Abstract: The method involves a radio system which receives an RF analogous signal at RF sections, from an antenna (10), for IF transfer and filtering. This is then input to an A/D converter and then a demodulator for restoring a broadband, spread-coded pseudo-noise signal to a narrowband data signal using an incoherent demodulator. An orthogonal demodulator determines the bits of the received data signal. A signal noise estimate is formed (14) and a selector, selects the base station transceiver unit candidates with the best connections for a future connection. The channel decoder (16) decodes a convolution-coded signal based on a Viterbi algorithm and a source decoder (17) decodes a residually excited linear predictive signal from the channel decoder for a loudspeaker.

Abstract: Dans une extension radio d'un réseau fonctionnant en mode de transfert asynchrone, avant d'établir une connexion donnée, le commutateur d'un réseau fixe interroge les points d'accès pour connaître les disponibilités à ce niveau. Après avoir reçu les réponses, le commutateur décide à quel point d'accès la connexion doit être affectée. Durant le transfert, l'interrogation sur les disponibilités se fait en réponse à la demande de transfert envoyée par le terminal mobile, laquelle demande est transmise, soit quand la connexion au point d'accès ancien fonctionne encore, soit après établissement de la connexion; dans ce dernier cas, la demande est retransmise par le nouveau point d'accès.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to mechanisms of gene expression in plants and more specifically to regulation of expression of genes in plants in a "tissue-preferred" manner. A method for isolation of transcriptional regulatory elements that contribute to tissue-preferred gene expression is disclosed. Transcriptional regulatory elements isolated using the methods of this invention are demonstrated to direct tissue-preferred gene expression of genes within certain tissues of a plant. DNA molecules representing tissue-preferred transcriptional regulatory elements, vectors comprising said DNA molecules and transgenic plants comprising said vectors are demonstrated. These transcriptional regulatory units are utilized to drive tissue-preferred expression of a gene that confers a selective advantage upon a plant.

Abstract: Articles absorbants tels que serviettes hygiéniques, protège-slips, couches d'incontinence pour adultes et analogues. Les articles selon la présente invention comprennent une structure absorbante constituée d'une mousse polymère non ionique, souple et hydrophile, à cellules ouvertes interconnectées, qui convient particulièrement à l'absorption de sang et de liquides à base de sang. La structure en mousse est élastiquement compressible et possède une résistance à la déformation par compression d'environ 5 % à environ 85 % lorsqu'elle est mesurée à une pression de confinement de 0,74 psi à 31° C au bout de 15 minutes. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, ladite structure en mousse est compressible sous des forces telles que lorsqu'elle est placée entre les grandes lèvres de l'utilisatrice, elle se comprime sans déformer lesdites lèvres et est moulée de manière à épouser leur forme. Ladite structure absorbante peut comporter une partie d'absorption/conformation et une partie de stockage, la partie d'absorption/conformation ayant des propriétés mécaniques plus molles que la partie de stockage et présentant un gradient de capillarité en direction de la partie stockage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'exercice physique à deux repose-pieds (30a, 30b). L'arrière de chaque repose-pied est relié rotatif à un pivot (26). L'avant est monté coulissant le long d'un guide (36). La combinaison de mouvement rotatif/coulissant fait que les pieds se déplacent le long d'une ellipse. On peut modifier l'inclinaison et/ou l'élévation du guide (36) pour varier les mouvements de marche/course. En inclinaison/élévation faible, le mouvement peut ressembler à celui du ski de fond. L'augmentation progressive des angles d'inclinaison/élévation permet de simuler la marche, le jogging, la course à pied et l'escalade d'une pente. Le rattachement des repose-pieds aux pivots offre la possibilité d'un mouvement orthogonal par rapport à la rotation pour compenser les imprécisions d'alignement propre.

Abstract: A small envelope is achieved for an inelastically deformed connection between a spring cover and a central housing in a spring brake actuator. The connection is deformed radially inwardly and then extends radially outwardly from the radially inwardly extending portion. This eliminates the radially outwardly extending portion and flanges as are typically utilized in the prior art. Thus, a much smaller envelope is provided. In preferred embodiments of this invention, a seal groove is positioned axially adjacent a securement groove in the central housing. A seal is positioned in the seal groove to ensure an air-tight seal. In addition, a unique diaphragm guiding structure is incorporated into one embodiment of this invention.

Abstract: A vehicle number plate has a front plate of rigid clear plastics material to which is bonded a rear sheet of a plastics material which incorporates, or has applied thereto, a thin sheet of highly reflective background material such that said background sheet is viewed through the front plate. Between the front plate and rear sheet opaque indicia have been applied by transfer from "tiles" on which they are supported before the sheets are bonded together and thus the indicia are viewed through the front plate against the highly reflective background sheet. To obviate the need to trim the sheet material after assembly and to provide simplified assembly a jig is provided having a base (1) with upstanding posts (2) spaced to snugly hold the sheet (4) carrying the indicia. The transparent front plate (5), after removal of the protective layer from the adhesive coated surface, is positioned adhesive face down between the posts and then allowed to fall under gravity onto the sheet (4). It has been found that this ensures precise alignment of the plate (5) and sheet (4) which may have identical dimensions and avoids rucks and creases occurring. After assembly the sheet and plate are removed and passed between rollers to consolidate the bond. If required the sheet (4) may be dropped onto, and bonded to, a backing plate (B) also having an adhesive surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gearing system which includes a pair of gears. The tooth profile of the first gear has three portions: a concave portion lying within the dedendum of the first gear, a convex portion lying within the addendum of the first gear, and a transition zone disposed between the concave and convex portions. Similarly, the tooth profile of the mating gear has three portions: a concave portion lying within the dedendum of the mating gear, conjugate to the convex portion of the tooth profile of the first gear; a convex portion lying within the addendum of the mating gear, conjugate to the concave portion of the tooth profile of the first gear; and a transition zone disposed between the concave and convex portions. The pair of gears may be designed such that no contact between meshing teeth is made along the transition zones. The tooth profiles of the gear pair have constant, or nearly constant, relative curvature. Alternatively, due to the shape of the tooth profiles, constant, or nearly constant, contact stress results when the gears are in mesh.
