Abstract: A method is described herein for configuring a computer
network managed by the IEEE Std 802.1s™-2002 MSTP standard
or any other equivalent standard such as IEEE Std 802.1Q™-2003
in a fully- or semi-automatic manner such that: (1) if
at all possible and in the case of a failure in the MSTP-based
computer network affecting a Multiple Spanning Tree
Instance (MSTI), MSTP reestablishes connectivity in that
MSTI by preferably activating links whose activation
ensures that the connectivity within a Virtual Local Area
Network (VLAN) mapped onto and associated with that MSTI is
not lost; and (2) a VLAN is mapped onto a MSTI whose active
topology covers the topology of this VLAN, this being
ensured by setting up that MSTI depending on the desired
VLAN topology.

Abstract: There is disclosed an antenna (1) having a tapered radiating element (2) possessing a
slow-wave structure (7a, 7b) along a tapered radiating edge (6) thereof. The radiating
element is combined with a ground plane conductor (3) to form a monopole antenna. The
slow-wave structure supports an increased antenna operating bandwidth and reduced
aperture clutter by being shaped to increase the radiative rate of loss of energy from
signals propagating along the slow-wave structure. A log-periodic distribution in the
shaping of serrations (7b) within the slow-wave structure provides substantially frequency-independent
performance across the bandwidth.

Abstract: In mounting a combined oil control ring in a ring
groove formed in a piston, the combined oil control ring
is mounted in a form that an opening between but ends of
an oil ring body is widened. In such an operation, it
is likely that a coil expander falls off the oil ring body
thus making the mounting operation cumbersome. To
overcome such a drawback, a relationship L1<L2 is
established. Here L1 means a axial distance between open
peripheries of the groove portion and L2 means a maximum
axial distance between peripheries of the groove portion.

Title: Reproduction de documents de securite et d'images en couleurs avec des encres metalliques
Inventor: HERSCH ROGER D
IPC: B41M1/18
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes et des systèmes d'impression par superposition d'une encre métallique et d'encres transparentes. Ces méthodes et ces systèmes sont utiles pour obtenir la séparation des couleurs d'images par superposition d'une encre métallique et d'encres transparentes, aussi bien à des fins de création graphique qu'à des fins de création et d'authentification de documents de sécurité, tels que billets de banque, chèques, diplômes, documents commerciaux, passeports, cartes d'identité, cartes de crédit, étiquettes de produits, disques optiques, CDs, DVDs, emballages de médicaments, de cosmétiques, et bouteilles de boissons alcoolisées. On peut créer des images imprimées avec un comportement dynamique en combinant une encre métallique et des encres transparentes : une image observée par réflexion spéculaire peut être considérablement différente de la même image observée par réflexion non-spéculaire. Des motifs assombris ou cachés peuvent être mis en évidence sous une réflexion spéculaire, ce qui permet d'obtenir des effets visuels intéressants. Les encres métalliques permettent donc de créer des images en couleurs dynamiquement changeantes visuellement attrayantes. En outre, l'effet d'inversion obtenu au moyen des encres métalliques permet de mettre en évidence des microstructures présentes dans l'image ou de révéler des motifs cachés. Comme ces effets se perdent lorsque les documents sont photocopiés, ces méthodes, systèmes et documents de sécurité offrent une sécurité élevée contre des tentatives de contrefaçon.

Abstract: New functions including fade-in and fade-out are provided in view of particularity of three-dimensional image display. [means to solve the problem] During a fade-out process, a left-eye image (L image) is moved in a left direction while it is gradually reduced in size, and a right-eye image (R image) is moved in a right direction while it is gradually reduced in size. Thus, parallax between the L image and the R image is gradually increased. When the image is viewed through a 3D filter, it appears as if a subject to be displayed on a still image were gradually drawn in a depth direction. Furthermore, this effect can be magnified when the sizes of the L image and the R image are gradually reduced.
