Abstract: An electrophoretic display device for generating a colored image has pixels each having a medium ( 12 ) that is substantially transparent in the optical spectral range and at least two types of independently controllable electrophoretic particles ( 31 C, 31 M, 31 Y). The particle species absorb certain wavelengths whereas they are transparent (and basically non-scattering) for light that is absorbed in other particle species. By moving these particles in/out a visible area of the pixel by generating electric fields color absorption can be controlled at will. As the particles are basically transparent (at least for the colors absorbed in the other particle species), the full pixel area (and volume) can be used for any particle species. This way the maximum brightness can be achieved for any color.

Abstract: The present invention relates to virulent (lytic) Listeria monocytogenes phage from the Myoviridae family, preferably P100, alone or in combination with other virulent phages. P100 and the endolysin from P100 can be administered to food products, to the components that will be added to food products, and/or to the infrastructure of the food processing plants within which such food products are processed, or the containers or wraps in which such foods are stored and/or shipped, in order to reduce Listeria monocytogenes contamination. P100 can also be used in the present invention to identify Listeria monocytogenes bacteria present on (or within) foodstuffs, as well as those Listeria monocytogenes bacteria present in the equipment or the general environment of the food processing plants in which the foodstuffs are being processed and in animals infected with Listeria monocytogenes. The phage and the endolysin of the present invention can also be used to treat animals infected with Listeria monocytogenes. P100 will kill the bacteria that are within its host range with great efficiency and will propagate to high titer thereon. P100 can be combined with other lytic phage, and/or with other antimicrobial agents to reduce or eliminate Listeria.

Abstract: A method for improving the torque band of a multi-cylinder, four-cycle piston internal combustion engine comprising at least two cylinder pairs including variably triggered gas exchange valves, wherein each cylinder pair comprises two cylinders associated with each other by a firing interval of 360° crank angle, and wherein one cylinder pair is not fired by cutting off the fuel supply and acting upon the gas exchange valves resulting in a partial load operation. The method includes triggering the cylinders of the non-fired cylinder pair during the partial load operation so that such cylinders take in a predetermined charge quantity for adjusting a predetermined compression level that influences the torque band. The gas exchange valves of the non-fired cylinders are maintained closed for the duration of the partial-load operation and the associated gas intake valve and/or gas discharge valve is opened only briefly solely to influence the charge quantity during the piston passage through bottom dead center.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des demandes de réseau sans fil (10) qui ne cessent d'augmenter pendant que des fournisseurs de services sans fil continuent de fournir d'autres capacités de services. Dans un système de communication cellulaire (10), la location de lignes entre des sites cellulaires à distance (22) et les centraux mobiles correspondants (MSO) (29) représente encore un coût de fonctionnement important. La réduction de la largeur de bande par identification et élimination de données de charge utile et d'informations de contrôle qui ne doivent pas être entièrement reproduites parce qu'elles peuvent être déduites des informations accessibles ou préalablement transmises, permet d'utiliser moins de lignes afin de supporter la même largeur de bande. Une passerelle d'accès sans fil (30) peut servir à regrouper ces données redondantes et régénérables sur une liaison terrestre entre un site cellulaire sans fil et le central mobile correspondant (MSO) (29) afin de fournir une réduction de largeur de bande sans perte spécifique et à faible latence. La passerelle d'accès sans fil (30) permet d'identifier des informations régénérables et d'éliminer des parties des données que le dispositif ne doit pas transmettre car les données sont redondantes ou accessibles ou peuvent être recréées au niveau de la réception.

Abstract: A method for transmuting spent fuel from a nuclear reactor includes the step of separating the waste into components including a driver fuel component and a transmutation fuel component. The driver fuel, which includes fissile materials such as Plutonium239, is used to initiate a critical, fission reaction in a reactor. The transmutation fuel, which includes non-fissile transuranic isotopes, is transmuted by thermal neutrons generated during fission of the driver fuel. The system is designed to promote fission of the driver fuel and reduce neutron capture by the driver fuel. Reacted driver fuel is separated into transuranics and fission products using a dry cleanup process and the resulting transuranics are mixed with transmutation fuel and re-introduced into the reactor. Transmutation fuel from the reactor is introduced into a second reactor for further transmutation by neutrons generated using a proton beam and spallation target.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical recording medium and optical recording medium record/playback apparatus and method, for managing defective areas in a rewritable optical recording medium. Particularly, the present invention adds a linear replacement control (LRC) bit to a secondary defective list (SDL) entry to discriminate a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a linear replacement algorithm from a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a skipping algorithm, thereby allowing the optical recording medium record/playback apparatus to transmit correct information to a host. Furthermore, when a defective block requiring a new replacement block is found while recording or playing back data when spare area is full, instead of carrying out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL entry alone with the location information of the defective block to indicate that the corresponding SDL entry was made when the spare area was full, whereby data is not written in the defective block or data of the defective block is not read when rewriting or reproducing the data afterward. Consequently, the present invention can effect efficient management over the disc.
