Abstract: An actuator is formed by using at least one flexure (102, 104,
106 and 108; 140, 142, 144 and 146; and 164) that is continuously flexible
between a rigid connection to a stator (112) and a rigid connection to a
translator (110; 158; and 160). The one or more continuously flexible flexures
provide a long range of translator motion when combined with an electrostatic
levitation arrangement. In selected embodiments, the flexures that are
continuously flexible are straight beam flexures, so as to provide a high
degree of stiffness. In other embodiments, the flexures are pre-bent to
provide a longer switching throw from a relaxed state. Where the translator
is required to be displaced in a generally straight-line direction, some off-axis
displacement will occur, but is preferably accompanied by a stepping of a
levitation voltage pattern. In another embodiment one and only one straight
beam flexure is used and the levitator is caused to rotate about a rotational
axis that is intersected by the one straight beam flexure.

Abstract: A sound-based group discovery method is provided for collections of local devices. One
of the devices initiates the discovery method by sending out a mating sound and, via a
communications transceiver such as a short-range radio transceiver, a related mating signal
(step 41). Any other device picking up both the mating sound and signal becomes at least a
potential group member. In a preferred embodiment, the devices receiving both the mating
sound and signal respond to the initiating device (step 42) which thereupon determines an
initial membership of the group and sends this to the other members (step 44). A sound
connectivity check is then carried out (steps 46-48) to ensure each member can hear every
other member.

Abstract: The method involves processing an input signal so a specified maximum output signal level is not exceeded; a predefined constant gain is set; for gain less than or equal to 1 an input signal of a level less than or equal to the maximum output level is reproduced without distortion and distortion occurs for constant gain greater than 1. The input signal is compressed to an intermediate value then the output signal is formed using a constant gain. The method involves processing an input signal so that a specified maximum output signal level is not exceeded and a predefined constant gain is set, whereby for gain less than or equal to 1 the input signal with a level less than or equal to the maximum output level is reproduced without distortion and distortion occurs for constant gain greater than 1. The input signal (x) is compressed to an intermediate value (y1) in a first step followed by a step in which output signal (y) is formed using the constant gain (v). Independent claims are also included for the following: a server unit, a processor unit and a programmable gate array unit for implementing the method.

Abstract: This is of the type formed by a headstock with two
articulated blades which can adopt a coplanar, extended
position, maintaining the mop or similar, tense so that
when the catch is operated, the blades fold, enabling the
assembly and wringing out of the mop, when required. The
conventional handle is jointed onto this headstock
articulately. 
     According to the invention, the headstock (1) comprises a
central piece (3) and two articulated blades (4,5), which
are held in the coplanar position by the retainer tabs (12)
provided in one of them, located in the recesses of a catch
(13) linked to the other. 
     With the operation of a catch (13), the blades drop into an
inverted "V" shape, as a result of a elastic stop,
comprising a tab (14) of the blade, which comes into
contact with a partition (16) of the central support (3).
When the blades (4,5) close as the mop (18) is wrung out,
these retrieve this angular position due to the elasticity
of the tabs (14). The coplanar working position is obtained
by pressing the headstock (1) against the floor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à maîtriser l'accès à une information sur un réseau. Des flux d'information et vidéo/audio sont émis sur un réseau par une extrémité de tête vers un gestionnaire d'espace membre ou vers des décodeurs où l'information peut être utilisée ou regardée. la fréquence à laquelle un flux donné d'information est émis est inversée ou commutée sur la base d'un algorithme de commutation. Par exemple, un flux donné (par exemple, un film sur une station payante) peut être émis sur une fréquence pendant un intervalle de temps spécifié, puis commuté sur une autre fréquence pour un intervalle de temps donné, etc. Afin de permettre à un gestionnaire d'espace membre de déterminer à quelle fréquence est émis un flux donné d'information à un moment particulier dans le temps, le serveur d'extrémité de tête met à disposition du gestionnaire d'espace membre un logiciel de commutation. Le logiciel de commutation peut être codé avant émission vers le gestionnaire d'espace membre. Selon une ou plusieurs réalisations de l'invention, on détermine le mappage flux-fréquence, le mappage est émis vers le gestionnaire d'espace membre où il est installé et exécuté, le flux d'information est émis sur des fréquences variées vers le gestionnaire d'espace membre, et ce gestionnaire s'accorde à la fréquence appropriée afin de recevoir et d'utiliser un flux continu d'information. En émettant l'information de cette façon, tous codage, commutation de fréquence/canal, établissements de configuration, etc. sont transparents à l'utilisateur final qui n'a juste qu'à sélectionner un canal virtuel pour regarder.

Abstract: Une image en couleur est imprimée numériquement sur un support de transfert intermédiaire. Cette image est transférée ultérieurement du support de transfert intermédiaire à un substrat définitif, lequel substrat peut être un textile cellulosique, en coton par exemple. La fixation des images en couleur est assurée par la réaction entre des composés pris chacun dans deux groupes chimiques renfermant le support de transfert intermédiaire. Le premier groupe comprend des composés avec des groupes fonctionnels capables de réagir avec l'hydrogène actif, tels que des groupes isocyanate ou époxy. Le second groupe renferme des composés avec des groupes fonctionnels renfermant de l'hydrogène actif, ou bien des composés avec des groupes fonctionnels renfermant de l'hydrogène actif à la suite d'un processus de transformation. On peut protéger les groupes fonctionnels d'un groupe chimique ou des deux réactifs soit par blocage au moyen d'agents bloquants internes ou externes, soit par une barrière physique, des agents d'enrobage par exemple. Les agents bloquants sont éliminés par l'application d'énergie, par exemple thermique, pendant le transfert de l'image du support de transfert intermédiaire au substrat final. Le support de transfert intermédiaire peut renfermer d'autres composants pouvant soit se combiner avec un ou les deux groupes chimiques susmentionnés, soit être appliqués sous forme de couches distinctes. Ces composants peuvent être constitués par un matériau thermoexpansible, un agent chimique exothermique, un agent de libération et/ou un matériau absorbant. Les images transférées ainsi produites sont douces au toucher, en particulier lorsqu'elles sont appliquées sur un textile, ont une excellente tenue et offrent une remarquable résistance à l'abrasion.
