Abstract: the method involves modulating a signal input and passing the signal via a transmission channel to a receiver (11-15). A transmitter generates angle modulated pulses carrying the information and with a frequency spectrum. The pulses are compressed in the receiver using a filter (13) with a frequency dependent differential transition time and group transmission time to produce pulses of reduced duration and increased amplitude. At least a part of the information is used to modulate the pulses in the transmitter using a different modulation and to control a parameter of the angle modulation which can be detected in the receiver.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer les moments où il faut changer l'huile moteur ou en ajouter, pour un moteur de véhicule, en fonction de paramètres de fonctionnement du moteur détectés. Selon l'invention, au moins un paramètre de fonctionnement du moteur ayant un lien avec le vieillissement de l'huile moteur et le nombre de tours du moteur sont détectés, et à partir des valeurs obtenues, une distance fictive est établie par combinaison évaluative du nombre de tours du moteur détecté et des facteurs d'évaluation dépendant du ou des paramètres de fonctionnement du moteur détecté ayant un lien avec le vieillissement de l'huile moteur, selon un rapport de combinaison pouvant être prédéfini. A partir de cette distance fictive, la distance pouvant encore être parcourue jusqu'au prochain moment où il faudra changer l'huile ou en ajouter est calculée, la distance fictive déterminée étant, à cet effet, soustraite d'une distance totale possible prédéfinie.

Abstract: A method for assaying a sample involves an assessment device having an assay part and a detachable recording part, which are disposed on separable portions of a substrate. The sample to be assayed is received in a sample application well on the assay element, where it contacts a measuring element, generally after being mixed with an assay reagent. Assay information relating to the sample is transferred from the measuring element to data recording element on the recording part. After the information transfer, the assay part and the recording are separated, so that the assay part can no longer transfer information to the data recording element.

Abstract: On décrit un dispositif de détection thermique qui comprend un réseau de détecteurs thermiques, un réseau de structures de microponts contenant le réseau de détecteurs thermiques, un circuit intégré au silicium de lecture (ROIC) et une couche d'interconnexion sur laquelle est disposé le réseau de structures de microponts. La couche d'interconnexion comprend une série de canaux d'interconnexion conducteurs qui assurent un raccordement électrique entre les structures de microponts et des contacts d'entrée sur le ROIC, de sorte que les structures de microponts entrent en contact électrique avec le circuit intégré au silicium de lecture tout en étant séparées de ce dernier. Comme la couche d'interconnexion sépare les structures de microponts du ROIC, le matériau détecteur, généralement un matériau ferroélectrique, peut être fabriqué sur les structures de microponts à une température de dépôt ou de recuit non limitée par la crainte d'endommager le ROIC. Des températures de dépôt d'au moins 500 °C ou, de préférence, plus élevées (de l'ordre de 700 à 900°C) peuvent être mises en oeuvre par conséquent, ce qui permet de fanriquer de réseaux de détecteurs thermiques ferroélectriques ou microbolométriques de rendement élevé. On décrit en outre un procédé de fabrication de réseaux de détecteurs thermiques de rendement élevé incluant une couche d'interconnexion.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif qui permettent à un serveur d'accès au réseau (NAS) (220), associé à un commutateur de télécommunications (142), de combiner des protocoles informatiques à des signaux de télécommunication. Par exemple, un protocole point à point (PPP) (300) est associé à des signaux de réponse B (410) et de raccrochage B (510). Quand un abonné (205) compose un numéro le faisant entrer dans un NAS (220) afin d'accéder à un réseau privé (166) (Internet par exemple), les différentes phases d'un PPP (300) sont adressées. La phase réseau (340) fournit une capacité de communication allant de l'abonné (205) à Internet. Selon un premier aspect de la présente invention, un signal de réponse B (410) est envoyé au réseau de télécommunication après l'entrée en phase réseau (340). Selon un second aspect de la présente invention, un signal de raccrochage B (510) est envoyé au réseau à peu près au moment de la transition de 'clôture' du PPP. La facturation du réseau de télécommunication est ainsi consécutive et directement proportionnelle à la communication Internet fournie à l'abonné (205).

Abstract: The separator (10) has a twisted inlet imparting spin to the fluids.   The separator (10) removes a small proportion of light fluid from a larger proportion of a heavier fluid which may also incorporate some sludge, from a mixture of e.g. oil and water. The separator has a separator basin (12) for fluid which is retained to a minimum depth by an overflow pipe (18). The basin also has an inlet pipe (14), and outlet pipe (16) and a tubular light fluid collector (20). The mixture enters through the inlet pipe and is released into the collector where the heavier fluids and sludge descend to the lower sector (26) within the separation basin. A separation panel (30) within the collector curves from the collector wall (22) to the collector axis (24) to form a spiral intermediate space (36), and an outer intermediate space (38) against the collector wall. The wall and separation panel each have an upper edge (40, 42) which is at least in part higher than the lowest fluid level. The inlet pipe funnels tangentially through the collector wall into the outer intermediate space at ca. the same height.

Abstract: A switched-capacitor circuit (35), and analog-to-digital converter (50) incorporating the same, is disclosed. The disclosed switched-capacitor circuit (35) receives differential input signal voltages (Vin<+>, Vin<->) and differential reference voltages (Vrefp, Vrefn), based upon which differential output voltages (Vout<+>, Vout<->) are generated by way of sample-and-hold, and amplify, operations. In a larger context, such as in a pipelined ADC (50), multiple switched-capacitor circuits (35) are implemented, each receiving the differential reference voltages (Vrefp, Vrefn) from a voltage reference circuit (20). In addition to the sample clock ( phi 1) and amplify clock ( phi 2), a precharge clock ( phi 2') is provided to the switched-capacitor circuit (35) to connect the sample nodes (VA, VB) of the switched-capacitor circuit (35) to a midlevel voltage (Vmid), prior to the active phase of a reference clock ( phi 2'') connecting the sample nodes (VA, VB) to the reference voltages (Vrefp, Vrefn). As a result, the loading presented by the switched capacitor circuits (35) to the voltage reference circuit (20) is greatly reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The input signal is transformed into the frequency domain and then subdivided into bands corresponding to different frequency ranges. Adaptive thresholds are applied to the data from each frequency band separately. Thus the short-term band-limited energies are tested for the presence or absence of a speech signal. The adaptive threshold values are independently updated for each of the signal paths, using a histogram data structure to accumulate long-term data representing the mean and variance of energy within the respective frequency band. Endpoint detection is performed by a state machine that transitions from the speech absent state to the speech present state, and vice versa, depending on the results of the threshold comparisons. A partial speech detection system handles cases in which the input signal is truncated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wiper for use in a container for pasty products, such as mascara, lip gloss, eyeshadow, dental or oral care products, ointments, or the like, which wiper allows for the wiping of excess product from an applicator as the applicator is withdrawn from a container, but does not wipe the applicator as it is placed into the container. The wiper of the present invention comprises two or more flaps capable of occupying a first scraping position, when the applicator is withdrawn from the container, and a second non-scraping position, when the applicator is returned to the container. The non-scraping position of the flaps allows the applicator to be placed into the container without being wiped. This characteristic reduces the build-up of product within the neck of the container, thus providing a cleaner, aesthetically pleasing package for the consumer to use.
