Abstract: Device for the collection of animal excrements,
and in particular of dog excrements. Such
device consists of a box-shaped element made of
biodegradable material, preferably obtained from a
cardboard blank suitably shaped and assembled, consisting
of four side walls (1, 4, 202, 301) connected

position in which the box bottom is open, so as to
allow the box to be put on the excrement (10) to be
removed, to a position in which such bottom is
closed, so as to seize the excrement (10) within
the box itself, thus allowing its removal from the
ground (9).

Abstract: Radially inward projecting guide surfaces (16) in the sliver inlet (11) restrain the outer layers of the drawn sliver (10) while free passage is given to a core fiber bundle. On emerging from the inlet (11) a rotating air stream set up by air jets (21) wraps the outer fibers round the core to produce a yarn (26) in the spindle tube (13). The core fiber bundle comprises preferably 20 - 40% of the sliver. The guide surfaces (16) can take various forms, e.g. plates, slots or needles and can be flexible or their position can be made adjustable.

bottom, a filter element 20 received within the casing 10, a lid
30 which closes an open end of the casing 10, and has a
communication hole communicating the inside and outside of the

the casing 10 and the lid 30 together. A gap is formed between
a peripheral wall 14 of the open end portion of the casing 10 and
a peripheral surface 32 of that portion of the lid opposed to the
peripheral wall 14. A radial seal width w of an annular elastic
seal member 18 to be mounted in the gap is larger than a width

Abstract: A technique for dynamic call processing which utilizes information collected
from the calling party's information appliance to route an incoming call. A variety
of information is dynamically captured and stored by the calling party's information
appliance, e.g., telephone, computer, set top box and the like, over time. The type of
information includes, but its not limited to, items such as personal data, credit
information, purchasing history, market study data, and geographical information.
In accordance with the technique, when the calling party places a call to a call center
location, the information stored in the calling party's information appliance is
accessed and used to route the call to an appropriate agent in the call center.
Advantageously, incoming call center calls are dynamically routed without the
reliance on static applications, databases or other traditional network management
techniques.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of testing interconnections in integrated circuit (IC) assemblies. Hereto, a test signal is applied to an IC pin (110) providing an input terminal to the interconnection. In known methods, such as the boundary-scan method, a response signal is measured on an output terminal of the interconnection, provided by a further IC pin. According to the invention, however, a response signal is evaluated which is generated on the same terminal (110) as to which the test signal is applied. This has the advantage that the method of the invention can be applied when only one end of the interconnect to be tested can be supplied with appropriate test hardware. The method is particularly suited for testing capacitance (195) between an IC pin (110) and a supply line, e.g. a ground line.

Abstract: A fluid density measurement device includes a float (12) and a weight (14), each mounted on links (16) for essentially vertical movement. A crank (22) is mounted above the float and weight and is connected to them by a float link (24) and a counterweight link (28) to convert the forces from the float and the forces from the weight to rotational forces on the crank acting in opposite directions. The position adopted by the crank will be dependent upon the density of the fluid in which the instrument is immersed. The links (16) are arranged so that a good approximation to straight line motion is obtained at the centre of the float and the weight.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved vial transfer assembly or vial transferset which may be attached to a vial under sterile conditions and used to transfer fluid to or from a conventional vial. The transferset includes a tubular transfer member which is sealingly supported on the rim portion of a vial stopper, a piercing member having a piercing end reciprocally supported by an internal surface of the transfer member, a cap enclosing the tubular transfer member and a collar preferably formed of a malleable material which secures the assembly on the stopper, which is crimped beneath the vial rim. The piercing member has a generally longitudinal external channel which, upon piercing the planar portion of the stopper, establishes fluid communication with the vial through the tubular transfer member. The distal end of the tubular transfer member includes a Luer lock for establishing fluid communication to a syringe, IV set or the like. An annular lip on the proximate end of the tubular transfer member stretches and prestresses the central portion of the planar stopper rim and the piercing member is supported in the transferset such that the piercing end deforms the prestressed stopper rim portion.

Abstract: A data mining system for use in finding clusters of data items in a database or any other data storage medium. The clusters are used in categorizing the data in the database into K different clusters within each of M models. An initial set of estimates (or guesses) of the parameters of each model to be explored (e.g. centriods in K-means), of each cluster are provided from some source. Then a portion of the data in the database is read from a storage medium and brought into a rapid access memory buffer whose size is determined by the user or operating system depending on available memory resources. Data contained in the data buffer is used to update the original guesses at the parameters of the model in each of the K clusters over all M models. Some of the data belonging to a cluster is summarized or compressed and stored as a reduced form of the data representing sufficient statistics of the data. More data is accessed from the database and the models are updated. An updated set of parameters for the clusters is determined from the summarized data (sufficient statistics) and the newly acquired data. Stopping criteria are evaluated to determine if further data should be accessed from the database. If further data is needed to characterize the clusters, more data is gathered from the database and used in combination with already compressed data until the stopping criteria has been met.

Abstract: Pour identifier un automate fini et vérifier la conception d'un circuit, l'invention identifie, dans la description du concept, un ensemble de constructions (602), une construction de l'ensemble (604), et un objet dans la construction (606); elle identifie ensuite un premier sous-ensemble de construction de l'ensemble de constructions pouvant commander une modification de la valeur de l'objet (608), puis identifie un deuxième sous-ensemble de constructions dont les valeurs peuvent être modifiées directement ou indirectement par l'objet (610). Les étapes d'identification et de stockage se répètent pour tous les objets de la construction et pour toutes les constructions de l'ensemble de constructions (612, 614). Pour identifier un automate fini, on recherche un premier objet qui commande la modification d'un deuxième objet et dont la valeur est également changée directement ou indirectement par le deuxième objet (616).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un générateur d'images contact (101 de la Figure 1). Le contact ferme lui-même un circuit ouvert de façon à générer un rayonnement dans le dessin touchant le contact. L'image de rayonnement obtenue correspond directement au dessin touchant le contact excitant le rayonnement. Selon une réalisation préférée mettant en oeuvre un système à électroluminescence (100 de la Figure 1) sans contre-électrode, la surface du doigt est présentée en contact de façon à fermer le circuit ouvert. Elle sert donc de contre-électrode 'temporaire'. Le système d'électroluminescence excite alors la surface du doigt touchant le contact (Figure 1), c'est-à-dire les reliefs de l'empreinte digitale, de façon à émettre vers le contact (Figures 5a, 5b) une image haute résolution fidèle en lumière visible. Cette image en lumière visible peut ensuite être dirigée sur une matrice photosensible standard de pixélisation pour être convertie en un signal électrique représentatif de l'image. Ce signal convient à la mémorisation, l'analyse, le traitement et la comparaison par ordinateur.
