Filed: 2002-12-09
Abstract: An information delivery system (100) is disclosed that is comprised of a postage system
(102) and a server system (104). The postage system applies postage (204) and a network
address (206) to the objects (180) in a postage field (202) on the objects. The postage field
is an area reserved on the objects for the postage. The objects are delivered to users (121).
One of the users enters the network address into a user system (141) to generate a first
message. The server system receives the first message over the Internet (130) from the user.
The first message is addressed to the network address. The server system processes the first
message to retrieve information. The server system transfers the information in a second
message over the Internet to the user. The network address may also be included in a
postmark used to cancel the postage.

Abstract: The apparatus for roll grooving thin wall pipe (P)
comprises a housing (12) supporting a drive roll (20) and
an arm (14) pivotally mounted on the housing (12) and
supporting a grooving roll (24). A feed screw (100) between
the housing (12) and arm (14) provides for pivoting the arm
(14) to displace the grooving roll (24) radially toward and
away from the drive roll (20), and a release arrangement
(50, 152, 154) between the feed screw (100) and arm (14) is
operable to release the arm (14) from the screw (100) to
protect the screw (100) from damage. The feed screw (100)
is mounted on the housing (12) and arm (14) by a double
pivot arrangement. Self-tracking during a roll grooving
operation is provided by dimensionally different knurling
on axially opposite sides of the rolling groove (24) of the
drive roll (20) and/or by inclining the axis (26) of the
grooving roll (24) relative to the axis (20) of the drive
roll (20) and/or by tapering the rolling surface (92) on
the rolling projection of the grooving roll (24) and/or by
supporting the axially outer end of the drive roll (20)
against deflection.

stake (Pi, Pd) of conducting material driven into the ground to send it a first
signal (I, V) of constant value and a fixed frequency and a second terminal
(DV, T) is connected to a second stake (P2) driven into the ground at a
preset distance from the first stake (P1, Pd) and from the ground plant being
controlled, or directly to the ground plant, to receive a second signal (I2, Vr)
indicative of the state of the ground plant being controlled. Provision is
made for measurement means (TC) suitable for measuring the value of said
second signal (I2, Vr) and comparing it with a preset threshold.

Abstract: Techniques for remote control of item transports used in financial document
processing are described. An operator uses a handheld control unit to establish a
communication session with a transport. The transport sends status and error messages to
the control unit, and the operator uses the control unit to issue commands to the transport.
The transport is able to notify the operator of exceptions and other conditions, and the
operator is able to exercise full control over the transport, without a need for the operator
to go to a central console in order to obtain information and issue commands.

Abstract: A watermarking system comprises an encoding data processor operable to
generate at least one marked version of an original item of material by introducing one
of a predetermined set of code words into a copy of the original material item. The
apparatus comprises a code word generator operable to provide the code word having a
plurality of code word coefficients, and an encoding processor operable to combine the
code word coefficients with the material. Each of the plurality of code words of the set
is uniquely associated with a data word having first and second fields. Each of a set of
values of the first field is represented as a first part of the code word having a first
plurality of coefficients, and the second field is represented as a second part of the
code word having a second plurality of coefficients. 
     The present invention provides a facility for generating watermark code words
having a hierarchy of values. By providing watermark code words having first and
second parts, a data word with first and second fields can be uniquely identified. The
first and second fields can be assigned to different associated parameters such as for
example address parameters. The first field could therefore identify the country of
distribution of the material, whereas the second field could identify a particular
distribution outlet within the country. A watermarking system can be formed, which
finds particular application in identifying a point of distribution of pirate copies of
video material generated by capturing the watermarked image, using, for example, a
camcorder in a cinema.

Abstract: Devices and methods for processing data
transmission units (DTUS) that are either entering or
exiting a network. A device having multiple processor
modules is provided along with a controller and an
interface for the multiple processors. Each processor
can work on any one of the connection levels and can
independently process incoming or outgoing DTUS. Each
processor module can perform the required calculations
and data manipulation required for BIP 8 calculation,
binding, and trail trace identifier validation. The
controller receives the incoming or outgoing DTUS and
assigns these DTUS to the appropriate processor module
that is working on that connection. Connections can be
added or dropped as required by the controller which
also handles the assignment of the processor modules to
the connections. Furthermore, also provided is an
offset scheme for the numbering of the connection levels
that avoids a zero connection level that may arise due
to an AIS event.

Abstract: Dispositif électronique (10) comprenant une matrice de pixels (12), disposés en rangées ou colonnes (14,16), des lignes d'adressage en rangées ou colonnes (18,20) servant à adresser chaque pixel (12). Chaque ligne d'adressage en rangée ou colonne est reliée à deux lignes de décharge (30,32) par un circuit à décharge (38). Le circuit permet le passage de la charge entre la ligne d'adressage et la première ligne de décharge (30) lorsque la ligne d'adressage est à un potentiel inférieur à celui de la première ligne de décharge, et permet le passage de la charge entre la ligne d'adressage et la seconde ligne d'adressage (32) lorsque la ligne d'adressage est à un potentiel supérieur à celui de la seconde ligne de décharge. Ceci assure une protection contre les décharges électrostatiques contre une hausse ou une baisse de tension sur les lignes d'adressage en rangées ou colonnes pendant la fabrication du dispositif. En fournissant les tensions appropriées sur les deux lignes de décharge pendant le fonctionnement du dispositif, il est possible d'empêcher le fonctionnement du circuit de décharge, ce qui économise de l'énergie.

Title: Method for determining the propagation delay of a connection with transmission via a packet-based network
Inventor: HOFFMANN KLAUS
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-08-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the propagation delay in a packet-based network for a packet-based network section of a connection between terminals (TlnA, TlnB), at least sections of said connection being routed via the packet-based network (INT). According to the inventive method, the broadcast delay (rdly) in the packet-based network is determined for the packet-based network section of the connection and substantially half of the time period that has been determined for the broadcast delay (rdly) is taken as a value for the propagation delay (PD) of the packet-based network section. The method permits the determination of the propagation delay in the packet-based network. This parameter can help, for example, to determine whether an echo compensation is required during a voice connection.
