Abstract: The invention relates to a sports shoe, especially for downhill skiing, ski-touring, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, roller-skating or ice-skating. The inventive shoe essentially comprises a rigid underframe (11), which is located below the ankle of the wearer, two connecting links (30, 31) between the underframe and the leg of the wearer, and two casings (14, 15), which are arranged in such a way that they can firmly link the leg of the wearer to the connecting links. The underframe (11) comprises a front housing (18) and a rear housing (19). The housings are arranged in such a way that they can receive a soft inner boot (12). The underframe (11) also comprises shoulders (17, 17'), which enable the shoe (10) to be fixed in a conventional binding. The inner boot (12) is able to move inside the underframe. These movements can be a vertical movement of the heel and/or be made about a longitudinal axis in relation to the foot of the wearer, in such a way that the leg of the wearer can move naturally during the sporting acitivity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a photovoltaically self-charging storage system having a layer structure in which a first material (1), which forms a first redox system, a second material (2), which forms a second redox system, and a photosensitive material (3) are arranged in or between a first (4) and a second electrically conductive layer (5). At least one of the electrically conductive layers (4, 5) is transparent for visible light. The first and the second material (1, 2) are each in electrical contact with one of the electrically conductive layers (4, 5) and arranged in the layer structure in such a manner that, due to the effect of light, the photosensitive material (3) induces a redox reaction Aox+Bred->Ared+Box, which can be reversed if light ceases. The thickness of the layer over which the first (1) and/or second material (2) extends is configured in such a manner that a charge storage sufficient for operating an electrical consumer is made possible. The additional introduction of a catalyst material accelerating said back reaction enables the spatial separation of the direct reaction and the back reaction. The inventive system enables the photovoltaic conversion and charge storage using a simple layer structure in an advantageous manner.

Title: Procede et appareil pour communications en mode comprime sur une interface radio

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et son procédé correspondant servant à utiliser des techniques d'accès multiple par code de répartition (AMCR) en modes comprimés. Selon certains modes de réalisation, on forme et on émet des trames radio d'un canal de données de liaison montante, comprenant au moins un intervalle de transmission (TG), dans un mode comprimé. On peut obtenir ce résultat en réduisant le facteur d'étalement (par un facteur de deux, par exemple). On peut, en même temps que la réduction du facteur d'étalement, adapter ou ajuster le TG à une longueur désirés (TGL) en utilisant la répétition des bits ( ou la réduction de perforation). Ce procédé permet d'adapter la longueur de l'intervalle de transmission à une longueur désirée, sans devoir augmenter la puissance de sortie plus qu'il ne le faut. Selon d'autres modes de réalisation de cette invention, on forme ou on formate les trames d'un canal de commande de liaison montante de manière à répéter des bits indicateurs de structure (des bits TFCI, par exemple) en mode comprimé. Le(s) bit(s) indicateur(s) de structure suivant immédiatement le TG peuvent éventuellement être répétés ultérieurement dans la trame, étant donné que ces bits peuvent parfois souffrir d'une commande de puissance légèrement plus prononcée que d'autres bits TFCI dans la trame. De plus, les modes de réalisation de cette invention s'appliquent également aux canaux de communication de liaison descendante.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for detecting target molecules, e.g. DNA sequences, particularly single nucleotide polymorphisms, using a pair of nucleotide sequences, a primer and a snp detection sequence, where the snp detection sequence binds downstream from the primer to the target DNA in the direction of primer extension, or ligands and receptors. The methods employ e-tags comprising a mobility-identifying region joined to a detectable label and a target-binding region. The result of the binding of the target-binding region to the target is to have a bond cleaved in the starting material with the production of a detectable product with a different mobility from the starting material, where the different e-tags can be separated and detected

Abstract: An adjustable mounting unit for an optical element of a gas laser is provided. The typical gas laser for which the mounting unit will be used comprises a tube having a first end wall at one end and a second end wall at the other end, an optical axis extending longitudinally through the tube, and a port in the first end wall through which the optical axis passes. The mounting unit includes a rigid support structure having an aperture therein and an optical element mounted within the aperture. In addition, at least three adjustable mounting devices are used to attach the support structure to the laser tube. The mounting points are preferably selected so that they are displaced in an axial direction by substantially the same amount due to dimensional changes in the laser occurring during operation of the laser. When attached to the laser, the rigid support is spaced apart from the laser tube to allow for the adjustment of the angular positioning of the optical element. Furthermore, the aperture and optical element are disposed transverse to the optical axis and are aligned with the optical axis. Adjustment of the adjustable mounting devices changes the angular position of the optical element relative to the optical axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A two-dimensional bar code reading method and apparatus search the finder pattern in a scanned image of a two-dimensional bar code symbol, find orientation modules, find data modules, and convert the symbol to data characters as part of the decoding process for the scanned image of a MaxiCode symbol. In the data module search part of a MaxiCode symbol decoding process, position and shape information is calculated for data modules on an orientation axis, assuming an orientation axis passing the finder pattern center point, inside orientation module center point, and outside orientation module center point (step S1801). Based on pixel data corresponding to the calculated location of the center point in each module, a bit pattern is generated where black data cells are 1 bits and white cells are 0 bits (S1802). The locations of MaxiCode symbol data modules in the area between orientation axes are then calculated (S1803). Pixel data corresponding to the calculated location of the center point of each data module is then converted to a bit pattern where black data cells are 1 bits and white data cells are 0 bits (S1804), and the data module search process then ends. <IMAGE>
