Patent EP-1051613-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HORNUNG HEINZ
IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for testing sheet material, in particular bank notes, comprising a device for transporting the sheet material in a defined direction, at least one transducer pair with a transmitter which exposes the sheet material to soundwaves and a receiver which detects the sound fraction transmitted through the sheet material, transmitter and receiver being disposed obliquely to each other with respect to the transport plane.The inventive apparatus is characterized in that the soundwaves emitted by a transducer are passed into a transport channel in which the sheet material to be tested is moved during irradiation, the sound fraction reflected by the sheet material being limited in its propagation by the transport channel such that said sound fraction cannot reach the receiver during irradiation of the sheet material.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-12-06
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une méthode et à un système permettant de reconfigurer un système à plusieurs noeuds après un changement d'époque d'une manière permettant de réduire la surcharge système et l'indisponibilité du système survenues lors de la reconfiguration. On établit une mise en correspondance ressources/maître en utilisant la combinaison d'une fonction de hachage ressources/case et d'une fonction de hachage ressources/noeud. La fonction de hachage ressources/case n'est pas modifiée en réaction à un changement d'époque, par contre, la fonction de hachage ressources/noeud est modifiée en réaction à un changement d'époque. L'invention porte sur des techniques permettant d'adapter la fonction de hachage dynamique ressources/noeud à la suite d'un changement d'époque d'une manière qui équilibre la charge entre les nouveaux nombres de noeuds dans le système. Les changements apportés aux attributions case/noeud se font d'une manière qui réduise le nombre de ressources auxquelles il faut ré-attribuer un maître. Dans une réalisation, on n'attribue de nouveaux maîtres durant une reconfiguration initiale qu'aux ressources ayant perdu leurs maîtres lors d'un changement d'époque. On parvient ainsi à un équilibrage des charges en transférant des ressources après que le système est devenu disponible. Les anciens maîtres de ressources envoie des demandes aux nouveaux maîtres de ressources après qu'ils ont transféré les objets ressource maîtres en rapport avec les ressources demandées. Cette invention concerne, de surcroît, des techniques de transfert de ressources depuis un noeud d'une manière qui anticipe la cessation d'activité du noeud.

Inventor: BADER JOEL S
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating a representation of the extent of relatedness between at least two classes of cells. The invention also provides a method for generating a representation of the correlation between a first class of cells and a second class of cells. The correlation reflects a change in the nature and amount of nucleic acids present in the classes. In these methods, the cells in each class are chosen from among cells of a given cell type, cells from a given tissue, and cells from a given organ. The methods establish similarities or differences between the classes by defining a plurality of pairs of nucleotide subsequences, each pair consisting of a first subsequence and a second subsequence, and, in the nucleic acid of each class of cells, determining the presence of a fragment with the first subsequence at one end and the second subsequence at another end and having a length separated by the first and second subsequences, as well as a quantitation of the extent to which each fragment is present. The methods then determine the extent of relatedness reflecting the similarities or differences among the classes. The invention further provides display means displaying a representation of the extent of relatedness between the classes of cells, and displaying a representation of the correlation between the first class of cells and the second class of cells. Additionally, the invention provides a representation of the extent of relatedness between the classes of cells, and representation of the correlation between the first class of cells and the second class of cells.

Title: Mobile communicating instrument for initiating service.
Inventor: STERN EDITH
IPC: G08G1/0962
Filed: 2003-11-06
Abstract: The disclosed system and method for automated proximity determination and notification is useful to enable a customer or client of a business or other enterprise (e.g. a public library, a government facility, etc) to automatically obtain a predetermined service, on arrival at a destination associated with the business or enterprise, without having to communicate orally with representatives of the business/enterprise. A portable programmable wireless communication device is carried by users of such services. The device, termed a PLAD (pervasive location aware device), receives a program and proximity notification parameters associated with each destination to be visited, when service is reserved relative to the destination. Thereafter, as its user travels to the destinations, the PLAD is activated and uses the program information and parameters acquired in the reservation process to perform a proximity notification transmission characteristic of this invention as the device reaches a predetermined range of proximity to a destination. For that purpose, the PLAD calculates its distance to each currently valid destination at which a service is reserved, and sends a proximity notification signal to an address associated with a respective destination when its distance to the respective destination is less than a predetermined threshold radius limit acquired during the reservation process. Receiving equipment at the address uses the proximity notification signal to arrange for prompt execution of a reserved service when the user of the PLAD arrives at the respective destination. The PLAD also can be used in a reverse context-when its user is at a specific location and the service is being delivered to that location by a vehicle carrying another PLAD operated by or for a business/enterprise-to alert the user to the imminent arrival of that vehicle.
