Abstract: L'invention concerne un algorithme (100) d'ajustement de synchronisation continue, qui synchronise en continu les trames utilisées dans les transmissions numériques synchrones. En laissant le récepteur ajuster en continu (122, 126) la position hypothétique des trames au lieu d'ajuster seulement une fois par trame comme c'est le cas actuellement, on peut réduire sensiblement le taux d'erreur sur les bits. Après qu'un bit de synchronisation unique incorrect est détecté (114) dans une trame, les positions du bit de sync unique qui résulteraient d'une avance ou d'un retard de position de la trame (dus à un glissement des bits dans la trame) sont vérifiées (120). La position de la trame est ensuite ajustée (122, 126) immédiatement, sans attendre le début de la trame suivante. Par conséquent, on réduit sensiblement le nombre de bits de données interprétés incorrectement ou ignorés. Le taux d'erreur sur les bits résultant dudit algorithme continu est réduit considérablement par rapport à celui des algorithmes de synchronisation de la technique antérieure.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un réseau de diffraction protégé par une couche de finition. A cet effet, un réseau à réplique pourvu d'une surface réticulée réfléchissante en aluminium mince est obtenu par réplication d'un réseau maître ou d'un réseau sous-maître. Cette surface réfléchissante en aluminium mince peut être craquelée ou comporter en bordure des grains des accumulations relativement épaisses d'oxydes ou d'hydroxydes d'aluminium. En outre, cette surface est normalement naturellement revêtue d'un film d'oxyde d'aluminium. Le réseau est ensuite recouvert une nouvelle fois dans une chambre à dépression, d'une couche de finition d'aluminium mince, pure et dense, la couche de finition d'aluminium se couvrant, sous le vide, d'un film fin de MgF2. Ce réseau convient particulièrement à la sélection des longueurs d'ondes dans un laser ArF produisant un faisceau laser ultraviolet à une longueur d'ondes d'environ 193 nm. La couche d'aluminium non oxygéné empêche l'ultraviolet de provoquer des dégâts en stimulant les réactions chimiques dans les matériaux du réseau sous la surface d'aluminium réticulé ou dans le film d'oxyde d'aluminium. Le MgF2 empêche en outre l'oxydation à la surface de la couche de finition d'aluminium.

Abstract: A network directory and naming service include fields for identifying instances of network resources and other objects by both logical and topological grouping. This combination of information facilitates automated efficient decision making with regard to replication of resources and updating the replicas in response to changes. The combination of logical and topological identification for resources also facilitates selection of a close replica in instances where a client requests access to a resource, such as a server, for which communicatively local and remote instances exist. <IMAGE>

Abstract: On obtient une carte tridimensionnelle représentant la probabilité d'états fonctionnels cérébraux à partir des signaux électriques et/ou magnétiques (EEG/MEG) mesurés dans la surface du cuir chevelu. Pour ce faire, on obtient les paramètres descriptifs statistiques par EEG/MEG et on calcule une carte de la distribution cérébrale de ces derniers. La carte représente le résultat inverse par rapport à l'EEG/MEG et se fonde a) sur la restriction du résultat à des structures présentant une forte probabilité de générer une activité électrique, en utilisant un Atlas cérébral et b) sur le fait que le résultat présente une incertitude prédéterminée. On détermine la probabilité pour cette carte, ou pour un sous-ensemble de celle-ci, de faire partie d'un groupe modèle. Pour effectuer cette détermination, on modélise les corrélations spatiales de la carte, ainsi que sa dépendance aux covariables expérimentales. Les probabilités obtenues sont codifiées en une échelle de pseudo-couleurs et sont superposées sur un Atlas cérébral pour être interactivement visualisées en tridimension. Les Atlas cérébraux utilisés pour la résolution du problème inverse et pour la visualisation peuvent être des neuroimages individuelles, des Atlas de probabilités et des déformations plastiques d'un Atlas de probabilités par rapport à la morphologie d'un individu. On appelle cette méthodologie analyse quantitative électro/magnétoencéphalographique tomographique (qEEG-T).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling alarms in medical diagnostic apparatus where an alarm is generated when a measured value for a physiological parameter passes a threshold. The method determines both the amount of time the measured value is past the threshold, and the amount by which the threshold is passed. The alarm is inhibited based upon a combination of (1) the amount of time and (2) how much past the threshold the measured value is. Preferably, the combination is an integral or some function of an integral.

Abstract: A battery charger includes a first portion of a charging circuit with first and second terminals, a detector for detecting a selected signal sequence in the charging circuit, and a regulator for switching from a first output level to a second output level in the charging circuit in response to the detector detecting the selected signal sequence. A communication unit has a port for a rechargeable battery and includes a second portion of the charging circuit through the battery port with third and fourth terminals connectable with the first and second terminals and fifth and sixth terminals connectable to terminals of a rechargeable battery when in the port. The communication unit also has a switch in the second portion of the charging circuit controlled by a processor, with the processor adapted to control the switch according to the selected signal sequence when a battery is in the port which requires the second output level. The regulator may also open the circuit first portion responsive to a selected condition such as excess current or a fault in the charging circuit. This uses a method of charging a mobile communication unit battery by connecting the terminals to close the charging circuit with a battery therein, detecting the presence of a selected condition (the presence of such condition causing a switch in the circuit second portion to be automatically thrown according to a selected sequence), and selecting a second output level for the external current source in response to the switch being thrown according to the selected sequence.
