IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne les transmissions de télécopies par un réseau de communication numérique à commutation par paquets. Un premier télécopieur (110) envoie sa sortie à un premier appareil d'interface (120) qui la convertit en un format permettant la transmission par un réseau de communication numérique à commutation par paquets. La sortie de la première interface (120) est alors acheminée, via un réseau (140) et des serveurs (130, 150), à une seconde interface (160) qui convertit la sortie reçue en un format permettant le traitement par un second télécopieur (170).

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un numéro identité internationale d'abonné mobile ou 'IMSI' (pour International Mobile Subscriber Identity) émis par une station mobile est d'abord analysé par le centre de commutation mobile ou 'MSC' (pour Mobile Switching Center) associé à un réseau SS7 normalisé par l'UIT c'est-à-dire par l'Union Internationale des Télécommunications. Si toutefois le numéro IMSI appartient à un réseau SS7 du type normalisé par l'organisme de normalisation des Etats Unis ou 'ANSI' (pour American National Standards Institute), le MSC serveur utilise pour le numéro IMSI un indicatif de pays représentatif de l'abonné mobile. Les chiffres de poids faible sont tronqués ensuite du numéro résultant pour qu'il soit conforme à la norme E.214, la longueur maximale étant de quinze chiffres. Un signal se basant sur la pièce pour service mobile ou 'MAP' (pour Mobile Application Part), notamment un signal de mise à jour d'emplacement, est émis en utilisant le numéro généré en format E.214 comme paramètre d'interlocuteur appelé de la pièce de commande de la connexion de sémaphore ou 'SCCP' (pour Signalling Connection Control Part) et achemine ce signal vers une passerelle internationale raccordant le réseau SS7 de norme UIT-T au réseau SS7 de norme ANSI. La passerelle internationale supprime du signal MAP reçu l'indicatif de pays utilisé pour le numéro IMSI et envoie le signal MAP au noeud destinataire à l'intérieur du réseau SS7 de norme ANSI.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un système rendant possible l'évacuation de liquides indésirables, en phase aqueuse, d'une manière générale, précipitant au fond de cuves de stockage de produits liquides. Le dispositif de vidange (30) utilisé comporte un corps concave (31), un siège (26) et un flotteur de séparation (8) pourvu d'un partie d'obturation (25). Ce flotteur (8) est conçu pour plonger dans le produit en phase aqueuse et y flotter. Lorsque le niveau de produit en phase aqueuse descend, la partie d'obturation (25) se fixe de manière hermétique sur le siège (26) faisant, de la sorte, cesser le processus de vidange puisque tout le produit en phase aqueuse accumulé a déjà été évacué. Le système de vidange peut être automatique ou manuel. Dans le premier cas il est fait usage d'un capteur (12) destiné à déceler la présence d'un produit en phase aqueuse et à commander la procédure d'ouverture d'une vanne de fermeture (11) et, partant, à permettre la vidange du produit en phase aqueuse accumulé. Dans le cas d'un fonctionnement commandé manuellement, un opérateur inspecte périodiquement, grâce à une ouverture (28), la cuve de stockage (1) afin d'y déceler la présence d'un produit en phase aqueuse. Si celui-ci est en train de s'y accumuler, il ouvre une vanne de fermeture (11) à commande manuelle (29) afin de procéder à son évacuation.

Abstract: A method for determining reproducibly if visual features of an object are known to a person. For that purpose, one or more test images are prepared by applying predetermined algorithms so that an image of the respective object is altered such that cognitive perception is in general impossible whereas the global affective impression is not influenced. The test images are presented to a person and it is determined if recognition occurs and if so how certain and how correct. Finally, it is determined which parts of the original images can be reproduced based on information recalled from the memory and if there is confusion or interchange with other images.

Abstract: Diazomethane is produced in a continuous process with little or no explosion
hazard, by dissolving an N-methyl-N-nitroso amine in a mixture of a water-miscible
organic solvent that dissolves the N-methyl-N-nitroso amine and a water-immiscible
organic solvent that dissolves diazomethane, and combining a stream of this solution with a
stream of an aqueous inorganic base, allowing the aqueous and organic phases to settle
after a suitable residence time, and phase separating the phases, all on a continuous basis.
When using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea as the amine, the diazomethane process is preceded
by a continuous nitrosation process involving combining aqueous solutions of methyl urea
and a nitrite salt with an organic solution of a mineral or organic acid, the solvent in the
organic solution being a mixture of the two organic solvents referred to above, allowing
the aqueous and organic phases to settle after a suitable residence time, and phase
separating the phases, all on a continuous basis. The resulting organic phase is
continuously fed to the diazomethane stages described above.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a high yield process for producing high quality corn fiber gum by hydrogen peroxide treatment of corn fiber during alkaline extraction and/or after obtaining the alkaline extract of milled corn fiber. This process comprises the steps: a) mixing corn fiber with an alkaline solution to form a slurry and extract hemicellulose; b) treating the slurry with hydrogen peroxide at a pH of about 10.0 to 12.5; and c) separating out the insoluble fractions from the corn fiber slurry to yield corn fiber gum. The corn fiber gum produced by this process is highly soluble in water and provides low viscosity solutions which are nearly devoid of color over a wide pH range. The corn fiber gum lacks objectionable flavor and aroma. The corn fiber gum is useful for a variety of applications, including film formation and to thicken, emulsify, stabilize and/or extend aqueous solutions and suspensions.
