Title: Methode d'utilisation d'un dispositif a couplage de charge en mode accelere et en liaison avec un imageur optique de symboles
Inventor: DOWLING JOHN H
IPC: H04N5/345
Filed: 1999-09-10
Granted: 2008-02-05
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une méthode d'utilisation de dispositif à couplage de charge en mode accéléré et, notamment, en liaison avec un imageur optique de symboles (10) et ce, afin de réduire les changements de position de l'imageur par rapport au code. Ce dispositif à couplage de charge (CCD) (93) possède un premier et un second registre de décalage horizontal recevant chacun une ligne de balayage sur deux, de sorte que la sortie de chaque registre de décalage horizontal est égale au nombre de lignes de balayage pour des signaux normaux de télévision (262). Dans le cadre de cette méthode, le dispositif saute à travers plusieurs lignes de données d'image (fig. 22), fournit une fréquence du noir de référence et image une série de lignes à faible vitesse, ces lignes étant les lignes concernées (fig. 23) par les opérations de mise au point et d'éclairement exécutées dans l'imageur optique de symboles. Les lignes restantes sont, enfin, balayées rapidement. L'imageur, qui revient au mode remise à zéro, après une opération en mode normal ou en mode accéléré, est immédiatement prêt à effectuer un autre balayage. Le fonctionnement en mode accéléré fait que l'imageur obtient quasiment les dix lignes de données d'image à lire en quasiment 5,5 millisecondes, ce qui représente un notable gain de temps. Cette opération peut être exécutée pour quelques positions optiques ou pour la totalité de ces positions.

Abstract: An elongated fibrous insulation blanket is pre-cut for custom fitting the insulation blanket into wall, floor, ceiling and roof cavities of different widths formed by the framework of a building. The blanket has one or more cuts extending for the length of the blanket which separate the blanket into two or more longitudinally extending sections. Adjacent sections of the blanket are joined together along the cut(s) by separable connectors which hold together the sections of the blanket for handling, but are separable by hand along the cut(s) so that the blanket can be handled as a unit for insulating a cavity having a predetermined width or easily separated by hand into two or more sections at a cut for insulating a cavity having a lesser width. Preferably, the separable connectors are formed by portions of sheets, overlaying and bonded to either or both major surfaces of the blanket, that are separable by hand along the cut(s) or by strips that extend along the cut(s) and are bonded to either or both major surfaces of the blanket on each side of the cut(s).

Title: Resource allocation in packet-format communication
Inventor: RAJALA JUSSI
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2001-06-08
Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for arranging the transmission of packets between a mobile communication device (MS) and a mobile communication network (NW). In the method, at least one temporary block flow (UL TBF, DL TBF) is set up, in which data is transmitted in packets in one or more packet data traffic channels (PDTCH) in a first direction from the mobile communication device (MS) to the mobile communication network (NW). At the end of the transmission in the block flow, information is set in the last packet (307) to be transmitted about the end of the block flow, wherein the receiver of the packets acknowledges (312) the reception of the packets. In the method, after the end of the transmission of packets in said first direction, a determined time is waited until an acknowledgement (312) is transmitted. If, during the waiting time, the mobile communication network (NW) detects a need for transmission of packets in the second direction from the mobile communication network (NW) to the mobile communication device (MS), at least one packet data traffic channel (PDTCH) is set up (311) for data transmission in said second direction.

Title: Cover for electromagnetic treatment applicator
Inventor: GEORGE FRANK R
IPC: A61N5/00
Filed: 2000-09-14
Granted: 2010-08-24
Abstract: A disposable cover for electromagnetic treatment applicators prevents undesired exposure to potentially harmful radiation. The cover is a pouch-like structure having a back surface (which faces opposite, or away from, the treatment area) constructed from shielding material, such as metallized polyethylene. At least a portion of the cover which faces the treatment area is constructed solely from non-shielding material. Securing means, such as adhesive strips, ZIP-LOCK®, or other interlocking edges, secure the applicator inside the cover and close off any leaks. The electromagnetic properties of the cover are integrated into the circuitry for the treatment applicator, such that the applicator is not functional in the absence of the cover. In use, an electromagnetic treatment applicator is inserted into the cover and positioned over the area to be treated, with the non-shielding, or "window", portion of the cover overlying the treatment area. Once assembled, the applicator/cover combination forms a closely matched and tuned network for effecting a highly efficient RF output. When activated, the generated electromagnetic energy only exits the cover through the opening or "window", thereby preventing exposure of the patient or caregiver to potentially harmful radiation.
