Abstract: Ensemble mat (10) se plaçant à l'arrière d'un tableau de bord, destiné à être installé dans un véhicule et comprenant une couche antibruit (12) fixée à une couche absorbante (14). La couche antibruit (12) est composée d'un matériau relativement rigide tandis que la couche absorbante (14) est composée d'un matériau relativement souple. La surface interne de la couche antibruit (12) est en contact direct avec la surface externe de la couche absorbante. Des éléments de fixation (16) sont prévus pour fixer les couches ensemble. Chaque élément de fixation comprend une cheville allongée (22) dotée d'extrémités opposées et d'une collerette de retenue souple (24, 26), moulée en une seule pièce avec la cheville (22), à chacune de ses extrémités. Les collerettes (24, 26) s'étendent généralement de manière transversale par rapport à un axe central de la cheville et la longueur de chaque collerette est supérieure à la dimension de section de la cheville. Les dispositifs de fixation (16) traversent entièrement la couche antibruit (12) et peuvent s'étendre partiellement ou entièrement à travers la couche absorbante (14). La longueur de la cheville (22) est inférieure aux épaisseurs combinées des couches, de sorte que celles-ci soient maintenues ensemble sous compression. Un procédé de fixation des couches est également décrit.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to offer a
pharmaceutical composition containing an extract from
inflammatory tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus having a
suppressing action to death of cells and an excessive
production of nitrogen monoxide induced by endotoxin and an
improving action to hypotension induced by endotoxin. 
     The present invention is a novel pharmaceutical
composition containing an extract from inflammatory tissue
inoculated with vaccinia virus such as a nitrogen monoxide
production suppressor, a therapeutic agent for sepsis, an
antiendotoxinic agent and a therapeutic agent for endotoxin
shock. 
     In sepsis and other serious bacterial infectious
diseases, endotoxin (an intracellular toxin) is produced and a
shock symptom is induced by its action. Accordingly, the
substance of the present invention having an excellent
inhibitory action to the endotoxin-induced toxicity as
mentioned above is quite useful for the treatment or the
prevention of endotoxin-induced shock symptom, sepsis and
various symptoms accompanied thereby. In addition, the
substance of the present invention has an inhibitory action to
abnormal nitrogen monoxide production during the diseased
state and, therefore, it is also useful as a therapeutic and
preventive agent to the diseases wherein an excessive nitrogen
monoxide production is participated such as acute hypotension.

IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: This invention provides an optimal transmission connection
even if a VC (Virtual Connection) resource of a receiving ATM
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) terminal is insufficient by making ATM
terminals participate in an address resolution, while maintaining
compatibility with operations according to NHRP (Next Hop Resolution
Protocol) and ATMARP (Asynchronous Transfer Mode Address Resolution
Protocol). When a NHS (Next Hop Server) receives a NHRP reply packet
indicating a rejection response from a destination ATM terminal,
the NHS judges its VC resource condition. If the NHS judges that
its VC resource condition is sufficient for connecting, the NHS sends
a NHRP reply packet including its ATM address. When the NHS judges
that its VC resource condition is insufficient for connecting, the
NHS sends the NHRP reply packet indicating the rejection response
without modification. The NHRP reply packet is sent to an origin
ATM terminal via other NHS's. A VC setting and data transmission
after this is determined based on the reply packet.

Inventor: D AGOSTINO RICCARDO
IPC: C23C26/00

Abstract: The present invention deals with a method of treating polymeric or non polymeric
articles for making their surface super hydrophobic, i.e. characterized by static
water contact angle (WCA) values higher than about 120°, preferably higher than
130°, more preferably higher than 150°. The method consists of a modulated glow
discharge plasma treatment (1) performed with a fluorocarbon gas or vapor compound
fed in a properly configured reactor vessel where the substrates are positioned.
The plasma process deposits a continuous, fluorocarbon thin film with
super hydrophobic surface characteristics, tightly bound to the substrate. 
     The substrates of interest for the present invention may include a wide range of
materials in form of webs, tapes, films, powders, granules, woven and non-woven
layers; substrates can be porous or non-porous, molded or shaped, rigid or flexible,
made of polymers, textiles, papers, cellulose derivatives, biodegradable materials,
metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and other inorganic or organic materials.
Preferably, the substrate is formed into a desired shape or configuration, depending
on its intended use, before being subjected to the treatment object of this
invention. 
     When organic synthetic resins are chosen, such substrate materials could be fabricated
from polyethylene, polyacrylics, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride
polyamides, polystyrene,polyurethanes, polyfluorocarbons, polyesters, silicon
rubber, hydrocarbon rubbers, polycarbonates and other synthetic polymers. A
particularly preferred polymeric substrate is polyethylene or polypropylene.

Abstract: Wideband speech is synthesised from a bandlimited speech signal, for
example from speech which has been transmitted via the public switched
telephone network. 
     Due to the nature of the vocal tract, there is a correlation between a
bandlimited signal and those parts of an original wideband speech signal which are
missing from that signal. 
     In this invention narrowband speech is characterised in terms of estimated
formant frequencies provided by a peak picker 2. The frequency of formants in
speech give a good indication, for voiced sounds, as to the shape of the vocal
tract. The set of frequencies provided by the peak picker used to access a
codebook 4 which provides synthesis parameters for use by a synthesiser 5.

Abstract: A analog-to-digital conversion apparatus and method for mobile communication devices are
disclosed by the present invention. Because the conventional CMOS process does not allow
for high order anti-aliasing circuits to be fabricated with digital circuits on the same chip, a
new apparatus had to be developed to use low order anti-aliasing circuits for the analog-to-digital
conversion. The apparatus of the present invention includes a low order anti-aliasing
circuit, a delta-sigma converter, and post-conversion filters. The post conversion filters
include a decimation circuit, a droop correction filter, and an offset adjust circuit. In this
implementation, a low order analog anti-aliasing filter can be used along with a delta-sigma
converter and post-conversion filters to eliminate the need for high order analog anti-aliasing
filters.
