Abstract: A blank for forming a box, the blank comprising a plurality of co-operating
panels with a plurality of fold lines between the panels, an ear on a first panel,
and a receiving slot on a second panel. The panels are foldable relative to one
another along the fold lines to form a closed box, and the slot is co-operatively
aligned with the ear for insertion of the ear through the slot into the box interior
upon closing of the box. The ear is movable from an engagement configuration
prior to insertion, to an insertion configuration upon insertion of the ear into the
slot, to a normally engagement configuration when the ear is fully inserted into
the slot. The ear is biased into the engagement configuration so that after
insertion of the ear into the slot the ear engages with the box interior to prevent
withdrawal of the ear through the slot from the box interior, and thereby locks
the box closed.

Abstract: A block key to encrypt block data is generated using an ATS (arrival time
stamp) appended to each of TS (transport stream) packets included in a transport
stream correspondingly to the arrival time of the TS packet. The ATS is a random data
depending upon an arrival time, and so a block-unique key can be generated, which
enhances the protection against data cryptanalysis. A block key is generated from a
combination of an ATS with a key unique to a device, recording medium or the like
such as a master key, disc-unique key, title-unique key or the like. Since an ATS is
used to generate a block key, any area for storage of an encryption key for each block
may not be provided in a recording medium.

Abstract: Sealed synthetic resin containers are spin welded by bringing opposed, generally complimentary horizontal mating surfaces (70, 72) of the lid (32) and bowl (22) into contact under a predetermined axial pressure and rapidly accelerating rotation of the lid (32) relative to the bowl (22) while maintaining substantially the axial pressure to produce melting of the mating surfaces until a desired torque value is attained. Thereafter, the rotation of the lid (32) is immediately decelerated to terminate the rotation and allow the mating surfaces (70, 72) to bond. Generally, the torque is monitored repeatedly during the accelerating rotation until a plateau is reached and the accelerating step is continued for at least 50 milliseconds thereafter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the displacement of a part, displaced by an electromotor, of a closure device in a motor vehicle, for example, a window pane control in the doors of the motor vehicle. A jamming incident is identified by a comparison of at least one state variable of the electromotor or the closure device that is relevant in a jamming incident, for example the motor current or the displacement speed, with a characteristic value that is relevant for a jamming incident. In addition, the position of displaceable bodywork parts, in particular the doors, is detected and the control of the displacement is adapted, in accordance with the jamming incident identification and the position of the bodywork parts. If the result of the comparison indicates a jamming incident, the electromotor is halted for a predetermined short period of time that is preferably hardly perceptible, or said motor is reversed. A verification is then made as to whether based on a predetermined first position of the bodywork part, said position has altered or alters during a predetermined time range prior to and/or after the emergence of the result of the comparison that indicates a jamming incident. If this is the case, the displacement is resumed in the closure direction, if not, it is assumed that a jamming incident has occurred and the electromotor is reversed, or the reversing action is continued. The halting or reversing time period is preferably of such a short duration that the displacement of the part in the opposite direction is not perceptible, at least to the naked eye.

Title: Method for processing large-size postal objects in a sorting installation
Inventor: CAILLON CHRISTOPHE
IPC: B07C3/20
Filed: 2001-07-23
Abstract: The method of processing postal objects of large size in order to read automatically a postal address (AD) on each object consists in acquiring a digital image of each object at a certain level of resolution; in detecting in the image one or more zones of interest (ZI) apparently containing a postal address; in performing automatic address recognition on each zone of interest in order to extract a postal address (AD) of the object, and in the event of the automatic address recogition failing, in displaying each zone of interest (ZI) on a screen so that a video-coding operator can read the postal address (AD) of the object. Each zone of interest (ZI) is displayed on the screen on a screen context background (F) that is representative of the object but at a level of resolution that is lower than the level of resolution of the digital image and the zone of interest. In this way, the video-coding operator has an overall view of the detected zones of interest, thus making it easier to read the postal address of the object.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une première base de données est synchronisée avec une seconde base de données, la première base de données étant placée dans un terminal mobile. Afin d'éviter des résultats erronés de synchronisation qui peuvent se produire si on change une horloge associée au terminal mobile, en regard à une horloge associée à la seconde base de données, un indicateur est réglé de façon à signaler qu'il est nécessaire de réaliser une synchronisation complète lorsqu'il est détecté que l'horloge dans le terminal mobile a été remise à zéro. Lorsque la synchronisation doit avoir lieu, on réalise une synchronisation complète de la première base de données et de la seconde base de données si l'indicateur donne le signal. Dans le cas contraire, il est possible de réaliser un synchronisation rapide qui utilise un journal de modifications. L'indicateur peut se trouver sous la forme d'une modification dans un identificateur de base de données.

transistor (Q2) of the differential stage is adjusted to be smaller as the gain
becomes lower. Only the current in accordance with the gain is consumed,
and the current consumption is reduced without causing signal distortion.

Title: Method for improving the efficiency of epitaxially produced quantum dot semiconductor components
Inventor: SELLIN ROMAN
IPC: H01L31/0352
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the efficiency of epitaxially grown quantum dot semiconductor components having at least one quantum dot layer. The efficiency of semiconductor components containing an active medium consisting of quantum dots is often significantly below the theoretically possible values. The inventive method enables the efficiency of the relevant component to be clearly increased without substantially changing the growth parameters of the various epitaxial layers. In order to improve the efficiency of the component, the crystal is morphologically changed when the growth of the component is interrupted at the point in the overall process at which the quantum dots of a layer have just been covered. The growth front is smoothed at the same time, leading to, for example, a reduction in waveguide loss as the thickness of the waveguide is more homogeneous if the relevant component has one such waveguide. Simultaneously, smoothing the growth front enables the quantum dot layers to be stacked closer together than before, thereby increasing the volume filling factor. The modal gain is thus increased, for example for lasers or amplifiers.
