  • Publication number: 20110217789
    Abstract: A method for analyzing molecular pollutants of a fluid. From a calibrated flow of fluid, a combination of a measurement of a total amount of molecular pollutants and a determination of chemical compositions and relative amounts of the molecular pollutants by adsorption on materials is carried out. The determination of the chemical compositions and relative amounts advantageously occur after a threshold value for the total measured amount is exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20110215761
    Abstract: The method for determining the state of charge of a battery includes measurement of an electric parameter of the battery during a charging or discharging phase of the battery followed by placing the battery in open circuit during a rest period. During the rest period, at least two values of the voltage at the battery terminals are measured. An indicator is then calculated according to the electric parameter and to values of the voltage measured during the rest period, and the state of charge corresponding to this indicator is then determined by means of a calibration curve representative of the variations of the indicator as a function of the state of charge of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20110219416
    Abstract: Effects of a network delay in handling messages in time-shifting media information streams are eliminated by either the network side's providing a media stream start time to the client side, which uses the media start time to compute a correct time offset for restarting the media stream after a pause, or by the client side's providing the time of a pause request to the network side, which uses the pause request time to compute the correct time offset and provides the offset to the client side.

  • Publication number: 20110214689
    Abstract: Disclosed are cleaning solvents and cleaning methods for metallic compounds deposited on the equipment that supplies organometallic compounds to the manufacturing tool in the photovoltaic industry or the semiconductor industry. The cleaning solvents and the cleaning methods disclosed not only selectively remove the metallic compound without corroding the equipment, but also improve the ordinary cleaning process. Moreover, the cleaning solvents and the cleaning methods disclosed improve maintenance costs for the supply system because the equipment may be cleaned without being detached from the supply system.

  • Publication number: 20110215801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetoresistive sensor comprising a first pinned-magnetization magnetic layer (410), called pinned layer, and a free-magnetization magnetic layer (430), called sensitive layer, of which the magnetization, in the absence of an external field, is substantially orthogonal to the magnetization of the pinned layer, said pinned and sensitive layers being separated by a first separating layer (420) for magnetic uncoupling. The sensor further comprises a layer (440), called lateral coupling layer, located on the side of the sensitive layer opposite that of the separating layer, and serving to control the lateral spin transfer.

  • Patent number: 8013782
    Abstract: A method and arrangement for processing signals emitted by a plurality of apparent emitters that is detected by an Electronic Measures System/Direction Finder unit (ESM1). The ESM1 unit is adapted to identify a real emitter and at least one false emitter among said apparent emitters, based on the variance of emitter characterizing parameters for each apparent emitter. When false and real emitters have been identified, this information may be used to suppress clutter from false emitters, and/or to determine the position of the real emitter using observations from only one ESM/DF unit.

  • Patent number: 8011244
    Abstract: A microsystem, and more particularly a microgyrometer, includes at least two mechanically coupled oscillating masses. The microsystem is achieved in a flat substrate. The oscillating masses are connected to the substrate by suspension springs. The oscillating masses are coupled together by a rigid coupling bar so as to produce an anti-phase movement of the oscillating masses when driven by an excitation device in a predefined excitation direction. The coupling bar is connected to intermediate zones of the corresponding suspension springs. The suspension springs are arranged on opposite sides of the oscillating masses. An intermediate zone is arranged between a first end of a suspension spring, which is fixed to the corresponding oscillating mass, and a second end of the suspension spring, which is fixed to the substrate by a corresponding anchoring point.
