Patent EP-1169830-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GATESMAN KEVIN
IPC: H04L29/06

Abstract: Instead of having to subscribe to multiple telephone lines for multiple devices that a user has, a module of the present invention can connect each of the user's devices to an outside communications network using the same telephone line. Such multiple inside connections to the outside communication network using the same telephone line is achieved by provisioning within the invention module the appropriate telephone and computer interface units for the user's telephones and computers, and an appropriate network interface unit for connection to the telephone line that connects the invention module to the external communications network. The module of the instant invention is further provisioned with an IP routing submodule that communicatively connects the various interface units together by managing the addressing of the data that traverses between the outside network and the devices of the user, by routing the appropriate data packets to the appropriate devices by means of pseudo internal IP addresses assigned to the various devices of the user. Other components within the module convert those data packets that are a part of a voice signal into the appropriate analog signal for output to the telephone of the user. Conversely, such components convert any analog input from the user into a corresponding digital signal that is packetized and output to the external communications network.

Abstract: An apparatus for scanning a rotating information carrier (1) having mutually substantially parallel tracks (2) for the recording of information. The apparatus includes a transducer (5) for scanning the information carrier and for generating a position signal (Id) which is indicative of a position of a scanning point (6) scanned by the transducer (5). The apparatus further includes means (4) for rotating the information carrier (1) about an axis (3) and means (7-12) for moving the scanning point in a radial direction with respect to the axis (3). The apparatus has a scanning mode in which the scanning point (6) jumps both from one track to another in a first radial direction and from one track to another in an opposite second direction during reading or writing of a file.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif Luer lock perfectionné destiné aux aiguilles hypodermiques, et des méthodes d'utilisation dudit dispositif afin d'injecter dans le corps humain des solides en suspension. Ce dispositif perfectionné comprend une lumière (36) possédant une zone d'étranglement conique, distalement décroissante, permettant d'injecter un flux amélioré de solides en suspension dans les aiguilles hypodermiques. Un dispositif, comprenant au moins deux filets (50), constitue un dispositif plus sûr pouvant résister à des pressions d'injection plus élevées. Un autre dispositif, comprenant des ailes arrondies (54), est plus à même de résister aux vibrations causées par les oculaires d'endoscopes, et de rester en position. Une méthode consiste à injecter des solides en suspension dans un tissu mou, par exemple des mécanismes de sphincter. Une autre méthode consiste à injecter des solides en suspension dans un tissu entourant un mécanisme pour en corriger les défauts.

Abstract: A system for separating light into different spectrums and for recombining the light includes at least one polarizing beamsplitter and at least one retarder stack configured to condition the polarization of input light differently for different spectrums. A device embodying the invention could utilize multiple polarizing beamsplitters and multiple retarder stacks. Alternatively, a system could utilize a single polarizing beamsplitter and a single retarder stack in combination with one or more dichroic beamsplitters. In preferred embodiments, one or more reflective modulator panels are included to separately modulate each separated spectrum of light. Such an embodiment can be used for a color projection system. In each of the embodiments that utilize modulators, distances between the modulators and the focusing optics is essentially the same.

Abstract: An active matrix electroluminescent display device comprises an array of display pixels (30) arranged in rows and columns with each row of pixels sharing a common line, and with currents through the display elements of a row of pixels passing along the common line. Error values (e) are generated to correct the drive signals (V) for each pixel in a row of pixels, to correct for the different voltages appearing on the common line. These different voltages give rise to horizontal cross talk. The error values (e) are derived by modelling a row of pixels, taking into account the drive signals applied to all pixels of the row. The error values result in updated drive signals (V').

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit configuration (13) of a control device for monitoring if an electric potential has any deviations of the potential that exceed a defined value and for outputting a reset signal (RSTE) for locking output stages (7 to 12) that are controlled by the control device if the deviation of the electric potential exceeds a defined value. Said configuration comprises means for generating a reference potential (REF), a first comparator for comparing the reference potential (REF) with a first comparative potential that results from the potential to be monitored multiplied by a first proportionality factor, and for outputting the reset signal (RSTE); and a second comparator. The invention provides a circuit configuration that detects whether the potential to be monitored exceeds or falls short of two independent and freely selectable comparative potential values. To this end, the second comparator compares the reference potential (RE) with the second comparative potential value that results from the potential to be monitored multiplied by a second proportionality factor and the second comparator outputs the reset signal (RSTE).

Abstract: Each time the number of cumulative rotations of a
spindle rotating motor 11 reaches the number of cumulative
rotations set in a position data table T, a CPU 22 reads
out the mobile positions of a work piece and tool at thus
reached number of cumulative rotations and the next number
of cumulative rotations to reach from a position data storage
section 25, and reads out a moving speed characteristic
between the reached number of cumulative rotations and the
next number of cumulative rotations to reach from a moving
speed characteristic storage section 27 according to an
auxiliary operation designation in the position data table
T. Thereafter, assuming the reached number of cumulative
rotations to be a start point and the next number of cumulative
rotations to reach to be an end point, the CPU 22 divides
the part between the start and end points into predetermined
timings, and defines the mobile positions of the workpiece
and tool at each of the divided timings according to the
read-out mobile positions of the workpiece and tool and moving
speed characteristic.

Abstract: The device has a rod body with at least two light input coupling surfaces, a light output surface and a reflection surface. The input surfaces are adjacent in a plane perpendicular to the reflection and output surfaces, whose separation is selected so the path of light reflected to the output surface is essentially similar to the path of light reflected at the reflection surface of a single input coupling surface rod body. The device has a rod body with at least two light input coupling surfaces (6) at one end, a light output surface (5) emitting light transversely and a reflection surface (4) opposite the output surface for reflecting the light coupled in via the input coupling surfaces to the light output. The input coupling surfaces are arranged adjacent to each other in a plane perpendicular to the reflection and output surfaces. The distance between the reflection and output surfaces is selected so the path of the light reflected to the output surface is essentially similar to the path of the light reflected at the reflection surface of a rod body with only one input coupling surface.
