Abstract: A support device for a rotary drum having at least one roller capable of cooperating with the drum. At least two bearings permit the rotation of the roller about its axis of rotation. The support device has a chassis into which the bearings are secured. The chassis is mounted for pivoting about a pivotal axis substantially perpendicular to the plane passing through the axis of rotation of the roller and perpendicular to a block onto which the support device is placed. The device also includes a connector which is flexible in a given direction and rigid in the directions orthogonal to the direction of flexibility. The connector maintains the bearings on the block while permitting free pivotal movement of the chassis in such a way to permit alignment of the roller on the drum in the event of pivoting.

Abstract: An satellite-based internet access includes uses a distributed proxy server that reduces a delay associated with the retrieval of inline objects of web pages. The distributed proxy server includes a first component which runs on the browser side of the satellite link and communicates with web browsers, and a second component which runs on an Internet side of the satellite link and communicates with web servers. When a web page is requested over the satellite link, the second component determines whether the parent file includes any references to inline objects, and prefetches each such inline object. The prefetched objects are transmitted over the satellite link to the first component, which in-turn stores the prefetched objects in a cache and provides the prefetched objects to the requesting web browser. The first component may also block browser requests for prefetched inline objects from unnecessarily being transmitted over the satellite link.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing multifocal correction lenses from semi-finished lenses (1) having at least a first positioning marker M, associated with a correction A called distant vision correction, and a second positioning marker M' associated with a correction B called near vision correction. The method comprises a step which consists in a surface grinding of the semi-finished lens (1) on an internal surface of said lens. The latter is inclined at a specific angle (beta), for example using a wedge, so as to induce a prism of prismatic deviation such that the distant vision and the near vision optical centres are brought together and merge. The invention also concerns a system controlled by a data processing device, for example a micro-computer (8), for automatically carrying out the surface grinding step using a recorded programme and parameters input (80) by an operator.

Abstract: In the present invention, the implementation of a protocol that embeds packets is made sensitive to the type of data being embedded, so that adjustable parameters can be set automatically at the layer providing the parameters being adjusted in accordance with the packets being embedded. Thus it is taken into account that the data in packets being received from a higher layer in order to be encapsulated or segmented and sent further (either directly into the link or on to lower layer), may be classified into different categories with respect to the adjustable parameters, where the parameters can automatically be adjusted for an individual packet in accordance with the category into which is classified. <IMAGE>

Abstract: We present a method and apparatus for local and superficial measurement of the optical properties of turbid media. The depth probed is on the order of 1 transport mean free path of the photon. The absorption coefficient, reduced scattering coefficient and the phase function parameter  gamma =(1-g2)/(1-g1) are optical parameters computed from a single measurement of the spatially resolved reflectance close to the source. Images of superficial structures of the medium can be obtained by performing multi-site measurements. An important application of this technique is the characterization of biological tissues, for example for medical diagnostic purposes. Measurements on biological tissues can be achieved using a probe of diameter less than 2mm, and the average volume probed is on the order of 1 mm<3>. Separate images of absorption and tissue structure can be achieved with a resolution of approximately one transport mean free path of the considered tissue.
