Title: Systeme de support pour les techniques de vente et methode associee
Inventor: MELCHIONE ANTHONY R
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1996-10-17
Abstract: Système de support pour les techniques de vente, et méthode associée, permettant d'identifier des cibles de vente à l'aide d'une base de données centralisée dans le but d'améliorer les résultats de la mercatique. Le système comprend une base de données centrale qui reçoit des informations détaillées en provenance de diverses sources internes et externes, puis les standardise et les stocke dans une hiérarchie à trois niveaux (foyers, clients et comptes) destinée à une institution financière. Des stations de travail de micromercatique peuvent accéder aux informations détaillées stockées dans la base de données centrale afin d'établir des listes de clients éventuels destinées à des campagnes de mercatique. Un gestionnaire de base de données génère des accès logiques permettant d'accéder aux données contenues dans la base de données centrale afin d'accroître la vitesse et l'efficacité de celle-ci. Le système distribue électroniquement à des réseaux de succursales des listes de clients éventuels, qui sont utilisées pour cibler des clients en vue des campagnes de mercatique. Les stations de travail d'un système central d'information de la clientèle peuvent accéder à la base de données centrale afin d'établir des profils de clients, améliorer les relations de la clientèle avec l'institution financière, et suivre électroniquement les ventes et les performances d'un produit durant les campagnes. Le système peut également comporter un dispositif qui permet d'ouvrir un compte en une seule session et qui est en communication avec la base de données centrale, ainsi qu'avec des centres de micromercatique, des systèmes centraux d'information de la clientèle et des systèmes de succursale conformes à la présente invention, de façon à permettre les échanges de données entre ces différents systèmes, dans la mesure où ces échanges sont légaux et appropriés.

Abstract: The present invention provides a noncentrifugal sugar
composition comprising sugar cane juice and sucrose and/or
liquid sucrose, characterized in that the composition has a
color value of not more than AI2000, a purity of 93.1 to
86.0 % by weight and a moisture of not more than 2.0 % by
weight. The present composition is excellent in stability
with the passage of time and has rich flavor. 
     The present invention also provides a process for the
preparation of a noncentrifugal sugar composition. The
process comprises the following steps: cane juice is
filtered; a pH of the juice is adjusted to 5.0-6.0; sucrose
or liquid sucrose or both is added to adjust a purity of the
mixture to a range of 87.0 to 95.1 % by weight; the mixture
is heated and evaporated; and then the mixture is cooled to
solidify with a strong shearing force being applied to obtain
granules. 
     The present invention also provides a process for the
preparation of granule-formed sugar which comprises (1) a
step of preparing sugar syrup, (2) a step of heating and
evaporating the sugar syrup, (3) a step of crystallizing the
sugar syrup to obtain sugar and (4) a step of drying, cooling
and conditioning the sugar. In the process, a purity of the
sugar syrup obtained from step (1) is adjusted to a range of
87.0 to 95.1 % by weight before step (2); the
crystallization of the sugar syrup is carried out with a
strong shearing force being applied to obtain granule -formed
sugar; and step (4) is carried out in a way where the
granule-formed sugar obtained from step (3) is fed and dried
in a hopper through the bottom of which dry air is blown in.

     Compared with the known art, the invention reduces the need for
manual adjustment of the thread (15) on the bobbin (20), results
in a gradual reduction of electricity consumption as the thread
(15) unwinds, provides substantially balanced rotation of the
entire spindle (30) supporting the bobbin (10), and results in an
overall lesser manufacturing and operating cost of the spiralling
machine.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel saddle (1) for a
bicycle, which eliminates the risk of pain caused by oppression
of the regions near the hip or the perineal regions, and ensures
an agreeable riding. 
     The front sides of the saddle (8a and 8b) has a shape
projecting forward in the travelling direction of the bicycle
from the front center portion (7), and at least the saddle
displacement members (4a and 4b) including the projecting front
sides (8a and 8b) is displaceable relative to the bicycle main
body. The body weight of the bicycle rider can therefore be
supported in a dispersed state over a wide range of the hip and
the femoral regions. The hip particularly the regions ear the
coccyx are not locally oppressed seriously.

Abstract: A single phase permanent magnet motor includes a rotor (10), a stator (12), and a quadrature axis winding (22) positioned out-of-phase from a main winding (20) of the stator for generating an output signal representative of rotor angular position. An integrator can be coupled to the quadrature axis winding for phase retarding the output signal, and a comparator can be coupled to the integrator for detecting zero crossings of the phase retarded output signal to provide a commutation signal. The quadrature axis winding can be positioned about ninety electrical degrees out-of-phase from the main winding of the stator, and the integrator can be adapted to phase retard the output signal by a number of degrees which decreases as a speed of the motor increases. At low speeds the phase retard is preferably at about ninety degrees so that the phase retarded signal becomes in-phase with the main stator winding back EMF voltage. The motor may further include a rectifier coupled to the quadrature axis winding for rectifying the output signal, and a lowpass filter for filtering the rectified output signal to provide a signal proportional to velocity. Also the single phase motor is commutated for maximum torque production.

Abstract: To provide a projection-type display apparatus that presents a bright image
while forming a narrow margin around the image forming area of a liquid-crystal light
valve, an output light from a light source lamp unit 8 in a projection-type display
apparatus 1000 illuminates liquid-crystal light valves 925R, 925G and 925B for three
colours via an integrator optical system 923. A superimposing lens 930 that is a
component of the integrator optical system 923 as a uniform illumination optical system
is arranged such that the mounting position of the superimposing lens 930 is fine-adjustable
in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis la. By fine-adjusting the
mounting position of the superimposing lens 930, the position of an illumination area B
is adjusted such that the illumination area includes the image forming area A of the
liquid-crystal light valve. It is not necessary to assure a wide margin around the image
forming area A to cover the offset of the position of the illumination area B. As a
result, the utilisation of illumination light is heightened, and a bright projected image
results.

Abstract: A transmitting apparatus has a plurality of optical
signal transmitters, a plurality of transmitting
transponders for converting the wavelengths of optical
signals transmitted from the optical transmitters into
respective wavelengths and transmitting wavelength-converted
optical signals, a wavelength-division-multiplexer
for wavelength-division-multiplexing the
wavelength-converted optical signals, and an auxiliary
transmitting transponder for converting a wavelength of
an optical signal transmitted from the optical signal
transmitters into a wavelength different from the
wavelength-converted optical signals, and transmitting
an auxiliary wavelength-converted optical signal. The
transmitting transponders are monitored by a supervising
unit, which outputs a detected failure signal when it
detects a failure of one of the transmitting transponders.
In response to the detected failure signal, a
transmission switch supplies an output signal from the
auxiliary transmitting transponder, rather than the
output signal from the failing transmitting transponder,
to the wavelength-division-multiplexer. A supervising
control signal transmitting unit transmits a supervising
control signal to an optical transmission path. In
response to the supervising control signal, a receiving
apparatus switches from a receiving transponder corresponding 
to the failing transmitting transponder to a
receiving auxiliary transponder.
