Title: Management of multi-context user interfaces of telecommunication terminals
Inventor: HOUDAILLE REMI
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the multiple-context management of the user interfaces of a plurality of user terminals connected to an automatic branch exchange. It enables the user interface of each terminal to be matched with one or more distinct and possibly simultaneous contexts of use imposed on the terminal. In a particular mode of application, for each terminal there is defined at least one total interaction profile (11 to 1N) comprising at least one interaction panel (21 to 2k). Each interaction panel is associated with a distinct context of use. The activation, by the automatic branch exchange, of a given interaction panel results in a matching of the user interface of said terminal with the context of use associated with this given interaction panel.  In operation, the automatic branch exchange, within said at least one total interaction profile, activates the interaction panel or panels associated with the context or contexts of use imposed on the terminal.

Abstract: A tournament is staged using an interactive communication system such as the  Internet. A plurality of players each compete against a host computer. Each player attempts to score a sufficient number of points to qualify as a superior player compared to others playing in the tournament. A player that obtains an upper level of performance may be recognized for his or her accomplishment and given a reward. This allows the players to each gauge his  or her skill level. In an extension of the basic tournament, a selected numb er or a selected percent of players can qualify to enter a playoff. In the playoff, players may again compete against a host computer and final contestants are selected as those achieving the highest levels of play. In a  further extension of the tournament a limited number of finalists are select ed by computer and are matched against each other, as contrasted to being match ed against a host computer. Player verses player continues in elimination fashi on.

Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: A control system (70) for vehicle (13) accessories differentiated from one another in terms of required voltage, current drawn, load duration and variability of energization levels utilizes generic interface modules to effect control. One or more generic remote interface modules (40), in addition to controllers such as engine (20) and chassis controllers (14, 16, 12, 102), are mounted on the vehicle for controlling actuation and energization of the non-standard devices, such as motors driving pumps for hydraulic lifts. An electronic system controller (ESC) (30) manages the remote interface modules (40) over a serial communication link to provide the specialized functionality.  Each remote interface module (RIM) (40) is constructed as a standard component capable of providing digital and analog outputs to devices attached to one or more output ports on the module. The remote interface (40) assumes a number of controller states under the control of the electronic system controllers (30) for regulating actuation and energization of the differentiated loads. Input ports are also provided for digital and analog inputs from sensors, which signals may be formatted for transmission to the electronic system controller (30). The electronic system controller (30) includes memory for storing a data structure specifying permissible remote interface module (40) states and a map to the module's ports to provide for the actuation and energization of the differentiated loads.

Title: An instrument to measure the amount of condensation during a gaseous sterilisation process
Inventor: MARTIN ANTHONY
IPC: G01N21/55
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a condensation monitor for measuring condensation on one side of a window (10) from the other side thereof, the window being located in an enclosure (23) mounted on a chamber wall with a part opening with the interior of the chamber. The monitor comprises a pair of optical prisms (14, 20) positioned on the other side of the window at spaced apart locations to provide transmission of an obliquely angled beam of light into the window and transmission of an obliquely angled beam of light out of the window. A light source (12, 13) adjacent one of the devices provides a parallel beam of light to be transmitted by said device into the window to travel along the window by reflection from side to side to the other device from where the light beam emerges and a ligth sensor (22) measures the amount of light emerging from the window. The amount of light transmitted along the portion between the optical devices depends on the amount of condensation on said one side of the window, condensation facilites losses of the light through said one side by refraction reducing the amount of light transmitted along the window to the light sensor.

Title: Hay chopper for animal feed
Inventor: ROUSSEAU VICTOR
IPC: B02C18/06
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A hay chopper is used for chopping elongated stems of hay into small fragments. The hay chopper comprises two superimposed screens comprising an identical set of slots recessed thereon. When the two screens are well aligned. effective slot windows result from the superimposition of slots from each one of the screens. A chopping element is also provided within the hay chopper, this chopping element comprising sharp-edged blades emerging periodically from underneath said screens through said effective slot windows, in order to cut the hay located onto the chopping element of the hay chopper. By varying the alignment between the two screens, the effective slot windows' width can be adjusted accordingly. It is the width of these slots that will determine approximately the length of the chopped fragments of hay that is allowed to slip therethrough by gravity and/or drive force from the rotating blades.
