Inventor: ASSKILDT KNUT
IPC: F16K31/00
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: Valve, for e.g. a pilot valve in an IP regulator, realised for example in a MEMS-structure, comprising a fluid inlet (3) and a fluid outlet (4) coupled by a fluid channel (2), all of which are defined by walls and structures (5) produced by micromachining of glass and or silicon. An actuator (1,8,9) can be set to at least two different positions in order to vary the flow cross section of the fluid channel (2). The geometries of the fluid inlet, outlet and channel are adapted for preventing the flow from changing its direction so sharply that a significant portion of contaminating droplets and or particles in the flow hit the walls of structures, as given in any arrangement according to or between the following two extremes:i) flow outlet is perpendicular to the flow inlet and the outlet dimension is larger than a critical dimension, Lcrit estimated according to a given formula and/or as simulated in a CFD-tool (Computational Fluid Dynamics), and ii) flow outlet and flow channel is generally parallel to flow inlet giving a substantially unidirectional flow pattern.

the F i,j (x',y') of the embedment position and g i,j  (S111),
adds the embedment value δ to the F i,j (x,y) or subtracts the
embedment value δ from the F i,j (x,y) to determine the number
theoretic transform blocks H i,j (x,y) of the embedded image
block (S113), calculates the inverse number theoretic
transform of the H i,j (x,y), determines the embedded image
blocks h i,j (x,y), stores them, and outputs them to an output

Abstract: To make it possible to reserve recording of a program
without imposing a large load on a user. A server 2-1 transmits
program attribute information to a video recording and
reproducing apparatus 11 via a network 1. The program attribute
information is constituted by program attribute names and
program attribute retrieval conditions. The video recording
and reproducing apparatus 11 causes a display apparatus 12 to
display a list of the program attribute names. The user selects
a program attribute name, to which a program that the user wishes
to reserve for recording seems to be most closely related, out
of this list. The video recording and reproducing apparatus
11 compares retrieval conditions corresponding to the selected
program attribute name and EPG information and, when the
retrieval conditions are satisfied, records a program
represented by the EPG in a recording reservation list. It
is possible to apply the invention to a hard disk video recorder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for suppressing the foaming of an aqueous system which involves combining water and at least one defoamer composition which has a hydroxyl equivalent molecular weight of at least 4000 DA and a cloud point less than or equal to 30°C in 1% aqueous solution. The high hydroxyl equivalent molecular weight defoamers of the present invention exhibit excellent defoaming properties at a low cloud point. Additionally, defoamers of the present invention exhibit defoaming properties which are better than those of defoamers having the same cloud point which are based on polyoxyalkylene copolymers prepared in the presence of potassium hydroxide. The superior defoaming properties of the defoamers of the present invention are particularly useful in the manufacture or processing of food items.

Le tube présente une forme initialement incurvée (2) et, avant application et durcissement de la substance, la fibre de carbone prend des formes arquées qui suivent la forme du tube. La fibre de carbone est destinée à assurer que la forme du tube n'est pas affectée et peut ainsi être retenue avec sa course souhaitée sans pliures ni coudes à petit rayon. La barre peut ainsi être placée de manière optimale dans la prothèse dentaire.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for counteracting the occlusion effect of an electronic device delivering an audio signal to the ear, like a hearing aid or and active ear protector, where the electronic device comprises a transmission path with an external microphone or input line which receives a signal from the environment and a signal processor and a receiver which receives processes signal from the signal from the signal processor and delivers sound signals to the ear, whereby an ear piece is inserted into the ear canal and totally or partially blocks the canal. According to the invention the sound conditions in the cavity between the ear piece and the tympanic membrane are directly or indirectly determined, and whenever conditions leading to occlusion problems are determined, the transmission characteristic of the transmission path to the receiver changes in order to counteract the occlusion effect.

Abstract: An enclosure apparatus provides for combined air and liquid cooling of rack mounted stacked electronic components. A heat exchanger is mounted on the side of the stacked electronics and air flows side to side within the enclosure, impelled by air-moving devices mounted behind the electronics. Auxiliary air-moving devices may be mounted within the enclosure to increase the air flow. In an alternative embodiment, air-to-liquid heat exchangers are provided across the front and back of the enclosure, and a closed air flow loop is created by a converging supply plenum, electronics drawers through which air is directed by air-moving devices, diverging return plenum, and a connecting duct in the bottom. In a variant of this embodiment, connecting ducts are in both top and bottom, and supply and return ducts are doubly convergent and doubly divergent, respectively. Auxiliary blowers may be added to increase total system air flow. The enclosure also may be provided with automatically opening vent panels to allow room air to circulate and cool in the event of an over-temperature condition. The design of the enclosure permits it to be constructed apart from the rack-mounted apparatus and subsequently attached to the rack, if desired, at the facility at which the rack had been previously operating.

filter (29). The exhaust gas cleaning system is configured and arranged to obtain an
adjusted equivalent surface area by adjusting the reference equivalent surface area based
