Abstract: An IC card (6) has a card information memory area wherein there are written a master
public key nA, card secret keys pU and qU, a card public key nU, a card identification number
IDU, and a first master digital signature SA1 for information including the card identification
number. An IC card terminal (2a, 2b) has terminal information memory area wherein there are
written a master public key nA, terminal secret keys pT and qT, a terminal public key nT, a
terminal identification number IDT, and a second master digital signature SA2 for information
including the terminal identification number IDT. When inserted into the IC card terminal, the IC
card sends thereto the data nU, IDU, and SA1. The IC card terminal verifies the digital signature
SA1 by the master public key nA and, if it is valid, transmits the data nT, IDT and SA2 to the IC
card. The IC card verifies the digital signature SA2 by the master public key nA and, if it is valid,
transmits information corresponding to the current remainder value V to the IC card terminal.
The IC card terminal makes a check to see if the received information corresponding to the
remainder value V is appropriate, and if so, becomes enabled for providing a service.

Abstract: The electronic function generator uses a FIFO memory holding values used for generation of the required function. The empty output of the memory is coupled to the retransmit input, so that each read-end signal initiates a new read-out of the memory. The periodic digital data values obtained at the memory outputs, representing the generated function, are converted into corresponding analogue signals for controlling the transducer of the location device.

Patent EP-0909636-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WHEAT WILLIAM R
IPC: C08L23/12
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to the improvement of metal bond strength in polypropylene
films surface treated at higher levels through the addition to the basic isotactic polypropylene
(iPP) polymer of an amount of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) in an amount no more than
about 10 percent by weight and preferably in an amount between about 0.5 percent and about
8 percent by weight. The invention encompasses both the resulting metallized polypropylene
films with enhanced bond strength and the process for producing such films. The prescribed use
provides improved bonding properties over a simple non-blended isotactic polypropylene
homopolymer, while maintaining at acceptable levels the optical and physical characteristics of
a film made from non-blended iPP homopolymer. At increasing percentages of sPP above the
preferred levels, bond strength continues to increase, but a deterioration in other properties may
be noted, particularly in the optical property haze.

Abstract: In treatment of water by injection of ozone into the water for
removal of harmful matters, odor matters, and color matters therein,
either or both of a nonyl phenol and a cresol are added to the water to
be treated. The nonyl phenol is added together with a lower alcohol or
acetone to the water to be treated. The cresol is added together with a
lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. A p-nonyl phenol
is added as the nonyl phenol for treatment. As the cresol for addition,
a p-cresol is added. As the nonyl phenol for addition, such a nonyl
phenol that two molecular weights of 220 and 107 are detected when
measured by either or both of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry
is used. By the above treatment, the decomposition reaction of ozone
can be accelerated, and thereby it becomes possible to accelerate the
oxidative decomposition reaction of organic matters, the amount of ozone
required for the decomposition of harmful matters can be reduced with
the decomposition time. The decomposition rate of organic matters can
be accelerated by addition of a nonyl phenol or a cresol. Accordingly,
when the process for accelerating the reaction of ozone is applied in
water treatment, the treatment rate of water can be enhanced. The
treatment volume per time of water can be enhanced, whereby the site
area for water treatment facilities can be reduced even in the event
that the capacity of a reaction tank is reduced.

Title: Exhaust gas purifying catalyst and system and method of producing the catalyst
Inventor: SUMIDA HIROSUKE
IPC: F01N3/10
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system and a catalyst (14,31)
used for the system prevents NOx absorbent from being
poisoned by a sulphur compound to keep NOx absorption
performance. The catalyst has at least an inner (26) and an outer
layer (28,29) on a support material (25), the inner layer having NOx
absorbent capable of absorbing NOx and a sulphur compound in
the exhaust gas produced from combustion of a lean fuel
mixture, releasing the NOx into the exhaust gas and
substantially stopping absorbing the sulphur compound when a
rich mixture is burnt, and the outer layer having a sulphur
compound absorbent capable of absorbing the sulphur compound
in the exhaust gas produced from combustion of a lean fuel
mixture and capable of discharging the sulphur compound into
the exhaust gas when a rich fuel mixture is burnt while the
engine operates in a lean-burn zone. NOx is absorbed by the
NOx absorbent in the inner layer and the sulphur compound is
absorbed in the sulphur compound absorbent in the outer
layer. Therefore the NOx absorbent in the inner layer is
protected from being poisoned by the sulphur compound.

Abstract: A lean-burn engine exhaust gas NOx treatment process uses a NOx store (4) and an independent upstream catalyst (2) which is supplied with returned NOx-laden exhaust gas resulting from regeneration of the NOx store. A lean-burn i.c. engine exhaust gas NOx treatment process comprises storing NOx in a NOx store (4) during lean-burn operation of the engine, switching the engine to a fuel/air ratio (lambda ) of about 1 to regenerate the NOx store and returning at least part of the NOx released by the resulting temperature increase to an independent catalyst (2) located between the engine (1) and the NOx store (4). An independent claim is also included for equipment for carrying out the above process, including a return line (7) for returning NOx-laden exhaust gas from the NOx store (4) to the upstream catalyst (2) during regeneration of the NOx store (4).
