Patent EP-1575456-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OTTO JASON K
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: Knee prostheses (100) featuring components that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or at least accommodating internal tibial rotation in a controlled way, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a more natural way. In a preferred embodiment, such prostheses include an insert component (400) disposed between a femoral component (200) and a tibial component, the insert component preferably featuring among other things a reversely contoured posteriolateral bearing surface (444) that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes. Other surfaces can also be specially shaped to achieve similar results, preferably using iterative automated techniques that allow testing and iterative design taking into account a manageable set of major forces acting on the knee during normal functioning, together with information that is known about natural knee joint kinetics and kinematics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of bleaching cellulose pulp in a bleach line having at least two bleaching steps D1,D2 of alkaline or acidic type, and a bleaching line for the method, in which the filtrate distribution is led up through the bleaching line in counter-current to the flow of cellulose pulp established in the bleaching line. <??>Instead of a conventional filtrate distribution including filtrate tanks, a single joint main conduit 1 is used for the bleaching steps of the same type. <??>Wash filtrate obtained from the wash steps of the same type used after or before the bleaching step, is led to a branch point A2, A4, A6 on the main conduit 1, that is positioned after the branch point for drawing off of wash and/or dilution liquor for the wash step in question A1, A3, A5, A7. All branch points in the joint main conduit are in open communication with each other in the main conduit, at least as seen in a direction from the last bleaching step. Hereby, a simplified and improved filtrate distribution system with an improved runnability is obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A control device is disclosed for controlling the amount of a
physical quantity in accordance with a prescribed periodic
function (f) for driving a controlled device (D). The control
device comprises a pulse wheel device including:
     a magnetized member (10) fixable to a rotatable member (R)
and comprising zones magnetized with opposite polarities (N,
S) in predetermined angular zones, and   an associated transducer (T) for generating an analog
signal that varies as the angular position of the rotatable
magnetized member (10) varies.   
     The zones magnetized with opposite polarities (N, S) are
arranged in such manner that at every revolution of the
rotatable member a magnetic flux linked with the transducer
(T) varies responsive to the angular position of the
rotatable member, in a manner corresponding to the pattern of
the function (f) in a period. Thereby the electric signal
provided by the transducer (T) can be directly used for
driving the controlled device (D).

Abstract: An Extended RTSP Proxy interworks with an IP Application Server to offer valued multimedia streaming services to the subscribers. The Extended RTSP Proxy comprises a RTSP Proxy modified to further interface a Streaming Service Extension Module (SSEM). The Extended RTSP Proxy acts as intermediary between the client Requests and the relative Responses from one or more Video Servers. The SSEM module is responsible for monitoring the RTSP sessions originated by subscribers on the basis of instructions provided by the applications by proper Java APIs based on RMI (Remote Method Invocation) at the application interfaces. For this aim it deploys multiple instantiations of a state machine to detect event type session state change on behalf of each session addressed by a combination of a valid subscriber identifier and the identifier of the application invoked by the client. A personalized RTSP URL clickable on the Web is transferred inside the DESCRIBE and SETUP messages to provide the SSEM module with this information. Operatively, the SSEM module is piggyback the RTSP proxy to infer events type session state change from observations of the crossing signalling. The detected events are compared to registered notification lists of events transmitted by the Applications running inside the Application Server. In case of matching an event is reported back to the requesting application. The Extended RTSP Proxy uses TCP as reliable transport protocol for RTSP packets, and UDP to transport the RTP/RTCP streaming data/control packets. Additional TCP ports are foreseen at the interface with the SSEM module. In a preferred embodiment valid for the IMS platform, the SSEM module can be located inside the Application Server. In such a case the personalized RTSP URL includes the SIP address of the client. When the applications are running inside Application Server outside the IMS domain, valid PLMN subscriber identifiers could be the MSISDN numbers of the subscriber (fig.5).

La distance séparant l'élément d'excitation (6) et le plan de sol (3) est supérieure à un huitième de la plus longue longueur d'ondes des signaux avec lesquels l'antenne est destinée à fonctionner, de préférence entre 0,25 et 0,50 fois la longueur d'ondes. La longueur de trajet du conducteur électrique qui constitue l'élément d'excitation est supérieure à ladite longueur d'ondes, de préférence entre 10 et 100 fois la longueur d'ondes. Il en résulte que l'élément d'excitation fonctionne comme une structure à onde de fuite et que l'élément d'antenne devient non résonant. L'invention décrit également une antenne réseau munie d'un certain nombre desdits éléments d'antenne disposés dans une configuration de matrice carrée, dans laquelle un plan de sol (3) et un substrat (4) communs sont utilisés.

Abstract: The invention relates to the generation of a scrambling code for UMTS communications. According to the invention, a pseudo-random generator (1X) in a scrambler is first set to a pre-determined status which is dependent on the number of a code with I bits. Initialisation (2) and status (3X) memory elements, which reduce the memory capacity of the scrambler, store the pre-determined state. A status saved in the status memory is restored (RESTORE) to the generator before the generation of any sub-code with I/M chips. A clock pulse counter (5) activates I/M shifts in the generator from the restored state in order to generate a sub-code. The status of the generator is saved (SAVE) in the status memory after the last generation of a sub-code. The pre-determined status is transferred from the initialisation memory in the generator at the start of each subsequent generation of the code. The scrambler is a Gold-type scrambler with two pseudo-random generators (1X, 1Y) for the scrambling of complex symbols (D1, DQ) for UMTS communications.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à la stabilisation des sources de diodes laser à intensité élevée, largement utilisées dans le domaine de la communication optique. Ces lasers sont pour la plupart employés en tant que sources laser dites 'de pompage' destinées aux amplificateurs à fibres, p. ex., des amplificateurs dopés à l'erbium, et servent à générer un rayonnement optique à bande étroite avec une sortie de puissance stable dans une bande de fréquences donnée. Pour améliorer la gamme de verrouillage de longueur d'ondes de ces sources laser lors du fonctionnement sans aucun élément actif de stabilisation de température, on utilise un réflecteur externe qui fournit une rétroaction relative très élevée. La largeur de bande de réflectivité sur le réflecteur externe est élargie, ce qui améliore la stabilité de la source laser. Dans les fibres optiques utilisées couramment pour guider un faisceau laser, le réflecteur externe est formé par un réseau de Bragg à base de fibres conçu de manière appropriée.
