Patent EP-0908766-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EARLE ANTHONY
IPC: G03D3/13
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: Apparatus for processing photographic material has a
plurality of stages for carrying out different
processing steps. At least one stage has a series of
processing regions each defined by an inclined surface
that extends between sets of rollers. The surfaces
may be of different length to provide different
residence times for the material. Processing solution
flows down the surfaces whilst the photographic
material is driven upwards in counter-current mode.
All the stages may be unidirectionally inclined end-to-end,
or they may be arranged in a U-shape so as to
minimise cross-contamination between the stages.

Inventor: SCHUERMANN JOSEFH
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1998-10-09
Abstract: In the method for the transfer of a digital data signal with
predetermined band width from a transmitter to a receiver, the
spread spectrum technique is used. In the method, the data
signal is modulo-2 added with a PN code sequence, the bit rate
of which is very much higher than the bit rate of the data
signal. A carrier is then modulated with the resulting spread
signal, after which the carrier is transmitted. The modulated
carrier is demodulated in a receiver and the demodulated signal,
to obtain the data signal, is multiplied with the PN code
sequence produced in the receiver, synchronised with the PN code
sequence of the transmitter by autocorrelation. A periodic
rectangular signal with a constant duty cycle is used code
sequence.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur une méthode d'imagerie diagnostique améliorée par des agents de contraste dans le contrôle de l'efficacité des thérapies d'intervention. Les agents de contraste utilisés dans cette méthode comprennent une fraction améliorant l'image (IEM) et une fraction de liaison tissulaire dépendant d'un état (SDTBM). Ces agents de contraste présentent une liaison dépendant d'un état à un ou plusieurs composants d'un tissu ciblé ou d'un composant tissulaire, ce qui entraîne une modification détectable dans les caractéristiques des signaux d'un agent, une fois lié au tissu ciblé. En conséquence, ces agents présentent une affinité de liaison au tissu ciblé, et donc un contraste d'image du tissu ciblé, ce qui permet de déterminer le changement d'état au cours de la thérapie.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de chauffage destiné à une machine de retrait par compression mécanique, dans lequel système on fait passer en série, à travers chacun des composants devant être chauffés, un milieu échangeur thermique liquide en écoulement continu. On transmet de la chaleur audit milieu en écoulement, en fonction de la température d'un des composants à chauffer, de préférence, du premier de la série. On obtient une certaine uniformité et une certaine constance des températures absolue et relative des composants raccordés en série. Un mélange d'eau et d'alcool de propylène glycol constitue un milieu échangeur thermique avantageux pour ce faire, et permet un fonctionnement à une pression inférieure sans présenter les problèmes de maintenance des systèmes utilisant, par exemple, de l'huile en tant que milieu échangeur.

Inventor: BROWN NANETTE
IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: The invention is a method and system for determining an address from a print
stream. Address determination begins by initiating the print stream at a remote application
(11 - 16) . The print stream is transmitted through a graphical driver interface to a virtual
driver where a system operator can select a data interface mode such as an eavesdrop
mode and an intercept mode. The eavesdrop mode allows the virtual driver to pass the
print stream through to the output device while producing a duplicate copy of the print
stream for transmission to a server (40) which is linked to an address parsing module for
parsing the print stream. The intercept mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print
stream directly to the server (40) for parsing the print stream. The server will in turn pass
the print stream to an output device such as a printer (60) or monitor (44) over
transmission means. Parsing of the print stream to obtain address data is performed in
accordance with instructions resident in the module. The address data is then placed into
an address list or database. The selection of the address parsing module is further based
upon the address characteristics required by the system user. The characteristics are
defined by creating an address data profile comprised of tokens and wherein the tokens
further define a characteristic of an address. The address parsing module can then be
selected as based upon its particular address format which can be representative of a
particular carrier.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus (2) is provided with
an automatic document feeder (8). Even if a document
is jammed in the automatic document feeder (8), what
is required of the user is to set all documents on
a document tray once again, including the jammed
document, documents from which image information have
already been copied, and documents from which image
information have not yet been copied. Of the documents
re-set on the document tray, the documents from which
image information have been copied are discharged onto
a discharge tray, without executing a copying operation.
In other words, a copying operation is executed only
for the documents from which image information have not
been copied. The number of documents from which image
information are copied is counted by checking the
outputs from an alignment sensor (205). The operation
for feeding documents from the document tray to the
discharge tray without a copying operation continues
until the count n of a recovery counter (110b) and
the count N of a document counter become equal to
each other. After the two counts become equal, the
documents fed from the document tray are subjected to
a copying operation.

Abstract: The contact seal consists entirely of a foamed metallic corrosion-resistant high-temperature alloy, fixed to the wall sector by high temperature soldering. Since there is no open-pore structure, the solder is not taken into the seal structure by capillary attraction, so the foam is easy to solder. The unfoamed raw material may first be connected to the wall sector, and then foamed.

Abstract: Air is separated by rectification. The air is compressed in a main air compressor 2 to a first pressure. Without further compression a first flow of the compressed air is cooled in a main heat exchanger 6 to a temperature suitable for its separation by rectification. The first flow is introduced into the higher pressure column 16 of a double rectification column 14 comprising, in addition to the higher pressure column 16, a lower pressure column 18, in which a bottom oxygen fraction containing from 50 to 98.5 mole per cent of oxygen is formed, and a condenser-reboiler 20 placing the higher pressure column 16 in heat exchange relationship with the lower pressure rectification column 18. A second flow of the compressed air is expanded with the performance of external work in an expansion turbine 32 without further compression of the second flow upstream of the expansion. The expanded second flow is introduced into the lower pressure rectification column 18. An impure oxygen product is taken from the said bottom fraction. The external work is the generation of electrical power, and thus the turbine 32 is coupled to an electrical generator 34.

Abstract: A computer operated apparatus for generating a

associated with an application is built using building
blocks such as scenes, data sources, global parameters,
and resources. A scene is a visual display of
information much like a presentation slide, except that
the information may be linked to data stored in a
database or other data storage systems. Within a scene,
values resulting from a data source are represented
graphically as user-defined data elements. Data sources
are built with a block diagraming tool which generates
one or more database queries. The queries may be SQL
queries. Scenes are created with a drawing editor which
transparently binds data sources to the graphical
elements of the scenes. When the virtual world is
completed, an execution image of the virtual world may be
represented as byte code. The byte code representing the
virtual world may be executed by a runtime control to
