Title: Three-dimensional virtual reality space sharing method, a three-dimensional virtual reality space sharing system, an information recording medium, an information recording method,an information transmission medium, an information transmission method, an information processing method, and a shared server terminal
Inventor: HONDA YASUAKI
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: The dynamic control of object identification codes involved in the customization such as object addition and deletion by users is facilitated. Each of client terminals 13-1 through 13-3 sets given local IDs obj101 through obj103 for a cylindrical object, a quadrangular prism object, and a conical object independently of the other client terminals. Tables T131 through T133 are registered in a server terminal 11-1 beforehand for the client terminals 13-1 and 13-3 respectively. The tables T131 through T133 each list the relationship between local IDs obj101 through obj103 of the objects controlled by the corresponding client terminal and the global IDs objA through objC controlled by the server terminal 11-1. Use of these tables T131 through T133 allows the client terminals 13-1 through 13-3 to separately set, add or delete the local IDs obj101 through obj103.

Title: Link state routing device in atm communication system
Inventor: IWATA ATSUSHI
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 1996-07-17
Abstract: A link state routing device reduces amount of link state information exchanged in a network irrespective of number of links connecting between adjacent switches.          Hello protocol portion detects adjacent switches in the network, to which respective of links are connected. A link abstracted portion obtains an abstracted link by virtually aggregating a plurality of links connected to the same switch, and generates a link state with respect to abstracted link with uniting link state information of a plurality of links. The link state update protocol portion has link topology information synchronized in the network by distributing the abstracted link state information with flooding mechanism. Since the abstracted link represents a plurality of links, information amount to be distributed can be reduced.

Abstract: On peut produire et purifier des protéines à partir du lait d'animaux transgéniques. Ces peptides sont transformés en protéines de fusion à l'aide d'un agent de fusion approprié tel que l'.alpha.-lactalbumine, qui est une protéine naturelle du lait. Cette protéine à agent de fusion agit afin de promouvoir la sécrétion des peptides et, au moins dans le cas de l'.alpha.-lactalbumine, permet une purification en une seule étape basée sur une affinité spécifique. Le peptide est libéré de la protéine de fusion purifiée par une étape de clivage simple, et il est purifié hors de l'.alpha.-lactalbumine maintenant libérée par répétition du même procédé de purification par affinité. Un des avantages de production des peptides par ce moyen, outre les avantages évidents constitués par un rendement élevé et une biocompatibilité, réside en ce que l'on peut effectuer dans la glande mammaire des modifications spécifiques post-traductionnelles, telles qu'une amidation carboxy terminale.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Decoding Two-Dimensional Symbols in the Spatial Domain
Inventor: ZHENG JOE
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1995-06-01
Abstract: A method and system for decoding a two-dimensional optical symbol in the spatial domain. The system determines the orientation of an imaged symbol in the spatial domain by using a template to derive a correlation coefficient between radially adjacent signals at a given angle of the template and comparing the correlation coefficients as the template is rotated with respect to the image. The angle of the highest correlation coefficient corresponds to the orientation of a set of symbol axes which include contiguous elements whose centers are collinear. The system then locates each individual information-encoded element of the symbol by using segments of the symbol defined by the axes, first adjusting for each segment the axis position and element size for subsequent determination of the location of all elements for decoding. The system is disclosed as applied to a symbol constructed as a matrix of hexagonal information-encoding elements arranged in a square, with, at its center, an acquisition target consisting of six concentric rings of alternating light and dark reflectivity. Also disclosed is a method for locating an acquisition target consisting of a plurality of concentric rings of alternating levels of reflectivity (bulls-eye pattern) in two-dimensional symbologies. Such targets may be found even if they vary in size and tilt angle with respect to an imaging camera. Symmetry characteristics of the targets are used to locate the targets independent of the threshold level selected for determining transitions between rings of different reflectivity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A problem which has plagued bagpipers since the invention of the highland bagpipe, is that of moisture condensation on the reeds and inside of the instrument. This condensation both reduces instrument life and adversely affects the tone of the notes being played. My invention, which will be described in the following pages, is a moisture trap for the practice chanter which can be periodically emptied with ease at the player's convenience. This invention causes the formation of water droplets (from moisture in the air stream) to occur in a location of the instrument which does not cause any problems with the tone or operation of the instrument.

Title: Crimped tube-to-port hydraulic fittings
Inventor: WILLIAMSON NIGEL D L
IPC: F16L27/093
Filed: 1995-06-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved hydraulic coupling which forms contact seals to fluidly connect a tube to a tapered port by crimping (tube-to--port). The contact seal includes a metal-to-metal seal with a secondary elastomeric seal. A crimped collar (409) of the port retains a compression ring (308) in a metal-to-metal contact. Another embodiment of the invention provides a transverse fluid coupling (401) for a tube (405) with the port (404) being part of the bolt/body assembly (402/403) of a "banjo" coupling. The crimped collar of the present invention is removed from the contact seal so that flexural forces and vibration of the coupling can be better resisted. The port, tube, and compression ring define a pocket (413) for the location of a sealing ring (407) disposed in the pocket. The pocket has a cross-sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area of the sealing ring. The tube may include a lip (410) having an outwardly facing tapered surface substantially complementary to the tapered surface (406) of the port. The compression ring includes an internal angled seat (414) contacting the tube. The compression ring also includes a reverse taper (417) contacting the collar so that the reverse taper facilitates the collar retaining the compression ring into sealing contact with the tapered surface.
