Abstract: Parallel cathode electrodes 13, 14 extend across the base plate 1 of a display. Each
electrode 13, 14 has teeth 15, 16 projecting from both sides, the teeth of adjacent electrodes
being closely spaced from one another by a gap 17 that is bridged by a dot 18 of an electron
emitter material. A glass screen 2 spaced by a vacuum gap above the base plate 1 carries
transparent anode stripes 22 extending transversely of the cathode electrodes 13, 14 and a
fluorescent layer 23 of coloured phosphors on the anode stripes. A voltage applied between
adjacent cathode electrodes 13 and 14 gates conduction via each electron emitter dot 18. A
voltage applied to an anode stripe 22 causes a part of the current from the emitter 18 directly
below the stripe to be directed towards the anode, thereby illuminating the phosphor pixel
above the emitter.

Abstract: Various circuit techniques for implementing ultra high speed circuits use current-controlled CMOS (C3MOS) logic with inductive broadbanding fabricated in conventional CMOS process technology. Optimum balance between power consumption and speed for each circuit application is achieved by combining high speed C3MOS logic with inductive broadbanding/C3MOS logic with low power conventional CMOS logic. The combined C3MOS logic with inductive broadbanding/C3MOS/CMOS logic allows greater integration of circuits such as high speed transceivers used in fiber optic communication systems.

Title: Procede permettant d'obtenir des donnees de tension arterielle de detecteurs optiques
Inventor: KHAIR MOHAMMAD
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur optique (12) qui génère des données de tension artérielle grâce à l'obtention de deux images dimensionnelles de la surface du corps d'un patient, de la région proche de l'artère radiale du poignet, par exemple. Le flux sanguin chez le patient entraîne une réflexion de lumière d'une surface réfléchissante flexible (14) appliquée contre le patient en appliquant une pression, et la diffusion de la lumière est détectée par un réseau bidimensionnel (17) de photo-détecteurs (18). La sortie des photo-détecteurs lors d'événements systoliques et diastoliques est étalonnée en fonction de mesures de tension artérielle connues, prises au moyen d'un sphygmomanomètre à brassard pneumatique classique. Les relations d'étalonnage linéaire entre le signal de sortie et la tension artérielle sont obtenues lors de l'étalonnage pour un ensemble de photo-détecteurs. Lorsque les données de tension artérielle sont obtenues du patient, la relation d'étalonnage linéaire entre les signaux de sortie et la tension artérielle est appliquée aux signaux de sortie provenant de l'ensemble de photo-détecteurs, ce qui produit des données de tension artérielle. Le procédé permet de corriger les changements de pression appliquée et la translation ou la rotation du détecteur optique par rapport au patient. L'invention concerne également un mode de réalisation préféré de détecteur optique à utiliser dans la mise en application de ce procédé.

Abstract: A method for combating fungal attack in plants kept in a closed nutritional system (especially a greenhouse) involves releasing free copper ions into the nutrient solution (A) using an electrode pair, consisting of a copper anode and a cathode immersed in (A), under control such that free Cu ions are present in (A) (when supplied to the plants) at 0.1-0.8 ppm. A method for combating fungal attack in plants kept in a closed nutritional system (especially a greenhouse), in which copper ions are added to the nutrient solution (A) and the concentration of (A) is continuously monitored via the conductivity and kept constant by addition of nutrients, free copper ions are released into (A) using an electrode pair, consisting of a copper anode and a cathode immersed in (A). A control unit adjusts the Cu ion release as required, such that the binding threshold of Cu ions in (A) is exceeded and free Cu ions are present in (A) (when supplied to the plants) at a concentration 0.1-0.8 (preferably 0.2-0.3) ppm. An independent claim is also included for the corresponding apparatus. - ACTIVITY : Fungicide. - MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given.

The first cache may also store data items that can be served in response to data requests having different forms, types, parameters, qualifiers or other indicia. Data that may vary according to the form or content of a data request, and data items that are responsive to data requests that must be fully parsed, examined or processed may be stored in the second cache. A content analysis engine may be configured to determine which of said first cache and said second cache a data item should be stored in. Such determinations may be made by analyzing data requests and/or data items served in response to the requests, guidelines set by a system administrator, and other criteria.
