Patent EP-1459548-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BENJES IMMO
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: An interface module for a digital broadcast receiver comprises a transport stream generator and a storage means for holding an application, the transport stream generator being adapted to deliver an application from the storage means to the interface for reception by the receiver. In this way, the application arrives at the receiver in the manner of a broadcast application and can be dealt with in the same way. Compatibility issues are resolved since there is a standard allowing broadcast of such applications and the CI module of the invention mimics this. Third parties can deliver the application without hiring bandwidth and without having to prepare and hold inventory of multiple modules for different receivers. The module can be prepared with an application in place in situ, for example stored on a read-only memory storage means. Alternatively, the module can be supplied with a writeable and preferably non-volatile storage means to allow developers to use the module as a generic transport means. In a further development, the storage means of the module could be a removable storage media such as a CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, Zip, Minidisk, tape, PCMCIA, or the like. The invention also relates to a digital broadcast receiver comprising a common interface to which is attached a module as any one defined above, and to a method of delivering an application to a digital broadcast receiver, comprising the steps of providing a module as any one defined above, storing the application on the module, and delivering the module.

Abstract: la toxine botulinique peut s'utiliser pour enrayer la cascade d'événements conduisant à l'apparition de l'acné. Les résultats d'études préliminaires sont spectaculaires. Sans vouloir être absolument formel, on peut avancer l'hypothèse que la toxine botulinique agit par des effets parasympathiques en inhibant l'activité des glandes sudoripares et en stimulant la locomotion des kératinocytes, par des effets anti-inflammatoires et peut-être par des effets anti-androgéniques. La toxine botulinique peut contribuer de façon importante à réduire, voire à empêcher la formation de l'acné.

Abstract: A magnetically coupled transponder reader (234) allows
detection of errors in a received signal caused by a poor
or variable transponder (216) position during
transmission, without requiring transmission repetition.
The transponder (216) variably damps an electromagnetic
field from the transponder reader (234) to produce a
magnetically coupled transponder signal, the signal is
measured by a pair of Schmitt triggers (225,226) with
differing switching levels, and the outputs of the Schmitt
triggers (225,226) are compared to determine the quality
of the magnetically coupled transponder signal. Poor
quality signals will cause the outputs of the Schmitt
triggers (225,226) to differ for periods of time greater
than a predetermined time, while good quality signals will
cause the outputs of the Schmitt triggers (225,226) to
differ for periods of time less than the predetermined
time.
