Abstract: The entryphone system includes a door station with a speech module and a key module with a number of keys, for connection to bus telephones via a two-wire bus line (BUS). The bus line is used to supply the telephones and the door station with a bus DC voltage. The operating current is provided by a central mains supply device (NG) coupled to a polarity switch (PSU). The bus DC voltage polarity is switched when a call signal is received by a bus telephone. The polarity switching is detected at the door station for connecting the speech module to the bus line.

Abstract: A digital camera includes a CPU. When a memory card recorded with an
additional program is mounted, the CPU detects a size of the additional program, a
maximum vacant area formed in a flash memory and a size thereof. The CPU then
compares the size of the additional program with the size of the maximum vacant area. If
the maximum area is sufficiently large, it is written by the additional program. On the
other hand, if the size of the maximum vacant area is not greater than the size of the
additional program, the photographed image data recorded following the maximum
vacant area is moved, for each cluster, to another vacant area, thereby extending the
maximum vacant area.

Abstract: The packaging uses an immobilized, silicone-based, internal lubrication layer. The sliding layer (3) is internal to the package (1), and is lubricated with a mixture of reactive and non-reactive silicone oils. An Independent claim is included for the method of making the package. The silicon oil mixture formed, is spread internally, and cross-linked in situ. PREFERRED FEATURES:- In a one-component system, the viscosity of the reactive silicone oil is 10,000-100,000 centistokes, With multi-component systems it is 200-5,000 centistokes, and the viscosity of the non-reactive silicone oil is 350-20,000 centistokes. Non-reactive oil forms 5-85% of the mixture. Sliding layer thickness is 10 nm-1 mu m and it extends over the full length. One or both end regions are uncoated. The plastics body is cyclo-olefin polymer or a copolymer of it (COC).

Abstract: The present invention relates to cloning recombinant DNA
molecules encoding a multi-specific methylase gene
 (bssHIIM1), Bss HII restriction endonuclease gene  (bssHIIR),  and
the cognate  Bss Hll methylase gene  (bssHIIM2)  from  Bacillus
stearothermophilus  H3  E. coli.  The  Bss HII multi-specific
methylase gene was first cloned in a  Sau 3Al library using a
modified pLITMUS28 vector (New England Biolabs, Inc., Beverly,
MA) with two  Bss HII sites. Expression of the multi-specific
 Bss Hll methylase renders the two  Bss Hll sites resistant to
 Bss Hll digestion. Surprisingly, the cloned methylase also
modifies some other sites in addition to  Bss Hll site
(5'GCGCGC3'). The methylase also modifies  Bsr FI site
(5'RCCGGY3') and  Hae II site (5'RGCGCY3'); and partially
modifies  Eag l site (5'CGGCCG3') and  MIu I site (5'ACGCGT3').
The beginning of the  bssHIIR  gene was cloned by using two
degenerate primers based on the N-terminal amino acid
sequence in PCR. The rest of the  bssHIIR  gene was cloned by
inverse PCR. The cognate  bssHIIM2  gene was cloned by inverse
PCR and PCR. The  Bss Hll restriction endonuclease gene was
expressed in  E. coli  host ER417 carrying three plasmids pLysP,
pLG-BssHIIM2, pET21AT-BssHIIR.

Abstract: The prosthesis comprises a femoral component (2) having at least one substantially
spheroidal condylar bearing surface (10, 11), a tibial component (6) including a tibial
platform (20), and a plastics meniscal component (7) located between the condylar bearing
surface (10,11) and the tibial component (6) and being slidable on the platform (20). The
meniscal component (7) is retained on a guide (23) upstanding from the platform (20).
The guide (23) includes a post (24) and a cap (25) which is a snap-fit in a recess (30) in
the meniscal component (7). The guide (23) is slidable in a track (32) within the meniscal
component (7) so that movement of the meniscal component (7) in the anterior/posterior
direction (A-P) is limited by impingement of the meniscal component (7) on the post (24)
and/or on a rail member (21) projecting from the surface of the tibial platform (20). To
install the prosthesis, a femur (1) is resected to provide a base for receiving the femoral
component (2), which is retained in the resected femur by pins (3). The tibia (4) is
resected to provide a flat base into which the tibial component (6) is fixed by a stem (5).

Abstract: A method of adding a word to a speech recognition
vocabulary includes creating a collection of possible
phonetic pronunciations from a spelling of the word and
using speech recognition to find a pronunciation from the
collection that best matches an utterance of the word.
The collection is created by comparing the spelling to a
rules list of letter strings with associated phonemes.
The list is searched for a letter string from the
spelling of length greater than one letter. The
collection is limited to phonetic pronunciations
containing phonemes associated with the letter string of
length greater than one. In another method, a net of
possible phonetic pronunciations of the word is created
from the spelling and speech recognition is used to find
the pronunciation from the net that best matches the
utterance of the word. The invention also features
methods of assigning a pre-filtering class to a word.

Abstract: In a recording/reproducing apparatus and a
reproducing apparatus based on a helical scan system for
recording or reproducing a video signal and an audio
signal on or from a magnetic tape (8) by use of a
magnetic head assembly (2-7) mounted on a rotary drum
(1), the recording/reproduction of an audio signal in
both a standard play mode with a tape speed equal to a
standard speed and a long play mode or N-ple play mode
with a tape speed N times (N: an integer not smaller than
4) as high as the standard speed is performed by a common
audio head (6, 7). At the time of reproduction in the
N-ple play mode, the optimum tracking control is
performed by a tracking control system (42) by use of an
output of the audio head (6, 7). At the time of
completion of recording in the N-ple play mode, a video
signal is supplied with a time prolonged corresponding to
the delay of scan of a video head (4, 5) from that of the
audio head (6, 7) so that a video track is surely overwritten
on an audio track. A high-speed fast feed/rewind
speed at the time of N-ple play mode is set to a low
value as compared with the tape speed at the time of
standard play mode, thereby ensuring the detection of an
index signal from the magnetic tape (8) in the N-ple play
mode.

Abstract: Surfaces of diamond crystals are examined by coating the surfaces with thin metal
films, launching laser beams to the diamond surfaces in a slanting angle, detecting defects and
particles on the diamond surfaces by the scattering of beams and counting the defects and

Abstract: The equipment (1) has an energy storage device (3) that supplies a remote control receiver (4) in standby mode and a switch (5) that can be operated in standby mode that can close and/or open at least one contact pair in response to a control signal from the receiver or to mechanical operation of the switch. The switch causes a change between standby and on modes by easy manual operation of a first thrust rod acting on a stepping switch so that a first contact pair can be closed or opened depending on its current state. This can also be effected in response to a signal from the receiver to a magnetic coil in the stepping switch. The switch can be manually set to a further operating mode for complete isolation from the mains. An Independent claim is also included for a switch for the equipment.

mainly passes through the inside of the coil-end portions 54
