Patent EP-1561346-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BELL DAVID A
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2003-09-15
Abstract: A method of outputting multimedia content such as a video clip on a plurality of user devices (11, 12, 13) allows users of their devices to view the video clip in substantially time synchronised manner. Devices (10,11,12) communicate with each other to exchange control signals over a telecommunications network via communications links (13,14,15). The video clip is provided to user devices in advance of viewing so that during subsequent viewing only small control instructions denoting 'play', 'stop', 'pause' and the like need to be communicated between devices, where such small instructions suffer less from bandwidth constraints and latency of the communications network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process that is useful
in producing ferronickel having a high Ni content at low
cost with high efficiency and reproducibility even if a low-grade
feedstock containing nickel oxide is used. 
     In particular, a feedstock containing nickel oxide and
iron oxide is mixed with a carbonaceous reductant, the
mixture is formed into agglomerates with an agglomerator,
and the agglomerates are heated and reduced in a moving
hearth furnace, whereby reduced agglomerates in which the Ni
metallization degree is 40% or more and the Fe metallization
degree is at least 15% less than the Ni metallization degree
are prepared by adjusting the retention time of the
agglomerates placed in the moving hearth furnace. The
reduced agglomerates, in which the Ni component has been
primarily reduced as compared with the Fe component, are
smelted in a smelting furnace, whereby ferronickel having a
high Ni content is obtained.

Abstract: Zum Messen der Wellengrössen eines Mehrtor-Messobjektes mittels eines Mehrtor-Netzwerkanalysators, für den in einem vorhergehenden Kalibrierverfahren Fehlerkorrekturwerte ermittelt werden, werden bei Verwendung eines nichtsinusförmigen Messsignals zunächst die Zeitversätze zwischen den Wellengrössen-Messsignalen berechnet und diese Zeitversätze mit einem davon abgeleitetem Korrekturfaktor kompensiert. Aus diesen zeitkompensierten Messsignalen werden dann unkorrigierte Streuparameter berechnet, die schliesslich mit den Fehlerkorrekturwerten des Kalibrierverfahrens korrigiert werden.

Abstract: Methods for synthesizing saturated and unsaturated polyol polymers are disclosed. In one
embodiment, the method involves the ring-opening polymerization of lactones, lactides and/or
glycolides using hydroxy moiety-containing polymerization initiators, which initiators can
include one or more double bond-containing moieties such as (meth)acrylates. The ring-opening
polymerization is catalyzed using a lipase enzyme. In another embodiment, the polyol polymers
are prepared by the esterification of a di- or polycarboxylic acid with a polyhydric alcohol or a
polyhydric alcohol modified to include one or more (meth)acrylate moieties, using an enzymatic
catalyst, advantageously avoiding the use of an acidic or heavy metal catalyst. The polyol
polymers can be used to prepare urethanes or urethane acrylates, and the urethanes or urethane
acrylates used in coating compositions, for example, to provide a coating to surface coverings
such as floor, wall and ceiling coverings. The polyol polymers and/or urethane (meth)acrylates
can also be used to prepare other articles of manufacture, such as food wraps, children's toys and
the like.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for performing an iterative  n -dimensional
decoding of a data structure comprising a data bit frame. The method
comprises the steps of: receiving possibly errored data; computing
syndromes in all the  n  dimensions in a single step; storing the first
calculated syndromes; processing syndromes in a first dimension;
correcting errors; and updating the syndromes which have been affected
by the correction in said first dimension; and processing syndromes in
all the possible dimensions up to the n-th one and, for each of the
processed syndromes, correcting errors and updating the syndromes in
all the dimensions which have been affected by the correction. The time
required by each sub-iteration (from second sub-iteration on) will be
progressively reduced. The number of iterations is increased without
increasing the delay and processing complexity. Processing complexity
is reduced because only one circuit is used for processing the
syndromes in all the dimensions and for all the iterations.

control surface (1) is jointed, connected rigidly to an
articulated connecting rod (12) having a following roller
(13) of a cam (9) integral to the control surface (1).
The cam (9) profile produces a continuous nonlinear,
angular deformation, of the elastic element in order to
determine a force torque on the control surface (1) that
is maximum in the neutral position of the control surface
and manages to be eliminated in the extreme side
deviations.

Abstract: Specially conceived for vehicles which have to be displaced over
ferromagnetic surfaces, like the iron or steel walls of large tanks for example, it
is incorporated by the combination of a hollow rim (1-1') and a tyre (4) of an
elastomer or similar material, which define a cylindrical chamber (8) inside
which a magnetic annulus (9) runs, materialized in a permanent magnet of
adequate strength, with the particularity that said magnetic annulus (9) has a
substantially smaller diameter than that of the cited chamber (8), so that it is
capable of carrying out a planetary motion inside the same, maintaining a
permanently tangential condition with the tyre (4) at the point in which the latter
is in contact at all times with the ferromagnetic surface over which the vehicle is
displaced, achieving maximum adherence at said point. In this way it is
managed to improve the grip of the wheel on said surface, overcome possible
obstacles of the same, lighten the wheel and increase safety through not
requiring an electricity supply.
