Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'imagerie à cristaux liquides, à réponse rapide et à contraste élevé. L'élément d'imagerie (901) utilise un composite de cristaux liquides (c'est à dire, constitué de cristaux liquides encapsulés) dont l'épaisseur est inférieure à 4 microns, et de préférence inférieure à 2,5 microns. L'élément d'imagerie est éclairé par au moins une source de lumière (903) placée de manière à faire un angle inférieur à 30 degrés par rapport à la normale à l'affichage. Le système de vision (1307) est placé du même côté de l'affichage que la source de lumière, de manière pratiquement normale à l'affichage. Dans une réalisation, le composite de cristaux liquides est soumis à un fonctionnement en mode inversé et une image virtuelle est créée. Dans une autre réalisation, au moins trois sources de lumière de couleurs différentes éclairent un élément d'imagerie à cristaux liquides. Les sources sont toutes placées à un angle faisant à peu près 30 degrés avec la normale à l'élément d'imagerie. Un microprocesseur (1311) est couplé à la fois aux sources de lumière (903) et à l'élément d'imagerie (901), ce qui permet ainsi de synchroniser les sources individuelles à lumière colorée avec la sortie de l'élément d'imagerie.

Abstract: In the method for changing linear load on a reel-up which comprises an initial reeling device (9), a reeling shaft (1), a surface drive apparatus or the like, and a loading device (8) for the reeling process taking place after initial reeling, the reeling begins as a so-called initial reeling in the initial reeling device (9) from which the reeling shaft (1) and the initial portion of the reel formed thereon is transferred to the loading device by means of which the stages following the formation of the initial portion of the reel are conducted, in such a manner that the part (8) of the loading device which transmits load to the reeling shaft (1) is brought in contact with the reeling shaft (1). The force devices of the initial reeling device (9) and the loading device are primarily utilized to effect the linear load in the nip between the reel formed around the reeling shaft (1) and the surface drive apparatus or the like, the linear load being adjusted during the reeling by means of force devices in such a manner that the desired linear load is attained as a function of given factors. The contact of the part (8) that transmits load to the reeling shaft takes place when the loading device is substantially in a state devoid of loading force.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying and creating links that allow the user to more accurately and completely view and measure the relationships it has with its customers and the relationships its customers have with other customers. A  method and system has been created for determining the value of the customer or group of customers in the case of a household based on the criteria the user desires to utilize for the analysis being performed. The method for determining these relationships and the system of organizing the data allow for flexible analysis of all the key economic units by which a user might wish to analyze the data. These economic units include: individual at a specific address, household as defined as a specific address, household as defined as an economic buying unit at multiple addresses, or corporation/organization.  The data can be further organized and analysis performed using additional criteria the system defines including whether a link to a corporation is Direct or Affinity. It can also include the value of selected types of relationships of customers with other customers any number of links from the target customer. The system is used to make better decisions about how to manage the customer relationship, often referred to as one-to-one marketing.  An analogue of this system may also be developed in pharmacology for the tracking of compounds in drugs and their resultant effect on disease.
