Patent EP-0830017-B1 (EP)

Abstract: Data pages (305,310,315,320,325,330,335) of an interactive program guide (IPG) for television are transmitted according to a shuffle function which allows different television receivers to retrieve particular segments of the data pages based on the day and time of program listings which a viewer wishes to see. A page of data, which corresponds to a full-screen image, is divided into segments and retrieved by the receivers over time. The segments are shuffled to provide an optimal separation in the data stream. The optimal separation corresponds to the receiver's input buffer size and processing speed. The pages may be arranged sequentially, or with the even-numbered pages separated from the odd-numbered pages. The pages are partitioned into a number of subsets, and, within the pages of each subset, the segments are shuffled according to a perfect shuffle function such that respective adjacent segment pairs are arranged in an order which maximizes a minimum of their inter-segment distance after shuffling. The minimum inter-segment distance of all the subsets is used to determine a characteristic inter-segment arrival time, which must be large enough to correspond to the receiver's processing capability. The required input buffer size and processing speed of the receivers is reduced, yet data page acquisition speed is increased for all viewers.

Abstract: An aqueous electrolyte ozone generating system (100) comprised of electrolyte tank 12 and liquid-vapor separator tank 1. Electrolyte tank 12 has a liquid supply port located at its upper part which allows the ozone gas-containing liquid (generated at anode 9) to be supplied to liquid vapor separator tank 1. The water at the bottom part of the separator tank flows back to the anode chamber of the electrolyte tank through a return port, and fresh water is replenished to the system simultaneously while the temperature of the water in the separator tank is controlled. Liquid-vapor separator tank 1 is thin in horizontal width and long in the vertical direction. Heat exchanger wall 1a is installed to and covers most of the surface area of at least one side of the separator tank. A temperature control means 2, capable of providing a cooling effect, is integrally installed to the heat exchanger wall. As water is consumed by the electrolytic reaction, the water level in the separator tank is kept constant by the addition of replenishment water to the top of the tank. Both the recirculated and replenished water are cooled when they flow to the bottom of the separator tank, and temperature control is executed based on the temperature of the water at the bottom of the separator tank as monitored by thermocouple 7. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A shoe cleat is adapted to be removably secured in a holder provided on the shoe sole. In a combination of shoe cleat and holder, a screw-threaded spigot (12) on the cleat is inserted with rotation into a complementary socket (18) of the holder, and a locking means (26, 28) becomes interengaged to resist subsequent unscrewing of the assembly. The locking means comprises a ring of free-standing posts (34, 42) extending axially from the cleat and a ring of radially-projective teeth (26) on the holder, the rings being co-axial with the screw axis. During at least later stages of insertion of the spigot (12) into the socket (18), on relative rotation of the rings, engagement of the teeth (26) with the posts (34, 42) causes the posts (34, 42) to deflect resiliently and engagement of the teeth (26) between the posts (34, 42) causes interangagement of the locking means.
