Patent EP-0860212-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RICHARDOT FRANCIS
IPC: H05B3/42
Filed: 1998-02-19
Abstract: A hot melt adhesive applicator has an elongated chamber (3') with an inlet end (4') conforming to a stick (5') of the adhesive and an outlet end (6') fitted with a molten adhesive distribution nozzle (7'), the stick (5') being progressively pushed into the chamber where it is electrically heated. The novelty is that heating is effected by one or more heating elements (131) in the form of a resistive track (151) which is connected to an electricity source and which is formed on an electrically insulating surface of a substrate (141) to be in direct thermal contact with the adhesive mass within the chamber (3'). Preferably, the resistive track (151) is formed by screen printing of a metal or ruthenium and/or indium oxide resistive paste on a substrate (141) of alumina, enamelled sheet or a dielectric layer-covered stainless steel sheet, the track material preferably having a positive temperature coefficient of resistance and a resistivity of 1-1000  OMEGA /square for a 8-20 mu m thickness. Also claimed is a solid adhesive stick for feeding into the above applicator, the stick having a cylindrical shape with a polygonal cross-section conforming to that of the chamber inlet.

Abstract: A method of reconstructing successive scans of bar codes
having a plurality of dark elements separated from light
elements, comprising the steps of: performing a first scan of
the bar code thereby determining the position (Tp) and the
width (Tc) of the elements in the first scan with respect to
an absolute reference position (To, Li); calculating the
position which the elements in the first scan will take with
respect to the absolute reference position in a subsequent
scan; making a second scan of the bar code thereby
determining the position (Tp) and the width (Tc) of the
elements in the second scan with respect to the absolute
reference position (To, Li); carrying out a correspondence
search step for finding at least one reference element for
the first scan and one reference element for the second scan,
which have substantially the same position (Tp) with respect
to the absolute reference position (To, Li) and substantially
the same width (Tc); and combining the elements in the first
scan with the elements in the second scan, generating a
reconstructed scan.

Abstract: In the case where plural encoder outputs encoded at
variable bit rate are multiplexed to carry out transmission
thereof at a fixed or constant bit rate, output bit rates from
respective buffers are controlled on the basis of delay time τ1
from the time when encoding bit rates of video signals Video
1, Video 2 of respective encoders have been changed until
output bit rates of corresponding buffers change. Thus, it can
be prevented that multiplexed bit rate may exceed the
capacity of the transmission path or the encoder buffer may
overflow.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une cellule à cristal liquide dotée de plaques délimitant un espace qui est rempli de cristal liquide, notamment du type nématique en hélice. Les plaques ne sont pas disposées de manière parallèle mais de manière à former un angle préétabli de sorte que le cristal liquide prenne la forme d'un coin, produisant ainsi différentes épaisseurs efficaces de cristal liquide en fonction de la position latérale au sein de la cellule. En cours d'utilisation, un étroit faisceau irradie une partie de la cellule, et la cellule est positionnée suivant la direction du coin de manière à ce que sa performance soit optimale. Cette invention est particulièrement adaptée à un commutateur multi-longueur d'onde à cristal liquide, qui nécessite des rapports d'extinction entre les deux états de la cellule. Ce type de commutateur est utilisé dans les systèmes de communication multiplexé en longueur d'onde utilisant des fibres optiques.

Title: Method for producing impulse voltage sequences to operate discharge lamps and circuit pertaining thereto
Inventor: VOLLKOMMER FRANK
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing impulse voltage sequences to operate discharge lamps (8) by means of pulsed, dielectrically impeded discharge, whereby part of the required pulse overshoot values is replaced by an offset direct voltage component (UDC(t)). One of the advantages provided is that a correspondingly lower proportion of EMI is produced when impulse voltage sequences are generated. The invention also provides for injection of part of the effective power which is injected mainly for the duration of the voltage pulses in order to produce the discharge on the basis of the offset direct voltage (UDC(t)). A circuit is provided with a series parallel connection of an impulse circuit (1) and a direct voltage circuit (2), whereby the impulse circuit (1) can be dimensioned to have a lower output in comparison with prior art.
