Abstract: A user identification method is described in which, in a first identification procedure, identification data (ID1) of a first type belonging to a target individual to be identified are determined and are compared with previously stored user identification data (ND1) of the first type assigned to an authorized user. In addition, identification data (ID2) of a second type that belong with a certain probability to the same target individual are automatically determined. After a successful confirmation of the identify of the target individual with the authorized user from the identification data (ID1) of the first type, user identification data (ND2) of the second type are stored for the respective authorized user using the determined identification data (ID2) of the second type in order to use said data in a subsequent identification procedure.

Abstract: The process is for continuously cooking chemical pulp in a digester system consisting of at least one vessel for impregnating and cooking comprising an inlet into which a mixture of chips and process liquid is fed. The chips are impregnated at a predetermined impregnation temperature, T<SUB>imp</SUB>, and cooked at a predetermined cooking temperature, T<SUB>cook</SUB>, after which dissolved pulp is fed out at the outlet of the digester system. The process liquid which is continually extracted is retained outside the digester system during a dwell time, t, of at least 30 min, without any heating above 140°, and thereafter returned to the digester system to a position which is substantially at the same level as the extraction, or downstream thereof, and thereby constitute part of the process liquid in the subsequent treatment zone. The process results in improved tear strength, beatability, bleachability and reduced color reversion, and increased yield across the digester.

Abstract: A high-frequency oscillation apparatus wherein an oscillation signal output from a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is transferred through a transfer line to a resonator and the resonator is excited. The resonator is coupled with a second transfer line and an RF signal having a level corresponding to the frequency of the oscillation signal is transferred through the second transfer line. When the resonant frequency of the resonator is set to a frequency higher than the oscillation-frequency modulation range of the VCO, the oscillation frequency and the RF-signal level have one-to-one correspondence. A detector detects the RF signal and outputs to a control section. The control section compensates a control voltage signal applied to the VCO according to the detected-signal level, and outputs the control voltage signal to the VCO to compensate the oscillation signal of the VCO. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for removing keying ambiguity in a keyboard. Using capacitive proximity sensors, the signal strength from each of the keys of a keyboard is repeatedly measured, the signals being responsive to the degree of coupling between each key and a potential user digit. The measured signal strengths are compared with each other to find the strongest one. The key with the strongest signal is then deemed to be the user-selected key. After selection of a key in this way, signals from the other keys are suppressed or ignored for as long as the signal from the selected key remains above a threshold value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving flavor quality and reducing water absorption of protein isolates, particularly soy protein concentrates. The method involves a surface treatment of the protein isolates with an aqueous solution containing a polysaccharide, in order to coat the protein isolates and block off the flavor of the protein molecule as well as serving as a moisture barrier. The treated protein isolates are then dried to a powder form. The resulting protein isolates are bland in taste, have a reduced water adsorption ratio as compared to the untreated protein isolate and can be used in a wide range of food products without flavor reversion.

Abstract: Les procédés selon la présente invention constituent la base d'un système de signature de sécurité avancée qui s'avère fiable. De plus, les procédés selon l'invention constituent également la base d'un système de signature de sécurité avancée à grain fin qui est fiable et efficace. Ledit système permet de réagir immédiatement lors de l'effraction d'un pirate informatique de sorte que les signatures du passé demeurent valides sans réémission de ces dernières et les valeurs de signatures futures basées sur une clé exposée peuvent ainsi être identifiées. En général, chaque signature préparée porte un indice croissant de sorte qu'une fois un indice utilisé, aucun indice inférieur ne peut être utilisé pour signer. Ensuite, lorsqu'un adversaire entre par effraction, un signataire honnête peut simplement publier l'indice en cours, par exemple, en signant un certain message spécial relatif à l'indice en cours, dans le cadre du message de révocation pour la durée en cours. Il est entendu que toutes les signatures faites au cours de durées précédentes ainsi que l'ensemble des signatures faites au cours de la période révoquée allant jusqu'à l'indice publié sont valides, c'est-à-dire fiables.
