Abstract: Oil-in-water dispersions of  beta -carotene and other carotenoids that are stable against oxidation, even in the presence of polyphosphates, especially sodium hexametaphosphate. These oil-in-water dispersions are typically prepared by contacting a water-dispersible beadlet comprising at least about 5% colloidal carotenoid with the water phase to form droplets of the carotenoid that are in intimate contact with sufficient oil phase such that the carotenoid is stable against oxidation, even in the absence of an effective antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. The oil-in-water carotenoid dispersions of the present invention are especially useful in dilute juice beverages for providing vitamin A fortification and color, as well as other oil/water food and beverage products where vitamin A fortification and/or color are desired.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un noeud d'autoconfiguration qui comprend un certain nombre de processeurs de données associés aux ports correspondants d'un commutateur en mode de transfert asynchrone (ATM). Lorsque le noeud est placé en service, chaque processeur radiodiffuse automatiquement un message initial vers toutes les portes de commutation ATM comprenant chaque identification de processeur et chaque emplacement du port de commutation ATM. Après réception du message initial radiodiffusé par le processeur, un processeur maître désigné enregistre l'identification du processeur de radiodiffusion et l'emplacement du port de commutation ATM dans une base de données et envoie un aperçu dirigé spécifiquement au processeur radiodiffusant le message initial. A partir du signal d'aperçu, le processeur reconnaît l'identité et l'emplacement du commutateur ATM du processeur maître. Des trajets de contrôle interne (ICP) sont établis par le commutateur ATM entre les processeurs utilisant l'identification et les informations sur l'emplacement mémorisées pour chaque processeur de carte. Les trajets de contrôle interne sont utilisés pour communiquer des message de contrôle et d'autres informations entre les processeurs. Ainsi, on obtient une configuration automatique d'un multiprocesseur, un noeud de base de commutateur ATM sans avoir à interroger les processeurs ou à faire intervenir un opérateur humain.

Abstract: A device for direct electrostatic printing with an
addressability AD in dots per cm having a means for delivering
charged toner particles coupled to a means for applying a first
electric potential (DC1) and a means (DC4) for applying an electric
field between the means for delivering toner particles and an image
receiving substrate (108). The electric potential difference |DC4-DC1|
creates a flow of the charged toner particles (104) towards the
substrate. In the flow of toner particles a printhead structure is
placed having printing apertures, control electrodes associated
therewith and deflection electrodes. Between the printhead
structure and the image receiving substrate, a gap, d B , is left so
that  ((|DC4-DC1|)/d B ) = R1 ≤ 1.5 V/µm . The deflection electrodes
are coupled to a voltage source for applying a varying voltage to
the deflection electrodes. Preferably that varying voltage has a
peak to peak value, V p , so that  V p /R1 > 250 µm .

Abstract: The interactive multimedia devices is based on network structures involving: a
broadcasting network (120) and a return path network (140). On the
broadcasting network, the interactive data are multiplexed with the broadcast
audiovisual signals so as to offer interactivity to connected end-users on the
return path network. To address specific sociological profiles, and to save
bandwidth, a plurality of filters, let's say a number N, is associated with a single
interactive application. In such case, the comparison continues until one of the
N filters match the profile stored in the terminal permanent memory. If one of
the filters matches the viewer's profile, the interactive application is executed,
else the application is ignored. In this way, a plurality of categories of viewers
can interact. A plurality of filters can be associated with an interactive
application with different contents. To each filter corresponds a content. These
contents are displayed if the corresponding filters match the viewer's profile.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une sonde optique anti-débordement pourvue d'un élément de protection anti-reflet empêchant la lumière extérieure à un prisme de la sonde d'atteindre un photodétecteur de la sonde. Ladite sonde comporte une source lumineuse qui injecte de la lumière dans un prisme, ladite lumière étant détectée par un photodétecteur lorsqu'elle est réfléchie de façon interne à l'intérieur du prisme. Lorsqu'un fluide renfermé dans un récipient sous surveillance vient au contact du prisme, la lumière provenant de la source lumineuse sort du prisme et n'est plus détectée par le photodétecteur. Pour éviter que la lumière sortant du prisme ne soit accidentellement renvoyée par réflexion vers l'intérieur du prisme dans une direction qui lui permettrait d'être détectée par le photodétecteur, l'élément de protection anti-reflet est placé à l'intérieur d'un rayon de détection du photodétecteur, de manière à bloquer la lumière extérieure au prisme, qui, sans ledit prisme, serait détectée par le photodétecteur. L'élément de protection est également placé à une distance de réflexion optimale par rapport au prisme, de manière à empêcher que la lumière sortant de la sonde ne soit renvoyée par réflexion vers le photodétecteur par une surface réfléchissante placée entre l'élément de protection et le prisme. L'élément de protection comprend, de préférence, une partie mèche à proximité du prisme, laquelle absorbe par capillarité l'humidité d'une surface du prisme. La partie mèche est, de préférence, une arête constituée par deux surfaces formant un angle aigu entre elles.
