Abstract: The use of alkoxylated acetylenic diol surfactants in the aqueous synthesis of
disperse azo dyes provides a simple process for improving filtration properties of
dyestuff. The surfactants may be added prior to the coupling step of the synthesis or
prior to heat treatment of the dye slurry. Advantages that are realized by incorporation
of the surfactants into the synthesis include decreased filtration time, increased solid
content in filter cake, improved washing properties of filter cake, and increased dye yield.
In addition, for azo dyes that are synthesized as non-heat-stable crystal modifications,
the presence of alkoxylated acetylenic diol surfactants in the dye slurry is effective in
promoting the conversion of the dye to the desired thermally stable crystal modification.

Abstract: An improved air return baffle for refrigeration trailers (2) is characterized by a
unitary panel molded from synthetic plastic material and containing integral baffles
for improving air movement to the refrigeration unit (4) of the trailer. The panel is
adapted for mounting in sealed relation adjacent the front wall (6) of the trailer (2) and at
least partially covers the refrigeration unit (4). The lower portion of the panel contains
a plurality of openings for drawing air into the cavity defined behind the panel. Air
is directed by the baffles toward the refrigeration unit (4), and the improved air
movement eliminates hot and cold spots within the trailer. Vents in the panel are
operable should the openings become clogged and a strap is provided to removably
connect the panel with the trailer wall. Wings on the upper wall of the panel direct
air from the cavity to openings in the side portions of the refrigeration unit.

Abstract: A settlement system is provided for an electronic cashing card such as an IC card, a
prepaid card, or the like. A card comprises a memory storing process data to execute a
settlement under a condition of matching a personal authentication. Also, a memory stores
process data to execute a settlement without matching a personal authentication. When
settlement is executed with authentication processing, an authentication balance stored memory
is updated to the amount of the balance after the settlement. A non-authentication balance stored
in memory is updated to an amount of money equal to or smaller than the authentication balance.
When executing a settlement, the non-authentication balance is compared with the authentication
balance. It is determined that an illegal process has been executed with the card when the non-authentication
balance is larger than the authentication balance.

Patent EP-0991220-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WRIGHT DAVID A
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a comprehensive method for controlling, independently, transmit power and coding levels for data transmitted in uplinks and downlinks. One preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method for adaptive coding of data in a downlink. A data error rate associated with downlink data (e.g., a character error rate provided by a Reed Solomon decoder) is determined. The method, based upon pre-established error rate thresholds, controls the level of coding (e.g., heavy or light) on data in the downlink to achieve a desired data error rate. Heavy coded data is typically associated with a code rate half that of light coded data, and chances between heavy and light coding may be selected using a destination address applied at an originating terminal and interpreted at the satellite. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for adaptive power control and data coding of uplink data. Depending on the power level employed by the terminal transmitter, the method (using, for example, a light-to-heavy threshold, a heavy-to-light threshold, and a maximum power value) adapts the power and coding (e.g., heavy or light) used at the terminal to achieve a desired signal to noise ratio (for example) of a signal received at a satellite. Additionally, the method may suspend transmission from the terminal when the terminal cannot achieve the desired signal to noise ratio regardless of coding or power level available to the terminal.

Abstract: A digital image signal is watermarked by locally changing geometric features of the image. The watermark consists of a pseudo-random, dense subset of image pixels, e.g. a pattern of lines (20). A number of significant image pixels (21, 22, 23), i.e. pixels which give the highest response to a predetermined processing operation, is determined and then moved (24) to the vicinity (δ) of the line pattern. As a result of this 'warping', the majority of significant image pixel (21, 22) is eventually located within the vicinity of the line pattern. At the receiver end, the most significant pixels of an input image are again determined. The image is a watermarked image if a statistically high percentage lies within the vicinity of the line pattern.
