Title: Method and device for updating reception rights in a multiple operator system
Inventor: SASSELLI MARCO
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2001-06-11
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for updating a multiple operator reception system by administration and updating messages (EMM), between a subscriber management system and one or several pay television decoders, the operating conditions of the decoder being dependent upon the reception of administration (EMM) and updating messages from at least a preferred operator, said decoder having in certain conditions to pass through a standby state. If the subscriber uses for the major part an operator not requiring subscriber rights, the decoder does not receive any longer the necessary updates. When it is desired to switch said decoder into standby state, the inventive method carries out the following operations: switching the reception onto the preferred operator(s), receiving and processing the rights management messages (EMM), determining the end of a complete message reception cycle, switching to standby state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the automated production of dental workpieces. A blank (13) is inserted in a substantially slab-shaped support (10) of the device, said support being dimensioned such that the blank (13) does not extend beyond it in any direction. The blank (13) is linked with corresponding inner walls of a recess (12) provided in the support (10) only on two opposite faces while a gap is left between the other inner walls of the recess (12) and the corresponding faces of the blank (13). The inventive design allows to avoid tensions and microcracks of the blank material thereby caused. The gaps further make the blank (13) directly accessible for a lateral working by the milling tool.

Title: Air samplers
Inventor: SQUIRRELL DAVID JAMES
IPC: G01N1/26
Filed: 2001-10-01
Granted: 2010-04-27
Abstract: With reference to Figure 1, and air sampler 1 for use in analysing biological or other analytes, comprises an airflow chamber 2 having an air inlet 3 and an air outlet 4. An extract from 5, draws ambient air in through the inlet 3, and then through the chamber 2, to discharge it back to atmosphere by way of an outlet 6. The airflow chamber 2 houses a cyclone air/liquid separator 7 through which the inflowing air is caused to pass. An injector 8 introduces liquid into air flowing through the air inlet 3. The cyclone separator 7 extracts this liquid and any entrained particles therein and discharges it from the airflow chamber 2, initially by way of a duct 9, where it is then conveyed to a collection vessel 12, by way of a three channel peristaltic pump 13, and a duct 14. The collection vessel 12 is housed within a Peltier-cooled holder 15 to maintain the contents of the vessel 12 within the 2 ~C - 8 ~C range which is desirable for maintaining the integrity of biological analytes such as bacteria or proteins. Analyses such as PCR, culture on agar plates or immunoassays may be performed on the collected samples. The holder 15 also houses sample bottles 16, 17, 18 and 19.

Title: Dispositif et methode d'intervention phytosanitaire
Inventor: ENGMAN FREDRIK
IPC: A01M1/20
Filed: 2001-12-18
Granted: 2007-08-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et une application concernant des mesures phytosanitaires permettant de lutter contre la vermine directement ou indirectement par des objets abritant la vermine, notamment des substrats ou substances. La mesure phytosanitaire est basée sur le taux de refroidissement de la vermine, de l'objet etc. à l'aide de particules de neige sèche. On attribue à ces particules des petites et grandes tailles d'une gamme de tailles sélectionnée et des vitesses d'une gamme de vitesses sélectionnée. Ce dispositif et cette application offrent des avantages, notamment en permettant une lutte rapide et respectueuse de l'environnement et un fonctionnement efficace du système de refroidissement qui, par alimentation graduelle de la neige, procède au refroidissement par des particules de neige de différentes tailles et de différentes vitesses. Cela permet un rapide refroidissement d'une cible définie. Dans une phase initiale, les petites particules de neige contribuent plus au refroidissement puisqu'elle subliment et cède le froid rapidement. Puis on utilise les grosses particules de neige pour percer la barrière de gaz et de pression créée par les petites particules de neige, le refroidissement pouvant être poursuivi ou effectué. Une partie de l'énergie cinétique issue de la réduction de pression du gaz peut permettre aux particules de neige du type susmentionné d'atteindre la cible d'une manière optimale.

Title: Counterbalanced door system for a storage cabinet
Inventor: KOEHLER KARL J
IPC: A47B77/04
Filed: 2002-02-21
Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: A storage unit (10) includes a counterbalanced door arrangement (22). The counterbalanced door arrangement has an upper door (30) between pivoting arms (28), in combination with a lower door 34 between pivoting arms (32). A link (27) is interconnected between the upper and lower arms, for providing synchronous movement of the upper and lower doors between open and closed positions. A counterbalancing member (52,84) urges the upper and lower doors open. The counterbalancing member may be a spring (52) which provides an assist when moving the upper and lower doors toward their open positions, and which functions to retain the upper and lower doors open. When the upper and lower doors are closed, the weight of the upper door (30) and a forward portion of the upper arms (28) is operable to overcome the biasing force of the spring (52), to maintain the upper and lower doors closed.
