Abstract: The invention proposes an elevated floor assembly (10) comprising floor
panels (12) having a thickness, an upper surface (14), an opposite lower
surface (16) and side faces (18). These side faces (18) have two corner
portions (20) and a central portion (22) lying in-between the two corner portions
(20). In order to support the floor panels (12) above a base floor, the elevated
floor assembly (10) further includes pedestals, which provide support at the
corner portions (20). In accordance with the invention, two adjacent side faces
(18 1 , 18 2 ) of two adjacent floor panels (12 1 , 12 2 ) are designed so that their
corner portions (20) are in abutment, whereas a slot (26) extending over the
whole thickness of the two floor panels (12 1 , 12 2 ) is formed, separating the
central portions (22) of the two adjacent side faces (18 1 , 18 2 ). This slot (26)
ensures the avoidance of floor squeaking, which can be rather disturbing
especially in commercial and office buildings.

Abstract: A synchronisation pulse representing a symbol boundary in a signal
such as an OFDM signal is obtained by deriving a first signal
representing the difference between the amplitudes of samples separated
by the useful part of an OFDM symbol, a second signal representing the
phase difference between the samples, and combining the first and second
signals to derive a resultant signal. The resultant signal is examined

Abstract: Conventional walking sticks which are currently marketed are always being dropped. Apart from the inconvenience of spending the day picking said walking sticks up, the patient is put at risk in trying to make do without them. Provided with more than eighty new elements, the novel version of the walking stick permits the patient to instantly find the solution to his problem whatever the circumstance, to always manage with the walking stick and thus avoid injury. The above modifications can be applied to any type of walking stick and comprise: 1] Generation of a large number of planar facets, staggered along the longitudinal axes (E, H, F, C) and distributed all around the elbow support (Q, W, N). 2] Arrangement of said facets in a succession of small steps (0). 3] Generation of eight large steps of 10mm to 15mm of the type of a reverse step (J, R). 4] Generation of an anterior square edge over several centimetres at the height of the lateral faces of the elbow support (ab). 5] Generation of three crowned surfaces (Y, Z) with grooves (I), at the height of the lateral surfaces of the elbow support and two virtual crowned surfaces (Q bis). 6] Generation of two points (A) and (B) at the level of the lower edge of the elbow support. 7] Generation of a discrete hook to each side at the level of the lower edge of the elbow support  (D). Said walking stick is envisaged as an aid to locomotion, which up to now has only been partly fulfilled. The novel version permits the above to be fully met, saves trouble for patients and saves health service fees.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von hochscherfesten Acrylat-Hot-melts mit niedriger Fliessviskosität für den Hotmeltprozes und ES-Härtung mit geringer Dosis zur Verringerung der Trägerschädigung. Es ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Acrylathaftklebemassen mit NTBAM als Comonomer polymerisiert und anschliessend mit einem ein- oder zweiwertigen Salzen abgemischt wird. Durch den NTBAM Anteil und dessen Elektronendrückenden Effekt wird die ES-Härtung erleichtert, wogegen die Erhöhung der dynamischen Glasübergangs-temperatur und der Scherfestigkeit durch die kovalent-bindenden Metallsalze erreicht wird. Die Fliessviskosität bleibt auch bei Temperaturen von 130°C nahezu konstant.

Abstract: An online manual capable of efficiently identifying a trouble
cause and not requiring trouble for updating. A service engineer (SE)
connects an SE terminal to a service support system (1) and
transmits a trouble event caused in a device to be repaired. In a
judgement route data storage section (16), judgement materials for
identifying a symptom cause are stored in the descending order of
the goodness of fit. A data extraction section (20) extracts the
judgement material in that order and represents it to the SE
terminal. When the SE selects a judgement material matched with
the state of the device to be repaired, the data extraction section (20)
extracts a countermeasure action content corresponding to the
judgement material from the countermeasure action data storage
section (11), an action data storage section (12), and a content
storage section (13) and displays it on the SE terminal.

Abstract: By introducing a hierarchical encryption scheme and the
use of asymmetric cryptography, the critical information in
message exchanges is concealed from unauthorized entities. This
helps greatly in preventing man-in-the-middle attacks faced by
inter-working. In addition, access control is conducted by
introducing a network structure having a rule interpreter that
is capable of mapping general rules to WLAN specific commands.
It obviates the needs for mobile user' s home network to understand
information about every WLAN it is inter-worked with. A common
interface independent of WLAN technologies could be used by the
home network for all the WLANs. The above conception provides
a solution to the problems of the protection of user identification
information and access control in the inter-working of WLAN.

Abstract: A so-called 'Virtual Clock' with varying frequency is provided for used by a multimedia streaming server to adapt its transmission rate dynamically to changing network conditions. The 'Virtual Clock' system and method of the present invention compensates for a potential limitation of the Internet Real-time Transmission Protocol (RTP), that stamps every packet it delivers with a timestamp and expects the server using this timestamp to schedule the transmission of this particular packet accordingly. Consequently, the transmission rate is pre-determined by the encoded multimedia content when RPT is used. Using the 'Virtual Clock' of the present invention, the streaming server has a mechanism to overcome this RTP limitation and can conduct transmission rate adaptation in a way that can balance the bandwidth requirement of the content with the bandwidth availability of the network.

Abstract: The invention provides method and apparatus that utilize a plurality of port sub-arrays, in which each port sub-array comprises a plurality of acoustical ports. The ports of each port sub-array are spaced so that each port sub-array responds to acoustical signals that are generated by acoustical sources within an associated frequency range. In an embodiment of the invention, associated frequency ranges are related in a harmonic manner, in which each port sub-array corresponds to different frequency octaves. The associated frequency range is a portion of the total frequency range of an acoustical system. Received acoustical signals from each of the port sub-arrays are coupled over acoustical pathways and are converted into electrical signals by capsules that may be mounted in a capsule mounting. The electrical signals may be filtered, such as to reduce spatial aliasing, and post processed to further enhance the characteristics of the signals.
