Abstract: When a received image is recorded on roll paper, and when the roll paper on which the image is recorded is cut in a standard size to output the image, the leading end portion of the received image is removed so that the image is recorded on the roll paper. If the length of the recorded image is less than a standard size length, blank space is added to the image to output the recorded image in a standard size. This permits the received image to be recorded in real time and a recorded image of an appropriate standard size to be obtained. There is thus no need for a large capacity image memory.

Abstract: Polymères allyle-fonctionnels possédant des fractions énamines pendantes et de préférence des groupes méthacrylates pendants. La présence de groupes de ce type dans le polymère permet à une réaction de réticulation par voie radicalaire de se produire pendant la formation de films, et permet d'obtenir des revêtements ayant une meilleure résistance aux solvants. On peut préparer des particules en dispersion aqueuse contenant des groupes amino, en faisant réagir une propylène-imine avec des latex renfermant un acide carboxylique. Ensuite, on fait réagir à la température ambiante les latex amino-fonctionnalisés avec, par exemple, un méthycrylate acétoacétoxyéthylique. Lors d'études de durcissement thermique et à la température ambiante, les films transparents ont présenté des augmentations sensibles de la résistance aux solvants, de la fraction gélifiée et de la densité de réticulation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour transformer le diester d'un polyol de polyéther (par exemple, l'ester de diacétate d'éther de polytétraméthylène, PTMEA) en un polyol de dihydroxy polyéther (par exemple, le glycol d'éther de polytétraméthylène, PTMEG) . Ce procédé consiste à assurer une distillation réactive selon laquelle un diester de polyol de polyéther est placé dans la partie supérieure de la colonne, avec une quantité efficace d'au moins un oxyde de métal alcalin ou d'un oxyde de métal terreux alcalin, un catalyseur d'alcoxyde ou d'hydroxyde (par exemple, du méthoxyde de sodium) et de l'alcanol en C1 à C4 (par exemple, du méthanol). On ajoute en même temps de la vapeur d'alcanol chaud dans la partie inférieure de la colonne de distillation réactive pour balayer tout ester d'alcanol formé par alcanolyse du diester du polyol de polyéther vers le haut. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir des transformations de haut niveau du PTMEA en PTMEG, à une échelle commerciale, le dessus de la colonne permettant d'effectuer une séparation azéotropique de l'acétate de méthyle et de recycler le méthanol.

IPC: H04L47/43

Abstract: A protocol processing portion 11 performs SSCOP processing while
referring to protocol parameters stored in a parameter managing portion 12.
The parameter managing portion 12 includes a parameter changing portion
and a parameter table. The protocol parameters required in performing the
SSCOP processing in the protocol processing portion 11 are stored in the
parameter table. The parameter changing portion changes the value of a
prescribed protocol parameter (MaxPD) in the parameter table depending
on the number of data packets whose transfer is required at one time by a
data transfer application 14. A connection setting portion 13 sets a logical
channel between the data transfer device and a data transfer device which
is a destination of communication through an ATM network 17, to allow data
transfer. The data transfer application 14 sets a logical channel between the
data transfer device and a device which is a destination of data transfer
upon instructing the connection setting portion 13, then assembles data to
be transferred into packets, and requires transmission of the packet data of
the protocol processing portion 11. A communication control portion 15
sends out to the ATM network 17 control data for setting the logical channel
given by the connection setting portion 13 or the packet data given by the
protocol processing portion 11. Such construction makes it possible to send
out a delivery confirmation packet (POLL) immediately after the data packets
continuously sent out, and quickly confirm the delivery of the data.
Consequently, a data region held by a device on the transmission side can
be quickly released, so that the data region can be efficiently used. Further,
a window size is updated immediately after the data transfer, thereby it is 
possible to avoid situations where the window size is not updated by the
impossibility of the confirmation of the delivery. As a result, even when data
high in real time properties such as video data is transferred, it is possible
to exhibit a sufficient performance.

IPC: G06F7/72
Filed: 1997-02-06
Abstract: A system for encrypting a plaintext block using a block encryption algorithm having a block size smaller than that of the plaintext block. The plaintext block is transformed into a masked plaintext block using an invertible transformation optionally dependent on additional data and defined such that each bit of the masked plaintext block depends on every bit of the original plaintext block. A subportion of the masked plaintext block is encrypted using the encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted portion of the masked plaintext block. A ciphertext block is generated from the thus encrypted portion of the masked plaintext block and the remaining portion of the masked plaintext block. The ciphertext block is transmitted to a data recipient, who reverses the procedure to recover the original plaintext block. Since the entire masked plaintext block is necessary to reconstruct the original plaintext block and since the encrypted portion cannot be derived from the remaining portion, the remaining portion of the masked plaintext block may be transmitted to the recipient in unencrypted form. To thwart certain cryptanalytic attacks, either the plaintext block or the optional additional data is uniquely modified for each encryption of a plaintext block, using an incrementing counter, time stamp, random number or other mechanism. In an exemplary embodiment, an elliptic curve algorithm having a block size on the order of 160 bits is used to encrypt a 512-bit block containing a symmetric encryption key.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for amplifying and detecting a target nucleic acid. The method comprising contacting a sample suspected of containing the target nucleic acid with a thermostable DNA polymerase and two primers that are substantially complementary to the target nucleic acid, under conditions such that the target nucleic acid is amplified. The amplified target nucleic acids are then denatured to form single stranded nucleic acids. Following amplification, the sample is subject to a pre-detection incubation step. The sample is incubated for between 1 second and 30 minutes at between 95°C and 120°C to inactivate said polymerization agent. Finally, the presence or absence of the amplified target nucleic acids is determined.

Abstract: The invention the subject of this application relates to a container in the form of a tub (2) for a foodstuff (12) which typically can be removed from the container by a spoon or other similar utensil. Conventional containers of this type have relatively straight side walls and base walls, and where the side walls are joined to the base, a relatively sharp corner is defined making it difficult to remove the foodstuff from the area of the container adjacent the side wall and base. This problem has not been overcome previously and the current application relates to a container which has a shaped interface (8) which joins the side walls and the base and said rounded section is of a sufficient dimension to allow foodstuff in the form of, for example a scoopable solids foodstuff, adjacent this area to be scooped or otherwise removed.

the LP 01  mode of the fiber at the laser radiation at wavelength λ. In one embodiment the
fiber has a core diameter d c  selected such that the LP 01  mode is the only guided spatial
mode of the fiber, and d RE  is greater than d c . In another embodiment the fiber supports at
least one higher order guided spatial mode, typically LP 11  or LP 02 , and d RE  is
approximately equal to or larger than d c . Currently preferred embodiments comprise a
grating-defined laser cavity that comprises a mode-coupling refractive index grating (45).
Cladding pumped lasers according to the invention will typically have efficient conversion
of pump radiation to laser radiation, and consequently can typically be shorter than
analogous prior art cladding pumped lasers.
