Inventor: CARAPELLA SEAN PETER
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: A method for assisting a person in viewing results of a database query uses query parameters to obtain query results from a database. A user interface displays a table having a selector column. The selector column includes a plurality of rows, with each row representing a set of values for a parameter selectable by a user from a set of selectable parameters. The table also has a selector row that includes a plurality of columns. Each column represents a set of values for a parameter selectable by a user from a set of selectable parameters. Parameters relate to data of the database, and some are computed or derived from database fields. A parameter may be a measure of a degree to which a travel itinerary satisfies a company or managed travel bias. The table further includes selector cells, with each cell corresponding to a row and column. A user can select subsets of query results for display in an answer table by selecting a column, row, or cell of the selection table.

Title: Arbre d'entrainement pour moteur de fond
Inventor: VOGHELL MARK LOUIS PHILIP
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2008-12-16
Abstract: Un ensemble d'arbre d'entraînement pour un moteur de fond comprend un arbre d'entraînement formé par des surfaces de roulement sphériques convexes à chaque extrémité et des logements d'extrémité ayant des surfaces de roulement sphériques concaves pour établir un contact d'accouplement avec les surfaces de roulement sphériques de l'arbre d'entraînement, facilitant ainsi l'articulation omnidirectionnelle entre l'arbre d'entraînement et les logements d'extrémité tout en transférant les charges de poussée axiale entre l'arbre d'entraînement dans l'interface des surfaces d'accouplement de roulements sphériques. Le couple est transféré entre l'arbre d'entraînement et les logements d'extrémité par deux ou autrement quatre clavettes d'entraînement pivotantes installées à chaque extrémité de l'arbre d'entraînement et insérables dans les fentes de clavette d'entraînement complémentaires des logements d'extrémité. Le contact de transfert de couple complet et constant est ainsi assuré entre les clavettes d'entraînement pivotantes et les logements d'extrémité de tout décalage angulaire entre l'arbre d'entraînement et les logements d'extrémité, en raison de l'articulation omnidirectionnelle de l'arbre d'entraînement par rapport au logement d'extrémité. Le centre de rotation omnidirectionnel à chaque extrémité de l'arbre d'entraînement coïncide avec le point central géométrique de la surface de roulement sphérique convexe, qui correspond à l'intersection de l'axe de rotation de l'arbre d'entraînement, l'axe de rotation de l'extrémité du logement et l'axe de pivotement de la clavette d'entraînement.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: OSHIMA MITSUAKI
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1994-03-25
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an OFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.
