Patent EP-0821245-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MITSUMATA HIROTSUGU
IPC: A61B5/055
Filed: 1997-07-04
Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus has a gantry
including various coils such as a static field coil and gradient
field coils, a top board for supporting an examinee and moving
the examinee into and out of an opening of the gantry, and an
approximately cylindrical RF coil defining a hollow space
therein. The RF coil is set to the top board, with an axis of
the hollow space extending at an angle to the horizontal.
The examinee's imaging site is inserted into the hollow space
of the RF coil to have sectional images picked up. Since the
RF coil is set to the top board with the axis of the hollow space
inclined relative to the horizontal, sectional images may be
picked up by using the approximately cylindrical RF coil while
allowing the examinee to take a comfortable posture without
enlarging the RF coil.

Abstract: Process to operate a two-stage treatment plant dealing with a combination of municipal and trade water effluent treats a combination of municipal and trade water effluent together with the introduction of raw water and the removal of activated sludge. The treatment plant has a biological high-load activation stage, followed by a biologically-intensified filter stage and an outlet for the treated waste water. The biologically-intensified filter stage is operated together with an upstream denitrification stage. A nitrification stage is positioned between the biologically-intensified filter stage and upstream denitrification stage. Also claimed is an assembly with an adsorption stage (1), an intermediate settlement stage (2), a solid-bed reactor (3) with upstream denitrification reactor (4) and nitrification reactor (5) linked in series. An outlet discharges from the settlement stage (2) to an activated sludge process (10) which discharges to an outlet, with part (11) of the discharge being returned to the denitrification reactor.

Abstract: A non-imaging laser-based tracking system for tracking
the position of a targeted moving object. The tracking system
includes two lasers: a reference laser and a slave laser. Each
laser is a weapon, and when locked on a target, single laser
effectiveness may be doubled without a thermal blooming
performance loss associated with a single laser operating at twice
the power. The slave laser beam is dithered relative to the
reference laser beam in a direction along the longitudinal axis of
the target. The system includes an optical receiver for
repetitively scanning the irradiance profile reflected by the
target. Since the slave laser beam is dithered relative to the
reference laser beam, both laser beams will jitter and drift
together providing a gain factor of two in average irradiance on
the moving target.

Abstract: One page is segmented into a plurality of bands (segments), and dot image data is generated on a per band basis from given information (graphic object). High-speed printing with a small-sized memory is achieved by allowing one band to be converted into dot image data and dot image data for another band to be transmitted to a printer, concurrently in parallel. When the conversion of a band to dot image data needs more time than is available for printing one band, or when the data quantity of object per page exceeds an allocated memory area, an object corresponding to a degraded image data is generated, and then the degraded image data is generated on a per band basis based on the resulting object.

Abstract: A multidimensional feedback system (16) is used to reduce the noise component of a vibrational or acoustic field (10). The feedback algorithm includes a matrix operator that diagonalizes the feedback system. As a consequence, each of two or more actuators (12) can be treated as though it closes an independent, one-dimensional feedback system. Therefore, classical one-dimensional feedback analysis can be used in the context of a system having multiple error sensors (14) and multiple actuators (12).

Abstract: A shared loop multimedia datastreaming server system is
provided. A plurality of A/V servers have equal access to a
pool of disk arrays interconnected in a shared loop
architecture such as SSA or FC-AL. Each server delivers a
corresponding datastream from the loop through an isochronous
broadband connection to appropriate A/V devices. The A/V
servers are interconnected by a control loop such as an
Ethernet link. An archive server also accesses the shared
storage loop and an archive storage system. The archive
server loads titles from archive to the loop as desired and
serves as a backup A/V server. A high availability control
server cluster interconnects to the A/V server and the
archive server to control resource management, including
distribution of titles on the loop and loading titles from
the archive server and balancing the loads on the A/V
servers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for fixating a
fibre ribbon cable in a ribbon fibre cutting machine. A
fixture or jig holding a stripped fibre ribbon cable is
placed on the cutting machine in a predetermined position, by
placing the jig in a machine-mounted holder and pressing the
jig against one side thereof. The jig is positioned so that
the ribbon fibres will enter respective V-grooves on a first
support and engage a resilient surface on a second support.
The fibres can be linearised in the grooves on said support
surface, despite possibly being deformed when stripping the
cable, by angling the jig in relation to said V-grooves on
said support surface. The fibres are pressed down into the
grooves, thereby fixating the fibres in both a vertical and a
lateral direction. The fibres will also be parallel with one
another in the space between said support. Arranged in said
space is a knife by means of which a fracture line or
weakening is made on the fibres. A weight is then caused to
drop onto the fibres, so as to exert force at the fracture
lines or weakenings.

Abstract: Systèmes à base de normes de chiffrement de données multiples (DES), à mise en oeuvre par tranche. Dans un mode de réalisation du procédé de l'invention, on utilise un nouvel algorithme de chiffrement fonction d'une modification de la mise en oeuvre par tranche de DES. Dans ce mode de réalisation, exclusif-ou est remplacé dans la fonction F par une forme de multiplication. Ainsi, chaque cryptage simultané dépend de tous les bits de l'entrée dans la boîte de substitution tous les deux chiffrages parallèles. Toute opération de groupe inverse peut être utilisée à la place de la multiplication. La condition principale est que tout bit d'entrée influence tout bit de sortie. Il n'est pas nécessaire que l'opération soit facile à inverser, pour que, par exemple, la multiplication commune dans laquelle exclusif-ou est utilisé pour le repliement des moitiés supérieure et inférieure du résultat, produise un candidat fort. Dans le procédé de l'invention, on utilise une forme soignée de repliement, de sorte que les entrées dans n'importe quelle boîte de substitution dépendent d'au moins la moitié des bits d'entrée. Les systèmes à base de normes de chiffrement de données multiples (DES), à mise en oeuvre par tranche, sont un mode de réalisation particulièrement préféré. Dans l'ordonnancement des clés recommandé pour les algorithmes de chiffrement de Feistel et autres algorithmes de chiffrement par blocs, l'algorithme de chiffrement par bloc est utilisé pour provoquer le mélange complet des bits clés et l'expansion pseudo-aléatoire de sorte que des sous-clés de taille appropriées soient formées. Un mode de chaînage de sous-clés est proposé, qui influence les chiffrements futurs des algorithmes de chiffrement par bloc à la place du mode de chaînage de chiffrements par bloc. Une structure de Feistel permettant une extension ultérieure de la longueur de bloc de la sortie de chaînage de sous-clés est proposée.
