Abstract: An image processing device (10) having a light path
refraction plate (11), where the refraction plate refracts
the light from an object and projects it on an image
pickup device. The refraction plate (11) is movable
within a predetermined angular range. A ray composing an
image of the object is projected successively on a
predetermined number of positions with respect to a
corresponding pixel of the image pickup device, and a
perfect image is obtained by synthesizing a plurality of
images obtained by such a process. Thus, a high quality
image having a high resolution can be obtained with an
image pickup device having a low resolution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an enhanced micropump for the
nebulisation of fluids. The micropump, mounted on a bottle cap (42),
comprises a hollow body (1) and a set (2) of stem and piston such as to
constitute a "metering chamber" (21) in the body (1). The set (2),
protruding outside the body (1), is joined with a dispensing push-button
(3) fitted with a nebulisation element (4). Pressing the dispensing push-button
(3) allows the passage of the fluid to be nebulised from the
"metering chamber" (21) to an exit duct for the fluid itself, comprising
a "compression pre-chamber" (6) in the dispensing button (3) and
passages (7) from the chamber to the nebulisation element (4). A
metering valve is obtained by interposing, in said fluid exit duct, an
elastically deformable shutter (8) positioned in a cylindrical seat (25) in

Abstract: A method of improving the boosted wordline compliance of a memory circuit. A wordline is grounded prior to boosting with a voltage greater than the circuit bias voltage (e.g. vdd) from a boost voltage generator. Grounding the wordline pulls the gate of a pass transistor to the bias voltage minus a threshold voltage and prepares the pass transistor to self-boost upon boosting the wordline. The transconductance of the pass transistor is improved, improving the charge transfer from the boost generator to the wordline, decreasing rise time. In another embodiment, an isolation transistor between the wordline select circuit and the pass transistor is boosted to provide additional pass transistor gate voltage.

Abstract: A sensor receives a print image from an authorized person to form a template (21), and a candidate to form test data (11). Power spectral density (PSD) data for a template (21) and a candidate (11) are compared, to read out rotation and dilation; these are used to adjust the template or candidate preparatory to a correlation to find translation (51). After applying the translation, and refinement of the rotation and dilation, normalized spatial correlation values (NSCSVs) are used to measure the quality of the match (36) and thresholded (41) to make an early rejection (42) or acceptance (43) decision in very clear cases. Where the question is closure, isomorphic adjustment is applied to the entire template or candidate for a fairer comparison in their overlap area.

IPC: H04W88/02

Abstract: A bit error rate measuring circuit is disclosed which uses a synchronous word and a color code. A shift register stores serial data obtained by demodulating the received signal one bit at a time. A storing unit stores a synchronous word and a color code which are unscrambled data predicted to have been transmitted from a transmitting device. A synchronization detecting circuit detects synchronization between the serial data and a synchronous word and produces a latch signal and a reset signal at the timing of detecting the synchronization. A latch circuit latches the serial data when the latch signal is supplied. A comparator compares the signal latched by the latch circuit with the signal stored in the storing unit one bit at a time, to determine the number of error bits, that is as the number of mismatched bits. If a reset signal is not supplied for a predetermined period of time, a timing control circuit produces a forcible latch signal to make the synchronous detecting circuit produce the latch signal.

Abstract: A bichromal ball (12) includes a first hemisphere (14). The first hemisphere (14) includes a first pigment having a first color and a first polarity. The first pigment is added to the carrier fluid and polymer mixture during formation of the bichromal balls. A second hemisphere (16) includes a second pigment having a second color and a second polarity. The second pigment is added to the carrier fluid and polymer mixture during formation of the bichromal balls. The carrier fluid and polymer mixture have a lower viscosity than the polymer alone and so more easily form reasonably uniform small sized droplets (44). The carrier fluid is substantially removed from the droplets (44) after the first and second hemispheres (14,16) are formed. The polymer is left along with the first and second pigments which form the bichromal ball (12). A diameter of the bichromal ball is reduced by the substantially removing the carrier fluid.

sliding element. The frictional resistance that is
encountered when the rolling element run through the
track rail (2) is the frictional resistance to rolling
motion, which makes less the sliding resistance to the
sliding element.

Abstract: Les pistons plongeurs de pompage (44) sont actionnés de façon radiale vers l'extérieur et rentrent vers l'intérieur sous l'action d'un excentrique (38, 110) mis en rotation par l'axe d'entraînement de la pompe et des semelles coulissantes (90) captives associées. Du fait que ces semelles sont amenées à suivre l'excentrique sur les 360° de sa rotation, elles peuvent avoir elles-mêmes un rôle à part entière dans la mise en oeuvre du fonctionnement d'une soupape de retenue d'entrée (106), laquelle régule l'écoulement dans un sens radial jusqu'à chacune des chambres de pompage des pistons plongeurs par un passage de chargement (104) dans chaque piston plongeur. Le carburant à relativement basse pression présent dans la cavité de la pompe (36) entourant l'élément d'entraînement est aspiré par des ouvertures (106) pratiquées dans l'extrémité radiale intérieure du piston plongeur, par un passage intérieur ménagé dans ledit piston, vers la chambre de pompage. Le chemin emprunté par le carburant basse pression entre la cavité ménagée dans le passage intérieur du piston plongeur peut prendre de nombreuses configurations, notamment celle d'un écoulement direct entre une paroi latérale radiale intérieure du piston plongeur au passage d'entrée central; celle d'un écoulement à travers une fente pratiquée dans l'élément d'entraînement qui s'aligne avec un orifice dans chaque semelle et qui, à son tour, est en communication fluidique avec le passage intérieur dans le piston plongeur; ou alors la retenue exercée par les semelles contre l'élément d'entraînement peut permettre une légère séparation entre une semelle et l'élément d'entraînement de façon momentanée, ce qui permet au carburant basse pression de pénétrer dans un orifice pratiqué au niveau de la base de la semelle, laquelle est, à son tour, en communication fluidique avec le passage intérieur du piston plongeur.
