Patent EP-1035515-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SASONE RONALD P
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A method of verifying the validity of a postal stamp to determine
whether the stamp is produced legitimately and whether it has been canceled
in a previous use. The method includes the steps of producing a special
code on the stamp of interest and creating a record relating to the special
code in a database. When the mailpiece collected by a post office has a
stamp bearing a special code, the special code is reported to the database for
verification. If the records in the database indicate that the reported special
code does exist, then the stamp is considered legitimate. The mailpiece is
accepted and the stamp is canceled before delivery, and a request is sent to
the database to effect the alteration of the record relating to the "canceled"
special code. An altered record will no longer provide a proof of validity if the
database is later consulted with respect to the specific special code.

Abstract: A housing includes a crank chamber and cylinder bores.
Pistons are accommodated in the cylinder bores. A drive
shaft is supported by the housing to pass through the crank
chamber. A lug plate is fixed to the drive shaft. The
pistons are coupled to the lug plate, which converts
rotation of the drive shaft into reciprocation of the
pistons and compresses gas in the cylinder bores. A thrust
bearing is located between the housing and the lug plate and
transmits a thrust load applied to the lug plate. The
thrust bearing includes a front race located next to the
housing, a rear race located next to the lug plate, and
rollers located between the front and rear races. A front
seat for supporting the front race is formed on the housing.
A rear seat for supporting the rear race is formed on the
lug plate. The diameters of the front and rear seats are
different, which causes elastic deformation of the races
when a thrust load is applied.

Abstract: An optical axis direction, a distance measurement accuracy
and so on are efficiently performed for quality assurance of a
vehicle-mounted camera in cooperation of an image processing unit
and a vehicle-mounted navigation control unit. In a vehicle
monitoring system for imaging view ahead of the vehicle with the
camera (2a, 2b) installed in the vehicle body and for recognizing
a running condition with the image processing unit (20), the image
processing unit measures an optical axis direction and a distance
measurement accuracy to determine whether the camera quality is
appropriate or not for quality assurance of the vehicle-mounted
camera. The determined result is displayed on a monitor (52)
of the vehicle mounted navigation control unit (5) to recommend
adjustment of the camera. When failure is determined in the
pass/fail determination of the optical axis direction, an
attachment member having a shape, the optical axis direction by
which is included in the correct range in the reference pattern
of the recognized image, is selected from a variety of the
attachment members prepared in advance, and replacement of the
attachment member with the selected attachment member is
recommended.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is provide a means
capable of enlarging the measurable concentration range of a
specific component in a solution to be detected, and further
measuring a precise solution concentration with ease even
when there occur inhibitors such as contamination of a
sample cell, turbidity of the solution to be detected, and
suspending particles. For achieving this object, the
transmitted light intensities and/or the scattered light
intensities of the solution to be detected before and after
mixing a reagent for changing the optical characteristics of
the solution to be detected attributed to the specific
component are measured to obtain the concentration of the
specific component in the solution to be detected from these
measured values. Further, while obtaining the protein
concentration by the foregoing method, the optical rotation
of the solution to be detected is measured before the mixing
of the reagent, thereby to determine the concentrations of
the protein and other optical active substances than the
protein.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument d'investissement unitaire combinant un swap et une note structurée en vue d'avoir une utilisation multiple du capital. L'instrument unitaire présente trois composantes de performance. Un investisseur investit dans l'émetteur la quantité principale de la composante de la note structurée. La note structurée procure ses propres risques en portefeuille et sert en même temps de garantie pour swap de portefeuille modèle de base (en variante, le risque portefeuille modèle de base peut être acquis par dépôt de garantie séparé sur le propre portefeuille de l'investisseur). La première composante est un portefeuille modèle qui, dans une forme préférée, est un indice financier ou un indice boursier tel que l'indice boursier S & P 500. La deuxième composante est un portefeuille modèle incrémentiel saisi sur le même indice de référence, et la troisième composante est saisie sur un indice marchandises passif à des positions long et court terme qui, dans une forme préférée, est l'indice marchandises de gestion du Mont Lucas. Le risque indice marchandises passif de l'instrument est établi en tant que produit d'un facteur d'endettement et de la quantité de risque portefeuille modèle; ce risque peut donc être le produit (1) d'un facteur d'endettement et/ou (2) la variation intervenant dans la valeur de l'investissement global, la composante de référence et/ou la composante de l'indice marchandises. Le rendement de base pour l'investisseur comprend la variation de valeur du modèle, le modèle incrémentiel et le risque de l'indice marchandises passif sur une période de temps prédéterminée. La composante note structurée de l'instrument d'investissement englobe une garantie du rendement du principal investissement ; le swap ne se manifeste pas ainsi et reflète plutôt le risque global des risques du portefeuille modèle. Toutefois, la recherche montre que l'instrument unitaire swap/note structurée présente une probabilité hautement inhabituelle de performance supérieure de l'indice de référence sur une vaste gamme de cycles du marché.
