Abstract: A method for furnishing a perceptor with apparently continuous illumination over an extended target area, in which at any instant only part of said area is illuminated, but every part thereof is intermittently and repeatedly illuminated by discontinuous flashes. With regard to any one part of said target area, the flashes are repeated at time intervals not less than the decay period of the response elicited in the perceptor.The method is performed by means of a device which comprises a beam-generating arrangement (1) that focuses a beam of radiation (5) upon a rotatably-mounted light-deflector (6), which is rotated under control at a suitably high speed by mechanical means (9, 10, 11 and 12) so as repeatedly to illuminate a target area (15) with a narrow flash to radiation (16).

Abstract: A bi-directional electrode catheter (10) comprising an elongated tubular catheter body (12), a catheter tip section (14) at the distal end of the catheter body and a control handle (16) at the proximal end of the catheter (10). The tip section (14) comprises two pair of generally diametrically opposed off-axis lumens. Two pair of puller wires extend from the handle (16), through the catheter body (12), and into the off-axis pair of lumens of the tip section (14), where they are anchored in the tip section (14) at different locations along the length of the tip section (14). Compression coils extend through the catheter body (12) in surrounding relation to the puller wires. At their proximal ends, the puller wires are attached to movable pistons in the control handle (16). Each piston is controlled by an operator using a slidable button fixedly attached to each piston.

Abstract: In the production of commercial grade sugar, the purity of the molasses is held at ≤ 60 containing high purity syrup of ≥ 91. It is mixed with refined sugar from the preceding drawing, and baked to give a baked mass. The syrup from the first drawing has a purity of 79-83. The purity of the syrup from the first drawing is 81-82. Part of the baked mass is spun (7) to extract the sugar, and the low purity brine taken off is returned to the remainder of the baked mass which has not been spun. It reduces the purity of the new baked mass to give a global drainage at the level of the first drawing which is compatible with the purity of the seepage which is pulled back at the second drawing. Non-sugars are recycled with the drainage from the baking to avoid the use of a kneading mill under vacuum. The syrup of more refined sugar is first introduced at the baking stage (2), followed at the baking stage by the enriched drainage. The syrup from the first drawing is introduced after baking, to give increased thermal breakdown reactions and good seepage before being spun. The baked mass which has not been spun is passed to a vacuum kneading mill (4), or a crystallizing stage. The spun baked mass is 25-35 wt. % or 30-35 wt. % or 30 wt. % of the total baked mass. The kneading mill under vacuum has three or four stages.

Abstract: The invention provides a spread-spectrum transmission system with multiple carrier modulation in which the signals for transmission over each of the subcarriers are filtered prior to being transmitted over the subcarrier, thereby making it possible on reception to synchronize the various subcarriers in time, and in which each subcarrier carries a plurality of chips that result from spreading a single symbol. With coherent modulation, the number of chips resulting from spreading a single symbol and transmitted over each subcarrier is selected so as to enable the various subcarriers to be put into phase alignment by recombining the chips coming from the same symbol on each subcarrier. With differential modulation, the transmission over each subcarrier of chips resulting from spreading a single symbol provides resistance to jamming by limiting recombination losses because of the differential modulation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Selon cette invention, on réduit sensiblement les pertes dues à des fraudes dans un réseau de communication grâce au recours automatique et sélectif à une ou à plusieurs mesures d'authentification, fondées sur un indice des fraudes indiquant la probabilité d'une fraude pour un appel donné ou pour les appels auxquels on a appliqué l'indice précédemment. En appliquant l'authentification de manière sélective, uniquement aux appels que l'on soupçonne frauduleux ou qui sont confirmés en tant que tels, on lutte contre la fraude de manière à limiter les pertes qui y sont dues et, en même temps, à réduire au minimum les interruptions causées aux abonnés légitimes. En utilisant en guise d'exemple une fraude en matière de télécommunications, on enregistre un abonné dans un système en recueillant les données relatives à cet abonné sur la base d'un procédé d'authentification précis, par exemple, d'un procédé de savoir partagé (tel que les mots de passe) ou d'un procédé d'identification biométrique (tel que la vérification de la voix) ou similaires. Une fois enregistrée, la fonction d'authentification pour le compte d'abonné est actionnée, et tous les appels suivants sont contrôlés pour établir la probabilité d'une fraude au stade de la demande d'établissement d'un appel. L'établissement d'un indice de fraudes permet de faire une estimation de probabilité d'une fraude pour chaque appel, sur la base du comportement appris d'un abonné particulier et sur la base du comportement appris d'un fraudeur. Si l'on ne soupçonne pas de fraude on peut recommencer le traitement normal des appels sans recourir à l'authentification. Si l'on soupçonne une fraude sur la base de l'indice des fraudes, le système recourt automatiquement à l'authentification. Si l'authentification indique qu'il existe un soupçon de fraude, p.ex. lorsque les empreintes vocales ne correspondent pas, on peut soit bloquer l'appel, soit y appliquer des mesures de prévention appropriées, p.ex., le faire intercepter par un opérateur. Si, pendant l'authentification, une fraude n'est pas signalée, le traitement normal des appels peut recommencer.

The refrigeration power cell comprises a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator which are serially coupled to form a high pressure closed refrigeration circuit. A drive mechanism, such as an electric or hydraulic motor, or conventional belt, is coupled to the compressor. The low pressure refrigerant communication circuit thermally interfaces with the condenser to remove heat from the high pressure closed refrigeration circuit. Alternatively, this circuit thermally interfaces with the evaporator to remove heat from the low pressure refrigerant. This heat exchanger is adapted to mount in the cabin of an over-the-road or off-road vehicle. Preferably, a second heat exchanger and a second low pressure refrigerant communication circuit is included. This second circuit thermally interfaces with the condenser to remove heat from the refrigeration circuit.

Abstract: The invention relates to an extruded-shaped glazing seal comprising a base part (1), a part that is used to secure the seal in and/or on a frame (14) or a glass-retaining strip (14a) and a sealing lip (4) that stands out from the base part (1) and is made of a cellular elastomer or rubber elastic material such as foam rubber or sponge rubber. The cross section of the sealing lip (4) consists of at least one relatively large cavity (4a). The ratio of the cross section of the cavity (Qh) of the sealing lip (4) in comparison with the cross section of the sealing lip (including the cross section of the cavity) ranges from 0.09 to 0.25. The cross section of the cavity (Qh) has a substantially triangular or trapezoidal shape and has rounded corners. The cellular material of the sealing lip (4) is made of a closed-cell foam material with a Shore A hardness of between 10 and 60. This enables the glazing seal to be diverted around corners without any folds occurring and, by virture of its tightness, compensates for large tolerances in the width of the gaps between the glass or the same pane and the frame or retaining strip.
