Abstract: The method involves updating time marks (PCR) in a digital data stream (MPTS), consisting of a number of programs with associated time marks, in a multiplexer unit (7). All time marks in the data stream are read in a time mark recovery, and are updated by device of a clock signal from a system clock. The time mark recovery compares a time transmitted in the time mark with the time of the system clock, and enters the difference of both times in the time mark. A time stamping unit reads the difference of both times after the multiplexing from the time mark, subtracts it from the current time of the system clocks, and enters it into the time mark.

Abstract: An authentication method in an NHRP (Next Hop
Resolution Protocol) for performing an address resolution
for converting a network layer address in an NBMA (Non-broadcast,
Multi-access) network to a datalink layer
address. The method comprises steps of: providing an
NHRP server for performing an address resolution which
has a plurality of interfaces belonging to respective
sub-networks, maintaining authentication keys and
authentication types respectively allocated to the
interfaces in the NHRP server; authenticating an NHRP
packet received from one of the interfaces by using the
authentication key allocated to the interface which
receives the NHRP packet; and discarding the NHRP packet
in case of authentication being unauthorized. The method
is capable of setting for each domain a mode for
redirecting an NHRP (Next Hop Resolution Protocol) packet
when authentication types between LIS (Logical IP Subnet,
IP: Internet Protocol) are different and a mode for when
an NHRP packet is redirected between domains.

Title: Method and apparatus for obtaining three-dimensional information of samples
Inventor: TOIDA MASAHIRO
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: A laser beam, which has been formed into the shape of a conical beam, is irradiated to a sample and is displaced with respect to the sample such that the laser beam may helically scan the sample. The laser beam having passed through the sample to the same direction as the direction, along which the laser beam impinging upon the sample propagates conically, is selected from the laser beam, which has scanned the sample and which has been radiated out of the sample, by using an image forming lens and a pinhole. A two-dimensional intensity distribution of the laser beam, which has passed through the sample and which has been selected, is detected. Three-dimensional information representing the form and/or structure of the sample is then obtained from the detected two-dimensional intensity distribution by using a computed tomography technique. Three-dimensional information of a sample containing a light scattering medium is thereby obtained accurately.

includes a field programming arrangement for setting the
first code of the receiver unit to the unique group of
binary bits in the transmitting unit by using the signal
from the transmitting unit as received by the receiver
unit. In accordance with this improvement, the first
code of the receiver unit is set to the second code of
the transmitting unit in the field and may be changed
from one code to another code upon authorized use of a
second transmitting unit having its own unique code.

Abstract: A range estimation system and method has a data base containing data for identification of certain targets and uses data for estimating the initial range of each of the targets as a function of the observed dimensions of the targets. The system includes a sensor (1) which observes a scene containing a target a plurality of spaced apart times while the sensor is moving relative to the target to provide data from each observation of the scene relating to the dimensions of the target within the scene. The remaining range to the target is estimated from the observed dimensions of the target from the range travelled since a prior estimation of range and from a prior estimation of the remaining range to the target. The sensor (1) provides electrical signals representing the observed scene (3) and can be a visible light or infrared sensor. A computer (9) is used to identify the target from the data base, estimate the initial range to the target and estimate the remaining range from the range travelled between successive observations of the scene and the change of dimensions of the target in the observed scene.

made by the first detection system. A controller
controls focusing on the surface of the workpiece on
the basis of the calculated deviation, the stored
second focus position and a third focus position when
the area on the workpiece corresponding to the

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'identifier une ou plusieurs séquences qui diffèrent par un ou plusieurs changements, insertions, effacements ou translocations de base, dans plusieurs séquences nucléotidiques cibles. Ce procédé comprend une phase de ligature, une phase de capture et une phase de détection. La phase de ligature fait appel à la réaction de détection de ligature entre une première sonde d'oligonucléotide, laquelle possède une partie spécifique à la séquence cible ainsi qu'une partie spécifique à un réseau adressable, et une seconde sonde d'oligonucléotide qui possède une partie spécifique à la séquence cible ainsi qu'un marqueur détectable. Après la phase de ligature, on procède à la phase de capture en hybridant à un support solide les sondes d'oligonucléotide ligaturées, ceci à l'aide d'un réseau d'oligonucléotides de capture immobilisés dont quelques-uns au moins sont complémentaires à la partie spécifique au réseau adressable. Une fois la phase de capture terminée, on lance la phase de détection afin de détecter les marqueurs des sondes d'oligonucléotide ligaturées qui ont été hybridées au support solide. La phase de ligature peut être précédée d'un processus d'amplification. Cette invention concerne également un nécessaire permettant de mettre en oeuvre ce procédé, un procédé de formation de réseaux sur des supports solides, ainsi que les supports solides eux-mêmes.

Abstract: A programmable metallization cell ("PMC") comprises a fast ion conductor such as a chalcogenide-metal ion and a plurality of electrodes (e.g., an anode and a cathode) disposed at the surface of the fast ion conductor and spaced a set distance apart from each other. Preferably, the fast ion conductor comprises a chalcogenide with Group IB or Group IIB metals, the anode comprises silver, and the cathode comprises aluminum or other conductor. When a voltage is applied to the anode and the cathode, a non-volatile metal dendrite grows from the cathode along the surface of the fast ion conductor towards the anode. The growth rate of the dendrite is a function of the applied voltage and time. The growth of the dendrite may be stopped by removing the voltage and the dendrite may be retracted by reversing the voltage polarity at the anode and cathode. Changes in the length of the dendrite affect the resistance and capacitance of the PMC. The PMC may be incorporated into a variety of technologies such as memory devices, programmable resistor/capacitor devices, optical devices, sensors, and the like. Electrodes additional to the cathode and anode can be provided to serve as outputs or additional outputs of the devices in sensing electrical characteristics which are dependent upon the extent of the dendrite.
