Abstract: A small-sized electronic apparatus is provided which, in
the case of use as a watch, can be manufactured at a low cost but
with the same thickness, size, weight, etc., as a conventional
watch and which includes various sensing means for switching and
for shutter opening/closing. Display shutout control means 10
accepts a switching signal from switching means 9 and a closing
signal from a timer control circuit 14, and issues a control signal.
The control signal is fed to a liquid crystal shutter 13 which
uses a liquid crystal panel arranged above an information display
part 80, to perform opening/closing of the shutter.

Abstract: An audience participation system is disclosed, in which the users are invited to initiate a voting process by dialling a predetermined number using one of the conventional short code memory keys on a DECT cordless telephone (1), or specialised equipment incorporating DECT technology, are connected to a Computer/Telephony Interface (CTI) Unit (4) via a wireless Private Branch Exchange (WPBX) (2). The Computer/Telephony Interface Unit can use calling line identity to identify any attempted callers who are not eligible to vote, e.g. calling from remote lines. Some remote lines may be authorised to allow votes to be contributed from authorised parties elsewhere than in the local auditorium. To vote, the users transmit DTMF tones using the keys of their telephone handsets, or speak into their handsets if voice prompts are to be used. A separate channel is provided between the Computer/Telephony Interface Unit (4) and each cordless telephone or remote user. The Computer/Telephony Interface Unit (4) can therefore identify each individual vote, and ensure that only one vote is received from each telephone. The DTMF tones or other are raw voting data which is transmitted to the computer (5) for analysing the raw voting data, for display of voting statistics to the audience on a display browser (6). Since the identity of each handset is known to the Computer/Telephony Interface Unit (4), demographic data previously stored relating to the individual users of the handsets, or to earlier voting results, may be correlated to provide further information for processing by the computer (5). Variations of the system are disclosed for use in examinations, and for use in exhibitions etc., the information to be transmitted being selected according to the currently serving radio base station, and pre-programmed information selected by the user.

Abstract: An article of jewelry arranged to simulate natural optical effects, such as sparkle and scintillation, is described. The article comprises a jewel, such as a brilliant cut diamond and one or more light sources, such as colored LEDs, incorporated in the article of jewelry for emitting light so as to illuminate the jewel. The article also comprises a microcontroller for driving the one or more LEDs to cause them to emit light pulses of varying intensity thereby simulating said natural optical effects of the jewel. The duration of the light pulses and the location of each light pulse can be varied to enhance the artificial illumination. The article preferably has a cordless rechargeable power supply which avoids the need for unsightly electrical contacts by using an inductive loop charging circuit.

Patent EP-0954754-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FERT ALBERT
IPC: H01F10/00
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a magnetic sensor comprising a non-magnetic insulating layer (2) including at least a layer of ferromagnetic particles (4), the assembly being enclosed between two ferromagnetic electrodes (2, 3). For its operation, said sensor uses the passage of electrons by tunnel effect between each electrode and the ferromagnetic particles. The tunnel resistance depends on the orientation of the electrode magnetisation and therefore varies in presence of a magnetic field. Compared to the usual type of junctions (without aggregates), the multichannel and multistage characteristic of tunnel conduction eliminates the problems of short circuits caused by porosity, thereby providing a less delicate product with improved resistance to burn-outs. The possible thermal fluctuations of magnetic couples of the aggregates can be eliminated by selecting a magnetic material for the insulating layer portion containing the aggregates.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une méthode, un système et un programme informatique destinés à faciliter la perception de redevances relatives à une distribution électronique en direct d'objets publiés par voie électronique sur un réseau informatique. Dans un mode de réalisation, la méthode de gestion, utilisant un fichier numérique (renfermant un contenu sujet à une protection par le droit d'auteur pour le compte d'un prestataire de contenu), débute par l'établissement d'un comptage du nombre de copies autorisées du fichier numérique. En réponse à un protocole donné, une copie de ce fichier numérique est alors transférée de manière sélective d'une source à une cible. Ainsi, la source et la cible peuvent, par exemple, se trouver sur un même ordinateur, la source étant une mémoire à disque et la cible un dispositif de rendu (par exemple, une imprimante, un écran de visualisation, une carte son ou analogue). On consigne une indication, dans le cadre de cette méthode, chaque fois que le fichier numérique est transféré de la source à un dispositif de rendu cible et le comptage est décrémenté lors de chaque transfert. Lorsque ce comptage atteint une valeur donnée (zéro, par exemple), le fichier est détruit  ou son transfert est rendu impossible. Les indications consignées sont transmises à un serveur de gestion afin de faciliter le règlement des redevances au prestataire de contenu.

Abstract: In a method for matching two images of body-specific patterns, each image consisting of a plurality of pixels and having partially overlapping contents, the degree of correspondence between the contents of the images is determined for different displacement positions representing different overlappings of the images. More specifically, a plurality of numbers are determined for each one of a plurality of said displacement positions. Each number is formed with the aid of pixel values from both images and is used to simultaneously retrieve overlap assessment values for at least two of said displacement positions. The overlap assessment values retrieved are subsequently used to determine the degree of correspondence between the images for the different displacement positions. The method is carried out with the aid of a computer and can be implemented as a computer program.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for reinking a ribbon (11) of a printer ribbon cartridge provides a selected reinking pattern across the width of the ribbon. A porous member (13) in contact with a source of ink has a height equal to a distance between a first edge of the ribbon and a distal edge of a double striker zone (29) of the ribbon. The porous member is in contact with a transfer roller (19), which in turn is in contact with the ribbon. The ribbon moves through the printer cartridge along a path of a Möbius loop. As the ribbon passes the transfer roller for the first time, ink is provided to a single strike zone (27) and to the double strike zone of the ribbon. As the ribbon passes the transfer roller for the second time, the ribbon is reversed given the pattern of the Möbius loop, and ink is provided again to the double strike zone, as well as to the other single strike zone. Twice as much ink is therefore applied to the double strike zone as to each of the single strike zones. More than twice as much ink is provided to the double strike zone by further providing slots circumferentially around the transfer roller in a selected pattern. Desired ratios of ink transfer to different regions of the ribbon are also achieved by forming a porous member of segments having varying firmness, by chamfering an outer surface of the porous member and/or the transfer roller, and by selectively texturizing the transfer roller. Undesirable effects of gravity are overcome by positioning the porous member and transfer roller to contact the ribbon while the ribbon is in a horizontal orientation.

a conventionally used amount, at least 75 % of a corresponding yield
attained conventionally has been achieved. That is, not only control of
the reaction and easy after treatment but also a high yield has been
achieved.
