Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de surveillance répartie permettant le stockage numérique de données, ainsi que la reconnaissance de structures externes obtenues dans des opérations parallèles. Les données numériques peuvent être stockées selon différents niveaux de compression et la reconnaissance de structure réalisée alors que les données numériques sont toujours sous leur forme compressée. La taille d'une trame numérique est réduite lorsqu'on n'observe pas de déplacement à travers les trames séquentielles, minimisant de cette façon le stockage. L'invention concerne aussi un procédé de détection de la présence d'un évènement consistant à comparer une première taille de trame compressée à une taille de trame ultérieure compressée afin de déterminer l'apparition d'un évènement. Un procédé de surveillance d'un jeu de chance consiste à faire fonctionner une caméra vidéo afin d'obtenir un flux de données comprenant plusieurs actions répétitives stockées dedans, se rapportant au jeu de chance, et à analyser automatiquement le flux de données afin de compter le nombre d'actions répétitives, le compte obtenu étant un indicateur utilisable pour surveiller le jeu de chance.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for forming a full color laser engraved image on an ID card. As described below, a special image capable layer is prepared that is addressable by one or more near infrared (NIR) lasers. Each type of particle contained within the image capable layer is associated with a particular color (e.g., cyan, magenta, or yellow) and is responsive (i.e., can selectively absorb) a particular wavelength of laser energy to form a laser engraved pixel in that respective color. In one embodiment, the particles are selected such that the wavelengths that they respond to do not overlap significantly. By providing discrete physical particles and preventing a given particle from responding to more than one laser wavelength, it can be possible to minimize so-called “cross talk” between the cyan, magenta, and yellow centers and minimize contamination and/or chemical mixing of image formers. This helps to ensure image accuracy and quality.

Patent EP-1376806-A1 (EP)
Title: Clamp
Inventor: UCHIDA YOSHIMI
IPC: H02G3/32
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: A clamp has an annular strap section enclosing an interior space and defining an opening
between opposite ends of the strap section. A pair of insertion engagement sections are at
opposite ends of said strap section. The insertion engagement sections stand outwardly and
oppose each other at opposite ends of the opening. Each insertion engagement section includes
an axle plate portion projecting from an end of the opening. A wing portion is bent down from a
distal end of the axle plate portion. A stepped latching portion is formed on a distal end of the
wing portion. A dimension of the opening is set to be narrower than a diameter of a wire harness
to be contained in the interior space. The clamp contains the wire harness in the interior space
while the annular strap section is elastically bent outwardly to widen the opening. After
receiving the wire harness in the interior space, the annular strap section returns to its original
position by elastic recovery to narrow the opening, thereby holding the wire harness in the
interior space. The pair of insertion engagement sections are inserted into a through-hole in the
car body panel. After inserting the sections into the through-hole, the stepped latching portions
engage a periphery of the through-hole to lock the wire harness on a car body.

IPC: C03B37/014

Abstract: Applicants have discovered the existence of loss peaks in optical fiber transmission
systems using wavelengths in the E-band and the L-band. Specifically, they have discovered the
existence of narrow loss peaks at 1440 nm, 1583 nm and 1614 nm. Because the peaks are
relatively narrow, they cannot be easily removed by conventional gain equalizers in long haul
transmission systems, and although the peaks are relatively small, they can nonetheless cause
transmission channels to drop out in amplified DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transmission systems.
Applicants have further discovered that these loss peaks are due to carbon contamination of the transmission
fiber. Thus optical fibers should be fabricated essentially free of carbon contamination. This
means eliminating carbon-containing reagents in preform and tube-making processes.
By the term carbon-free is preferably meant < 1000 ppm by weight of carbon,
more preferably < 10 ppm, most preferably < 1 ppm.

Abstract: A wavelength tunable VCSEL is provided. The wavelength tunable VCSEL
includes a current constricting layer (82) which is formed on a lower distributed Bragg
reflector (50), upper and lower electrodes (90,92a,92b) for laser oscillation, and additional electrodes (94a,94b)

from which light is emitted so as to vary a width of an effective resonance region.
Compared to an existing VCSEL, the wavelength tunable VCSEL can rapidly change
a wavelength of emitted light and prevent the deterioration of gain characteristics of
laser oscillation due to variations in the width of the effective resonance region
according to variations in a temperature. As a result, a wavelength tunable region
of emitted laser can be increased.

Abstract: Generator of electromagnetic white noise which does not operate with oscillation or
sweep as the existing noise generators, but by producing a very broad band of white
noise ranging from 1 Hz to 13GHz with continuous operation, that is it produces
successive emissions of a very broad band where the time between two emissions is in
the order of a few picoseconds or even atoseconds, so that the final emitted noise
signal resembles the natural noise. This is achieved with the use of a reversely
polarized PNP or NPN transistor With this reverse voltage connection is achieved the
partial split of the electron flux and as a result a noise signal is produced, which
thereafter is amplified, through several amplification stages, until we receive white
noise with exploitable emitted power.
