Patent EP-0900871-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZOLIN PAUL F
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: A technique and apparatus for evaluating the degree of
hydroenhancement achieved in a woven fabric (10). The degree of
hydroenhancement is related to the permeability of the woven fabric (10) (i.e., the
permeability of the woven fabric (10) will decrease as the hydroenhancement
increases). The hydroenhanced fabric (10) is pulled over a vacuum source (50) (while
a constant vacuum is maintained) and the air flow through the fabric is
measured. The air flow per unit area of fabric is then calculated and defined
as the permeability. Alternatively, the permeability can be calculated by
maintaining a constant air flow and measuring the vacuum drop associated with
the treated fabric. The degree of hydroenhancement may then be assessed as
related to this permeability measurement. The measurement may be
performed on "wet" fabric immediately after it exits the hydroenhancement
process and the permeability measurements used as a control signal for the
hydroenhancement process (that is, to regulate the machinery used to impart
the hydroenhanced quality to the fabric). Alternatively, the measurement may
be performed on "dry" fabric and used, as an audit process, to assess the
quality of the finished product.

Abstract: A thin dielectric film that uses an amorphous composition of R-Sn-Ti-O as the
main component is disclosed, wherein R is Zr or Hf, having particular application for
use in a capacitor of a DRAM cell. The preferable range of the dielectric thin film
composition is centered around Zr x Sn y Ti 2 O w , where 0.1≤ x ≤1.8; 0.1≤ y ≤1.6; 0.2≤ z ≤1.9;
and 2.0≤ w ≤4.0; and  x  +  y  +  z  = 2. Preferably,  x  is about 0.2,  y  is about 0.2, and  z  is
about 0.6. Doping of the composition with nitrogen is further disclosed as improving
the dielectric properties and uniformity of the film.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic subspace intensity modulation. Portions
around the edges of a multi-leaf collimator-defined static radiation field are expanded
or shrunk during part or all of the delivery of radiation at constant velocity. In order
to match some or all of the sloping regions (502) of an intensity profile, the individual
leaves (41, 42) of the multi-leaf collimator are moved at a fixed velocity over the
sloping portions (502) of the intensity profile. By keeping the major portion of the
field static and by only moving the leaves at one fixed velocity over a small subspace
of the intensity profile, it is relatively easier to know what dose the patient receives
and it is also relatively easier to resume treatment since it can be determined exactly
how many more monitor units of radiation must be delivered and what the leaf
positions were when the radiation was turned off.

Title: Systeme d'elaboration automatique de programmes audiovisuels a partir d'une base de donnees de supports
Inventor: MARCUS DWIGHT

Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé de création de programmes audiovisuels utilisant des supports tels que des clips audiovisuels, stockés dans une bibliothèque. Une base de données contient des informations sélectionnées sur chacun de ces supports, et les informations stockées dans la base de données ne régissant pas l'enchaînement temporel des supports. Les supports sont choisis en réponse à une demande de programmation et disposés dans un ordre temporel. Un utilisateur ne peut pas choisir les supports individuels ni leur ordre temporel. Les transitions entre les différents clips sont déterminées par le système sur la base des informations stockées dans la base de données et de préférences prédéterminées quant aux types de transitions. Les informations de transition indiquent une variété de points de transition intérieurs à un clip pouvant être sélectionnés par le système. Il peut y avoir des points de transition différents pour les parties audio et vidéo des clips audiovisuels. Pour une programmation unique des supports, on peut inclure dans le programme une séquence unique de repères à des fins de vérification du visionnement et de compréhension. Après achèvement de la sélection des supports, de l'enchaînement, et des transitions, les supports sont assemblés pour former un programme audiovisuel tel qu'une bande vidéo.

Abstract: A method and device is able to authenticate a subscriber of a digital mobile radiotelephone system vis-à-vis an authentication entity, wherein the subscriber firstly initializes vis-à-vis the authentication entity by executing several times the authentication algorithm containing stored subscriber-specific components and by storing the corresponding response parameters of the subscriber-specific components in a non-volatile memory. Systematic authentication of the subscriber of the mobile radiotelephone system vis-à-vis the authentication entity via a common interface is made possible by the authentication parameters stored in the memory since the authentication entity can always refer back to the response parameters of the individual subscriber module it already knows.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système antibruit actif (12) destiné à ramener à un minimum le bruit acoustique gênant dans un volume défini. En l'occurrence, ce bruit acoustique gênant est imputable à des vibrations à fréquence élevée de la structure produites par une source de vibrations structurellement couplée au volume défini au niveau d'une interface structurelle. Le système antibruit actif (12) de l'invention comprend, d'une part un sous-système détecteur (26) monté en tenant compte de la nature du volume défini (14) de façon à détecter le bruit acoustique gênant dans le volume défini (14), d'autre part un sous-système actionneur (28) monté à proximité de l'interface structurelle (22), et enfin un contrôleur (30) interconnectant fonctionnellement le sous-système détecteur (26) au sous-système actionneur (28). Le procédé consiste, pour le contrôleur (30), à recevoir du sous-système détecteur (26) une entrée, puis à transmettre au sous-système actionneur (28) des signaux de commande lui permettant de générer des contre-vibrations de fréquence élevée sélectionnées. Ces vibrations de fréquence élevée entrent en interaction avec les vibrations à fréquence élevée de la structure de façon à ramener à un minimum le bruit acoustique gênant dans un volume défini (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to messaging systems in
general and message broker systems in specific. More
particularly, the invention relates to means and a method
for processing message publication requests and message
subscription requests. 
     The current invention transforms the subscription problem
into a database query problem allowing to use query
techniques known and optimized for many years. The basic
approach of the current invention is to invert the
relationship of message publication requests (treated as
database data) and message subscription requests (treated
as database queries) according the state of the art. Thus
the core of the current invention is to treat incoming
messages publication requests as database queries and to
treat message subscription requests as database queries.

Abstract: The door lock mechanism has a normal security system where the door lock may not be released from the outside unless put into an emergency opening condition from inside. This is achieved by a geared electric motor and operating lever which enables a two-part release mechanism to be joined together. The door lock release system (12) consists of two parts (12a,12b) positioned side by side which independently pivot about a centre, turned through square holes (13), each accessible from each side of the door. The inner part (12a) unlatches the door from inside and the outer part (12b) may be turned without affecting the inner part and is therefore unable to unlatch the door lock. A lever (10) abuts another lever (38) on the outer part and may be urged towards it by rotation of an electric motor (30) to engage the outer part lever with a step on the inner part (38a,38b) to lock the two parts together enabling the lock to be released from outside.
