Abstract: A mechanical lid or a plug (101) interacts with
an opening (1036) of a pouch or a container (103), as
well as with a rigid ring (102) placed inside the
container (103) opening to provide a tight seal of the
opening (1036). The mechanical plug (101) compresses
both the outside of the opening (1036) and the inner
face of the ring (102) placed inside the container
opening (1036). The radial edge of the inner face of
the mechanical plug (101) has an arch-shaped annular
recess (101a) extending around the plug (101) such
that the radial edge of the plug (101) is adapted to
hug the perimeter of the container opening (1036). In
addition, attached to the inner face of the mechanical
plug (101) are two or more legs (1011) which extend
perpendicular to the inner face of the mechanical plug
(101) and engage the bottom of the rigid ring/radial
groove combination. The outside surface of the neck
region of the container opening (1036) and the
interior surface of the annular recess of the
mechanical plug (101) each has one or more protrusions
(1013,1014,1015) which force the container material
displaced by compression to be confined within a
defined area, thereby ensuring the tightness of the
seal for a prolonged period of time. The lower
surface of the mechanical plug (101) is sloped
downward in the direction of the centre, to which a
plunger (1017) is attached for insertion into the
liquid content of the container before the mechanical
plug (101) is snapped into the container opening
(1036), thereby substantially eliminating the residual 
air bubbles which may otherwise remain trapped between
the surface of the liquid and the lower surface of the
mechanical plug (101), which allows airless filling of
the container without the need for a vacuum condition.

Abstract: Information data is transferred by TDMA in one
frame. A frame is formed of a control-data transfer time
region and an information-data transfer time region. In
the control-data transfer time region, polling is
performed for each terminal and a transfer rate and
whether transfer data exists are returned to a control
station as an ACK. The control station assigns a channel
to each terminal according to this information. A time
period for data transfer in the information-data transfer
time region is assigned to each terminal which has made a
transmission request. In the region, asynchronous data
and isochronous data can be transferred together. Since
data is transferred in the time period assigned in
advance in a frame, a constant transfer rate is obtained
without being affected by an increase or decrease of
traffic.

Abstract: A plural mode printing system utilizing a cut sheet
print engine for printing conventional cut sheet print
substrates, in which page print images are generated and
transferred to the cut sheets at an image transfer station.
This plural mode printing system selectively provides
printing onto either the cut sheets or onto an uncut
continuous web printing substrate, in the same cut sheet
print engine. An independently moveable continuous web
printing substrate supply module (50,70) is selectively
operatively docked with the cut sheet print engine (14).
That web printing module (50,70) has a web feeding and
image transfer assistance system for feeding the continuous
web uncut into the cut sheet printing engine for
transferring the page print images onto the web instead of
onto cut sheets when the print engine is operatively docked
with the web printing substrate module. The web printing
module does not itself need to print. Rather, it can feed
an extended loop of the continuous web into the cut sheet
print engine image transfer station. The web module may
provide either simplex printing or duplex printing onto
both sides of the web with a duplexing system for feeding
the web into the print engine or image transfer twice, with
web inversion in between. The web modules are also
preferably interchangeable with an optional cut sheet
supply module (30).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method
for randomizing a microprocessor system, such as an
IC card, in order to prevent the microprocessor
system from being tampered with. The method ensures
that the randomized microprocessor system realizes a
functionality equivalent to that of an original
microprocessor system and enables easy modification
of a configuration of the microprocessor system. In
the context of this disclosure, to randomize a
microprocessor system means to randomize a
microprocessor and a program included in the
microprocessor system while maintaining an
equivalence of functionality realized by the
microprocessor system regardless of this
randomization. According to the present invention,
the method for randomizing a microprocessor system
performing a given functionality consists in (a)
randomizing items stored in a memory in accordance
with randomizing information, and (b) randomizing a
microprocessor so as to allow the microprocessor to
have an access to the randomized items stored in the
memory. Thus, a randomized microprocessor system
performing a functionality equivalent to the given
functionality is generated.

Abstract: The input signal is transformed into the frequency domain
and then subdivided into bands corresponding to different frequency
ranges. Adaptive thresholds are applied to the data from each
frequency band separately. Thus the short-term band-limited energies
are tested for the presence or absence of a speech signal. The
adaptive threshold values are independently updated for each of the
signal paths, using a histogram data structure to accumulate long-term
data representing the mean and variance of energy within the
respective frequency band. Endpoint detection is performed by a state
machine that transitions from the speech absent state to the speech
present state, and vice versa, depending on the results of the threshold
comparisons. A partial speech detection system handles cases in
which the input signal is truncated.
