Abstract: Dans le cadre de cette technique et du système correspondant permettant de procéder automatiquement à des achats par le truchement de a télévision, la numérotation téléphonique est faite automatiquement pour l'achat de produits. Une information auxiliaire communiquée par la programmation télévisée fournit à l'utilisateur une icône ou une zone sélectables correspondant à un article, à un produit ou à un service à acquérir. L'icône peut être une partie d'une annonce ou constituer celle-ci, laquelle annonce est dissociée de la programmation télévisée ou peut lui être associée. La sélection de l'icône par l'utilisateur au moyen d'un système de commande démarre le processus de prise d'ordre par établissement d'une connexion de canal de retour partant de la télévision et à destination d'un modem/ordinateur de centre d'appel spécialisé, de préférence à l'aide du modem de la télévision. Des données utilisateur précédemment mémorisées par la télévision peuvent être initialement communiquées à l'ordinateur du centre d'appel. Un message s'affichant à l'écran indique à l'utilisateur qu'il peut s'entretenir en direct avec un agent, une fois celui-ci disponible, pour effectuer la transaction tandis que le téléviseur coupe la connexion pour permettre à l'utilisateur et à l'agent de continuer leur conversation, mais avec un échange minimal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and equipment for preparing highly polymerized aromatic polycarbonate by postpolymerizing polycarbonate prepolymer. The polycarbonate prepolymer is formed by the melt transesterification of carbonate ester and diol compound. The polycarbonate prepolymer is postpolymerized using a horizontal tubular reactor comprising rotational plates, several separated compartments divided by the rotational plates, and vents. The degree of polycarbonate polymerization can be continuously controlled by regulating the residence time of reactants in the reactor compartments. This is achieved in the present invention by regulating the rate of polycarbonate prepolymer injection into the reactor. Discoloration of final products can be prevented in the present invention by discharging byproduct(s), aromatic alcohol, from the reactor compartment through a vent.

Abstract: A method of treating a woven fabric of thermoplastic synthetic fibres to produce a two-way stretchable fabric (20) which comprises providing a fabric (20) having stretch characteristics in the width direction, applying heat and pressure to the fabric (20) in such a manner that the yarn strands substantially across the width of the fabric (20) are forced closer together thus imparting stretch into the fabric (20) in the length direction. The fabric (20) material is a synthetic material which is thermoplastic and can be heat set, such as a polyester or polyamide textile material. Stretch in the width direction (normally the weft direction) may be produced conventionally, but owing to processing constraints, it is not normally as easy to produce as much stretch in the length (or warp) direction. By subjecting such a fabric (20) to compressive shrinkage, the stretch in the warp direction is increased. Moreover, owing to the thermoplastic nature of the yarns, this stretch is heat set and is therefore "permanent".

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for stopping iterative decoding in a turbo decoder performing iterative decoding on a received frame comprised of information bits and then outputting the iteratively decoded results. A turbo decoder sequentially outputs absolute LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) values associated with the respective information bits of the received frame by the iterative decoding, and stops the iterative decoding in response to a stop command for the iterative decoding. A minimum LLR detector selects a minimum value M(i) among the sequentially output absolute LLR values. A controller issues a command to stop the iterative decoding, if the minimum value M(i) is larger than a first threshold determined based on a minimum value Fmin among absolute LLR values output through previous iterative decoding. <IMAGE>
