Abstract: The laser transfer machining apparatus comprises a shaping unit (6) for shaping the laser beam so that the laser beam has a beam pattern which corresponds to a desired pattern to be machined in the object (8) to be machined and a generating unit (5) disposed separately from the shaping unit (6) for simultaneously generating a plurality of laser beams (11) each having the beam pattern from the laser beam shaped by the shaping unit (6). The generating unit (5) is adapted to emit the plural laser beams (11) while simultaneously defining a plurality of radiation directions of the generated plural laser beams to the object (8) to be machined. The laser transfer machining apparatus can provide a high efficiency of utilization of light and reduce the time required for machining. Furthermore, the laser transfer machining apparatus can utilize a laser with a relatively low spatially coherence such as an eximer laser.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for integrated evaporation and gasification of spent liquor from the production of cellulose, the gasification taking place in a reactor (1) at a pressure of from atmospheric pressure up to about 150 bar and at a temperature of about 500°-1600 °C, by partial combustion of the spent liquor, a gas phase and a phase of solid and/or smelted material being formed in the reactor and being removed therefrom. The invention is characterized in that the combustion gas obtained from the reactor (1) by partial combustion of the spent liquor is brought together in direct contact with spent liquor, which may have been pre-evaporated, in a first stage - for example a venturi scrubber -, with alkali metal compounds, etc., which have been gasified in the combustion gas, being returned to the reactor together with the concentrated spent liquor, after which the combustion gas, preferably in at least one additional stage, is permitted, directly or indirectly, to give off additional evaporation heat to the spent liquor.

Abstract: The invention comprises a transparent, molded undercap which fits over the open end of a lipstick type case from which a lipstick or other similar waxy mass is propelled and which engages the shoulder of the case normally engaged by the lipstick cap when it is in place. The undercap is sized to fit snuggly within the lipstick cap yet permit the cap to be removed while the undercap remains in place over the lipstick. Preferably, the open end of the undercap has a size and shape which is substantially identical to that of the cap so as to form an even closure with the lipstick case whereby a tamper indicating or resistant means, such as an adhesive tape or a shrink band, may be applied across the juncture between the undercap and the case to secure the undercap in place and seal the lipstick. In this manner, the lipstick cap may be removed from the lipstick case to view the lipstick while the undercap remains in place to protect the lipstick. When the lipstick case has a polygonal cross section, molding the undercap to fit the lipstick case also serves to prevent actuation of the propelling mechanism, even when the lipstick cap is removed, since it resists the relative rotation of the lipstick case and the lipstick tube which normally actuates the propelling mechanism. Alternatively, the case and undercap may be provided with other means, such as cooperating detents, whereby actuation of the propelling mechanism is prevented.

Date Jan. 25, 1996A method and apparatus for speech transmission in a telecommunications system in which a speech signal is compressed to a small number of speech coding bits by a speech coding method, and the speech coding bits are subjected to channel coding. Several different speech coding methods, which may all operate at different transmission rates, are involved in the speech transmission. The method is based on the use of two-stage channel coding. The first channel coding is dependent on the speech coding method, and it is performed in connection with the speech coding in such a manner that the total transmission rate provided by the speech coding and the first channel coding is always constant irrespective of the speech coding method. The second channel coding performed thereafter is always exactly the same regardless of the speech coding method and the first channel coding method, and it is used with all speech coding methods. The second channel coding may be, for example, the original channel coding in an existing telecommunications system.

Abstract: Un gestionnaire de réseau destiné à un réseau de télécommunications comporte une pile de communications (50) qui reçoit les messages du réseau de télécommunications relatifs aux éléments de celui-ci. Ces messages sont envoyés à un système de traitement de messages (52), dans lequel chaque message est identifié et analysé en fonction d'un ensemble de règles qui sont établies avant que le gestionnaire de réseau ne commence à recevoir des messages du réseau. Après identification et analyse, chaque message est traité selon un deuxième ensemble de règles qui peuvent être établies et modifiées pendant que le gestionnaire de réseau est en service et reçoit les messages. Le deuxième ensemble de règles est établi à partir d'un ensemble de règles types. Celles-ci permettent à l'utilisateur de définir un large assortiment d'opérations qui peuvent être exécutées sur les messages. Par exemple, les messages de certains types peuvent être corrélés, d'autres messages peuvent être transmis à des destinations données, et certains messages peuvent donner lieu à la génération d'autres messages. Des messages peuvent être envoyés, par exemple, à un gestionnaire de configuration (54) ou à un gestionnaire d'erreurs (56), et d'autres messages peuvent être envoyés à des équipements extérieurs au gestionnaire de réseau.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de contrôle de la glycémie (100), qui permet d'induire une impulsion active dans la circulation sanguine d'un patient. L'induction de cette impulsion se traduit par une modification cyclique et périodique du courant sanguin dans un milieu constitué de chair (310) placé sous contrôle. En induisant activement une modification de la circulation sanguine, il est possible de moduler le volume de sang afin d'entraîner une augmentation du rapport signal/bruit. Cela permet de détecter les constituants du sang à des niveaux de concentration inférieurs aux niveaux décelés antérieurement avec un système non invasif. Le rayonnement qui traverse le milieu constitué de chair est décelé par un détecteur (320) qui engendre un signal indiquant l'intensité du rayonnement décelé. Un traitement est appliqué aux signaux électriques afin d'isoler les charactéristiques optiques des signaux électriques en question qui sont imputables aux charactéristiques optiques du sang.
