Patent EP-0927566-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LEGARDA INANEZ JUAN
IPC: A63F13/10
Filed: 1998-06-24
Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for interactively
simulating and discouraging drug taking behavior, in which
a simulated ingestion of drugs provides an initial enhanced
sensation of movement and sound, and apparent enhanced player
performance. After a determined time, the effect wears off,
the player must take time to obtain and take another dose.
The scenario is repeated, but with each repetition, tolerance
to the drug grows, the "highs" are shorter, and a growing
percentage of the player's time must be devoted to obtaining
and taking the drugs. A series of repetitions turns initial
elation into frustration and strongly discourages drug use.
The invention is illustrated by an implementation in the
form of a modified multimedia motorcycle racing game.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de conception et d'empaquetage mécanique des éléments d'un résonateur laser à pompage optique qui permettent de réduire la taille de ces derniers au minimum. Tous les éléments de l'ensemble résonateur compact (5) laser à pompage optique sont placés sur un socle monobloc (10) qui joue le rôle d'un puits de chaleur de la diode laser, d'un socle de la cavité du résonateur laser, et d'un banc optique. La cavité laser optique, qui a la forme d'un trajet laser (11) défini à l'intérieur du socle monobloc (10), comprend plusieurs courbures (40), qui permettent de réduire la taille de l'ensemble. Les éléments optiques du résonateur laser comprennent des prismes de renvoi (22, 24), un réflecteur (38), un rétroreflecteur (32) et un Q-switch optique intracavité (30). Cet assemblage permet d'obtenir un laser pompé à réseau miniaturisé de diodes qui possède un volume inférieur à un pouce cube, des dimensions inférieures ou égales à environ 30 mm x 25 mm x 13 mm et un poids n'excédant pas deux onces ou 56 g, sa puissance laser étant pourtant supérieure à 1 mJ. De préférence, on fabrique le résonateur compact laser à pompage par l'usinage du socle monobloc (10) au moyen d'une machine pilotée par ordinateur afin de créer plusieurs socles pour composants ayant tous des configurations et des tolérances sensiblement identiques, ce qui permet de garder autoaligné le résonateur.

Abstract: On peut concentrer des solutions diluées de sels de fermentation par extraction d'eau au moyen d'amines secondaires et tertiaires peu miscibles présentant un poids moléculaire bas, par exemple triéthylamine (TEA), diisopropylamine (DIA), N,N-diéthylméthylamine (DEMA) et leurs mélanges. A 30 °C-55 °C, ce qui correspond à des températures de fermentation typiques, ces amines ou leurs mélanges peuvent extraire des quantités importantes d'eau depuis des solutions aqueuses diluées contenant des sels de fermentation. On peut, de ce fait, concentrer des solutions diluées de sels de fermentation par suppression sélective d'eau. A ces températures basses, la phase amine contient 20-35 % d'eau et une quantité très diminuée de sel de fermentation. Quand on élève la température, la phase aqueuse sort de l'amine, ce qui permet de recycler l'amine et de l'utiliser de nouveau afin d'extraire une quantité supplémentaire d'eau. Grâce à ce procédé, on peut supprimer 82,5 % d'eau depuis une solution diluée à 3 % au moyen d'une extraction classique à contre-courant à étapes multiples et, par conséquent, obtenir une solution de sel de fermentation concentrée à 15 %.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de navigation qui utilise un réseau routier numérisé, mémorisé dans une mémoire non volatile pour déterminer un itinéraire de déplacement, d'un point de départ à un point de destination. Un itinéraire partiel est calculé à partir du point de départ jusqu'à un point de destination intermédiaire. Les manoeuvres pour cet itinéraire partiel sont générées et transmises à l'utilisateur pour le guider avant même que l'itinéraire complet jusqu'au point de destination soit entièrement calculé. Une fois l'itinéraire complet calculé du point de départ au point de destination, cet itinéraire complet chevauche l'itinéraire partiel pour définir un point d'intersection entre les deux . Les maneuves proposées pour cet itinéraire complet sont ensuite générées, en commençant à partir du point d'intersection.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and a process of fabricating
same are provided, in which the hysteresis characteristic
of a ferroelectric material is not easily deteriorated and
which has high reliability under high humidity conditions.
A passivation film 42 of a dense silicon nitride film is
formed to cover a ferroelectric capacitor Cf, so that
intrusion of moisture from outside can be prevented. The
volume percentage of SiH 4  and NH 3 , which are hydrogen-containing
gases contained in a film forming gas for the
passivation film 42, is set to a low level. Also,
adjustment is made so as to reduce a hydrogen concentration
in the passivation film 42. Further, an upper electrode 36
for the ferroelectric capacitor Cf has a two-layered
structure in which IrO 2  and Ir are stacked in this order.
By this expedience, the amount of hydrogen generated during
the film forming process and the amount of hydrogen in the
passivation film 42 after the film formation thereof are
small. Moreover, it is possible to prevent, in a certain
degree, hydrogen from arriving at a ferroelectric layer 34.
Namely, deterioration of hysteresis characteristic of the
ferroelectric capacitor Cf material due to hydrogen can be
prevented.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved RACH access burst arrangement and
frame structure. That is, the invention provides methods and apparatus for supporting
more than one access burst length in the UMTS access channel structure. Preferably,
two access burst lengths are supported, e.g., 5 ms and 10 ms. Such an arrangement is
advantageous in applications where it is beneficial to have fast access latency such as, for
example, voice or other forms of real-time traffic. Also, the invention provides methods
and apparatus for supporting multiple frame sizes. It is to be appreciated that further
enhancement to access latency can be obtained by having the UMTS physical layer
support multiple frame sizes. The access burst signal transmitted by a remote terminal
over the RACH may be an access request or data packets in the case where the RACH is
being utilized for UMTS short message services.
