Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking with a central monitoring system status and result information associated with a plurality of test cards. Each of the test cards is anonymously associated with a patient such that the patient's identity is unknown to the central monitoring system. A first set of unique personal identification numbers (PINs) is stored in a personal identification number database in the central monitoring system, and a first digital signal representative of PINs from the first set of unique PINs is provided to a test kit assembler. A second digital signal is received in the central monitoring system from the test kit assembler. The second digital signal is representative of test kits actually assembled. Each of the test kits actually assembled includes a test card having one of the unique PINs from the first set of unique PINs associated therewith. The first set of unique PINs is tracked by updating the personal identification number database in response to the second digital signal. A third digital signal is provided from the central monitoring system to a test lab. The third digital signal is representative of a second set of unique PINs and is provided by the central monitoring system in response to the second digital signal. A fourth digital signal is received in the central monitoring system from the test lab. The fourth digital signal is representative of test cards received at the test lab from patients. Each of the test cards received at the test lab is known to the central monitoring system only by one of the unique PINs from the first set of unique PINs, and the identities of patients associated with the test cards received at the test lab are anonymous to the central monitoring system. The first set of unique PINs is further tracked from the central monitoring system by updating the personal identification number database and a test results database in response to the fourth digital signal.

Abstract: The process basically consists in initially preparing a polymeric concentrate; the polymer, a thermoplastic elastomer of the styrene-butadiene type and with adequate Mooney viscosity, is dissolved, by means of stirring and temperature, in a petroleum derived solvent which ends up forming part of the final product. The homogeneity of this concentrate is controlled "in situ" by electronic monitoring of the viscosity, a fundamental property. 
     Later, the polymeric concentrate is made to react isothermically and under stirring with an asphaltene concentrate in the presence of a cross-linking system of the kind used in the vulcanization of rubber. The termination of the reaction is controlled "in situ" by electronic measurement of the viscosity, a fundamental property. 
     The isothermicity of the whole operation allows the process to be simple and cost-effective. 
     The product obtained, a fluid cross-linked hydrocarbonated polymeric binder, finds application in the preparation of asphaltic agglomerates and as sealant in construction joints.

Abstract: Cet appareil de télécommunications, destiné au transport de cellules ATM comportant des unités isochrones et des unités asynchrones de données de charge utile entre des ports de réception et des ports de transmission, comprend un tampon pour la mise en file d'attente asynchrone des unités de données de charge utile reçues à partir des ports de réception et pour leur envoi ultérieur dans un flux de données à multiplexage temporel vers les ports de transmission. On a recours à un échangeur entre intervalles de temps pour ré-ordonner à partir du premier flux de données une séquence définie temporellement d'unités isochrones de données de charge utile en une deuxième séquence définie temporellement d'unités isochrones de données de charge utile dans un deuxième flux de données à multiplexage temporel. On assemble un flux de données sortant à multiplexage temporel en transférant le premier flux de données dans le flux de données sortant tout en substituant chaque présence de charge utile d'unités isochrones à partir du deuxième flux de données à multiplexage temporel dans les positions de multiplexage temporel correspondantes dans le flux de données sortant. Le flux de données sortant est envoyé vers les ports de transmission, de sorte que les appels téléphoniques sont reliés par l'intermédiaire des unités isochrones de données de charge utile. L'invention permet ainsi de réduire considérablement les temporisations propres aux communications téléphoniques assurées par des installations ATM antérieures et les importants échos qui en résultent pour les utilisateurs.

Abstract: A system for resynchronizing the timing and carrier phases of a modem receiver
signal to enable the receiver to quickly reacquire the timing phase and the carrier phase,
and thereby restart the demodulation process. The system provides accurate estimates of
the timing and carrier phases, as well as a gain correction factor to provide for proper
alignment for decoding. The discrete Fourier transform of the received signal is multiplied
by the complex conjugate of the discrete Fourier transform of the transmitted signal to
produce estimates of the desired phases. Gain control and carrier phase control are
performed to determine corresponding error signals to adapt the resultant estimated timing
and carrier phases, and gain correction.

Abstract: A technique which overcomes inefficiencies in user mode
processing of multimedia data by allowing an application
running as a user mode process simply to start and connect
multiple blocks of kernel mode functionality in the form of
drivers or filters (separate logical blocks of driver
executable code). Once the kernel mode filters are set up and
connected, the user mode application need not be active until
notified by the filters. Such notification may occur at the
end of processing or at any relevant event chosen by the
application as part of the filter initiation and set up.
Furthermore, a user mode application may query a kernel mode
filter or driver of its capabilities and requirements so that
it may properly make the connections between the different
filters chained together to process a stream of data and
request appropriate notifications. These connection may
represent actual driver to driver data exchange, or remote
connections.
