Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method of management of
the recycling of product carrier units for protective wrapping of a
product. The product carrier unit comprises a base member (2) and an
enclosure member (3) assembled by distance means (4), and the base
member is provided with a data carrier unit (7) for receiving and
releasing information data, including identification code, comprising
the steps of monitoring the inventory status of product carrier units
at one or more manufacturing sites by first computer means registering
the identification code of the product carrier units, and determining
the supply and demand of product carrier units, monitoring the inventory
status of product carrier units at one or more distribution points by
second computer means registering the identification code of the product
carrier units, and determining the stock of returning product carrier
units, and recording the conditions of the individual product carrier
units, feeding said inventory status of the manufacturing and
distribution sites to central computer means, that initiate a
distribution of the returned product carrier units at the distribution
points according to the demands from the manufacturing site. Hereby, an
intelligent packaging material that is recyclable is provided that
offers new possibilities in terms of providing more efficient and
environmentally friendly packaging material systems.

Abstract: The grinding device has a rotor (3) with annular ribs (10) and slots spread over its surface in which tool holders can be fitted. The tools (13) are fixed to the tool holders in the direction of rotation of the rotor. The tools have a cutting surface bounded at a right angle. These cutting surfaces and the profile formed by the ribs work with the teeth (25) of the counter-cutter (4). There is a gap of varying width extending over at least part of the length of the rotor between the profile and the counter-cutter.

Abstract: The system, and the method, is for electronic stabilisation of an image
produced by an electronic imaging device. The input may be any sequence of
image frames from an image source, such as a video camera, an IR or X-ray
imager, radar, or from a storage medium such as computer disk memory,
video tape or a computer graphics generator. Images from multiple sources
may be used when these must be stabilised with respect to one another. A
feedback loop (104) and second image warp stage (116) achieve precise image
alignment as part of the displacement estimation process. The output of the
stabilisation system is a modified image sequence in which unwanted
components of image motion have been reduced or removed, or in which new
motion of a desired form has been introduced. The output may also include
information derived from the input sequence, such as estimated frame-to-frame
displacement vectors or motion flow fields, and derived from image
sequences with reduced noise or highlighted change.

Abstract: There are access members (1-3) for physical or logical locking by determining a first random code that includes the code elements and the state of the command mechanism. The device also includes a central unit (5,50) to which the first code is transmitted in order to release a second random code, which is then transmitted back to the access means to allow the unlocking process. An Independent claim is made for a process for unlocking a physical or logical lock. The first stage is determination of a first random code from the lock (3) by insertion of a housing (1) with a keypad and display into an interface (2) in the lock, by which a first code is determined. This is transmitted to a central command unit (5,50) and a second corresponding encryption or opening code is transmitted back to allow the lock to be opened.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une glissière de sécurité destinée à être placée au milieu d'une route à double voie et constituée de plusieurs rails (1), de préférence en béton, disposés successivement, les petits côtés des rails respectifs étant adjacents. Les rails adjacents (1, 1') sont reliés à l'aide d'éléments articulés (5, 6, 5', 6', 8), ce qui empêche le déplacement latéral des petits côtés reliés les uns par rapport aux autres mais permet la déformation absorbante de forces de la glissière par pivotement des rails les uns par rapport aux autres si un véhicule entre en collision avec la glissière. Chaque rail a au moins deux éléments de connexion (5, 6) faisant saillie sur chaque petit côté et assemblés par les éléments de connexion correspondants (5', 6') du rail adjacent (1') à l'aide d'une barre (8) que l'on introduit dans des trous (7) pratiqués dans chaque élément de connexion.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur des potentiels évoqués pour stimulateur cardiaque, qui détermine les potentiels évoqués en présence de polarisation. Afin de déterminer la valeur de la polarisation pour différentes amplitudes de stimulation, on mesure les signaux d'électrode recueillis par le conducteur après l'application d'une amplitude de stimulation élevée et d'une amplitude de stimulation faible. L'amplitude de l'impulsion de stimulation à faible amplitude correspond au seuil de stimulation connu plus un échelon de tension prédéterminé. Un système de calcul permet de déterminer la différence entre les signaux d'électrode recueillis et évalue le quotient entre cette différence et la différence entre les amplitudes d'impulsion de stimulation élevée et faible. Un système d'analyse permet de déterminer le signal des potentiels évoqués par soustraction, à partir des signaux d'électrode ensuite recueillis, des signaux de polarisation dont la valeur correspond aux amplitudes d'impulsion de stimulation effectives multipliées par le quotient susmentionné. Selon une variante, le générateur fournit une impulsion de stimulation d'amplitude élevée, puis des impulsions de stimulation dont les amplitudes sont successivement réduites d'un échelon de tension prédéterminé, jusqu'à atteindre une faible amplitude de stimulation égale au seuil de stimulation connu plus l'un des échelons de tension considérés. Le système de calcul permet de déterminer et d'enregistrer la valeur de la polarisation par échelon de tension, Polstep. Le système d'analyse permet de déterminer les signaux des potentiels évoqués, par soustraction, depuis les signaux d'électrode ensuite recueillis, d'un signal de polarisation dont la valeur correspond au quotient entre l'amplitude de stimulation effective et l'échelon de tension considéré, multiplié par la valeur Polstep enregistrée.

IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A device of dynamic communication of information allows, on the average, non-integer bits per symbol transmission, using a compact code set or a partial response decoding receiver. A stream of k or k+1 data bits is grouped into bit vectors which then are mapped onto corresponding signal constellations forming transmission symbols. Two or more symbols can be grouped and further encoded, so that a symbol is spread across the two or more symbols being communicated. Sequence estimation using, for example, maximum likelihood techniques, as informed by noise estimates relative to the received signal. Each branch metric in computing the path metric of a considered sequence at the receiver is weighted by the inverse of the noise power. It is desirable that the constellation selection, sequence estimation and noise estimation be performed continuously and dynamically.
