Abstract:
Le dispositif électronique est prévu pour la génération d'un avertissement sonore ou d'une musique. Il comprend une bobine ou inductance et un vibreur acoustique muni d'un condensateur relié en série avec la bobine. Lors de la mise en fonction du dispositif électronique, le vibreur acoustique génère l'avertissement sonore ou la musique. Le dispositif électronique comprend en outre dans une boucle de rétroaction, un circuit dérivateur relié à un noeud de connexion entre la bobine et le condensateur, pour dériver le signal provenant du condensateur, et un comparateur pour comparer un signal de dérivée du circuit dérivateur avec une tension de référence. Le comparateur fournit un signal de sortie à la bobine pour amplifier le signal sur le condensateur, afin que le vibreur génère au moins un avertissement sonore.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an impedance matching device comprising: a matching element array unit configured with a matching element array to which a transmission pulse and a received pulse pass, the transmission pulse being output from a system and the received pulse being the transmission pulse that is output to an outside and then reflected; an extraction/calculation unit extracting pulse information from the transmission pulse and the received pulse, calculating impedance values corresponding to the pulse information with respect to each of the transmission pulse and the received pulse, and calculating an impedance value having best response characteristics of the received pulse with respect to the transmission pulse as a matching impedance value; an array control unit routing the matching element array unit according to the matching impedance value; a first converter converting a frequency of the transmission pulse into a carrier frequency and outputting the transmission pulse having the carrier frequency to the matching element array unit; a second converter converting the carrier frequency output from the matching element array unit into a low frequency; and a converter control unit outputting a signal for controlling the frequency converting of the first converter and the second converter.

The invention concerns an ultrasonic shaping instrument comprising: a mount structure (10), a sonotrode (14) elastically mounted on the mount structure (10), a tool (16) fixed to the sonotrode (14) for carrying out shaping operations, and a control member (12) for controlling and powering the sonotrode (14). The instrument is dimensioned so that the assembly consisting of the sonotrode (14) and the tool (16) has a resonance ultrasonic frequency fo, in a mode selected among traction-compression and torsion, variable between a lower limit fomin and an upper limit fomax, and it does not have itself any other resonance frequency in a range between a frequency fpmin fomax.

The invention concerns a system for automatically setting a portable object (100) with a clock function. The invention also concerns a portable object (100) with a clock function capable of being automatically set, such as an electronic timepiece. The invention is characterised in that the portable object (100) comprises means for receiving (11) a time-setting sound signal (50) and means (12, 13) for obtaining from said time-setting sound signal (50) time-setting indications (ho, mo) to correct said time indication of the portable object (100). The inventive portable object can advantageously be set via a time-setting sound signal (50) emitted for example through a loudspeaker (202) of a personal computer (200), a television set, a radio set or a telephone handset.

Abstract:
Das insbesondere auch zur Erzeugung von Stoßwellen zur Beschallung von körperinneren Objekten geeignete Gerät ist mit piezokeramischen Wandlerelementen (1) als elektroakustische Wandler ausgestattet, die aus einer Hochspannungsquelle (9) mit Hochspannungsimpulsen angesteuert werden können, um in Abhängigkeit von der vorgegebenen Polarisierung der Wandlerelemente (1) und der Polarität der Hochspannungsimpulse Stoßwellen oder Schallimpulse durch gerichtete Deformationen und Längenänderungen der Wandlerelemente (1) zu erzeugen. Die vom Gerät abgegebene Schallenergie ist dann besonders hoch, wenn die Wandlerelemente (1) vor dem Eintreffen eines Hochspannungsimpulses (16) mit einer Vorspannung (14) beaufschlagt und vorgespannt werden, deren Polarität entgegengesetzt zur Polarität des Hochspannungsimpulses ist.
Abstract:
Significant throughput improvement is achieved for an input queued packet switch using output port schedulers by permitting the output schedulers to recycle or reassign cell transmission times from input ports which are unable to use them. When an output scheduler assigns a cell transmission time to an input port and that input port is unable to use the assigned transmission time due to a scheduling conflict, for example, the input port makes a new request for the same output port during the next subsequent request period and then returns the unusable transmission time assignment back to the output scheduler. The output scheduler stores the returned transmission time in a separate queue for assignment to later requests for the particular output port. Throughput performance is improved from 58% (without time slot recycling) to 92% (with time slot recycling) for random packet cell traffic models.
