Patent EP-1321076-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SARAIJI RIAD M
IPC: F21V7/00
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: A modular lighting system for illuminating products supported upon
various vertically arranged shelves of a display unit includes a housing
attached to a first shelf, with the housing including at least one transparent
panel which permits an internal illumination source to light products
supported upon at least one of the first shelf, a shelf arranged directly above
the first shelf and a shelf disposed directly below the first shelf. Most
preferably, the light illuminating from the housing is directed so as to
effectively, entirely illuminate product support surfaces associated with both
the first shelf and the shelf directly below such that the display of products
supported anywhere from the front to the back of these shelves is enhanced.
This front-to-back lighting function can be achieved in various ways, such as
by employing direct, reflective and refractive lighting techniques.

Abstract: The invention relates to devices and/or methods for determining the availability of electric energy in two-energy accumulator vehicle electric systems, in which both energy accumulators, particularly batteries, can be connected to one another via a D.C. converter. The required electric energy is generated by means of a generator that is driven by a vehicle engine. The customary consumers are connected to a first consumer battery circuit (10, 24). Additional consumers, for example, high-current consumers, particularly the starter, are connected to the second battery circuit (11, 29). A control device, for example, a controller that is equipped with a microprocessor determines the availability of the electric energy and occurring faults while evaluating different algorithms and takes over the necessary controls and signalings. The algorithms include threshold value statements for providing the electric energy (SOCS) and threshold value statements for identifying the system faults (SOHS).

Title: Technologie de structure d'arbre amplifie pour reseaux de fibres optiques
Inventor: VAKOC BENJAMIN J
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 2002-08-07
Abstract: Un réseau plié de capteurs à fibres optiques à effet Sagnac utilise une voie de retard commune pour réduire le captage réparti dans les fibres aval. Le réseau de capteurs est utilisé pour détecter des perturbations (p.ex., les ondes sonores dans l'eau). Du fait que le réseau plié de capteurs à effet Sagnac utilise les mêmes principes de fonctionnement que l'interféromètre à effet Sagnac, le réseau de capteurs à un point de stabilisation stable, un plus faible bruit de phase et permet l'utilisation d'une source de signaux de bande large au lieu d'un laser à largeur de raie étroit plus onéreux. Un grand nombre de capteurs peut être multiplexé dans l'architecture de réseau de capteurs. Dans un mode de réalisation particulièrement préféré, le réseau de capteurs est configuré avec des coupleurs et des amplificateurs sélectionnés pour diriger des portions sensiblement égales d'un signal lumineux entrant pour chaque capteur dans le réseau. Dans un autre mode de réalisation particulièrement préféré, on a créé pour la lumière des première et deuxième voies de retard afin d'accroître la gamme dynamique des capteurs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an image on an organic product to provide a communication to the recipient or otherwise individualize the organic product. The image is photo-etched into a photosensitive material of a printing plane or cliché by the use of a film positive. Ink is applied to the cliché and a transfer medium is placed in contact with the cliché. The transfer medium lifts ink from the image area of the cliché and creates a negative image on the medium. The transfer medium transfers the inked image onto an organic product, such as a flower petal or leaf. The printed image is then set so as to remain on the organic product to communicate a message to and/or to individualize the product for the intended recipient.
