Abstract: In this transport system with several autonomous vehicles the user inputs his travel destination at a terminal (2). Subsequently, the boarding location and the allocated vehicle provided for carrying out the travel request is communicated in the form of a symbol (B3) on the terminal display (2.1) to the user. The boarding location is designated by (B) and the vehicle carrying out the travel request is designated by (3). The user now goes to the boarding location (B). In the interim, the first vehicle arrives at the boarding location (B), which is indicated on the display (4) by flashing by the symbol (B1).

Abstract: A cell for forming a composite hard material and hard materials and methods of forming composite hard materials are disclosed. A cell (10) in which the article is formed includes a talc outer sleeve (12), a glass sleeve (14) and a reflecting foil (22). A heater (18) is arranged inwardly of the foil (22) and a barrier layer (16) is arranged inwardly of the glass sleeve (14). A central column (20) is defined for receiving the charge of material (50) from which the hard composite material is to be formed. The charge material is located in a mould (76, 100) which can define the final shape of the article thereby avoiding the need for additional machining, and the mould and charge material are subject to high temperature and pressure to form the composite material whilst maintaining the charge subject to hydrostatic pressure during the application of pressure and high temperature and maintaining a low temperature gradient across the charge during formation of the composite hard material to reduce uneven pressurisation of the composite hard material. The article may also be formed by forming first and second mixtures (120, 130) of composite hard material so as to form an outer surface on the article which has a higher hard particle content than an interior core portion of the article.

Abstract: Biocompatible polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions, particularly based on biotechnologically produced homo- and copolymers of 4- hydroxybutyric acid, with controlled degradation rates have been developed.  In one embodiment, the polyhydroxyalkanoates contain additives like, for example, pore forming agents to alter the degradation rates. In another embodiment, the polyhydroxyalkanoates are formed of mixtures of monomers or include pendant groups or modifications in their backbones to alter their degradation rates. In still another embodiment, the polyhydroxyalkanoates are chemically modified. Methods for manufacturing the devices which increase porosity or exposed surface area can be used to alter degradability. As demonstrated by the examples, these polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions have extremely favorable mechanical properties, as well as are biocompatible and degrade within desirable time frames under physioogical conditions. These polyhydroxyalkanoate materials provide a wider range of polyhydroxyalkanoate degradation rates than are currently available. Methods for processing these materials, particularly for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic applications, or into devices which can be implanted or injected, are also described.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for cooling a lamp backlighting module (14) of a liquid crystal display (10). A preferred method of the present invention begins by providing a predetermined power input to a lamp (14). As power is provided to the lamp (14), the temperature of the lamp (14) is monitored. When the temperature of the lamp (14) rises to a first predetermined temperature, one or more fans (26, 28) are turned on which are adapted to dissipate the heat generated by the lamp (14). After the fan(s) (26, 28) cool the lamp (14) to a second, lower predetermined temperature, the fan(s) (26, 28) are turned off. By using a fan (26, 28) to dissipate heat generated by a lamp backlighting module (14), the present invention may maintain the temperature of the lamp (14) within a desired range. As a result, the present invention preferably increases the reliability and performance of the liquid crystal display (10). In particular, a preferred embodiment of the present invention minimizes the power necessary to achieve optimal luminance, and it enables the lamp (14) to constantly produce optimal luminance for a constant power input.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and Mobile Switching Center (MSC) for re-establishing a call in a communication system. The MSC receives from a network element a callback request to re-establish a call, such as an emergency call, between the network element and a mobile unit. The callback request includes a callback number. The MSC determines whether the callback number can be used to alert the mobile unit. If the callback number cannot be used to alert the mobile unit, the MSC determines an identification number of the mobile unit.      The MSC then alerts the mobile unit by utilizing the identification number of the mobile unit and re-establishes the call on the original call path between the mobile unit and the network element.

Ultérieurement, les canaux de longueur d'onde optique sont transmis par les guides d'ondes de connexion. Pour chaque structure (2, 4, 6, 8) de connexion transversale sélective à l'égard de la longueur d'onde, on change la phase d'une longueur d'onde de réflexion de deux éléments (C1, C2, D1, D2, E1, E2, F1, F2) de commande de phase placés dans un premier et dans un deuxième guides d'ondes de connexion sur un premier côté de ladite structure (2, 4, 6, 8) de connexion transversale sélective à l'égard de la longueur d'onde ; et simultanément, sur un deuxième côté de ladite structure (2, 4, 6, 8) de connexion transversale sélective à l'égard de la longueur d'onde, ladite phase de longueur d'onde de réflexion demeure relativement inchangée. Pour chaque structure (2, 4, 6, 8) de connexion transversale sélective à l'égard de la longueur d'onde, on change la phase pour transmettre des longueurs d'ondes dans un premier sens et dans un deuxième sens une fois par structure (2, 4, 6, 8) de connexion transversale sélective à l'égard de la longueur d'onde. La différence de phase entre le signal optique de chaque guide d'ondes d'accès prévu sur le premier côté du deuxième guide d'ondes (20) multimode détermine l'endroit où le signal optique se focalise sur le côté opposé.

Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A one-piece equine dental speculum having an open frame, extending from one side of a horse's mouth, across in front of the incisors to the opposite side of the mouth. Bite plates are affixed at the front of the speculum to engage the incisors when the speculum is fully inserted. Two V-shaped projections extending rearward from each end of the bite plates act as wedges to engage the incisors and force them towards the upper and lower bite plates, forcing the jaws apart. Simply, insertion requires placing the speculum frame around the horse's mouth, placing the V-shaped projections between the upper and lower incisors and pushing until the incisors are "walked" along the upper and lower surfaces of the V-shaped projections to open the jaws. Once fully inserted, the incisors are held in place at the bite plates preventing the jaws from closing. Nose and head straps hold the speculum in place in the horse's mouth. The projections are narrowly spaced to further prevent the user from inserting their hands into the opened horse's mouth, lowering the risk of injury to the user.
