Abstract: The method involves signalling a connection request (CALL) to a control unit of a first communication network (NET1). The control unit identifies whether sufficient capacity exists for the connection. The connection is set up by the control unit via a second communication network (NET2) when the capacity is not sufficient due to the assigned parameters (PA) of the requesting terminal (TEA). Preferably, the request is signalled by a terminal of the first communication network for a connection to a terminal (TEB) of the first network. The parameters indicate whether it is permitted to set up an alternative connection.

Abstract: An image recognition system using the light-section method is
described, which has versatility and does not shorten the service life of
light projector means. 
     Projection of light from a light source onto a workpiece is continued
between the time when a measuring command is issued and the time just
after light has been converged by the automatic aperture control
mechanism of a television camera or the time just after a state equivalent to
the convergence of light has been established. An image processing unit
processes an image picked up by the television camera just after the
convergence of light by the automatic aperture control mechanism or just
after the establishment of the state equivalent to the convergence of light,
so as to obtain three dimensional configuration data on the workpiece.

Abstract: L'afficheur à cristaux liquides du type UV-phosphore de la présente invention est constitué d'une source lumineuse (1) produisant une lumière d'excitation dans une plage étroite définie de longueurs d'ondes UV, d'un collimateur (3) dirigeant la lumière d'excitation en parallèle dans un sens défini, d'une cellule à cristaux liquides (5) formée d'une matrice de pixels, d'un écran photoluminescent (7) disposé sur la cellule et agencé pour émettre une lumière visible lorsqu'il est atteint par la lumière d'excitation en bande étroite traversant la cellule, et d'une logique de commande pour l'adressage de la cellule à cristaux liquides en mode multiplex. L'orientation de la lumière et l'épaisseur de la cellule sont choisies de façon à obtenir le meilleur rapport de contraste pour le cristal liquide. Un tel effet n'est possible que lorsqu'on utilise une lumière collimatée, ce qui n'est pas pratique pour un afficheur normal. Par contre, avec la configuration à photoémetteur au phosphore, on dispose d'une solution idéale. Etant donné qu'il n'y a pas de perte de contraste, on peut utiliser des tensions de commande se situant dans une plage bien inférieure, et par conséquent disposer d'une plus grande latitude de multiplexage pour un écran à matrice passive, tout en conservant à l'afficheur ses propriétés de lisibilité sous tous les angles.
