Abstract: A method and system for placing an order to purchase an item via the
Internet. The order is placed by a purchaser at a client system and received by a server
system. The server system receives purchaser information including identification of the
purchaser, payment information, and shipment information from the client system. The
server system then assigns a client identifier to the client system and associates the
assigned client identifier with the received purchaser information. The server system
sends to the client system the assigned client identifier and an HTML document
identifying the item and including an order button. The client system receives and stores
the assigned client identifier and receives and displays the HTML document. In response
to the selection of the order button, the client system sends to the server system a request
to purchase the identified item. The server system receives the request and combines the
purchaser information associated with the client identifier of the client system to generate
an order to purchase the item in accordance with the billing and shipment information
whereby the purchaser effects the ordering of the product by selection of the order button.

Abstract: A process (100) for implementing shading corrections in a video projector (10).
The process (100) selects a color to be shaded, and then sets a projector video level
at a selected high video level (204). A target brightness map is then generated for
each of a plurality of preselected shading correction application points at the selected
high video level (206). The process sets the projector video level at a selected low
video level, and generates a target brightness map for each of the plurality of shading
correction application points at the low video level (212). Actual light levels are then
measured at both the high and low video levels for each shading correction
application point, and differences between the target and measured brightness values
are minimized (226). The shading process of the present invention is automatically
preformed during projector set-up, and thereby eliminates the inherent subjective and
time consuming need for conventional manual shading processes.

Abstract: A method for channel estimation in a cellular communication
system is disclosed. Data is transmitted with variable data
transmission rates as a plurality of data symbols over a sequence
of time slots. Each time slot has at least a proportion
containing data symbols, the proportion being dependent on the
data transmission rate. An estimate of the transmission rate is
determined and is used in channel estimation so that the channel
estimation is based on received data symbols. 
     Signal receiving circuitry for use in a cellular communication
system implementing the above technique is also described. 
     This overcomes the difficulties of channel estimation based only
on pilot symbols.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de suspension, utile en particulier pour un véhicule actionné par pédales, qui comporte une barre comprimée télescopique possédant un premier et un deuxième éléments engagés de façon télescopique et coaxiale, et qui possède un système amortisseur comprenant un fluide amortisseur, un piston amortisseur connecté à une tige de piston, un mécanisme de commande de débit de fluide de compression activé par inertie, et un mécanisme de commande de débit de fluide de compression activé par pression placés dans la première barre comprimée. Le mécanisme de commande de débit de fluide de compression activé par inertie comporte un corps de soupape sollicité par un ressort de soupape dans une première position au-dessus d'un sillon radial formé sur le piston, de sorte que le corps de soupape empêche le fluide de s'écouler dans un circuit d'écoulement de fluide de compression activé par inertie en réponse à l'application de forces sur le cadre du véhicule. Le ressort de soupape et le corps de soupape sont connectés à la tige de piston qui s'étend dans le premier élément télescopique et est fixée à la roue du véhicule, de sorte que le corps de soupape peut être déplacé dans une deuxième position permettant un écoulement de fluide dans le circuit d'écoulement de fluide de compression activé par inertie par l'application de forces sur la roue du véhicule. Du fait que le mécanisme de commande de débit de fluide activé par inertie est activé par inertie et non par pression, une force d'impact appliquée sur la roue du véhicule provoque un écoulement de fluide dans les circuits d'écoulement activés par pression et par inertie, alors que des forces telles que celles provenant du pédalage, d'un déplacement de poids et de forces d'accélération ou de décélération ne provoquent pas d'écoulement de fluide dans le circuit activé par inertie. Pour cette raison, le système de suspension résiste à l'absorption d'énergie d'entraînement des pédales, produit un effet d'égalisation de course et fournit une large plage de réglage du système amortisseur.
