Abstract: Disclosed are compositions that comprise one or more N-acylethanolamine compounds for maintaining the freshness and appearance of cut flowers, floral products, decorative foliage, fruits, and other plant cuttings. More specifically, the present invention provides methods for treating and storing cut flowers, Christmas trees, fruits, and other severed plant parts that preserve the appearance, freshness, fragrance and/or aesthetic qualities of the botanical products. Using the disclosed compositions, the shelf life of cut flowers was substantially prolonged, in many cases 2 to 5 times longer than untreated flowers, with the treated flowers or foliage appearing healthy and viable, and without wilting, dehydration, leaf drop, or visible signs of senescence. Likewise, treatment of ornamental coniferous plants with the anti-senescent compositions delayed deterioration and leaf drop, while extending the overall appearance and quality of the plants and plant cuttings.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing method in which an image
signal is divided into plural image signals corresponding to
plural blocks into which an image space formed by the image
signal is divided, and these image signals corresponding to the
respective blocks are coded block by block. This method
comprises the steps of transforming an image signal of a target
block to be coded into frequency components by frame-by-frame
frequency transformation or field-by-field frequency
transformation; generating prediction values of frequency
components of the target block with reference to frequency
components of a block which has already been coded; and coding
difference values between the frequency components of the target
block and the prediction values thereof. When the prediction
values are generated, the coded block to be referred to is
decided according to the type of frequency transformation
performed to the image signal of the target block, i,e., whether
the image signal has been processed by frame-by-frame frequency
transformation or field-by-field frequency transformation.
Therefore, spatially redundant information in an interlaced image
or a specific progressive image can be reduced satisfactorily by
intra-frame prediction, resulting in improved coding efficiency.

Abstract: A bit rate converter capable of avoiding slip of data in
a memory for use in bit rate adjustment is disclosed. A phase
comparator (4) compares a write address and a read address of
the memory to produce a phase difference. The write address is
ahead of the read address in the memory. A stuffing rate
controller (7) selects one of a plurality of preset fixed
stuffing rates depending on the phase difference. A stuff pulse
inserter (8, 5, 6) inserts a stuff pulse into readout data from
the memory at the selected stuffing rate. When normally
operating, a normal fixed stuffing rate is selected. When the
phase difference is small than a lowest threshold value, a higher
fixed stuffing rate is selected. When the phase difference is
greater than a highest threshold value, a lower fixed stuffing
rate is selected.

Title: Formation de reseaux en systeme de suivi de biens en fonction de la classe de biens
Inventor: TWITCHELL ROBERT W JR
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 2001-12-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne plusieurs émetteurs-récepteurs sans fil associés à des biens, chaque émetteur-récepteur étant affecté d'une désignation de classe représentative d'un attribut, d'une caractéristique, d'une relation ou d'un comportement du bien correspondant. Les routines de formation de réseaux en fonction de classes servent à établir des réseaux hiérarchiques sur la base de classes de biens, la classe de biens étant utilisée par chaque émetteur-récepteur pour cribler les communications destinées à des émetteurs-récepteurs de la même classe. Le réseau global de communications de données sans fil permet donc de réduire la consommation d'énergie et les interférences de signaux dans des applications de suivi de biens. Les émetteurs-récepteurs peuvent comprendre une routine de traitement de demandes permettant de former un système de base de données hiérarchique dynamiquement distribué. En outre, un émetteur-récepteur destinataire reçoit sélectivement des communications en provenance d'autres émetteurs-récepteurs locaux en émettant à des niveaux de puissance progressivement élevés vers des groupes successifs d'émetteurs-récepteurs et en ne recevant des transmissions de réponses que d'un nombre restreint d'émetteurs-récepteurs excluant les émetteurs-récepteurs dont des communications ont déjà été reçues.

been pivoted to the end position, these ribs 40 and 45 are aligned. Observing this
alignment allows one to ascertain that the lever 20 is in the correct position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for updating print drivers is
described. The described system includes a port monitor
that monitors the configuration and status of a printer.
When changes occur to the configuration of a printer, the
port monitor updates a print driver registry on the print
server. The port monitor also wakes the print driver on
the print server and informs the print driver of the
configuration changes. Depending on the client operating
system used, a client device connected to the server's
shared print queue may either directly read or request the
configuration data from the print server. In some client
operating systems, the client device may also update a
local registry on the client device to reflect the changes
in configuration of the printer The described system
allows print drivers to have a consistent interface to
printer configuration and status data regardless of which
version of the Microsoft Windows Operating System is used
by the client.

an error which occurs in such a state that there is a link for
the network or an error which occurs in such a state that there
is no link for the network; a main body processing section (5)
for storing messages indicating error states and conducting
display processing on messages stored on the basis of an error
state; and a display section (6) for displaying a message for a
