Title: Method and device for converting a physical quantity measured by a measuring apparatus
Inventor: BENETEAU LIONEL

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for converting a physical quantity (Qi) measured by a measuring apparatus, into pulses representing each an elementary quantity P. The method comprises the following steps: measuring the physical quantity (Qi) at a sampling frequency (fe); calculating and coding over a number (r) of bits, an integer (ni) corresponding to the physical quantity(Qi); adding (mi) times the integer (ni) to itself at an adding frequency (f), using adding means whereof the storage capacity is limited to t = 2<r>, (mi) corresponding to the number of additions to be performed to exceed the storage capacity (t) of the adding means for a given value of (ni); when the storage capacity of the adding means is exceeded, generating an electric pulse and a fraction error (xi) when the ratio Qi/P is not equal to an integer, such that xi = (mi x ni)/t; transferring the fragmentation error (xi) to an input of the adding means to add it to the integer (ni) if no new physical quantity has been measured, or to a new ni+1 representing a new measured physical quantity Qi+1 if a new physical quantity has been measured; and repeating the step generating an electric pulse and a fraction error in the adding means output, and the step of transferring the fraction error to the input of the adding means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and in particular to an electrical connector providing a means for establishing an automatic grounded termination point for the connector upon disconnection of the connector from an external signal source or receiving device. In the absence of an external electrical connection, the connector will be configured to establishing an automatic grounded termination point to eliminate the effects of stray capacitances, spurious extraneous signals and signal reflections on the circuitry connected to conductor. When coupled to an external connector, the connector ground connection will be broken to permit establishing a signal path for external circuitry. Also, a capacitive material can optionally be placed in series with the grounding resistive element assembly to block direct current to the resistive element in its grounded state that would otherwise overheat and damage the electrical resistor material.

The inside diameter of the cavity in the plunger is sufficient to accept telescopically at least a part of a first portion (26) of the plunger. A second portion (32) and the first portion are joined at an attachment (38) to form a shoulder (40) extending outwardly from the first portion, with the plunger being telescopically collapsible by movement of the second portion into the cavity by of sufficient distal force to frangibly disrupt the attachment. The syringe includes an elongate sleeve (42) sized to fit over the first portion of the plunger and extend from the shoulder. The plunger includes a stopper (44) to a form fluid tight seal with the barrel. The sleeve has a cutting surface (46) inside of the stopper. The syringe includes a hub (50) with a proximal flange (52) and a passageway (54) within the receiver. The syringe has a needle with a pointed distal end mounted in the passageway of the hub extending distally outwardly. When sufficient distal force is applied to collapse the plunger, the cutting surface of the sleeve cuts through the stopper and through the flange of the hub and releases it from the receiver to retract the needle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention describes a method of continuously controlling and tracking a position of a welding torch ( 10 ) and welding head relative to a weld seam to be produced on a workpiece ( 16 ), whereby the welding torch ( 10 ), spaced at a distance apart from a workpiece ( 16 ) and the weld seam, effects a pendulum motion which is superimposed on its linear welding motion, during which state variables, in particular an ohmic resistance or a current and/or a voltage, are detected as they change in time. The lateral deviation of the welding torch ( 10 ) from the weld seam, in particular from the welding line centre, and/or the height of the welding torch ( 10 ) above the workpiece ( 16 ) and the welding head are derived from the detected actual values and signals in order to control and track the position of the welding torch ( 10 ). Depending on periodically occurring process phases of a welding process, the measurement value detection routine for at least one measurement signal, in particular to detect the state variable, is run at fixed instants and/or states of the periodically recurring process phases of the welding process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular rivet connection between at least one first ( 1 ) and one second metal sheet ( 2 ). According to the invention, the tubular rivet ( 3 ) is made from the metal of the first metal sheet ( 1 ) by deforming, in a drawing direction (Z), the edge area of a first hole ( 4 ) located in the first metal sheet ( 1 ) into a second, larger hole ( 5 ) located in the second metal sheet ( 2 ), whereby the second hole ( 5 ) located in the second metal sheet ( 2 ) is, in particular, gradually enlarged with regard to its diameter in the drawing direction (Z). The invention provides that the tubular rivet ( 3 ) is shorter in length in the drawing direction (Z) than the thickness of the second metal sheet ( 2 ). To this end, the thickness tolerance of commercially available metal sheets is taken into account and damages to the tools and/or the formation of chips is/are prevented. With regard to the method for producing such a tubular rivet connection, the invention provides that the second metal sheet ( 2 ) is supported by a matrix, which has a diameter approximately corresponding to the diameter of the hole ( 5 ) in the second metal sheet ( 2 ).
