Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a check-back signal in a transmission system for optical signals. According to said method, a constant proportion of the output in a defined frequency range of the check-back signal is concentrated in a narrow-band spectral range and is determined after a transmission phase by means of a narrow-band detection of the concentrated energy around the spectral range. If no signal is identified during the narrow-band detection, a line interruption is determined and no pump source is switched on for safety reasons. The narrow-band detection of the check-back signal also allows the transmission attenuation of the transmission system to be measured.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for, in one aspect, persisting identifiers and relationships in a transient peer-to-peer networking environment where communities have ad hoc participants. Persistent identifiers are defined for nodes, allowing nodes to be identified across sessions and invocations, even though they re-enter the network with a different network address. Paths taken by content resources as they traverse the network (e.g. which nodes forwarded the content) are persisted, along with reputation information about nodes (e.g. indicating how successful they are at answering queries from peers). Trust relationships can be derived using the persisted information. A tiered broadcast strategy is defined for reducing the number of messages exchanged. Other aspects are also disclosed.

Title: An adjustable garment waistband and method of manufacture
Inventor: VILLALOBOS ORA ZOE
IPC: A41D1/06
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: A figure defining and contouring garment, which outlines and defines a wearer's body contours in a fashionable and comfortable manner, includes a waistband coupled to a body with a rear tunnel that extends along the inside rear of the garment from the lower rise or crotch area to the waistband and a waistband tunnel that extends through the waistband. A drawstring anchored in the lower rise area extends upwardly through the rear tunnel to the waistband where it transitions to the waistband tunnel through a diverter region in the waistband. The drawstring transition between the rear and waistband tunnels is advantageously hidden within the waistband. The drawstring is used to adjust the fit of the garment by pulling on the drawstring to tighten the drawstring. In a preferred embodiment, the diverter region of the waistband is substantially fixed relative to the lower rise portion of the garment, which results in the rear tunnel and the center rear of the garment being drawn inwardly to define the contours of a wearer's body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for purifying waste water that is polluted with organic and/or inorganic matter. The invention is characterized in that the waste water is evaporated and condensed within a primary system (13) and a secondary medium (14), preferably untreated water, within a self-contained secondary system (14) that contains a compressor (66) and that is separate from the primary system (13) by evaporating the waste water by heating it on the secondary medium (14) previously compressed in the compressor (66) and further heated up. The steam is guided through a cyclone (58) and the secondary medium expanded in the secondary system (14) is evaporated by condensing the waste water steam. The total waste water fed to the primary system (13) is subdivided into a first partial flow (23) and an at least commensurate second partial flow (24). The first partial flow (23) is brought to a temperature close to the boiling point in a first heat exchanger (28) at the outlet of the primary system through which hot distilled water (31) flows and the second partial flow is brought to a temperature close to the boiling point in a second heat exchanger (38) through which the removed hot clarification (36) flows. The ratio referred to as concentration factor (CF) of supplied total water per time unit to clarification quantity per time unit is selected to range between greater 1 and approximately 20. The inventive method is suited for the thermal reprocessing of waste water and produces germ-free distilled water of high quality and a greater or lesser concentration of the water to be evaporated while saving energy.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to improve a rate of recognition
and recognition speed, reduce a degree of a specification required for a device
forming a photographing device or a system and lower consumed electric power
and a cost. In a character recognition processing method according to the
present invention, a character image as an object whose character is to be
recognized is displayed on a display (12) together with a cursor of a character
frame for recognizing a character. While the cursor is set to a character string
as an object to be recognized, the character image is photographed by a
photographing part (9). In an image fetching part (3), the image data of the
photographed character image is fetched. In a layout analyzing part (5), the
fetched image data of the character image and cursor position information from
a cursor control part (4) corresponding to the character image are received.
The image data is collated with the cursor position information to analyze the
arrangement of the lines or characters of the character string as the object to be
recognized. Then, in a character cutting part (6), the character is cut on the
basis of the analyzed result. The character is recognized relative to the
character image by a character recognizing part (7) to convert the image data to
character data.
