Abstract: The method involves separating a train of carriages (WV) into individual carriage groups (A,B) or carriages (N) according to a separation specification (ZV). The separated train is moved over the apex (GI) of a switching hump (AB) so that groups of carriages or individual carriages roll downwards as separated outputs under gravity and accelerate. The departure speed of at least the leading axle is determined in the region of the hump apex over the section following the separation. A reference exit speed is determined and an emergency response (NS) is triggered if the measured speed exceeds it.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de protection anti-copies d'informations de contenu comprenant un dispositif de réception et de commande de la lecture d'une vidéo codée. Le contenu de la vidéo, par exemple une vidéo numérique comprimée MPEG, est filigrané et comporte un signal de commande indiquant le statut (par exemple, restitution seule, autorisation d'une copie d'une seule génération, etc.). Au niveau du dispositif récepteur, il y a exécution d'une vérification visant à autoriser la restitution en tenant compte du filigrane. Le filigrane est extrait dans un dispositif décodeur séparé, tel qu'un décodeur MPEG externe. Le dispositif récepteur commence la restitution par l'intermédiaire du décodeur externe, le décodeur séparé communiquant les informations sur le filigrane extraites à travers une liaison au dispositif de lecture. Le dispositif de lecture confronte l'information sur le filigrane à d'autres informations annexes, telles qu'une marque physique sur le support d'enregistrement ou le signal de contrôle. Ladite communication peut être protégée par des méthodes cryptographiques, telles que la signature numérique.

Abstract: An interactive computer configuration system is an aid for a sales person or a customer to make it easy to grasp and configure a huge configuration problem. The user interacts with the computer system and makes many choices successively, and a configuration engine checks each choice for validity. The configuration engine comprises a configuration model defining mutual predefined relations between the selectable elements and comprises programs for validating a set of choices against said configuration model. The invention relates to the situation where a requested choice made by the user corresponds to an invalid configuration instance. According to the invention, the user is allowed to insist on this choice and an alternative investigation system according to the invention will present to the user a number of relevant proposals for undoing choices made previously so that a valid configuration instance can be obtained. According to the invention only relevant proposals are presented to the user and further in the most expedient way, seen from a customer's point of view. According to the invention the lowest possible number of choices to be undone is first presented to the user. Yet, a further aspect of the invention allows the user, during the alternative investigation process, to make previous choices cardinal choices, whereby the relevance of the proposals for obtaining alternatives will be further enhanced.

Abstract: A plurality of field emission device cathodes each generate emission of electrons, which are then controlled and focused using various electrodes to produce an electron beam. Horizontal and vertical deflection techniques, similar to those used within a cathode ray tube, operate to scan the individual electron beams onto portions of a phosphor screen in order to generate images. The use of the plurality of field emission cathodes provides for a flatter screen depth than possible with a typical cathode ray tube.

Abstract: This invention is directed to making chemical derivatives of carbon nanotubes and to uses for the derivatized nanotubes, including making arrays as a basis for synthesis of carbon fibers. In one embodiment, this invention also provides a method for preparing single wall carbon nanotubes having substituents attached to the side wall of the nanotube by reacting single wall carbon nanotubes with fluorine gas and recovering fluorine derivatized carbon nanotubes, then reacting fluorine derivatized carbon nanotubes with a nucleophile. Some of the fluorine substituents are replaced by nucleophilic substitution. If desired, the remaining fluorine can be completely or partially eliminated to produce single wall carbon nanotubes having substituents attached to the side wall of the nanotube. The substituents will, of course, be dependent on the nucleophile, and preferred nucleophiles include alkyl lithium species such as methyl lithium. Alternatively, fluorine may be fully or partially removed from fluorine derivatized carbon nanotubes by reacting the fluorine derivatized carbon nanotubes with various amounts of hydrazine, substituted hydrazine or alkyl amine. The present invention also provides seed materials for growth of single wall carbon nanotubes comprising a plurality of single wall carbon nanotubes or short tubular molecules having a catalyst precursor moiety covalently bound or physisorbed on the outer surface of the sidewall to provide the optimum metal cluster size under conditions that result in migration of the metal moiety to the tube end.
