Filed: 1997-09-29
Abstract: A card alignment mechanism for an ICC card (30) has
first and second arms (12,14) biased towards each other
about the same pivot point (16) by a spring (24). One
arm (12) carries a card read head (18), the other arm
(14) carries a card stop lip (20). A solenoid (28)
rotates the arms about the pivot point (16); the card
stop lip (20) on the second arm (14) contacts the card
(30), and the first arm (12) continues to rotate until
the spring (24) is fully compressed, when the card read
head (18) is correctly positioned with respect to the
card. 
     When the mechanism is incorporated in an ATM, the
arms (12,14) can be retracted to their rest position, and
the card (30) moved past the mechanism to a card capture
bin (45) without restriction.

Abstract: An interconnected book-package system permitting the circuit boards
within book packages to communicate exclusively of the backplane. This
permits a circuit board that would otherwise have to be constructed from
a larger than standard size circuit board and housed within a larger than
standard size book package to be formed out of two standard size or
smaller circuit boards housed within standard size book package
assemblies. This is especially useful to customers seeking upgrade
flexibility. The book packages of the interconnected system are
connected mechanically and electrically exclusively of the backplane by a
connection assembly that makes it possible to blindly plug the book
packages together. Multi-book latch assemblies make it possible for the
connected books to be plugged into the backplane as a unit. An
electrically conducted gasket is positioned between two connected book
packages and around the connection assembly to provide ESD and EMI
protection for the interconnected circuit boards. A floating backplane
connector relieves the build up of tolerance between book packages of the
same pitch and permits such book packages that have been connected
together to be connected to a backplane having a different pitch.

Abstract: A method of determining the probable wear experienced by
a prime mover having moving parts which involves measuring
the useful life of the prime mover under one particular
operating condition and thus one rate of energy input e.g.
fuel to arrive at an optimum life and then measuring the
life under other operating conditions such as load and
environment to obtain compensating factors which can be
applied to the energy input under these operating
conditions to get a measure of the probable accumulated
wear and thus its potential future useful life.

Abstract: A method for allowing flexible multiple access to a
serial bus by a plurality of circuit boards. Before a circuit
board can be used on a common serial bus with other circuit boards,
a unique software address must be assigned to each circuit board.
The unique software address is assigned by having a bus master
device issue Assign Address commands which utilizes a unique serial
number which is stored on each circuit board. The Assign Address
command queries each of the circuit boards coupled to the serial
bus and assigns a unique software address to each circuit board
that fully responds. The Assign Address command is repeated for
each circuit board on the serial bus until all of the circuit
boards on the serial bus have been assigned a unique software
address.

Abstract: A technique to modify the input data to any system so as
to cancel errors in the transfer function of that system. The
system error response to each possible input amplitude transition
is determined. A compensating input sequence is calculated
which compensates for this error. The error-correcting sequence
is stored in memory (580A-580Y) for each possible transition.
These pattern sequences exactly cancel errors in the response
to each of the possible, individual sample-to-sample transitions.
For each of any series of input data sample transitions,
the appropriate correction sequence is recalled from memory.
The composite corrected input is the sum (586) of Y correction
sequences from Y preceding sample transitions.

Abstract: Method uses high resolution glass fiber tapering unit (1) with larger (2) and smaller (3) end surfaces. The larger surface at least matches the test surface of the sample carrier (4), and the smaller surface at least matches the dimensions of image sensor (6). Ratio of surfaces (2,3) gives the reduction measure of the imaging optics, such that the whole test surface (4) is pictured by image sensor. The flat sample carrier is a micro titration plate (4) with a number of holes to hold the signal-emitting test material (5). The image sensor (6) has an image amplifier and a video camera to convert the amplified image into electronic signals. The glass fiber tapering unit (1) gives a complete and reduced image of the micro titration plate (4) for the entry window of the image amplifier. The image amplifier is a bialkali photo cathode, with a spectral sensitivity of less than 1% at wavelengths of more than 700 nm. The micro titration plate (4) is in a sliding drawer holder, with horizontal and vertical movements. After its horizontal insertion into the apparatus, it is raised vertically until the larger surface (2) of the tapering unit (1) is in direct contact with the plate (4) surface. The smaller surface (3) of the tapering unit (1) is in direct contact with the entry window of the image amplifier. The entry window, at the image amplifier, is a glass fiber plate, to transfer the image directly to the following photo cathode of the image amplifier. To minimize reflection losses, the air space between the tapering unit (1) and the entry window is filled with an oil film, with a refraction index matching the refraction index of the tapering unit (1). The micro titration plate (4) has an optically transparent base. The plate holder is a frame structure, with a lamp under the plate (4) to give fluorescent excitation to the material being held in the plate (4) for study, giving a bundled light at an angle to the optical axis. The whole apparatus can swing by 180 degrees round a horizontal axis. The measurement system has an additional micro pipette system, with the separate pipettes aligned with the test holes in the micro titration plate (4).

Abstract: The antenna uses the heating element on the windscreen as the antenna with an HF connection (4) for coupling signals in and out and heating connections for delivering heating power. The heating power is generated by an AC generator (6) that is not RF-isolated from earth which supplies current to a transformer (7) primary (9). The transformer primary and secondary (10) are isolated by a high RF impedance so the antenna is not loaded with a low impedance by the heating connections even in its VLF range.

Title: Unite d'abonne et procede d'utilisation de ce dernier dans un systeme de communication sans fil

IPC: H04J13/10
Filed: 1998-06-30
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ensemble de canaux d'abonné à ajustement individuel en gain (A,B,C, pilote) qui est formé à l'aide d'un ensemble de codes de sous-canaux orthogonaux (Walsh+-,Walsh++--) ayant un petit nombre de puces d'étalement PN par période d'onde orthogonale. Les données devant être transmises via l'un des canaux de transmission sont codées avec une correction d'erreurs à faible débit de code et elles sont répétées en séquence avant d'être modulées avec l'un des codes de sous-canaux, ajustées en gain, et additionnées avec des données modulées au moyen des autres codes de sous-canaux.. Les données additionnées obtenues (316) sont modulées à l'aide d'un code utilisateur long et d'un code d'étalement pseudo-aléatoire (code PN) et montées en fréquence pour être transmises. L'utilisation des codes orthogonaux courts permet d'éliminer les interférences tout en permettant néanmoins un codage de correction d'erreur étendu et une répétition à diversité dans le temps protégeant des évanouissements de Raleigh qui affectent normalement les systèmes de communication sans fil de Terre. L'ensemble des codes de sous-canaux peut comprendre quatre codes Walsh, chacun d'eux étant orthogonal par rapport aux autres codes de l'ensemble. Un mode de réalisation préféré fait appel à quatre sous-canaux étant donné qu'ils permettent d'utiliser des codes orthogonaux plus courts, mais l'utilisation d'un plus grand nombre de canaux et, par conséquent, de codes plus longs est néanmoins acceptable. De préférence, les données pilotes et les données de commande sont combinées en un seul canal. Les deux canaux de transmission restants sont utilisés pour la transmission de données numériques non spécifiques comprenant des données utilisateur ou des données de signalisation, ou les deux types de données.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs de compression d'images fixes, de compression vidéo et de reconnaissance automatique de cibles. Le procédé de compression d'images fixes utilise la projection multiple de singularités isomorphes, dans laquelle les surfaces d'objets associées à des représentations multiples de singularités sont représentées par des polynômes canoniques de meilleur appariement, de façon à générer une représentation modèle. Cette représentation est comparée à la représentation originale, de façon à générer une différence. Si la différence dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, les données de différence sont sauvegardées et comprimées par une technique standard de compression avec pertes. Les coefficients provenant du polynôme de meilleur appariement, ainsi que les données de différence, si elles existent, sont ensuite comprimés par une technique de compression sans perte. Le procédé d'estimation de mouvement pour la compression vidéo améliorée envoie des trames I 'en fonction des besoins', en se basant sur la comparaison de l'erreur entre les segments d'une trame active et ceux d'une trame prédite. Si l'erreur dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, qui peut être basé sur un contenu de programme, la prochaine trame envoyée sera une trame I. Le procédé de reconnaissance automatique de cibles (ATR), comprenant la poursuite, la variation de focale et l'amélioration des images, utilise la projection multiple de singularités isomorphes pour séparer les parties texture et sculpture d'une image. L'ATR douce est ensuite appliquée à la partie sculptée et l'ATR dure à la partie texture.

Abstract: Dans la recherche de séquences régulatrices de plantes capables d'entraîner l'expression du gène effecteur déclenchée par les nématodes dans les structures d'alimentation, le marquage par promoteurs semble être un outil précieux. Un grand nombre de plantes transgéniques Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) a été généré. Elles ont été transformées par un gène de β-glucuronidase fonctionnant comme marqueur de promoteur. Deux produits de reconstruction d'ADN-T, pGV1047 et pΔgusBin19 ont été utilisés. Les réponses précoces à l'invasion par les nématodes ont été trés interessantes. Quatre lignées présentant une activité GUS dans les syncytia induite par les nématodes à kystes de la betterave ont été étudiées. L'activation du gène reporter a également été identifiée dans les galles induites par les nématodes ectoparasites et des neudosités des racines. Des études ont montré que les quatre marqueurs étaient activés de manière différentielle pendant le développement de la structure d'alimentation. Des zones adjacentes ADN-T responsables des réponses observées après la nématodose ont été isolées et caractérisées pour l'activité du promoteur.
