Patent NO-985823-D0 (NO)
Inventor: CAO TIELANG
IPC: H04N5/355
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: A pixel-based imaging device is calibrated to take account of the non-linear response of a pixel cell and/or differences between pixel cells. A table is defined which includes an entry for each pixel cell. This is accessed to apply the conversion function determined for the pixel cell to a value output from the pixel cell to compute a corrected value representative of the radiation incident on the pixel cell. The conversion function can include a response function for each pixel cell which represents a non-linear relationship of pixel output values to pre-defined pixel input values and a scale parameter for each pixel cell which represents non-uniformity between pixel cells. Alternatively, the conversion function for each pixel cell can represent respective pixel output values in response to a series of different amounts of radiation applied to the imaging device.

Abstract: Provided is a method and system for performing a handover of a terminal subscriber between sub-cells in a cellular radio network base station. In the method and system, signals from antenna units corresponding to each of the sub-cells are added together to form a combined signal. A signal power of the combined signal and the signal power a signal from a serving sub-cell are measured in a transceiver of the base station. The measurement results are compared. If the signal power of the combined signal is greater than the signal power of the signal from the serving sub-cell, a handover of the terminal subscriber is performed.

Title: E-mail monitoring system
Filed: 2006-03-09
Abstract: A monitoring system is described which monitors the effect of down time of an e-mail server (2) to the disruption of communication between a client computer (1) and a remote computer (7). The monitoring is achieved through the presence of a monitor program (22) which detects that an e-mail server (2) is not functioning properly and then causes messages to be re-routed via a backup e-mail system (3-1 . . . 3-n). The backup e-mail system (3-1 . . . 3-n) sends statistics indicating the volume of e-mail received to a central monitoring system (8) which enables data indicative of the extent to which failure of the e-mail server (2) effects communication of the client computer (1) to be identified.

In a further aspect, instead of receiving a notification of a pending trade, the trade may be executed. In another embodiment, a computer-implemented trading platform includes a processor; a memory with a structured database that stores information relating to two or more environmental offset credits established in the two or more different offset markets. A bid or ask quote for an environmental offset credit is received and a buyer is matched by the processor with a seller of based on the received bid or ask quote. If the seller has an amount of environmental offset credits sufficient for the trade, a trade of an environmental offset credit is executed between the buyer and the seller. Otherwise, a notification of insufficient environmental offset credits to carry out the trade is provided.

Patent GB-8607829-D0 (GB)
Title: Pressure regulator
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1986-03-27
Abstract: A pressure regulator for a fuel gas of the present invention operates to reduce the pressure of the fuel gas kept in a gas container to the predetermined pressure and then supply it to a burner through the secondary passage thereof. Further, the pressure regulator includes a shutoff valve disposed in the primary passage thereof and an actuator of which operation chamber connects to the secondary passage. In the shutoff valve, there is provided a valve body displaceable between the valve open position and the valve shutoff position and sustained in the valve open position by the attractive force of a magnet against the valve closing force by a valve closing means in the normal condition. In case the pressure in the secondary passage is increased abnormally, the actuator is driven by the increased secondary pressure so as to move the magnet away from the valve body and hence to close the primary passage by the valve body.
