Patent EP-1312040-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH DAVID C
IPC: G06V40/13
Filed: 2000-12-28
Abstract: A system and method of capturing an acceptable fingerprint image is disclosed herein. The method includes a step of capturing an initial fingerprint image at a nominal image integration time. Once this initial fingerprint image is captured, a first intermediate fingerprint image at a first intermediate image integration time is captured. Next, an image darkness test is performed followed by an image definition test. If one or more of these tests indicates that the first intermediate fingerprint image is unacceptable, a subsequent intermediate fingerprint image at a subsequent intermediate image integration time is captured. This subsequent intermediate fingerprint image can be captured before the image definition test is performed. Additional intermediate fingerprint images can be captured until an image that has an acceptable darkness level as a well as an acceptable definition level is captured. Also disclosed is a fingerprint scanner that performs this method.

Abstract: A method for referencing locations is used in a transport telematics context
by effecting such referencing viz à viz an overall geographic context. In
particular, a first road segment is designated by a service provider between
two successive pivot points as providing a minimum weighted distance
therebetween. Furthermore, any second road segment that is a disjoint
alternative to the whole or a part of the first road segment gets assigned a
weighted distance that is substantially greater. Preferably, such pivot points
(72, 78, 86, 88) for one or more classes of major roads are located away
from adjacent road junctions.

Abstract: A phase-lock loop (PLL) is formed by a voltage-controlled oscillator
(51), a local optical pulse source (2), an optical branching device (12) for
branching the locally generated optical pulse stream from the local optical
pulse source (52), a harmonic component local generation part (30) for locally
generating harmonic component electrical signal from the one of two
branched locally generated optical pulse streams, and a phase comparison part
(40) for comparing the phases of the locally generated harmonic component
electrical signal and an incoming signal component electrical signal generated
from an incoming optical signal pulse stream and for supplying the voltage-controlled
oscillator (51) with a control voltage corresponding to the phase
difference between the two input electrical signal. The other branched
output from the optical branching device (12) is output as a locally generated
optical pulse stream bit-phase synchronized with the incoming optical signal
pulse stream.

Abstract: A terminal 121 receives input data regarding a desired product, and sends a message
including information regarding the product to a sales server 141. The sales server 141
receives this message, acquires the price of the product, and sends a message including
the price and a settlement server 161 to the terminal 121. The terminal 121 receives this
message, accepts input data of a scratch number of a prepaid card, and sends a message
including the scratch number, the price and the sales server 141 to the settlement server
161. The settlement server 161 receives this message, acquires the balance
corresponding to the scratch number. If the balance is not less than the price, the
settlement server 161 updates the balance by subtracting the price from the balance, and
sends a message that the settlement has been succeeded to the sales server 141. The
sales server 141 receives this message and provides the desired product.

Abstract: Etherification process comprises an effluent from catalyzed reaction of an olefin with an alcohol is separated into two fractions, a primary fraction rich in ether and a second fraction containing residual alcohol and nitrogen compounds. Before recycling, the latter is treated to remove at least 50% concentration of nitrogen compounds by addition of acidic absorbent mass. An etherification process comprises: (1) contact of an alcohol and a light olefin charge, containing nitrogen products liable to deactivate the catalyst, in the presence of an acid catalyst; (2) separation of the effluents to obtain a primary ether-rich fraction and a second fraction containing most of the residual alcohol and nitrogen compounds; and (3) recycling of the second fraction to the reaction zone. Prior to recycling to the reaction zone, the second fraction is contacted with an acidic adsorbent mass to lower the content of nitrogen compounds by at least 50%. An Independent claim is also included for the installation to effect the process.
