Abstract: A digital camera (1) for capturing sound passages as well as still images has the following elements. It has a camera apparatus (21) for capturing still images. It also has a sound recording apparatus (101, 102, 103, 106) for capturing sound passages. A memory (107) is used for retaining still images as still image files and sound passages as sound passage files. The user interface of the camera is adapted for selectively linking one or more still image files with one or more sound passage files to form a linked group, and for selectively unlinking one or more files from a linked group. This equivalent treatment of still images and sound passages allows effective use of the camera for recording ambient sound together with images, and for flexible construction of sound/image composites representing a user's experience in a rich and effective manner.

Abstract: An electronic copy of a paper document, such as high school transcript, can be attached to an electronic document, such as an application for admission to an institution. The high school providing the paper document is required to have only a simple fax machine. When a student requests that a transcript accompany an electronic application, a request for the transcript is automatically generated by the applicaiton servicer and transmitted to the hight school. The request includes a return facsimile cover sheet that includes an identifier that can be automatically machine-interpreted when the cover sheet is transmitted back to the servicer with the transcipt. The identifier marking is sufficiently robust that it will be machine interpretable, even after rough treatment or serial copying and transmission by the high school. Upon receipt of the transcript facsimile, the servicer automatically interprets the identifying information on the return facsimile cover sheet to identify the student and the particular admissions application for which the transcript was requested. The transcript is forwarded preferably along with application to the appropriate institution after being converted, if necessary, to a data format specified by the institution. The servicer may also store the transcript in electronic form in a secure database for subsequent transmission for a different term or to different institution. Each facsimile cover sheet is preferably "branded" with the logo of the institution to which the student is applying, although the return facsimile number is preferably a toll free number to a computer facsimile server of the servicer. Thus, the servicer can be invisible to the high school.

Abstract: According to this treatment, calcium is added to ultra low molten steel or low carbon which is aluminum killed (or in the course of being killed) in order to form non-metallic deoxidation inclusions that have a melting point which is below the casting temperature; the molten metal is maintained in the chain of treatment ranging from the ladle refining installation to the copper mold with a low minimum low magnesium content of approximately 2 ppm. The inventive method increases the scope of fusibility of the inclusionary population of steels, thereby improving the castability of high aluminum-killed ultra low carbon grades without the need for argon bubbling.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif de gonflage bi-étagé pour coussin d'air (30) comportant des chambres de combustion primaire et secondaire (1, 2) et un orifice d'évacuation des gaz commun (7) qui assure la régulation de la pression de combustion dans les deux chambres de combustion. Ce dispositif permet de gonfler un coussin d'air à des taux différents selon la séquence d'allumage utilisée. Le niveau faible correspond au déploiement du seul niveau primaire. L'allumage simultané des niveaux primaire et secondaire correspond au gonflage supérieur, le déploiement du second étage étant légèrement différé par rapport à celui du premier étage. Ce décalage permet de moduler l'alimentation en gaz.
