Abstract: L'invention concerne un registre de cadeaux qui offre une option de paiement partiel aux individus (106) souhaitant faire don d'un cadeau, mais laisse la possibilité aux individus (108) ayant reçu un cadeau de procéder à un échange obligatoire ou conditionnel. Selon cette invention, le destinataire (108) du cadeau enregistre une idée de cadeau dans un magasin ou une entreprise (110) pour une quelconque occasion, une certaine somme étant associée à ce cadeau dans le registre. Tout individu qui s'enregistre ainsi a ensuite la possibilité de déterminer le montant du cadeau qu'il souhaite recevoir, ce montant n'étant pas nécessairement identique au prix en magasin de ce cadeau. Le destinataire (108) du cadeau indique en outre s'il est prêt à accepter un échange conditionnel ou à percevoir un remboursement en liquide, dans le cas où le système ne pourrait lui proposer de cadeau correspondant au montant susmentionné. Ce destinataire (108) peut par ailleurs choisir quel article sera obligatoirement échangé contre son cadeau ou être remboursé en liquide, ce qui laisse la possibilité à l'individu enregistré de rendre automatiquement le cadeau et d'obtenir un remboursement en liquide. Enfin, un individu (106) souhaitant offrir un cadeau peut passer ses idées en revue et évaluer son budget avant de choisir un cadeau.

Title: Method for producing graft copolymers, containing an elastic graft copolymer backbone
Inventor: MUELHAUPT ROLF
IPC: C08F210/02
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing graft copolymers, containing an elastic copolymer backbone. In a first stage of said method, a) ethene, as the principal monomer, is copolymerised co-ordinatively with an  alpha -olefin which is substituted with an alkoxyamine group as the additional comonomer in the presence of a transition metal compound which has been complexed using a bisimin chelate ligand, into an elastomeric graft copolymer backbone. In a second stage b) the copolymer produced in a) is reacted under controlled radical polymerisation conditions in the presence of monomers, selected from the group of vinyl aromatic compounds, vinyl heteroaromatic or vinyl heteroalicyclic compounds, alkyl esters, and amides of (meth)acryl acid, acryl nitrile, methacryl nitrile, maleimide or vinyl ferrocene and optionally also reacted in the presence of conjugated organic dienes, involving the formation of covalently linked graft branches. In a further stage c) the graft copolymer obtained in b) is either directly isolated, or the alkoxyamine groups which terminate the graft polymer lateral branches are first removed under reductive reaction conditions and the graft polymer thus obtained is subsequently isolated.

IPC: H03G3/00

Abstract: The present invention provides for high-efficiency power control of a high-efficiency (e.g. hard-limiting or switch-mode) power amplifier. The spread between a maximum frequency of the desired modulation and the operating frequency of a switch-mode DC-DC converter is reduced by following the switch-mode converter with an active linear regulator. The linear regulator controls the operating voltage of the power amplifier with sufficient bandwidth to reproduce the desired amplitude modulation waveform. The linear regulator rejects variations on its input voltage even while the output voltage is changed in response to an applied control signal. Amplitude modulation is achieved by varying the operating voltage on the power amplifier. High efficiency is enhanced by allowing the switch-mode DC-to-DC converter to also vary its output voltage such that the voltage drop across the linear regulator is kept at a low and relatively constant level.

Title: Surface-mount antenna and communication device with surface-mount antenna
Inventor: NAGUMO SHOJI
IPC: H01Q5/10
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: Power non-supplied side radiation electrode 3 and power
supplied side radiation electrode 4 are formed on the
surface of a dielectric substrate 2 with a space
therebetween. A permittivity adjusting material portion 8 is
provided in the space S which is situated between the power
non-supplied side radiation electrode 3 and the power
supplied side radiation electrode 4, and in which a capacity
occurs. The permittivity adjusting material portion 8 has a
lower permittivity than that of the dielectric substrate 2,
which causes the permittivity between the power non-supplied
side radiation electrode 3 and the power supplied side
radiation electrode 4 to be lower than that of dielectric
substrate 2, and weaken the capacitive coupling between the
power non-supplied side radiation electrode 3 and the power
supplied side radiation electrode 4. As a result, it
becomes possible to suppress the mutual interference of the
resonances of the power non-supplied side radiation
electrode 3 and the power supplied side radiation electrode
4, and to thereby improve antenna characteristics, without
taking measures such as widening of the space S between the
power non-supplied side radiation electrode 3 and the power
supplied side radiation electrode 4, or a reduction of the
permittivity of the dielectric substrate 2, the measures 
hindering the surface-mounted type antenna 1 from
miniaturization.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système servant à gérer le courant électrique dans un dispositif possédant une source de courant. Ce procédé (22) et ce système (26) comprennent un commutateur et au moins un contrôleur. Le commutateur est couplé à la source de courant et à une partie du dispositif. Le contrôleur est couplé au commutateur et sert à commander l'ouverture ou la fermeture de ce commutateur  en fonction d'instructions qu'il reçoit. Ce contrôleur bascule le commutateur afin d'exercer une modulation de largeur d'impulsion, ce qui permet de diminuer un premier courant (30) progressivement jusqu'à un courant désiré alimentant la partie du dispositif. Dans un autre aspect, ce procédé et ce système consistent à charger un logiciel de chargement afin d'effectuer une modulation de largeur d'impulsion dans au moins un contrôleur du système. Ce système comprend au moins un commutateur couplé à la source de courant, à une partie du dispositif et au contrôleur. Dans cet aspect, ce procédé et ce système consistent également à utiliser le contrôleur afin de basculer le commutateur, de manière à exercer une modulation de largeur d'impulsion basée sur le logiciel. Ceci permet de limiter progressivement un premier courant jusqu'au courant désiré alimentant une partie du dispositif.

Abstract: An error detection unit (11) of a variable-length
decoding unit (10) can detect an error that occurs in a coded
picture to be decoded to send error information on the error
to a control unit (8). When the control unit (8) determines
that an error has been detected or the frequency of occurrence
of errors is large enough to have a deleterious effect on decoded
pictures based on the error information, the control unit (8)
stops the transfer of decoded picture data to a display unit
(9). After that, the control unit (8) restarts the transfer
of decoded picture data to the display unit (9) when it
determines that no error has been detected or the frequency of
occurrence of errors is too small to have a deleterious effect
on decoded pictures. As a result, any hard-to-see picture
disturbed due to occurrence of errors, witch may provide a sense
of incompatibility for users, can be prevented from being
displayed.

Abstract: A shaving head comprises a cutting member a hair manipulator. The cutting member has a cutting edge which extends in a direction perpendicular to a shaving direction of the shaving head. The hair manipulator is arranged in front of the cutting edge, seen in the shaving direction, and can be driven in a direction parallel to the cutting edge. Hairs trapped by the hair manipulator are moved along the cutting edge while being cut, so that the cutting forces in the shaving direction are reduced. The cutting member can also be driven in a direction parallel to the cutting edge such that, seen in this direction, the cutting member and the hair manipulator move in opposite directions for a longer period of time than in equal directions. In this manner the cutting member has a stretching effect on the skin present immediately in front of the cutting edge, and said stretching effect of the cutting member intensifies a similar stretching effect of the hair manipulator.
