IPC: A63B25/10
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: The outsole (1, 3), particularly for sports shoes (2), can be provided with a high degree of elastic deformability in a tangential direction thereby achieving a good cushioning even when the shoe strikes the ground with a slanted and somewhat sliding impact. The invention provides that the outsole (1), beyond at least one critical deformation in the area deformed thus far, is, however, essentially stiff with regard to tangential deformation. This provides the runner with a more sure footing on the respective impact or loading point. The runner can push off once again from the loading point als o without losing ground. A floating effect on the sole is thus prevented. The sole can, as a whole or in several parts, also be detachably fastened to a middle sole (4) of the shoe (2).

Title: Filtering of broadcast sms messages
Inventor: QU HAI
IPC: H04M1/7243
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: Techniques for filtering broadcast SMS messages at a mobile station based on network configuration, user configuration, and/or user preferences. In one method, a broadcast message is initially received, and one or more filtering criteria are applied to the received broadcast message. The filtering criteria are defined by settings stored in a removable module (e.g., the R-UIM) coupled to the receiver. The received broadcast message is then processed if it is not filtered out by the one or more filtering criteria. The one or more filtering criteria may include (1) those imposed by a service provider and defined in a network configuration setting, (2) those determined by the mobile user and defined in a user configuration setting, (3) those selected by the mobile user based on user preferences, which allow for filtering of broadcast messages based on service category, language, and priority, or (4) any combination of the above.

Title: Method and apparatus for gray-scale gamma correction for electroluminescent displays
Inventor: CHENG CHUN-FAI
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2003-11-04
Abstract: A circuit and method of driving a display panel requiring gray scale control wherein the voltage applied to a row of pixels is equal to the sum of voltages of opposite sign with respect to ground applied respectively to the row electrode and column electrodes whose intersection with the row defines the pixels. Gray scale is realized through modulation of the voltage applied to the column electrodes. Typically for video application, 256 individual gray levels are required corresponding to luminance levels ranging from zero (no emissive luminance) to full luminance. The required luminance for each gray level is not a linear function of the gray level number but rather corresponds to an approximate quadratic function of this number. The present invention facilitates generation of luminance values for each gray level that approximates this functional dependence (i.e. Gamma corrected) with a non-linear voltage ramp terminated by a digital clock having 256 (8 bit) resolution. The voltage at the ramp termination is held at a constant value and fed to the output buffer of the gray scale drivers for the display columns.

Abstract: Dans notre vie quotidienne, l'électricité occupe une place vitale. L'énerg ie électrique est produite principalement dans les centrales thermiques fonctionnant principalement dans les combustibles fossiles. Les écologistes demandent que ces centrales soient transformées en faveur de sources moins polluantes. Les centrales nucléaires représentent un danger pour l'environnement à cau se des déchets radioactifs. L'hydroélectricité constitue de loin la meilleure façon de production. Privilégier cette technologie vaut dire la construction de barrages dont le coût ne cess e d'augmenter. Les parcs éoliens et l'hydrogène sont considérés comme une solution pour l'avenir énergétique de la planète. Dans la présente invention, l'électricité est produite par l'énergie contenu e dans une masse d'eau appelé cinétique "CINÉTIQUE". Notre procédé tel que décrit dans notre brevet permet de produire l'énerg ie électrique en très grande quantité à l'échelle mondiale. Il s'agit d'une énergie propre verte, renouvelable et inépuisable. Notre technologie n'exige pas la construction des barrages. En utilisant l'énergie cinétique de l'eau de la pluie qui se trouve en haut des montagnes l'efficacité énergétique d'une tonne d'e au est augmentée par dix au moins en comparaison avec l'hydroélectricité. Une nouvelle source d'énergie, négligé jusqu'à présent, va fournir des grandes quantités d'électricité pour nos sociétés énergétivores sans aucune pollutio n. Notre technologie va ouvrir la voie à la transmission de l'économie basée su r les combustibles fossiles à l'énergie cinétique. Présentement, le pétrole constitue 98% de l'énergie consommée par les transports. Il n'est pas inépuisable. Not re énergie est inépuisable.
