Patent EP-0884091-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PRIESS GUENTER ING
IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1998-05-05
Abstract: The adsorption drier for gaseous media incorporates one or several parallel adsorption chambers (1, 2) which, in particular, is/are switchable between adsorption and regeneration modes of operation, and a blower (6). Through the adsorption chamber(s) to be regenerated, this blower at a first stage of regeneration sucks a fresh gaseous medium heated in a heater (5), while at a second stage of regeneration it sucks a fresh cool gaseous medium. At the pressure side of the blower there is a bypass (11) leading to the heater. This bypass serves for mixing a branched off part of the heated gaseous medium with the fresh gaseous medium yet to be heated in the heater.

Abstract: A memory having an array of memory cells. The
array includes a plurality of normal memory cells and a
redundant memory cell. A decoder is provided for
selecting an addressed one of the normal memory cells in
response to an address and a normal condition signal and
adapted address the redundant memory cell in response to
the address and a fault condition signal. A redundant
decoder is provided having an electronically erasable
read-only-memory cell. The redundant decoder is adapted
to produce the normal condition signal and to convert the
normal condition signal into the fault condition signal
when such read-only-memory cell is programmed into a fault
condition. Each one of the read-only memory cells include
a flash memory cell, a ferroelectric memory cell, or other
such type of electronically erasable read-only memory cell
which is substantially non-volatile and is able to retain
its programmed state for a relatively long period of time.
With such an arrangement, because the electronically
erasable read-only-memory cell is electronically
programmable, a defective normal memory cell may be
replaced with a redundant memory cell the memory is
packaged.

Abstract: A PPV based electroluminescent device[100] is constructed on a substrate[12, 101]
by depositing a layer[14] of material having a PPV precursor and photoacid generator on the
substrate[12, 101]. The substrate[12, 101] typically includes the anode[104] for the device.
The PPV precursor is converted to PPV in the presence of an acid. The photoacid generator
produces an acid when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. Those portions ofthe layer[14]
that are not to contain electroluminescent elements are masked. The unmasked portion is then
illuminated with electromagnetic radiation; and any unreacted PPV precursor is removed to
provide a plurality of isolated PPV regions[20, 108] on the substrate[l2,101]. An electron
transport layer [106] is then deposited over the PPV regions [108] and the cathode[102] is
deposited on top of the electron transport layer[106]. By properly choosing the thickness of
the electron transport layer[106], the electron transport layer[106] also provides electrical
isolation between the anode[104] and cathode[102] in the regions ofthe device that do not
include PPV elements[108].

Title: Seismic surveying
Inventor: PAFFENHOLZ JOSEF
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: A method for determining water bottom reflectivities
whereby pressure signals and velocity signals are combined
to generate combined signals having signal components
representing downwardly-travelling energy substantially
removed. The pressure and velocity signals correspond to
seismic waves generated at source locations n in a water
layer and detected by co-located pressure and velocity
receivers at receiver locations m in the water layer. The
combined signals correspond to each pairing of source
location n and receiver location m. The combined signals
are transformed from the time domain to the frequency
domain, generating transformed signals. A source peg-leg
term and a receiver peg-leg term are calculated for each
transformed signal, generating filtered signals. An
optimization algorithm is applied to the filtered signals,
using the corresponding source and receiver peg-leg terms
to determine the water bottom reflectivity values R n  and
R m  at the source locations n and the receiver locations m,
respectively.

Filed: 1999-05-04
Abstract: When a calling party calls a called party on the public-switched telephone
network (PSTN), a database common to both the PSTN and an Internet Protocol
(IP) network, is accessed to determine whether the called telephone line is
currently active on the IP network. That database maintains a record for each
user who is currently active on the IP network through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP). In addition, each record contains information identifying the
particular user logged into the network on that line, an indication whether the
telephone line is IP telephony capable, an indication whether that line is currently
active on an IP telephony call on an Internet Telephony network (ITN), and the
IP telephony feature set subscribed to by the called party on that line. If the
telephone line is active, IP telephony capable, currently active on an IP
telephony call on the ITN, and the called party subscribes to a call waiting-on-IP
feature, then the incoming call can be forwarded as an IP telephony call to the
called telephone line over the ITN. Alternatively, the incoming call can be
directed to an alternate destination on either the ITN network or the PSTN, such
as a voice mail or message service. If the called party is engaged in a browsing
activity and has an IP telephony capability, then the called party is alerted to the
incoming telephone call via a message on his terminal. The incoming call is then
completed through the ITN to the called party as an Internet telephony call. If
the called party is currently active on the IP network through an ISP, but does
not have an IP telephony capability, then the PSTN forwards a message to the
ISP, which pushes a message to the called party to inform him or her of the
incoming call. The incoming call is then be directed onto the IP network to a
messaging service, or on the PSTN to a voicemail service, or to an alternate
telephone number, such as a cellular phone, for pickup by the called party.

Abstract: A rotary switch device in which fixed contacts (71

made of a synthetic resin, contact plates (35,36) in a
ring shape are floatingly held by a rotor (34) disposed
opposed to the one face side of the base member, movable
contacts (41 to 46) capable switching the connection and
disconnection to and from the fixed contacts in
accordance with the rotation of the rotor are integrally
formed at a plurality of places spaced from each other
at circumferential intervals on the contact plates, and
sliding faces (103 to 107) capable of being brought into
slide contact with the movable contacts are formed on
the one face of the rotor side of the base member, along
a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotor.
The sliding faces are formed in the base member so as to
avoid the loci (110,113) which are drawn by portions of
the movable contacts to be brought into slide contact
with the fixed contacts in accordance with the rotation
of the rotor. Thereby, foreign objects are prevented
from being interposed between the movable contacts and
the fixed contacts when the switch is ON, and the
electrical connection reliability can be enhanced.
