Inventor: OTA TAKASHI
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1996-02-21
Abstract: The present invention aims to prevent formation of defect or break-off at ridges of fixing grooves of optical fiber-fixing substrates (1) when an optical fiber is received in the fixing groove (3) or when an end surface of the substrate is polished by a grinding work. For that purpose, the ridges (4) of the fixing grooves of the substrate have a curvature of radius of not less than 5 µm over the entire portion of the ridges viewed in the lateral cross-sectional view of the fixing grooves. Preferably, the bottoms of the fixing grooves of the substrate have a curvature of radius of not more than 5 µm viewed in the lateral cross-sectional view of the fixing groove. The fixing grooves may be produced by press forming.

Patent EP-0801553-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COOK CHARLES DENVER
IPC: A01N25/34
Filed: 1996-01-02
Abstract: A pouch package, containing a volatile solution-impregnated patch, is made of a peelable barrier film. The pouch envelops an absorbent substrate saturated preferably with bug repellent fluid. A PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) coated backing film is laminated to the absorbent substrate. The backing film has a connecting portion which is peelably sealed to the inside of the pouch. When the pouch is peeled open, the PSA coated backing film is exposed and placed against a target surface, such as a patch wearer's clothing. Finally, the side of the pouch facing the absorbent substrate is peeled off the backing film connecting portion to expose the absorbent substrate. A key to functionality of the pouch package is differential adhesion. First, the pouch barrier film must be peelable from itself, yet it must not adhere to the pressure sensitive adhesive on the backing film. A release paper may be used to cover the PSA when peeling the pouch open. Second, the pouch film must be peelable from the backing film connecting portion without disturbing the bond between the fastening surface and the target surface. Third, the backing film must be laminated to the absorbent substrate more strongly than the PSA adheres to the backing film, so that when the patch is removed from the target surface, the PSA stays with the patch.

Title: Noyau de selecteur atm
Inventor: LAZRAQ TAWFIK
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: Un sélecteur ATM pour des vitesses de transmission élevées est réalisé avec des noyaux sélecteurs primaires (7). Un trajet pour une cellule à travers le sélecteur est déterminé à l'arrivée de la cellule au sélecteur et ce trajet est codé comme un mot de commande qui est transféré par le sélecteur parallèlement à la cellule elle-même. Le mot de commande indique directement comment le transfert à travers chaque élément primaire du sélecteur doit se faire. Chaque élément primaire (7) doit avoir seulement deux entrées (13) et deux sorties (21). Le mot de commande consiste alors en un bit pour chaque étage des éléments sélecteurs primaires dans le sélecteur et ce bit indique directement la sortie à partir de laquelle la cellule va être dirigée depuis un élément donné du sélecteur. Les noyaux (7) du sélecteur comprennent des mémoires intermédiaires (9), une pour chaque paire constituée d'une entrée (13) et d'une sortie (21), et ces mémoires intermédiaires peuvent avoir une capacité plutôt limitée pour mémoriser uniquement quelques cellules et leurs mots de commande associés. Le mot de commande indique, pour une cellule arrivant à une entrée, la mémoire intermédiaire (7) où la cellule doit être mémorisée de manière intermédiaire. Les mémoires intermédiaires peuvent être constituées de registres à décalage et des unités indépendantes peuvent gérer la mémorisation des cellules et leur retransmission (33) depuis le noyau (7) du sélecteur.

IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: The method involves measuring the transition time of electrical and/or acoustic signals generated by a spark in the cable on both sides of the spark. The distances of the fault (8) from the ends of the cable are derived from the transition times. Sensors at both ends of the cable detect electrical pulses (17-19) and determine the exact time of arrival of the pulses using synchronised timing stages. The pulse transition times are derived from the time difference of the arrival of the pulses at the cable ends.

Abstract: A message and billing system and method is provided for transmitting a
reply message over a communications network from a called party's message service
system to a calling party's message service system. Prior to transmitting a message to a
called party, a calling party's message service system prompts the calling party to specify
whether a prepaid reply is authorized. Based upon the calling party's response to the
prompt, the calling party's message service system generates a message file associated with
the message, which includes a prepaid reply field indicating whether a prepaid reply was
authorized by the calling party. The message file is transmitted over a communications
network to the called party's message service system and the called party's message service
system identifies whether a prepaid reply had been authorized by the calling party based
upon the prepaid reply field of the message file. Upon the called party's transmission of a
reply message to the calling party's original message, the called party's message service
system generates a reply message detail record having a prepaid reply field indicating
whether the calling party had authorized a prepaid reply. When the prepaid reply field of
the reply message detail record indicates that the calling party authorized a prepaid reply,
the calling party is charged a fee for the transmission of the reply message. Alternatively, 
when the prepaid reply field of the reply message detail record indicates that the calling
party had not authorized a prepaid reply, the called party is charged a fee for the
transmission of the reply message.

Abstract: In a method for transmission and reception over N
transmission channels, the transmitting side performs
orthonormal transform processing of N-channel modulated
signals so that the resulting transformed output signals have
lower cross-correlation, and the transformed N-channel signals
are multiplexed and transmitted over the N-channels. At the
receiving side, the N-channel received signals are subjected
to inverse orthonormal transform processing to obtain N-channel
modulated signals, which are demodulated to obtain a
digital signal.

Abstract: In order to hide message information (m) in media information (M), the frequency
transform of the message information (m) and the media information (M) are
performed, and frequency spectra f 1  and f 2  are obtained. Next, from the frequency
spectrum f 2  of the message information (m), a region containing feature frequency
components representative of the features of the message information (m) in real
space is extracted as the base region B. Then, n copies of the base region B are
generated, and in frequency space, the n copies are dispersedly arranged. Also, by
making the frequency components other than that equal to zero, a frequency
spectrum f 3  is generated as intermediate information. Finally, the frequency
spectrum f 3  and the frequency spectrum f 1  are added, and by performing the inverse
frequency transform of the result, the message information (m) can be hidden in
the media information (M).
