Abstract: A method of cash card billing with the aid of pay meters when parking a vehicle, using a parking meter system which includes a plurality of meters. The meters include a cash card reader. A person parking a vehicle finds a first meter (BA 1) where the cash card is read and the cash card account (KN) number and the parking commencement time are stored in a memory (BA1 MEM). When terminating the parking period the person finds a second pay meter (BA 2), which stores the card number (KN) together with the perking termination time (UT) in a memory (BA2 MEM). The invention is characterized in that each pay meter includes a keypad (2, 3) by which the person parking the vehicle keys-in the registration number (RN) of the vehicle at the commencement of a parking period in conjunction with reading the cash card, wherein the pay meter stores the registration number (RN) together with the card number (KN) and the parking commencement time (IT); in that the memory (BA1 MEM, BA2 MEM) of each pay meter is connected to the memory of a central computer (7); and in that the cash card account number is billed for the parking period.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une amélioration de la qualité vocale d'un générateur de source vocale d'un vocodeur de type CELP (<U>C</U>odebook <U>E</U>xcited <U>L</U>inear <U>P</U>rediction). Un calculateur de position de la crête de hauteur tonale (12) donne la position de la crête de hauteur tonale. Un générateur de fenêtre d'intensification d'amplitude (13) génère une fenêtre d'intensification de l'amplitude de la position de la crête de hauteur tonale. Enfin, un module d'application (16) de l'intensification d'amplitude intensifie l'amplitude d'un vecteur de code de bruit correspondant à la position de la crête de hauteur tonale. En outre, la définition de la position de recherche d'une impulsion est large à proximité de la position de la crête de hauteur tonale et étroite dans les autres parties, la position d'impulsion étant trouvée en fonction des positions de recherche déterminée. Enfin, la position de la crête de hauteur tonale et des données de périodes instantanées de hauteur tonale dans une sous-trame permettent de soumettre la construction de la source vocale à une adaptation régressive visant à améliorer la qualité vocale et à supprimer la propagation de l'influence d'une erreur de ligne de transmission.

Abstract: A normally closed valve that may be opened upon insertion of a nozzle permits two-way flow when opened by a luer-taper nozzle. The valve also is able to resist large back pressures. The valve includes a substantially rigid housing that defines a passageway having an inlet section and an outlet section. The housing has an exterior inlet face to which the inlet section opens. The inlet section preferably has tapered and expanding zones. The tapered zone is adjacent to the exterior inlet face and is shaped to receive the nozzle. The expanding zone is adjacent to the tapered zone and has a larger inner diameter than the tapered zone's inner diameter. The exterior of the inlet section of the housing may have threads to accept luer-lock threads that may surround the nozzle.

Abstract: The non-toxic proteolytic C fragment of tetanus toxin (TTC peptide) has the same ability to bind nerve cells and be retrogradely transported through a synapse as the native toxin. A hybrid protein encoded by the lacZ-TTC gene fusion retains the biological functions of both proteins  in vivo,  i.e. retrograde transynaptic transport of the TTC fragment and -gal enzymatic activity. After intramuscular injection, enzymatic activity could be detected in motoneurons and connected neurons of the brainstem areas. This strategy is useful for the delivery of a biological activity to neurons from the periphery to the central nervous system. Such a hybrid protein can also be used to map synaptic connections between neural cells.
