Abstract: L'invention concerne une interface de programme d'application (API) permettant à des programmes d'application dans un environnement d'exploitation multitâche de classer des parties de leurs codes et données dans un groupe que le système d'exploitation charge dans une mémoire physique en une seule fois. Conçue pour des systèmes d'exploitation configurant une mémoire virtuelle, cette API permet à des programmes d'application à mémoire intensive d'éviter une dégradation de qualité due à une permutation d'unités de mémoire en un mouvement de va et vient entre l'unité de disque dur et la mémoire physique. Pour éviter un temps d'attente de défaut de page chaque fois que l'application tente d'accéder à un code ou à des données du groupe qui ne se trouvent pas dans la mémoire physique, l'API assure que tous les codes ou toutes les données d'un groupe sont chargés dans la mémoire physique en une fois. Cela augmente le temps d'attente du délai de chargement initial, mais réduit la dégradation de qualité pour les accès ultérieurs en mémoire à des codes ou données du groupe.

Abstract: A lighter of the disposable type, ignition of which requires depression of an actuator that is resistant to the manipulations of unintended users. The lighter is normally maintained in a position that prevents depression of the actuator through the incorporation of a mechanism that increases the difficulty of operation. The safety mechanism requires displacement in two directions in order to allow full depression of the actuator and activation of an ignition means. When the mechanism is so displaced through the application of force by a user, it cannot remain displaced without continuous application of such force and will return to the normal, blocking, position when the force is removed.

Abstract: Procédé de tramage en similigravure incluant la suppression du moiré, ce qui consiste à d'abord tramer l'image d'entrée dans un module de tramage d'essai. On soustrait ensuite l'image d'entrée de l'image tramée d'essai afin de produire une image d'erreur contenant à la fois le moiré d'essai et le moiré introduit par l'opération de tramage d'essai. On filtre l'image d'erreur dans un filtre passe-bas afin de supprimer le moiré d'essai, tout en ne laissant que le moiré qu'on soustrait ensuite de l'image d'entrée afin de produire une image compensée. On  trame enfin cette image compensée dans un module de tramage final. La composante de moiré de l'image compensée tend à annuler le moiré introduit par le module de tramage final, de manière à supprimer les configurations de moiré dans l'image tramée finale. Dans deux autres modes de réalisation, des affinages à l'aide de filtres permettent de limiter les distorsions d'échelles de gris et d'améliorer la suppression du moiré dans les zones d'ombre et d'extrême lumière de l'image.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hygiene article, especially a disposable diaper, comprising a back part (6) and a front part (4), a back sheet (12) which is liquid-tight at least in sections, a cover sheet (10) which is liquid-permeable at least in sections and an absorbing body (14) situated between the back sheet and the cover sheet, said absorbing body containing superabsorbent polymers. The inventive hygiene article also has a wetness indicating element (30). In order to ensure that the wetness indicating element does not indicate that the diaper needs changing until the absorbing body has essentially exhausted its capacity for absorption, the hygiene article is configured in such a way that the superabsorbent polymers are positioned exclusively in a central partial area (16) of the absorbing body (14). Seen from a perspective perpendicular to the plane of the hygiene article, said partial area (16) is surrounded by an area (18) containing essentially exclusively cellulose fibres. This area (18) is free of superabsorbent polymers. The wetness indicating element (30) is also positioned between the back sheet (12) and the area of the absorbing body (14) which is free of the superabsorbent polymers.

Abstract: While high heat is generated in the anode section 6 in the
gas discharge tube 1 in accordance with the present invention during
its use, the heat is transmitted to the stem 4 by way of the anode
support plate 5 due to a configuration in which the anode support
plate 5 abuts against the stem 4, and is released outside from the
stem 4, whereby the cooling efficiency of the anode section 6 is
improved. Since the anode section 6 employs not a floating structure
including stem pins 10 interposed therein but a configuration in
which it is seated on the stem 4 by way of the anode support plate
5, the anode section 6 is stabilized on the stem 4, whereby the
resistance to vibration improves. Also, for assembling the anode
section 6 into a sealed envelope 2, it will be sufficient if the
anode support plate 5 is mounted on the stem 4, which contributes
to improving the easiness in assembling the gas discharge tube 1.

Abstract: A nonreciprocal optical device, preferably an optical circulator
(10; 160), and a method of transferring optical signals utilize a compensating
lens (20 and 22; 66; 166) coupled optically to a focusing lens (16 and 18;
164). The compensating lens operates to correct misalignments caused by
the focusing lens. The focusing lens and the compensating lens provide
efficient coupling of optical fibers (30, 32, 34, 36, 40, 42, 44 and 46; 172,
174 and 176). Preferably, the compensating lens has a forward face with a
number of flat surfaces (68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80 and 82) that can refract
light in a desired manner. In a first embodiment, two compensating lenses
(20 and 22) in optical series between two focusing lenses (16 and 18) are
utilized. In a second embodiment, only one compensating lens (166) is
utilized, but a mirror assembly (182) is introduced so that polarization
components of a light beam propagate through the compensating lens twice.
In the first embodiment, the circulatory functions are accomplished by two
optical assemblies (12 and 14) and a shift plate (24). On the other hand, the
circulatory functions in the second embodiment are performed by only one
optical assembly (162) and a shift plate (168). The single optical assembly is
utilized twice in single transmission of a light signal, providing a compact
optical device.

Abstract: An active-matrix-type liquid crystal display device supplies signal
potentials to signal lines of a liquid crystal display panel (14) according to a time-division
drive method using time-division switches (30-I, 30-k). The low-level
potential of select pulses to be supplied from a select pulse generating circuit (36)
to CMOS analog switches (31, 32, 33) of the time-division switches (30-I, 30-k) is
set to be lower than the low-level potential of a signal potential outputted from a
horizontal drive circuit (22). With this arrangement, even if the signal potential of
a non-selected signal line is decreased due to the crosstalk of a signal potential
from a selected signal line to the non-selected signal line, the generation of
insufficient contrast and non-uniformity of the luminance in the horizontal
direction can be prevented. As a consequence, a high image quality is maintained.

Abstract: The proximity switch has a coil (11) to which a periodic transmission current is supplied. The switch also has a signal processor for processing signals corresponding to the voltages induced in the coil after a current pulse by the current flowing in the body being detected. The pulse generator is arranged to supply the coil with current pulses whose direction changes periodically. In the first half of the pulse period the current flows in a first direction and only during a first interval of period T1 which is less than half the pulse period. The current then falls off for a second period and then for the rest of the first half of the pulse interval the current is negligible. In the second half of the pulse period, the current flows in the opposite direction only during a second interval, less than half the pulse period. It then drops off and is again negligible for the rest of the second half of the period.
