Abstract: A method for allowing a radiotelephone to scan for alternate radiotelephone systems, where each cellular radiotelephone system is within a corresponding geographic area and each cell has a base station providing paging and voice communication, includes a first step (304) of registering the radiotelephone on a radiotelephone system. A next step includes establishing (306) whether alternate technology scanning has been enabled for the radiotelephone. If alternate technology scanning is disabled, the radiotelephone receives paging messages from the base station and acknowledges the paging messages addressed to the radiotelephone (316). If alternate technology scanning is enabled (312), the radiotelephone scans (314) for an alternate technology while the base station repeats any paging messages addressed to the radiotelephone and ignores a lack of acknowledgement from the radiotelephone for paging messages addressed to the radiotelephone.

Title: Systeme de tri ameliore
Inventor: BRITTON DAVID
IPC: B07C3/06
Filed: 2002-01-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de tri de courrier amélioré. Le système comprend une trieuse qui exploite des informations relatives à chaque article de courrier, telles que l'adresse et la taille ou le poids, pour organiser les bacs collecteurs selon un ordre de tri déterminé. La trieuse comprend un grand nombre de petits bacs en lieu et place d'un nombre réduit de grands bacs collecteurs. Ainsi, un petit nombre d'articles de courrier peut être attribué à chaque bac, ledit bac correspondant, par exemple, à une maison ou personne privée domiciliée à une adresse commerciale. Les informations relatives à chaque article de courrier sont communiquées sous forme de données à la trieuse avant qu'elle ne commence le traitement d'un courrier. Ces données peuvent provenir de capteurs qui balayent l'article de courrier pendant la phase initiale du processus de tri dans des systèmes de tri classiques; elles peuvent également être apportées par le producteur du courrier. Les données sont configurées et transmises électroniquement de façon à précéder le courrier physique. Comme la trieuse connaît le numéro, la destination et l'épaisseur de chaque article de courrier, il est possible d'attribuer à chaque article de courrier suffisamment d'espace dans le bac approprié. Ainsi, des articles de courrier provenant de plusieurs sources peuvent être mélangés pour autant que les données électroniques soient préalablement introduites dans la machine. Comme chaque article de courrier présente une identification unique, il est possible d'attribuer à chaque article de courrier un emplacement unique dans la machine. L'invention concerne en outre un nouveau procédé pour débiter du courrier trié sur un transporteur de sortie.

Filed: 2002-02-18
Abstract: A pulse oscillation solid-state laser apparatus includes a laser apparatus main body using as an excitation source a laser diode emitting a beam in a main energy absorption band of a solid-state laser active medium. Prior to emitting a laser beam outside the laser apparatus main body, a calibration o f a pulse laser output value is performed by applying several types of rectangular pulse current values defined in the apparatus, to the laser diod e, so that the laser apparatus main body performs pulse oscillation. An average laser output value of each of the rectangular pulse current values is measur ed by using a laser output measurement instrument provided in the laser apparat us main body. After the average output value data is determined, when a laser output beam is outputted outside the laser apparatus main body, a pulse current value linearly predicted in accordance with the determined average output value data is applied to the laser diode, thereby determining a desir ed pulse laser output value.
