Abstract: An interlocking pour-spout closure for a flexible, gusseted package and a flexible
gusseted package including such a closure. The package is formed of a flexible material and
includes a front panel, a rear panel, and a pair of opposed side gussets. The package is initially
sealed, e.g., by a peelable seal line. The panels and gussets each include a top portion. The
package also includes a pour-through mouth, e.g., a portion of the panels and one side gusset
is arranged to be removed from the remainder of the package. The pour-through mouth is
located at the top of the package at one of the side gussets and is arranged to be opened by the
pour-spout closure to provide access to the contents of the package. The closure includes a pair
of closure sections hingedly secured to each other and each section includes a cut-away portion.
Each of the closure sections is arranged to be secured to a respective one of the package's
panels, with respective cut-away portions disposed over the at least a portion of the pour-through
mouth of the package. The closure sections are arranged to disposed in a confronting
releasably secured relationship with each other with portions of the first and second panels and
the gussets contiguous with the package's mouth tightly interposed therebetween to close the
pour-through mouth, but can be pivoted about the hinge into a non-confronting relationship,
whereupon the pour-through mouth is opened so that the material within the package can be
poured therethrough.

Abstract: In an OFDM transmitter, the input signal is modified in
several different ways by sign switches (22) operating on
sub-bands generated by a splitter (20). An inverse fast
Fourier transform circuit (14) generates an output for each
of all the possible types of modification producing a
plurality of candidate signals. The signal of best quality
is selected by subjecting the candidate signals to
processing in a model (54) representing the transmitter
amplifier (16), and estimating the candidate signal of best
quality determined by a clip energy estimator (58) and/or a
low-level estimator (60). A control circuit (64) then causes
the transmitter to transmit the candidate signal of best
quality together with signalling information indicating the
corresponding setting of the sign switches (22).

Title: Method for performing at least one transaction to acquire and/or sell financial instruments and a computer system for carrying out said method
Inventor: SCHWARZ JOERG
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a computer system and a method for carrying out at least one transaction, in order to acquire financial instruments (securities, money market instruments, foreign currency, accounting units and derivatives thereof). Said computer system comprises a data processing device, an input unit, at least one display element and an interface for transmitting and receiving data. To carry out a transaction, namely the purchase or sale of a financial instrument, an interested party first requests the market value. The market value is subsequently transmitted and evaluated. The interested party decides whether to accept or refuse said market value. If the transaction is approved, a new, current market value is requested and verified by the financial service provider. If the difference lies within a predefined area (range), the transaction is performed.

Abstract: A combined cycle power plant includes a gas turbine (210), a steam turbine
and a heat recovery steam generator (220) having a duct burner (264) for
supplementary firing. In the unfired mode, gas turbine exhaust is used in the
heat recovery steam generator (220) for generating steam for the steam
turbine (238). The power plant includes a main steam output line (234) from
the heat recovery steam generator (220) connected to the first stage inlet of
the high pressure section of the high pressure section (236) of the steam
turbine. A bypass loop is connected either to an intermediate pressure
connection of the HRSG or from the high pressure line to an admission point
downstream of the high pressure inlet nozzle, at a lower pressure than the
nominal inlet pressure. By operating the bypass system in conjunction with
the duct burning process in the HRSG, the steam inlet pressure to the steam
turbine can be maintained at the optimal level during both fired and unfired
operation of the HRSG. Another potential benefit is a higher output during
fired operation than could otherwise be accomplished with a given steam
turbine.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus for power transfer over a
nonconductive gap between rotating and non-rotating members of
downhole oilfield tools. The gap may contain a non-conductive fluid, such
as drilling fluid or oil for operating hydraulic devices in the downhole tool.
The downhole tool, in one embodiment, is a drilling assembly wherein a
drive shaft is rotated by a downhole motor to rotate the drill bit attached to
the bottom end of the drive shaft. A substantially non-rotating sleeve
around the drive shaft includes a plurality of independently operated force
application members used to exert the force required to maintain and/or
alter the drilling direction. In the preferred system, one or more
mechanically operated devices such as hydraulic units control the force
application members. A transfer device transfers electrical power between
the rotating and non-rotating members, and the electric power is converted
directly to mechanical power. An electronic control circuit or unit
associated with the rotating member controls the transfer of power
between the rotating member and the non-rotating member.

Abstract: An amplifier apparatus 30 comprises a diode 31 and a transistor 35. In operation, a
pulsed signal 57 is applied to the diode 31 and a modulating signal 45 is applied to
the collector 40 of the transistor 45. A low level version of the modulating signal 45,
as indicated by driving signal 49, serves to pilot the attenuation characteristics of the
diode 31 such that it attenuates the pulsed signal 57 during its rising and falling
periods in order to produce an attenuated signal 59. 
     Accordingly, when the current through the diode 31 is relatively high the diode 31
has low resistance and the signal 57 is not attenuated and when the current through
the diode 31 is relatively low then the diode 31 exhibits a relatively higher resistance
and the signal 57 is strongly attenuated.

Abstract: A vascular stent having one or more channels in the outer surface. The channel(s)
provide increased flexibility, enhanced perfusion, increased chronic positional stability, and
convenient dispensing of a medication. Preferably the stent is machined into a mesh-like pattern
and the channel(s) are machined into the stent elements of the pattern. The channels may be
oriented in a variety of ways. Parallel orientation tends to provide greater enhancement of
perfusion whereas perpendicular orientation provides differential flexibility. For greater control
of differential flexibility, the channel may be further machined in the stent element, producing a
regain of greater flexibility.
