Title: Stand aid
Inventor: ANDERS FRIDOLIN
IPC: A47C9/02
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a stand aid with at least one sitting surface (4) that is arranged on a support frame (1) and can be adjusted between a load-free rest position (R) and at least one sitting position (S) in which it is subjected to the load of a user, whereby adjustment is carried out by means of the support frame (1) which automatically readjusts the sitting surface (4) back into the rest position (R) by means of a resetting mechanism as soon as the load of the sitting surface (4) is removed. The aim of the invention is to provide a stand aid that takes over as much of the strain of standing as possible. To this end, the support frame (1) is provided with a pivoting mechanism, can be anchored at a bottom (3) and is provided with at least one support leg (1c). The support frame (1) rests on said leg in the sitting position (S) in order to receive the vertical forces and define the adjusting angle at the bottom (3).

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un système informatisés permettant d'établir des transactions en ligne sécurisées par authentification des détenteurs de cartes. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'identité d'un détenteur de cartes (110) est authentifié avant une transaction d'achat en ligne, grâce à l'utilisation d'une combinaison nom d'utilisateur et mot de passe. Un enregistrement de cet événement d'authentification, associé à d'autres informations, est inscrit dans un fichier d'authentification de détenteur de cartes (100) situé dans une base de données (100) hébergée par la banque (100) émettrice des cartes de paiement. Cette information d'authentification est ensuite couplée à des informations provenant d'une banque d'acquisition (130) du commerçant dans une demande d'autorisation de paiement, en vue d'autoriser le paiement à un commerçant (120). Les avantages de ce procédé et de ce système sont notamment la diminution croissante de la nécessite d'émettre des certificats numériques, la conservation des programmes de récompense pour la fidélité des consommateurs, la capacité d'utiliser des sites d'achat en ligne qui nécessitent l'utilisation d'un seul numéro de carte de crédit et l'établissement de transactions en ligne sécurisées avec une complexité minimale pour le commerçant et pour les autres parties à la transaction.

Inventor: CILLIERS BARTOLOMOMEUS JOHANNE
IPC: G01L3/12
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: Dans un moteur alternatif, les courses de combustion des pistons (32) appliquent un couple sur le vilebrequin (30), provoquant la torsion proportionnelle de celui-ci. Des moments de référence sont établis par des déclencheurs (52) qui tournent, au niveau d'une extrémité, avec le vilebrequin, et par un capteur (12.1) détectant le passage des déclencheurs. Au niveau de l'extrémité opposée, des dents d'une couronne dentée (42) déclenchent un capteur (12.2). Lorsqu'il n'existe aucune charge, aucune torsion ne se produit et il est possible de prédire les moments d'arrivée des déclencheurs (42) par rapport aux moments de référence. Lorsqu'il existe une charge, la torsion du vilebrequin provoque le retard des moments d'arrivée, lequel est proportionnel à la torsion, compte tenu de la vitesse de rotation. A l'aide d'informations relatives aux caractéristiques torsion/couple du vilebrequin (30), on calcule des valeurs de couple à partir des valeurs de torsion mesurées, et on les utilise dans la gestion du moteur. On peut appliquer cette invention à n'importe quel arbre, par exemple à l'arbre principal d'un moteur à turbine à gaz.

Abstract: An apparatus for sensing the position of an electrostatic XY-stage (10) through
time-division multiplexing is provided. The apparatus senses the positions of X- and
Y- axes of the stage by applying an excitation signal having a phase difference to a
stator (10-2,10-4,10-6,10-8) of each axis of the XY-stage (10) and then time-division detecting changes in
capacitance from a moving plate (10-1). The apparatus includes: a stage composed of a
moving plate (10-1) for moving a recording medium, rotor combs (10-3,10-5,10-7,10-9) connected to the moving
plate (10-1) so that the rotor combs and the moving plate have the same electric potential,
and stator combs of predetermined axes, wherein differential capacitors are formed
between the rotor and stator combs; an amplifier (11) connected to the stage for
outputting position information in a time-division manner, in which a time constant is
designed so as to prevent interference between position information output from the
stage; a sample/hold unit (12) for sampling and holding the time-division position
information output from the amplifier in response to a timing control signal; and a
controller (14) which outputs a control signal such that the time-division position
information from the amplifier can be sampled and held when the information
reaches a maximum, reads position information output from the sample/hold unit,
and generates excitation signals having different phases to each be applied to a
different axis. The apparatus detects acceleration or position with a single detection
circuit from a single mass along multiple axes through the use of time-division
multiplexing, thereby reducing the area of the detection circuit.
