Patent EP-1085679-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SALE DARRYL L
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2000-08-16
Abstract: A method for efficiently and rapidly handing off a subscriber link from a
first satellite (14) to a second satellite (12) in a satellite communications system
(10) uses a virtual connection (44) between the first satellite (14) and a
subscriber (18) through the second satellite (12). The virtual connection (44) is
established soon after a handoff decision has been made. All signals
subsequently received by the first satellite (14) for direct transmission to the
subscriber (18) are then automatically transferred to the subscriber (18) through
the virtual connection (44). The virtual connection (44) is terminated after a
"call rerouted" signal has been received from a remote gateway (20).

Abstract: A CAN microcontroller that supports a plurality of message objects, and that
includes a processor core that runs CAN applications, a plurality of message buffers
associated with respective ones of the message objects, a CAN/CAL module that processes
incoming messages that include a plurality of frames, each frame having a maximum number
n of data bytes, and 
a plurality of message object registers associated with each of the message objects, including
at least one buffer size register that contains a message buffer size value that specifies the
size of the message buffer associated with that message object, and at least one buffer
location register that contains an address pointer that points to an address of the storage
location in the message buffer associated with that message object where the next data byte
of the current incoming message is to be stored. The CAN/CAL module includes a message
handling function that transfers successive frames of the current incoming message to the
message buffer associated with a selected one of the message objects designated as a receive
message object for the current incoming message an address pointer increment function that,
in response to a transfer of the current data byte to the message buffer associated with the
designated receive message object, increments the address pointer to the address of the
storage location in that message buffer where the next data byte of the current incoming
message is to be stored. The CAN/CAL module further includes a frame status detection
function that detects whether or not the current frame of the current incoming message is the
final frame of the current incoming message, and a buffer-status detection function that, each
time that the address pointer is incremented, retrieves the incremented address pointer value,
retrieves the message buffer size value from the at least one buffer size register associated
with the designated receive message object, and decodes the retrieved message buffer size
value into a buffer-size mask, and determines a message buffer-fullness status of the message
buffer associated with the designated receive message object using the retrieved incremented
address pointer value and the buffer-size mask.

remotely controls the remotely controllable electronic
apparatus by execution of the software in the first control
apparatus; and the remotely controllable electronic
apparatus has an exclusive-control-request-notifying means,
which is used for informing the software being executed in
the first control apparatus of a request for exclusive

IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: Upon executing auto color select (ACS) generally,
since a prescan for ACS must be done before a main scan
for capturing actual image data, a long processing time
is required, resulting in low productivity. 
     In this invention, an ACS task is executed while
the scanner is making an image capture scan. If the
ACS task determines that the captured original is a
color original, the ACS task informs the printer of
that information, and then normally terminates itself.
After the end of scan, if it is not determined that the
original is a color original, information indicating
that the original is a monochrome original is sent to
the printer. Hence, appropriate ACS can be done
without any prescan.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un appareil qui vient se fixer à des dispositifs chirurgicaux de type microkératomes. Cet appareil, qui consiste en un boîtier pour lame de microkératome jetable, vient se fixer solidement aux dispositifs chirurgicaux mais reste indépendant des composants moteur, engrenages et tête de coupe. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, ce boîtier de lame comprend une lame tranchante, un support de lame, une plaque et une structure de couplage flexible. La structure de couplage à encliquètement étroit assure le positionnement automatique et la fixation solide du boîtier aux microkératomes récepteurs existants et compatibles. Dans un second mode de réalisation, le boîtier de la lame et la tête de coupe sont intégraux et comprennent une lame tranchante, un support de lame et une plaque. La combinaison boîtier de lame/tête de coupe est dans ce cas entièrement jetable, et vient se fixer rigidement au moteur. Dans les deux modes de réalisation, le support de lame est soumis à l'action du moteur et des engrenages qui le font osciller dans le boîtier. Alors que le microkératome se déplace sur l'oeil, la partie plaque du boîtier comprime partiellement la cornée juste en avant de la lame. La compression partielle par la plaque ainsi que la lame définissent la forme et la profondeur de la résection cornéenne. Le boîtier de lame jetable est fabriqué à partir de matériaux consistant en des polymères, des composites et des céramiques.

IPC: C12G3/023

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de traitement de produits agricoles tels que du grain, des betteraves à sucre ou des pommes de terre. On commence par mélanger le grain moulu avec de l'eau puis, après adjonction d'une enzyme liquéfiante et saccharisante, on soumet le pâte levée à fermentation. Les betteraves à sucre tranchées sont soumises à fermentation. Après saccharification de l'amidon, les pommes de terre écrasées sont soumises à fermentation comme dans le cas du grain. La pâte fermentée est filtrée en conditions de surpression sur le côté de la suspension, la colature est conduite à distillation et le gâteau est pré-séché dans un séchoir à une température supérieure à la température d'ébullition de l'eau en fonction de la pression utilisée. A partir de là, les reliquats d'éthanol et d'eau laissés par le pré-séchage sont refroidis, liquéfiés et distillés, le gâteau de filtrage sans éthanol étant soumis à un séchage final. L'avantage de ce procédé tient au fait que le gâteau de filtrage est lavé à l'eau après filtration, la phase liquide étant évacuée au moyen d'un gaz inerte. Une atmosphère inerte est maintenue dans le séchoir pendant le pré-séchage. Pour la production d'éthanol avec obtention de denrées alimentaires de qualité, les reliquats d'éthanol dans la solution d'eau obtenus pendant le pré-séchage après refroidissement et liquéfaction sont acheminés dans la colonne d'éthanol technique. Pour la production d'éthanol sans obtention de denrées alimentaires de qualité, la solution d'eau avec reliquats d'éthanol obtenues par pré-séchage, refroidissement et liquéfaction est mélangée avec le filtrat. En variante, on peut ajouter de la paille de grain broyée à la pâte fermentée à raison de 15 % maximum en poids.

Title: Use of wicking agent to eliminate wash steps for optical diffraction-based biosensors
Inventor: KAYLOR ROSANN M
IPC: C40B60/14
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive and sensitive system and method for detecting analytes present in a medium. The system comprises a diffraction enhancing element, such as functionalized microspheres, which are modified such that they are capable of binding with a target analyte. Additionally, the system comprises a polymer film, which may include a metal coating, upon which is printed a specific, predetermined pattern of a analyte-specific receptors. Finally, the system includes a wicking agent which permits the system to be a single step system which avoids the necessity of any additional rinsing steps. Upon attachment of a target analyte to select areas of the polymer film, either directly or with the diffraction enhancing element, diffraction of transmitted and/or reflected light occurs via the physical dimensions and defined, precise placement of the analyte. A diffraction image, such as a hologram, is produced which can be easily seen with the eye or, optionally, with a sensing device.
