Patent EP-1430291-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LAWSON SIMON CRAIG
IPC: G01N21/87
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: In order to determine whether a blue-to-green diamond (1) has been artificially irradiated or ion bombarded to change its colour, it is irradiated with light of 633 nm wavelength in order to stimulate the emission of luminescence, and luminescence from about 680 to about 800 nm is detected using a confocal microscope (3) and a spectrometer (8) as the focal plane (9) is scanned vertically through the diamond (1). A rapid decrease in luminescence with increase in depth indicates natural irradiation whilst a more rapid decrease indicates ion bombardment. Alternatively, in order to determine whether a diamond (1) is a natural/synthetic doublet, it is irradiated with radiation of 325 nm wavelength in order to stimulate the emission of luminescence, and luminescence from 330 to 450 nm is detected. An abrupt change in luminescence with increase in depth indicates that the diamond is a natural/synthetic doublet.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un marqueur de surveillance d'articles électroniques réagissant à des harmoniques, associé à une zone non enregistrée centrale et/ou à une zone non enregistrée périphérique d'un support optiquement enregistré ou optiquement enregistrable. Ce marqueur comprend au moins une bande allongée, présentant éventuellement une configuration bombée, et est constitué de matière magnétique molle conçue pour générer une tension de signal harmonique en présence d'un champ magnétique appliqué, ce qui permet de fournir au marqueur une identité de signal. Ce marqueur présente l'avantage d'être très peu coûteux à construire. Il peut être facilement fixé ou intégré à ladite zone non enregistrée centrale et/ou à ladite zone non enregistrée périphérique, et peut générer une tension de signal harmonique de haute amplitude, présentant une sensibilité de détection considérablement accrue. Grâce à ces attributs, le marqueur est particulièrement adapté à la surveillance électronique de supports enregistrés, notamment de disques compacts, des disques vidéo numériques, de disques laser et analogues.

Abstract: A toy comprises a toy element comprising a photochromic layer which
contains a photochromic compound having a photo memory function
(color-memorizing photochromic property), maintains a coloring state by
developing a color through the irradiation of ultraviolet rays or
sunlight containing ultraviolet rays and changes into decolorizing state
through its decolorization by the irradiation of visible light, and a
color-changing means which contains at least one of an ultraviolet ray
absorbent and a light-shading pigment capable of shading at least
ultraviolet rays, changes the photochromic compound of the coloring
state into decolorizing state by cutting off ultraviolet rays of
sunlight and thereby effecting irradiation of visible light, and
maintains the changed state, wherein a function to memorize and maintain
coloring and decolorizing states alternately is expressed by arranging
the color-changing means under such a condition that it is covering or
not covering the photochromic layer.

Abstract: In a solid-oxide fuel cell assembly, at least one positive
displacement air supply (PDAS) pump supplies at least a portion of the air
required for various functional air streams through the assembly. Mass
air flow through each PDAS pump is readily controlled to a predetermined
flow by controlling the rotational speed of the pump, obviating the need for
an MAF sensor and control valve. Preferably, each different air stream
through the assembly is controlled by its own PDAS pump, sized for the
required flow, allowing each to operate at its optimal pressure and thereby
minimizing the parasitic electrical cost of providing air to the SOFC
assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus and method to improve the speed,
scalability, robustness and dynamism of multicast data
transfers to remote computers. Many Grid Computing
applications, such as Genomics, Proteomics, Seismic, Risk
Management, etc, require a priori transfer of sets of files
or other data to remote computers prior to processing taking
place. Existing multicast and data transfer protocols are
static and can not guarantee that all nodes will contain a
copy of the replicated data or files. The fully distributed
data transfer and data replication protocol of the invention
permits transfers which minimize processing requirements on
master transfer nodes by spreading work across the network.
The result is higher scalability than current centralized
protocols, more dynamism and allows fault-tolerance by
distribution of functionality. The ability to distribute the
protocol is simplified through our innovative symmetric-connectionless
data transfer protocol.
