Abstract: A transfer organization provides a physical-line-based and transparent information transfer facility to distributed information receivers, whilst supporting such transfer for both first packaged data derived from sampling a real-time telephone signal and second packaged data originating from a broadband digital data service. 
     In particular, the method comprises the following steps. First, respective actual transfer requirements are ascertained for the first and second packaged data. Next, transferring of the first packaged data is temporally positioned in first time slots that maintain real-time transferring of the first packaged data relative to the real-time telephone signal. Finally, second packaged data are temporally positioned in intermediate intervals between successive first time slots, whilst transferring both the first and second packaged data items along the physical line in a deterministic manner within a single channel facility whilst foregoing encapsulation thereof in an overall frame.

Abstract: At least two creases (3, 4) are made near the upper part of a
folding line (2) of a cardboard sheet. The creases extend diagonally from the
folding line to the edge of the cardboard sheet. A perforation (5) is in the
folding Ine between the diagonal creases and at a distance from the edge.
When the cardboard sheet is folded into a folder along the folding line, the
cardboard is also pushed inwards between the creases, wherein an internal
nose is formed between the folds of the sheets. When the folder is now
opened the nose also opens and the perforation in the middle of the nose
becomes visible. A pen can then be pushed through this nose (21). The
perforation has been made so that when the pen is in its position the force
caused by edges of the perforation against the sides of the pen keeps it
tightly in its place and prevents it from sliding away from the perforation.

Abstract: A multiformat-compatible receiving apparatus is
quickly compatible with a change in the signal type of a
received signal. 
     Responsive to the detection of a stream change to
an invalid data stream (ancillary no data), a signal
processing means is controlled to have a setting
compatible with the signal type of the invalid data
stream (F104 → F105). Thus, the setting of the signal
processing means is predictively changed so as to be
compatible with the signal type of real data to arrive
next. When a stream change to a real data stream is
actually detected, a receiving means is controlled to
have a setting compatible with the signal type of the
real data stream (F107).

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter cartridge (1) which comprises a firmly fixed lid (10) and has a long service life. Said lid (10) is embodied in such a way that the bottom (11) of the lid extends towards the peripheral wall (3) of the cartridge container to join the lateral wall (16) of the lid, by means of an inwardly curved edge section (14), the curved edge section (14) and the lateral wall (16) in the form of a strip joining in the forming region to form an inwardly tapered common wall section (15).

Abstract: L'invention concerne, de façon générale, un procédé d'évaluation d'ensembles de données, tels que des ensembles de données multiparamétriques. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer des différences entre des objets dans un ensemble de données, chaque objet étant décrit au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs paramètres. L'invention est particulièrement utilisée, notamment en bio-informatique, par exemple, pour déterminer des différences dans des populations de séquences de nucléotides ou d'aminoacides (100). De telles différences sont présentement référées par polymorphismes, tels que des polymorphismes dans une base de données de séquences. Des populations ainsi identifiées (110) peuvent fournir une fiche signalétique, notamment de molécules d'acide nucléiques particulières, de protéines, d'états de caractères ou de maladies. L'invention englobe également l'identification de sous-populations de données ayant trait, notamment, au commerce, à l'industrie ou à l'environnement. Une fois que les polymorphismes sont identifiés, des procédures basées sur des oligonucléotides ou des peptides peuvent alors être adoptées pour dépister des polymorphismes informatifs particuliers dans divers milieux cliniques, environnementaux, industriels, ainsi que dans des environnements domestiques ou de laboratoire.
