Patent EP-0924667-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BUBLITZ HERMANN
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1998-10-17
Abstract: The invention presented describes a distributed payment system
for cash-free payment with purse chip cards using the Net. The
system consists of a client system which is, for example,
installed at the customer site and a server system which is,
for example, installed at the dealer. The client and server
systems are connected over the Net, e.g. the Internet. The
client system consists of a chip card reader, the software
associated with this, a client transaction program and,
preferably, a data processing system. The server system
consists of a security module, a chip card reader device for
the security module, a server transaction program and a client
surrogate program which represents the client system and,
preferably, a data processing system. The most important
advantage of the distributed system is that a payment protocol,
independent of any control centre, can be used economically for
payment on the Net between the purchaser and dealer as well as
for collective billing between the dealer and the purse
settlement office. The use of standard components which are
currently used in local payment terminals means that an
economical design can be reached both in the dealer network
nodes (server system) as well as in the purchaser network nodes
(client system). 
     Payment using an electronic exchange has the advantage over
existing cash-free payment systems in that there is no central
control involved in the payment procedure, total settlement
calculations are possible, a cryptographically secure protocol
is used and anonymous payments are possible.

Abstract: The combined complementary encoder and modulation system for an OFDM
transmitter system combines complementary coding and modulation and exploits the
similarity of their mathematical structure to reduce implementation complexity. In
doing so, the improved OFDM transmitter system uses complementary codes to
reduce the power-to-average power (PAP) ratio of the transmitted signal.
Additionally, the combined complementary encoder and modulation system can be
modified to provide scaleablity, which allows a transmitter to operate in various
transmission environments. More precisely, scaleability refers to the transmitter's
capability to adapt the bit rate of the data, so as to satisfy varying signal bandwidth,
delay spreads, tolerance and signal-to-noise ratio requirements.

Abstract: A terminal adapter which acts as an optical line
terminator in broad band networks to optimise user or
private user network access to a public ATM network. It
allows the user to set up point-multipoint connections,
to conform traffic for access to the public network and
the measurement of transmission performance without
interrupting the flow of information. This is achieved by
connecting it to a PC to carry out local management of
the device which is made up of a physical layer module
for carrying out the conversion of optical signal to
electric, an ATM layer module which is responsible for
the functions of traffic conformity, operation and
maintenance and multiplexing, as well as the synchronism
module which selects the transmission speed and sends the
appropriate synchronism signal to the rest of the
device's components.

Abstract: A preliminary selection averaging section 105 averages a
small number of correlation values, a candidate code selecting
section 106 selects some spreading codes, each having a high
average correlation value, as candidates of a real spreading code,
an actual selection averaging section 107 performs the averaging
the correlation values of the respective candidate codes by use
of the number of correlation values necessary for sufficiently
restraining noise, and a maximum value detecting section 108
estimates a spreading code, having a maximum correlation value,
as a real spreading code. Thereby, time for an initial
synchronization can be reduced without decreasing the accuracy
of the spreading code estimation.

Abstract: A seat weight measuring apparatus for measuring the seat
weight including the weight of a passenger sitting on an
automotive seat comprises a seat connecting menchanisms
including arms for connecting the seat to seat fixing
portions. The arms comprise a seat side end thereof and a
car body side end thereof, wherein one end or both ends are
pivotally supported on pivots. Load sensor mechanisms for
receiving and detecting the seat weight are applied between
the car and the seat. Displacement restriction mechanisms
restrict the displacement of the seat relative to the seat
fixing portions within a predetermined range, and the
displacement is mainly caused by a pivotal motion of the
arms. Because the seat is connected to the car body by the
seat connecting mechanisms, which include pivotally
supported arms, the displacement of the seat relative to the
car body when the seat is loaded is regulated to some
extent. Hence, the characteristic of the load acting on the
load sensors is simplified, facilitating the measurement of
the weight of a passenger on the seat.

Abstract: The function of a two-way end-of-train (EOT) system is
coordinated with the operation of the brake equipment on a
locomotive of a train according to the steps of a novel method.
This method enables the brakes to be applied during an emergency
in a way which minimizes the buff and draft forces produced
within the train. The method includes the steps of: (1)
monitoring the train for signs of an emergency by using the brake
equipment of the locomotive; (2) determining, if an emergency has
occurred, whether the emergency is due to disjoining of the
train; (3) waiting a preset time period, if the emergency was
caused by disjoining of the train, before causing the brake
equipment of the locomotive, to command the two-way EOT system to
initiate an emergency application of the brakes from a rear part
of the train; and (4) waiting an alternative time period, if the
emergency was caused other than by disjoining of the train,
before causing the brake equipment of the locomotive to command
the two-way EOT system to initiate the emergency application of
the brakes from the rear part of the train.

Abstract: With an image processor of the present invention,
when a reduction mode is selected, image data of a
document is stored, and whether the image data includes a
character or not is detected. If no character is
recognized, copying is performed. On the other hand, if a
character is recognized, the character is reduced.
Subsequently, the reduced character is re-recognized, and
an unrecognized character rate is calculated. If the
unrecognized character rate is smaller than a reference
rate, copying is performed and the reduction mode comes to
an end. On the other hand, if the unrecognized character
rate is higher than or equal to the reference rate, a
warning massage is displayed to show that reduction
processing is unavailable so as to terminate the copying
operation, or correct the reduced character while
comparing the previously recognized character with the
reduced character and start copying. With this structure,
since the reduced image contains easily readable
characters, the handling of the image processor is
improved and its value is increased. Moreover, since only
a practically usable reduced image is output, the waste of
sheets is prevented.
