Abstract: The input protection circuit includes an inverting
amplifier circuit (10) which converts the potential of an
input signal input in such a way that the potential of the
input signal lies in the input range of the potential range
of a signal inputtable to an IC internal circuit (11). One
protection diode (D1) is connected to a virtual ground node
(N1) between an input resistor (R1) and an operational
amplifier (OP) and a positive power-supply terminal (VDD) to
allow the input signal (V1) which has excessively exceeded
the input range on the positive power-supply terminal (T2)
side to flow toward the positive power-supply terminal (T2),
and another protection diode (D2) is connected to an
arbitrary point between an input terminal (T1) and the input
resistor (R1) and a negative power-supply terminal (T3) to
allow the input current of the input signal (V1) which has
excessively exceeded the input range on the negative power-supply
terminal (T3) side to flow toward the input terminal
(T1) from the negative power-supply terminal (T3), thereby
protecting the IC internal circuit.

Abstract: The user's fingerprint is analyzed by the pattern matching module which
draws upon pre-stored fingerprint data that may be encrypted. The pattern matching
module works in conjunction with an authorization module and resource access
module to ascertain a user's authorization level or security level and then give the
user access to only those computer resources for which he or she has been granted
authorization. The system preferably employs inter-modular encryption so that the
system can be distributed across a network if desired.

Abstract: A packaging apparatus (20) includes a pair of rolls
(50,52) forming a nip through which two web portions (22,24)
are passed with an item to be packaged between the web
portions. The rolls (50,52) include resiliently

the thickness of the item, and the roll portions press the
web portions to seal them together in peripheral regions
surrounding the item and to center the item between the
webs in the thickness direction. The apparatus (20) also
includes side seal devices (102,102') that traverse
inwardly toward the item to seal the webs (22,24)
together close to the item's opposite side edges to
prevent the item from laterally shifting. The web
portions may have cohesive disposed on their facing
surfaces such that the web portions adhere to each other
with pressure but tend not to adhere to the packaged item
or other surfaces.

Abstract: A control method and apparatus for a door-locking mechanism which
includes an electrically-released latch (21), to lock the door closed. A
processing unit (10) sources first and second data streams each of a repeating
string of binary data, the two strings being of the same bit length and bit rate,
the processing unit also having two sensing inputs. A normally-open first switch
is associated with the latch and connects the first data stream to the first
sensing input other than when the latch is released, and a normally-open
second switch is associated with the door and serves to connect the second
data stream to the second sensing input so long as the door remains closed. A
normally-closed third switch is also associated with the door and serves to link
together the first and second sensing inputs when the door is not closed. The
processing unit outputs a signal indicative of an error condition should the data
stream which appears at either sensing input not be the expected stream.

IPC: H04L12/28

Abstract: The invention relates to the bridging technology of home
networks, namely a HAVi home network and an IP based network
such as UPnP network. When combining both networks via a
gateway (10) the service of controlling a UPnP device from a
HAVi device shall be provided. A problem arises from the
fact that not for every UPnP device a corresponding device
control module exists in the HAVi network technology so that
some of the UPnP devices cannot be controlled via a corresponding
device control module (DCM). 
     The invention solves this problem by means of two basic
software elements, namely a specialized function control
module (FCM) to be implemented in the gateway (10) and a
JAVA programme (HAVLET) that is run on the HAVi controller
(31). The UPnP network is an IP based network. Therefore
each UPnP device is represented by a so-called XML document.
Such an XML document includes a number of XML descriptions,
which are nothing else than function descriptions for the
controllable elements. A function control module (FCM) according
to the invention includes means for requesting the
function descriptions of the UPnP device and for forwarding
these function descriptions to the HAVi controller (31). The
function control module (FCM) may include means for translating
the retrieved function descriptions before forwarding
to the HAVi controller (31). In the HAVi controller (31) the
JAVA programme (HAVLET) is run and this programme takes the
function descriptions received from the gateway (10) and
generates a user interface with this information. The JAVA
programme may be uploaded into the HAVi controller 31 during
the configuration phase of the HAVi network.

fit the tabs under the end fingers. The card is flexed
transverse to the plane thereof so the edge of the tab is
beyond the arch allowing the guide to unflex so that the
tab is moved under the arch.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un ondemètre  pour laser UV permettant des mesures de qualité de faisceau de longue durée dans un système de laser pulsé à UV à impulsions d'une fréquence de 2000 Hz ou plus et d'une énergie de 5 mJ ou plus. Dans l'exécution préférée, la configuration à éclairage renforcé réduit l'éclairage de l'étalon par impulsion d'un facteur 28 par rapport à la configuration usuelle antérieure, tandis que l'optique ramène la lumière pénétrant dans l'étalon à la quantité juste nécessaire pour éclairer un réseau linéaire de photodiodes positionné de manière à mesurer les franges d'interférence produites par l'étalon. Dans cette exécution préférée, deux faisceaux d'échantillonnage produits par réflexion sur les deux surfaces d'un diviseur de faisceau sont diffusés par un diffuseur réfractif dont la sortie est focalisée sur deux duffuseurs secondaires séparés qui combinent efficacement les deux faisceaux en deux faisceaux secondaires diffus séparés et spectralement équivalents.
