Abstract: Tunnel monitoring system comprises ultrasonic sensors (7, 9, 10) arranged along the longitudinal path of a road lane (2, 4) so that vehicles (3, 5) pass through the beam transmission and receipt areas (11, 12). Corresponding sensor signals are output to an analysis unit where a speed measurement unit is provided with which the speed of each vehicle can be determined from its travel time between two sensors. <??>The monitoring system can be expanded to provide measurements of vehicle position, direction and density as well as enabling determination of vehicle types. Danger situations can be quickly detected and reactions to a current situation quickly implemented by control of traffic guidance and safety systems.

Abstract: Disclosed is an article that comprises an optical waveguide mode converter for
converting light of wavelength λ in a few-moded optical waveguide from a given guided
mode (e.g., LP 01.f ) to another guided mode (e.g., LP 02.b ). The converter comprises a tilted
refractive index grating in the core of the waveguide. Appropriate choice of the refractive
index profile n(r), photosensitivity p(r) and tilt angle makes possible substantial nulling of
the coupling between some guided modes (e.g., LP 01.f  to LP 01.b , and LP 01.f  to LP 11.b ), and
substantial maximization of the coupling between other guided modes (e.g., LP 01.f  to
LP 02.b ). Mode converters according to the invention can be advantageously used in optical
fiber communication systems in add/drop multiplexers.

Abstract: A technique for handling residual ink that is from time to time present on
the orifice plate (26, 128, 228) of an ink-jet print cartridge. In one preferred
embodiment, an ink-jet print cartridge is equipped with an ink-receptive
member, such as an absorbent pad (60, 260). The pad is located so that a
service station wiper will move the residual ink from the orifice plate and
spread it across the pad. The pad absorbs the ink. In essence, the ink is
sequestered on the cartridge, in the pad. The exterior surface of the pad dries
quickly so that there is little likelihood of developing a tacky area over the pad
to which fibers may stick and degrade print quality.

Abstract: A credit card system is provided which has the added feature of providing additional limited use credit card numbers and/or cards. These numbers and/or cards can be used for a single or limited use transaction, thereby reducing the potential for fraudulent reuse of these numbers and/or cards. The credit card system finds application to "card remote" transactions such as by phone or Internet. Additionally, when a single use or limited use credit card is used for "card present" transactions, so called "skimming" fraud is eliminated. Various other features enhance the credit card system which will allow secure trade without the use of elaborate encryption techniques. Methods for limiting, distributing and using a limited use card nubmer, controlling the validity of a limited use credit card number, conducting a limited used credit card number transaction and providing remote access devices for accessing a limited use credit card number are also provided.

Abstract: Objects that are managed within a run-time environment are stored on N-bit aligned addresses. Due to the alignment restriction, the N least significant bits of a reference to an object are available for storing information about the storage properties of the object. This information is extractable by fast register operations. The storage properties can include the lifetime, format, and contiguity of the object, or a combination of these properties. If the run-time environment implements a generational garbage collector, the reference tags are used to encode whether or not the object is recently allocated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data between members (OP 1, ..., OP 5) of an operator service (OPS) in a digital telecommunications network (NET) in which a calling operator (OP1) sends, to the switching center (VST) thereof, a request together with the identification of a called operator and at least one first data set. A request for the disclosure of information concerning the position of the called operator (OP 2) is sent from the group processor (GRP) of the connection group (LG1) to the coordination processor (COP). Said coordination processor determines the information concerning position from a list (LIS) and sends this information to the group processor (GRP) of the calling operator (OP 1). The group processor establishes a data connection via a data interface (RIN). The first data set is sent over a data channel to the called operator (OP 2), and the connection is then established in the data channel up to the calling operator.

Wireless devices distributed throughout an enterprise are enabled to be efficiently initialized for secure communications. Well-known public key cryptography and machine unique identifiers are utilised to establish a secure channel and initialize the wireless devices.  Wireless devices are enabled to be paired or permanently associated by a user or a network administrator. Well known public key cryptography and machine unique identifiers are utilised to establish a secure channel and associate the devices with each other. This is extremely useful for associating a wireless headset with a telephone or associating a wireless mouse with a computer.
