Title: Systeme de support pour les techniques de vente et methode associee
Inventor: MELCHIONE ANTHONY R
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1996-10-17
Abstract: Système de support pour les techniques de vente, et méthode associée, permettant d'identifier des cibles de vente à l'aide d'une base de données centralisée dans le but d'améliorer les résultats de la mercatique. Le système comprend une base de données centrale qui reçoit des informations détaillées en provenance de diverses sources internes et externes, puis les standardise et les stocke dans une hiérarchie à trois niveaux (foyers, clients et comptes) destinée à une institution financière. Des stations de travail de micromercatique peuvent accéder aux informations détaillées stockées dans la base de données centrale afin d'établir des listes de clients éventuels destinées à des campagnes de mercatique. Un gestionnaire de base de données génère des accès logiques permettant d'accéder aux données contenues dans la base de données centrale afin d'accroître la vitesse et l'efficacité de celle-ci. Le système distribue électroniquement à des réseaux de succursales des listes de clients éventuels, qui sont utilisées pour cibler des clients en vue des campagnes de mercatique. Les stations de travail d'un système central d'information de la clientèle peuvent accéder à la base de données centrale afin d'établir des profils de clients, améliorer les relations de la clientèle avec l'institution financière, et suivre électroniquement les ventes et les performances d'un produit durant les campagnes. Le système peut également comporter un dispositif qui permet d'ouvrir un compte en une seule session et qui est en communication avec la base de données centrale, ainsi qu'avec des centres de micromercatique, des systèmes centraux d'information de la clientèle et des systèmes de succursale conformes à la présente invention, de façon à permettre les échanges de données entre ces différents systèmes, dans la mesure où ces échanges sont légaux et appropriés.

Title: Use of acoustic emission in rock formation analysis
Inventor: EMMEN JACOBUS HENDRIKUS PETRUS
IPC: E21B47/005
Filed: 1996-12-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a characteristic of a material selected from rock formation and cement, which material surrounds a borehole containing a fluid. The method comprises positioning an acoustic sensor at a selected position in the borehole, the acoustic sensor being suitable to provide signals representing acoustic emission from said material, applying a selected pressure to the fluid thereby inducing mechanical stresses in said material, said stresses inducing acoustic emission from said material. The sensor is induced to detect the acoustic emission and to provide a signal representing the acoustic emission. The characteristic is determined from said signal and from the pressure applied to the fluid.

Patent CA-2260720-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TUCKER STEPHEN
IPC: H04Q7/22
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to the switching of traffic signals to/from telecommunications channels and, particularly, relates to the switching of traffic for mobile radio and telephone systems.      Switching of traffic is conventionally provided in a radio based station by a separate switching matrix. The separate switching matrix connects one channel to another utilising a time-space switching method. The channel connections are re-configurable under control of a processor device.      The present invention obviates the need for a separate switching matrix and therefore reduces the size, complexity and cost of the base station. Instead of providing a separate switching matrix, transceiver units are provided which plug directly into a backplane carrying time-space switching buses, the transceiver units being arranged to control signal time-slot allocation directly to the buses.

Abstract: The wall thickness of each of paired cassette shell halves (14) of a cassette shell is partially small since a recess is provided in its internal face parallel to a magnetic disk (2). A step (10a) is formed on the periphery of the recess (10). A ring-like projection (10b) is formed at the part of the recess (10) corresponding to a flange section (7a) of a center core (7). The section (10) is covered with an elastic member (21) having a liner (8) on one side facing the disk (2) and attached to the shell half (14) in such a way that the periphery of the member (21) is fixed to the step (10a) and the central part of the member (21) is supported by the projection (10b).  Therefore, the weight of the cassette shell of a magnetic disk cartridge is small and the productivity and quality of the shell are improved.

Filed: 1999-07-19
Abstract: A pusher unit is provided for shopping carts or other similar carrying vehicles which have a load area, non-castering rear wheels, castering front wheels and a pushing handle. The pusher unit is pivotally connected to a transverse bar at the rear of the cart, has its own power source, motor, and drive wheel, which wheel can rotate on a vertical axis. The operator sits on a seat atop the pusher unit and grasps the cart's handle, which is provided with a control unit, giving the operator control over the direction of travel, starting and stopping, and the speed of travel. A linkage is provided between the cart and the pusher unit such that when the operator steers the cart, to change direction, as by moving the handle thereof clockwise or counterclockwise, such movement is transmitted to the drive wheel to cause it to pivot on its vertical axis in a direction opposite to the steering movement. This improves the steering performance, allowing the articulated vehicle combination to go around sharp corners. By using the pusher unit of the invention people who may be physically challenged are able to shop in supermarkets and other large stores, using a full size cart and they can acquire as many items as other shoppers, without restriction, while still being able to take a child along, if desired.

Abstract: A worldwide logistics network includes a processing center for receiving customer orders for crystal oscillators over communications links, processing the orders, and generating work orders that are selectively disseminated over communications links to programming centers at strategic locations around the world. Each of the programming centers carries an inventory of generic programmable crystal oscillators. Upon receipt of a work order, a programming center withdraws quantity of programmable crystal oscillators from inventory sufficient to fill the customer order, and, using automated parts handling equipment, the oscillators are successively directed to an interface position with a computer. There, the unique crystal frequency of each oscillator is read and each oscillator is uniquely programmed on the basis of its crystal frequency to generate an output frequency meeting customer specification. Upon completion of this final manufacturing step, the programmed crystal oscillators are shipped to the customers directly from the programming centers.
