Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle approche de la diffusion des réclames et d'autres informations par réseau d'ordinateurs. La réclame payée par le publiciste, consiste à acheter et à vendre 'l'attention' des consommateurs. Ce système peut être utilisée pour payer, directement et immédiatement, un consommateur pour regarder une réclame ou une autre information similaire. Les mécanismes de paiement peuvent consister à créditer un compte ou à transférer des liquidités électroniques directement au terminal de l'utilisateur. Ce système de publicité 'orthogonale' brise la liaison entre la réclame et le contenu du programme, en permettant aux publicistes de délimiter explicitement leur public cible et d'offrir une certaine forme de compensation aux spectateurs acceptant de voir leurs réclames, pour le temps qu'il y ont consacré. Cette compensation peut s'accorder directement ou indirectement au destinaire, ou servir à d'autres usages. La liaison entre la réclame et les spectateurs appropriés se fait grâce à une banque de données contenant des profils démographiques mémorisés sous forme numérique sur les utilisateurs potentiels. Ces réclames peuvent être considérées comme ayant 'un coût négatif' parce que le consommateur est payé pour l'attention qu'il leur accorde. Des publicistes concurrents peuvent faire des offres pour qu'en contrepartie les consommateurs accordent leur attention, en utilisant des systèmes électroniques automatique du type 'vente aux enchères'. Les données confidentielles sur les différents consommateurs ne peuvent être divulguées qu'avec leur permission. Les consommateurs peuvent être payés pour permettre la divulgation de cette information. L'information peut être acheminée en fonction de données démographiques. Un icône spécial, ou un autre symbole affiché sur l'écran de l'ordinateur, peut représenter la compensation et permettre à l'utilisateur de choisir s'il veut voir l'information et recevoir la compensation associée. Ces concepts peuvent être étendus aux entreprises commerciales pour permettre aux vendeurs et aux acheteurs d'entrer facilement en contact et de négocier leurs transactions. Des vendeurs de logiciels ou des fournisseurs d'informations, peuvent utiliser ce système pour chercher des consommateurs intéressés ou des diffuseurs d'informations intéressés.

Abstract: A radio broadcasting signal and a television broadcasting signal in reception is certainly retrieved in the next service area reached. A listener or viewer sets a listening or viewing information of a desired broadcasting content (genre) through an input portion. Together with the listening or viewing information, a current position information is output to position detecting means to a retrieving portion. The retrieving portion retrieves a storage medium for optimal information of broadcasting medium and frequency on the basis of the position information and the listening or viewing information. The retrieving portion outputs the retrieving result information to the channel selecting portion. The channel selecting portion sets the frequency for receiving the broadcasting medium with respect to the broadcasting signal receiver on the basis of the retrieving result information for automatic receiving. When the receiver travels away from the current service area and enters into the next service area, the broadcasting station in the next service area broadcasting the same genre of broadcasting content among the receivable stations, can be automatically tuned to continue reception.

Abstract: The fastening consists of at least one strap (3) situated in the instep zone of the boot, made with a supple and flexible padding (6) on the boot side of the strap. The padding is designed to distribute the pressure from the strap against the instep so that the central pressure zone corresponding to the position of the big toe tendon is lower that the lateral pressure on either side of it. The strap's pressure distribution is achieved by having a central recess in the padding and thicker portions on either side of it to create a space for the tendon. The thicker portions are ovoid in shape, with their tips towards the central recess so that they conform to the ergonomic shape of the instep. The padding can be made from materials of different densities, with a lower density material in the middle of the strap which is able to compress to absorb the tendon, produced e.g. by moulding or sewing a foam material inside a flexible sleeve.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributing, generating,
and redeeming discount coupons, rebate or gift certificates
or the like tracks each coupon using a consumer ID number
printed on the coupon. Coupons may be distributed
electronically, for example, in the form of a diskette or
CD-ROM software. Software on the diskette or CD-ROM may
prompt a consumer to call a 1-800 number for a validation
number or code. During the phone call, telemarketing
personnel may request consumer demographic and or
identification information which may be entered into a
centralized database. Once the software is validated, a
consumer may print out selected coupons displayed on a
Graphical User Interface (GUI). Each coupon may be printed
only a limited number of times. Each coupon may be
imprinted with a consumer ID number, preferably in the form
of a bar code. Once redeemed, consumer ID information and
coupon information may be retrieved from coupons forwarded
to a coupon clearing house. Accurate data may then be
produced illustrating which consumers or groups of consumers
are redeeming which coupons. Such data may be used for
marketing purposes or to generated further diskettes for
distribution targeting specific consumers or groups of
consumers with specific classes of coupon offerings. The
use of a consumer ID number on the coupon may reduce or
prevent the fraudulent copying and redemption of coupons, as
multiple redemptions of a single coupon by a consumer may be
readily detected from data gathered at the brokerage
clearing house.

Abstract: A method of producing a multi-ply paperboard
product. A single aqueous recycled pulp stock which
contains both heavy contaminants and lightweight contaminants
is separated into three fractions, including a
first fraction which contains the heavy contaminants, a
second middle density fraction that contains the most
desirable fibers, and a third low density fraction that
contains the lightweight contaminants. The three fractions
are discharged from a multi-channel head box onto a
forming fabric, with the middle density fraction constituting
the base ply in contact with the forming
fabric, the low density fraction being the central ply
and the high density fraction being the outer ply, thus
forming a multiple-ply paperboard product.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of correcting the determination of positions of workpieces and tools which can be moved relative to one another in machine tools, in particular CNC machining centres, by means of measuring systems internal to the machines. Machining inaccuracies caused by changes in the positions of the workpiece and/or tool owing to heat in the working region of the tool can be avoided if the workpiece and tool are moved with associated measuring points or measuring edges through a stationary optical test barrier, simultaneously or at short intervals one after the other. If the test barrier is interrupted, the respective positions of the workpiece and tool are determined by means of the measuring system internal to the machine. The positions determined are compared with stored positions determined during a previous measurement, and the difference between the determined position and the stored position is used to correct the machine control. The invention further concerns a machine for carrying out the method.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un débitmètre à dérivation permettant de mesurer le débit d'une matière dans un conduit. Une chute de pression optimale peut être générée dans le débitmètre (104) en couplant la sortie (107) de matière du débitmètre à la gorge d'un venturi (108) disposé à l'intérieur du conduit (101). Cette chute de pression accrue permet d'améliorer le débit de la matière à travers le débitmètre, et d'accroître la précision et la sensibilité de ce dernier, ainsi que sa capacité à mesurer des débits massiques de matières de faible densité, tel que du gaz. Le rapport entre le débit de la matière dans le débitmètre et le débit dans la conduite peut être dérivé. Les informations concernant le débit de la matière dans le conduit sont obtenues, pour des matières possédant une viscosité variable, à l'aide d'un capteur de pression différentielle (134), lequel mesure la chute de pression dans le débitmètre, puis transmet ces informations à des instruments qui vont en dériver, avec une plus grande précision, les informations concernant le débit de la matière dans le conduit. Dans un autre mode de réalisation où l'on n'utilise pas de venturi, on procède de la même manière afin de dériver le rapport du débit de la matière entre le débitmètre et le conduit, puis de dériver le débit total de la matière dans le conduit.
