Title: Micromanipulator
IPC: G01D5/26
Filed: 1992-03-28
Abstract: A micromanipulator is proposed in which a structured plastics layer (1, 10) is applied to a substrate (9) and is firmly connected to the substrate (9) only in part (10). One part (1) is at a distance from the substrate; a metal strip is let into this part so that this part can be moved under the influence of temperature changes. In this micromanipulator, the movement of the unsupported part (1) is performed in parallel to the substrate. The part (10) firmly connected to the substrate (9) contains two light guides (5, 7) which are arranged parallel to the substrate. The angle situated between them is selected such that the position of the microstructure element can be detected by measuring the intensity of reflected light 12.

Patent EP-0703540-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SANDERS JAMES B
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 1995-09-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a survey tool for use with an electronic mail (email) system
implemented in a computer network having a plurality of nodes interconnecting a corresponding
plurality of computers. In the preferred embodiment, the survey tool includes three modules; a
builder module for composing a survey, an answer module for responding to the survey, and a
collector module for generating survey results. The builder module provides a graphical interface
for generating a graphical survey. The survey is then encoded in a survey description language
(SDL). Next, the builder module attaches the SDL encoded survey to a survey email together with
the email headers, and transmits the survey email to one or more targeted users via the computer
network. The targeted user retrieves the survey email and attempts to invoke the answer module.
If a copy of the answer module cannot be located at the receiving computer, a copy of the answer
module can be transferred from a remote location via the computer network. Upon execution of the
answer module, graphical prompts are generated for the targeted user. In turn, the targeted user
provides appropriate survey response which are recorded by the answer module. The survey
response is then encoded into a survey result language (SRL), attached to an answer email and
transmitted to a survey cache of the computer network. Finally, the collector module accesses the
survey cache and retrieve the SRL survey response(s). The SRL encoded survey responses are
decoded, interpreted and tabulated. Appropriate graphical displays and/or reports can then be
generated.

Inventor: GRAZIANO MICHAEL J
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 1995-07-13
Abstract: A communications adapter (110) receives and transmits
simultaneously packet and/or isochronous data between two
interfaces; a network (112) and a host (114) bus system. The adapter stores
the isochronous and packet data in receive and transmit queues
configured in a FDDI RAM buffer (130). A controller (122) manages the
transfers of the data into and out of the queues. A local bus (132)
interacts with the system to provide descriptors of addresses in
the system for transfers of data out of the queues to the system
or the network. The controller is programmable to provide a
variable threshold for the transfer of data between the queues
and the system or the network. A systems interface unit (128) handles
the transfer of data to/from the system and allows data to bypass
the queues and directly access the system or the network.

Abstract: A component of color difference signal is detected (10) from 
a video component signal, and its color saturation information 
is compared (11) with a predetermined threshold level, then in response 
to the comparison result, information is generated (12) in order to 
control phase modulation such as, when the information is smaller 
than the threshold level, phases of color burst signals are 
modulated during a specified period, and when the information is 
larger than the threshold level, the phase stays as standard. 
The generated information is added (13) to the color video signal. 
These steps can avoid unpleasant striped color noises appeared on 
a conventional color TV receiver, the unpleasant striped color 
noises has been caused by a modified color burst signal without 
the above steps.
