Abstract: L'invention concerne un moyen réfléchissant comprenant des substrats (11b, 11c), qui réfléchit sélectivement un rayonnement électromagnétique dont la fréquence se trouve entre 3 x 109 Hz et 1013 Hz, et qui comprend, par exemple, une couche de silicium de résistivité élevée, sur laquelle le rayonnement 12 est amené à être incident, et des moyens pour générer sélectivement des porteurs de charge dans la couche pour réfléchir le rayonnement, par exemple, par l'éclairage d'une face du substrat par un rayonnement électromagnétique dont la longueur d'onde se trouve entre 5 µm et 10 nm afin de générer les porteurs de charge. Le moyen réfléchissant peut former une partie d'un dispositif d'imagerie dans lequel une scène devant être imagée est éclairée par un rayonnement qui passe à travers le moyen réfléchissant dans un agencement coaxial, le rayonnement réfléchi étant reçu par l'élément réfléchissant, tandis que la région réfléchissante est balayée sur toute sa surface, pour produire un flux de rayonnement réfléchi à partir de la scène qui peut être détecté et utilisé pour commander un dispositif d'affichage. Le bruit produit par la réflexion à partir des zones du moyen réfléchissant autres que l'endroit balayé peut être réduit par des polariseurs croisés, et les substrats peuvent être rainurés pour former les polariseurs, ainsi que pour simplifier l'agencement de balayage. D'autres applications ont pour but la détection d'une signature chimique.

Abstract: A material for use in building construction (partition, wall, ceiling, floor or door) that exhibits improved acoustical sound proofing and fracture characteristics optimized for efficient installation. The material comprises a laminated structure having as an integral part thereof one or more layers of viscoelastic material which also functions both as a glue and as an energy dissipating layer; and one or more constraining layers, such as gypsum or cement-based panel products modified for easy fracture. In one embodiment, standard paper-faced wallboard, typically gypsum, comprises the external surfaces of the laminated structure with the inner surface of said wallboard being bare with no paper or other material being placed thereon. The resulting structure improves the attenuation of sound transmitted through the structure while also allowing installation of the sound proofing material as efficiently as the installation of standard material when the sound proofing material is used alone or incorporated into a partition assembly.

Abstract: A method for screening applicants includes remotely accessing a screening entity's web page by a potential candidate. The candidate is asked, via the pre-screening web page, to input responses to a set of queries tailored to the screening entity and the candidate's responses to the queries are stored. A phone call is automatically initiated to the candidate in response to at least one of the candidate's responses. An interactive information gathering process is started with the candidate using both the telephone and the computer. In the process, audio prompts to the candidate are generated via the telephone and the candidate's verbal responses are recorded via the telephone. A profile of the candidate is stored in a database including the verbal responses from the candidate for later access and analysis by the screening entity. The recorded responses are analyzed by the screening entity to make quality judgments about the candidate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tubular torsion beam for rear suspensions of vehicles, which is produced according to a more durable design capable of improving roll stiffness and roll strength of the tubular torsion beam. The tubular torsion beam is produced by pressure-forming a tubular steel member through hydroforming such that the tubular torsion beam has a cross-section varying along an entire length thereof, with opposite ends having a closed cross-section and mounted to respective trailing arms, a middle portion having a V-shaped open cross-section, and a transitional portion having a varying cross-section and connecting the middle portion to each of the opposite ends. During the process of manufacturing the tubular torsion beam, the opposite ends of the tubular steel member are fed using respective axial punches of a hydroforming machine, so that the opposite ends are thicker than the middle portion.

Abstract: A syringe comprises a generally-cylindrical, hollow barrel with a hollow nozzle at a distal end thereof. A plunger with an open channel is slidably mounted in the barrel. A needle holder with a needle mounted at one end thereof is arranged in the plunger channel, and movable between an advanced position, whereat the needle projects from a distal end of the nozzle for injection, and a retracted position, whereat the needle is enclosed within the barrel when the injection is complete. A spring retainer is arranged in the barrel. A spring is positioned within the spring retainer, urging the needle holder toward the retracted position. A latch latches the needle holder to the spring retainer thereby maintaining the spring in compression. The latch is releasable in response to the plunger moving to its fully advanced position, whereby the needle holder is released, allowing the spring to expand and thereby move the needle holder to the retracted position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for protecting a programmable cryptography circuit and to a protected circuit. The circuit is composed of memory-based cells defining the logic function of each cell, integrating a differential network capable of carrying out calculations on pairs of binary variables. A calculation step comprises at least one precharge phase, in which the variables are put into a known state at the output of the cells, followed by an evaluation phase in which a calculation is made by the cells. A phase of synchronizing the variables is inserted before the evaluation phase or the precharge phase in each cell capable of receiving several signals conveying input variables, the synchronization being carried out on the most delayed signal. The invention applies notably for protecting this type of circuit against differential power analysis attacks.
