrated circuit device driven by a first clock signal at a first clock rate. The arrangement contains a parallel data bus coupled to communicate with the first integrated circuit device in response to the first clock signal. The arrangement also includes a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) chip with a serial communication circuit adapted to communicate serial data at a second rate defined by a second clock signal. The UART chip also encompasses a parallel bus interface circuit responsive to the first clock signal and adapted to pass data between the parallel data bus and the serial communication circuit. The UART chip also houses a data-storage-register circuit adapted to output status data to the parallel data bus, the status data being indicative of states of at least one of the serial communication circuit and the parallel bus interface circuit. The arrangement of integrated circuit devices further includes a clock control circuit adapted to reduce the first clock rate in response to a clock control signal. By reducing the first clock rate, the UART chip is configured to operate in a power-reduced mode while the serial communication circuit concurrently communicates serial data at the second rate.

Abstract: A ball-and-socket joint has a pivot pin accommodated rotatably and tiltably with a spherical joint area in a bearing shell. The bearing shell is in turn arranged in the recess of a joint housing. A closing ring fixes the bearing shell in the joint housing in the axial longitudinal direction of the pivot pin by at least one surface pair. Corresponding to a first solution variant, an intermediate element made of an elastic material may be arranged between the corresponding contact surfaces of the surface pair on the bearing shell and the closing ring. As an alternative an insert element may be arranged between the outer contour of the bearing shell and the bottom area of the recess, wherein at least one intermediate element made of an elastic material is arranged between the outer surface of the insert element and the corresponding inner surface of the recess. The requirement imposed on the dimensional accuracy of the ball-and-socket joint components can be substantially reduced due to these solution variants, which contributes to a reduction of the manufacturing costs.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à des systèmes, des procédés et des produits de programme informatique permettant le partitionnement d'un programme entier lorsque celui-ci ne s'ajuste pas à la mémoire d'un dispositif. Des partitions de programmes minimales et sécurisées sont téléchargées depuis le serveur sur demande dans le dispositif intégré immédiatement avant leur exécution. Le code et les données du programme sont segmentés de sorte qu'aucune information concernant le comportement de flux de commande ne soit sujette à une fuite. Ainsi, en observant les segments de programme qui sont téléchargés depuis le serveur vers le dispositif, un assaillant ne peut deviner quelles branches sont incluses dans le programme et quel est le flux de commande du programme. Cette caractéristique d'inviolabilité est un atout précieux pour des dispositifs intégrés sécurisés, tels que des cartes à puce, qui peuvent contenir une information sensible et/ou effectuer un traitement important tel que des transactions financières.
