Patent EP-0998650-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LACAZE PIERRE
IPC: F24H1/10
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for producing hot water comprising at least a burner (13) arranged to produce a rapid combustion inside the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is formed by a sealed container (14) delimiting an internal volume separated from the water so as to allow a dry combustion. Said container (14) is immersed in a water section (12) and is extended by at least a smoke gas diffuser (15) diffusing the smoke gases above the water section within a mass of water showered by spraying means (10). A layer of nodules (11) can be interposed on the path of the smoke gases and the sprayed water so as to increase the thermal exchange generated, by direct contact between the smoke gases and the water spray, and by conduction between the container (14) and the water section (12). The invention enables to achieve excellent thermal efficiency levels while producing smoke gases with a reduced CO ratio.

IPC: B65G11/12
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: The invention concerns a vibrating conveyor having a circular or helical conveying conduit driven with a vibrating motion by means of an electromagnet with alternating voltage. The conveying conduit emerges, at its end, into an overflow chute produced in the form of a channel switching system (6). The invention is characterised in that an overflow channel (15) is provided oscillating with a reciprocating motion about a pivoting shaft (16). Mechanical and electrical control means (18, 23, 30) are also provided, whereby the overflow channel (15) can be brought, by programmed control, into variable oscillating positions. The overflow channel (15) consists of a U-shaped section, pressing radially on a sliding surface (10) forming a circular zone and fixed on a pivoting shaft (16) mounted on said sliding surface (10). Said section is driven by a reciprocating motion in the peripheral direction of the circular zone, about said pivoting shaft (16). Through the pivoting shaft (16), the section is rigidly connected to a guide rail open downwards (17), arranged beneath the sliding surface (10) and extending parallel thereto. In this rail is housed a cam (21) set on a control disk (18) arranged parallel to the sliding surface (10), such that when the disk is driven in rotation by the electric motor, the cam (21) causes the guide rail (17) to oscillate with a reciprocating motion, and hence the overflow channel (15) above the sliding surface (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a power amplifier (400) and to a method of amplifying in the power amplifier (400) a first composite radio signal (RF41) that includes at least two modulated carrier waves. The first radio signal (RF41) is divided into two radio signals (RF42, RF43), which are amplified in a first and a second non-linear amplifier (405, 406). Intermodulation products arise in the amplification of said radio signals in respective amplifiers (405, 406). A compensation signal (RF45) is generated from the output signal (RF46) of the second amplifier (406), and the modulated carrier waves are suppressed selectively, e.g. by filtering out the carrier waves in band-stop filters (408-409). An output signal (RF47) from the power amplifier (400) is generated by reverse phase addition of the compensation signal (RF45) to the output signal (RF44) from the first amplifier (405).

Abstract: Un microcontrôleur comprenant un processeur pipeline (201) dans le sens du courant donne un temps d'exécution prévisible pour un jeu d'instructions (141), notamment des instructions de branchement. Le microcontrôleur, qui possède un registre d'adresses d'instructions, une pile de branchement et des étages pipeline (IF), (OF), (EX) pouvant être chargés en un seul cycle, n'autorise que l'étage d'exécution (EX) du pipeline à modifier l'état de l'unité centrale. Ainsi, les instructions figurant dans les étages (IF), (OF) précédant l'étage d'exécution (EX) peuvent être annulées, et les registres nécessaires peuvent être mis à jour lors du premier cycle, dès la détermination d'une instruction de branchement. Lors des cycles suivants, les instructions de la routine de branchement passeront à travers le pipeline, au rythme d'un étage par cycle. On obtient, par conséquent, un temps de réponse fixe pour une instruction de branchement. On obtient également un temps de réponse fixe pour une interruption, et un calendrier des interruptions que l'on peut choisir pour l'exécution d'instructions prévisibles dans le cadre d'une opération multitâche.

IPC: B26D3/26
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: The invention has utility generally for monitoring any part for severance of the part. The invention is specifically useful for monitoring severance of a tension blade in a tension blade grid. For general monitoring of a part, the apparatus has wireless connection between the sensing unit and the control unit. The wireless connection is achieved with a transmit/receive unit using radiofrequency power transfer for electrical power and using infrared transmitters and receivers for signal transfer. For food processing, specifically for a vegetable cutting method employing at least one tension blade in a first tension blade grid through which vegetables are passed for cutting the vegetables wherein the at least one tension blade is severed during the cutting, the invention provides for diverting the vegetables to a second tension blade grid. Diversion is accomplished with an acoustic emission sensor acoustically coupled to the at least one tension blade so that during the vegetable cutting, the acoustic emission sensor detects acoustic energy from tension blade severance. The acoustic energy is converted to an electronic signal that is compared in a microprocessor to a threshold. In a severance condition, an actuator receives an alarm signal from the microprocessor and diverts the vegetables to the second tension blade grid.

Abstract: A switched-capacitor circuit (35), and analog-to-digital
converter (50) incorporating the same, is disclosed. The
disclosed switched-capacitor circuit (35) receives differential
input signal voltages (V in   + , V in   - ) and differential reference
voltages (V refp , V refn ), based upon which differential output
voltages (V out   + , V out   - ) are generated by way of sample-and-hold,
and amplify, operations. In a larger context, such as in a
pipelined ADC (50), multiple switched-capacitor circuits (35)
are implemented, each receiving the differential reference
voltages (V refp , V refn ) from a voltage reference circuit (20). In
addition to the sample clock ( 1 ) and amplify clock ( 2 ), a
precharge clock ( 2 ') is provided to the switched-capacitor
circuit (35) to connect the sample nodes (V A , V B ) of the
switched-capacitor circuit (35) to a midlevel voltage (V mid ),
prior to the active phase of a reference clock ( 2 '') connecting
the sample nodes (V A , V B ) to the reference voltages (V refp , V refn ).
As a result, the loading presented by the switched capacitor
circuits (35) to the voltage reference circuit (20) is greatly
reduced.
