Abstract: Selon l'invention, des articles sont transportés par un système de convoyeur dans une boucle, d'une zone de chargement vers une zone de déchargement adjacente à la zone de chargement, en passant par une zone cible. Un premier côté de l'article est irradié par une source de rayonnement située dans la zone cible, lors du passage de l'article dans la zone cible. La source de rayonnement peut être essentiellement parallèle ou perpendiculaire au système de convoyeur. La boucle présente des sections courbes et des sections droites disposées entre les sections courbes. Du matériau de protection contre les rayonnements remplit essentiellement l'espace à l'intérieur de la boucle. Le système de convoyeur et la source de rayonnement sont disposés dans une chambre réalisée en matériau de protection contre les rayonnements (par ex. béton). Le matériau de protection à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la boucle définit une partie de boucle exempte de rayonnements, présentant des sections droites avec un espacement relativement étroit. Un pont relativement court, ne présentant pas de protection contre les rayonnements est disposé dans cette zone exempte de rayonnements, tout comme les zone de chargement et de déchargement. Le pont imprime une rotation de 180 DEG  aux articles après irradiation du premier côté des articles, et transfère les articles vers le système de convoyeur, en amont de la zone cible, pour que les articles soient à nouveau tournés après irradiation, et que le deuxième côté des articles soit irradié. Après une telle irradiation, les articles sont transférés vers la zone de déchargement.

Abstract: A method and a wireless communication device (MT2) (104) for simultaneously negotiating LCP or IPCP configuration options over both the R m and the U m interfaces. When the MT2 device (104) receives either an LCP or an IPCP Configure-Request packet over one of the R m or the U m interfaces, the MT2 device parses the requested configuration options (S310, S510) and determines whether the requested options are supported (S320, S320) by the MT2 device. If the requested options are supported, the MT2 device saves a Configure-Request ID (S360, S560), included in the Configure-Request packet, and frames the Configure-Request packet in a PPP frame for transmission on the other of the R m or the U m interfaces. If any of the requested configuration options are not supported by the MT2 device, the MT2 device creates a Configure-Reject packet (S330, S530 ), including the unsupported options, and frames the Configure-Reject packet in a PPP frame for transmission over the interface through which it received the Configure-Request packet.

Title: Network bandwidth optimization by dynamic channel allocation
Inventor: GOODE CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2000-04-19
Granted: 2010-11-23
Abstract: An information delivery system provides programming, such as video programming, by dynamically allocating the programming to channel slots, based on the availability of the channel slots. Programming with high viewership statistics is transmitted substantially continuously and programming with lower viewership statistics is transmitted "on-demand" in response to requests by users by way of a subscriber station. The subscriber stations maintain a map, provided by a corresponding session control manager, of currently available and currently transmitted channels. The information delivery system, in a preferred embodiment, takes the form of a Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bending device for the working rolls of a hot-rolling frame, comprising hydraulic piston cylinder units which transmit bending forces to the chucks of the working rolls, using guide elements. The invention aims to improve a bending device of this type, in such a way that the actuating forces which are to be generated are produced by a piston cylinder unit with dimensions small enough to be easily mounted into blocks which are to be provided in the windows of the frame, whilst retaining a free choice of the bearings for the support rolls. This is achieved by a double-action hydraulic piston cylinder unit (4, 5), provided for each block, whose two ends are connected to the guide elements (12, 13). Said guide elements (12, 13) encompass the free ends of the catches (20, 21) of the working-roll chucks (18, 19) on both sides by an axial displacement of the guide grooves (22, 23) which accommodate the working rolls (16, 17).

Abstract: A virtual gaming experience is enabled by using randomly retrieved gaming episodes from a pre-recorded episode database. The pre-recorded videos are obtained from previously recorded casino security video or from closed regulated tournament video recordings or from computer generated animations.  The casino based multimedia source provides audio-video signals depicting various legally-authorized live casino games. An accounting subsystem manages the compensation, credit accounts, and authentication for a virtual player. An electronic or mechanical database distribution center connects the multimedia video source and the player accounting subsystem to a virtual player station.  The virtual player station includes an appropriately secured display for displaying to the virtual player the multimedia video signal depicting the legally-authorized live casino game or a pre-recorded legally randomized casino game or the artificially generated pre-recorded game. The virtual player station also provides appropriately secured gaming information, which enables the legally authenticated (biometric or otherwise) virtual player to place a game episode outcome wager. The virtual player station also provides gaming information to enable the virtual player to receive a payout. Novel simplified wagering rules also enable the virtual player to bet either for or against the actual player depicted in each of the pre-recorded gaming episodes using either a live casino multimedia video signal or a restricted randomized casino multimedia game video from a pre-recorded storage medium. Pay table related decisions for the simplified wagering rules are as simple as video slot wagering compared to more complicated casino pay tables for card and other games, such as craps. A virtual player can concurrently play several dissimilar casino games with these simplified wagering rules at the same player gaming station. When selecting a game, the virtual player can virtually roam around a casino and then participate in a plurality of selected games and purchase casino sponsored E-commerce services and products without leaving the virtual player gaming station.

Title: Improvements to rotary gear for sailing boats
Inventor: FERNANDEZ PUENTES GONZALO
IPC: B63H9/06
Filed: 2000-07-04
Granted: 2006-02-07
Abstract: The improvements are characterized in that the connection of the boom to the rest of the boat gear is such that, in the horizontal plane, the boom has to rotate in tandem with the rest of the boat gear but may move from top to bottom in a vertical plane for tensioning the sails; in that the axis can be extended in the width direction when flush over the deck thereby forming a wide and strong base so that the rotation of the whole boat gear can be controlled from said base, not only because all the necessary control mechanisms are provided there but also because all the remainder elements of the boat gear are also forced to rotate with said base; said base may also use rotary stays and shrouds to help support the mast.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically producing a desired specific gravity of a salt solution used for deicing highways. Highway departments can produce a high volume of salt solution of a desired specific gravity by a machine that automatically feeds salt and water into a hopper tank to produce brine, then automatically measures and adjusts the specific gravity of the brine by adding greater or lesser amounts of fresh water to the brine removed from the hopper tank. The salt added to the hopper tank contains impurities, which are removed by self-cleaning strainers. The sediment so removed flows to a trash tank. Sediment in the trash tank settles to the bottom thereof and the liquid collected is filtered by another set of self-cleaning strainers such that liquid from the trash tank can be sent to the hopper tank. The device automatically records the specific gravity of the solution produced.
