Patent EP-1175008-B1 (EP)
Inventor: NIELSEN GERT LYNGE
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2001-07-06
Granted: 2007-05-23
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is a frequency conversion circuit having a pair of local oscillators. The local oscillators are frequency synthesizers based on an external frequency reference. The frequency conversion circuit is configured to perform a frequency conversion to an input signal equal to a frequency difference of signals from the pair of local oscillators; to generate an oscillator frequency difference signal; to generate an error signal using the oscillator frequency difference signal and an internal reference signal derived from the external frequency reference; and to adjust a phase of one of the pair of oscillators using the error signal. The above-described frequency conversion circuit embodiment essentially eliminates divider phase noise such as that generated by traditional prescalers. In addition, the use of two local oscillators provides a frequency conversion circuit capable of wide-range frequency conversion and high resolution. This frequency conversion circuit embodiment is suitable for receivers as well as transmitters, and is particularly suitable for digital television systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The current invention relates to the preparation of an improved cathode active material for non-aqueous lithium electrochemical cell. In particular, the cathode active material comprises  epsilon -phase silver vanadium oxide prepared by using a  gamma -phase silver vanadium oxide starting material. The reaction of  gamma -phase SVO with a silver salt produces the novel  epsilon -phase SVO possessing a lower surface area than  epsilon -phase SVO produced from vanadium oxide (V2O5) and a similar silver salt as starting materials. Consequently, the low surface area  epsilon -phase SVO material provides an advantage in greater long term stability in pulse dischargeable cells.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés au téléchargement sécurisé de logiciel, comprenant un processeur de commande destiné à recevoir des blocs de codage téléchargés associés à une signature d'authentification informatisée obtenue à partir du contenu du bloc de codage. Un processeur sécurisé recalcule cette signature d'authentification à partir du contenu du bloc de codage téléchargé et compare cette signature à celle reçue avec le bloc de codage. Si la signature ne correspond pas ou si la signature est annexée aux données téléchargées, le processeur sécurisé détermine que le code provient d'un expéditeur autorisé ou qu'il a été modifié durant la transmission, probablement afin d'inclure un virus. Le processeur sécurisé prend alors les mesures de protection appropriées.

Abstract: A method for selectively heating cancerous conditions of the breast including invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive glandular lobular carcinoma, and pre-cancerous conditions of the breast including ductal carcinoma in-situ, lobular carcinoma in-situ, and intraductal hyperplasia, as well as benign lesions (any localized pathological change in the breast tissue) such as fibroadenomas and cysts by irradiation of the breast tissue with adaptive phased array focused microwave energy is introduced. Microwave energy provides preferential heating of high-water content breast tissues such as carcinomas, fibroadenomas, and cysts compared to the surrounding lower-water content normal breast tissues. To focus the microwave energy in the breast, the patient's breast can be compressed and a single electric-field probe, inserted in the central portion of the breast, or two noninvasive electric-field probes on opposite sides of the breast skin, can be used to measure a feedback signal to adjust the microwave phase delivered to waveguide applicators on opposite sides of the compressed breast tissue. The initial microwave power delivered to the microwave applicators is set to a desired value that is known to produce a desired increase in temperature in breast tumors. Temperature feedback sensors are used to measure skin temperatures during treatment to adjust the microwave power delivered to the waveguide applicators to avoid overheating the skin. The microwave energy delivered to the waveguide applicators is monitored in real time during treatment, and the treatment is completed when a desired total microwave energy dose has been administered. By heating and destroying the breast lesion sufficiently, lesions can be reduced in size and surrounding normal breast tissues are spared so that surgical mastectomy can be replaced with surgical lumpectomy or the lesions can be completely destroyed so that surgical mastectomy or lumpectomy is avoided.

Abstract: A smart card for use in conjunction with a security portal, such as a transit turnstile, a residential access gate, or a parking facility, for performing authentication checks for authorized passage. A print sensor is positioned on each major surface of the card in positions conforming to the natural placement of the thumb and a finger. The print sensors generate print pattern signals which are checked against authentic versions stored in non-volatile memory in the card, using a processor located within the card. The result of the authentication check is communicated to the associated external security portal by an r.f. circuit, which also receives r.f. energy from the external device to provide D.C. power for the circuits internal to the card. The card can be used on-the-fly without the need to stop at the check point, thereby facilitating traffic flow through the check point. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Garments are constructed from lyocell fabric which has been resinated using a textile resin having just two groups per molecule which can reactively cross-link with cellulose molecules of the lyocell fabric then causticised by application under tension of an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and the constructed garments are dyed in a garment dyeing operation. Garments can be produced by this route which retain a smooth, evenly-dyed appearance with unpuckered seams and minimal creasing and so present a desired formal look, as distinct from the casual look imparted by the effects of fibrillation normally produced when lyocell garments undergo garment dyeing.

In normal conditions, the mask (48) and tubing (50) are stowed within box (12) with lever (44) oriented in the gas-on position, so that the tubing (50) is pressurized and mask (48) may be quickly pulled from the box (12) and used. After such use, the switch lever (44) is shifted to the gas-off position, causing the tubing (50) to be depressurized; this allows easy restowage of the tubing (50) and mask (48) within the box (12). However, when door (22) is closed, the switch lever (44) is cammed back to the gas-on position, thereby repressurizing tubing (50) and returning the combination (10) to a full-ready condition.
