Abstract: In a computer system (12) having an audio transducer and a display device and
being operatively coupled to other computers (22) and a server (26) over a
computer network (24), means are described for establishing a point-to-point
communication link between computer systems. The means provide for transmitting
from a first process to the server a query as to whether a second process is
connected to the computer network and for receiving a network protocol address of
the second process from the server when the second process is connected to the
computer network. In response to the received network protocol of the second
process a point-to-point communication link is established between the first process
and the second process over the computer network.

Abstract: A display and a driving method of a display panel capable of
improving a dark contrast. In driving the display panel having
light-emission areas formed at each intersection of a plurality
of pairs of row electrodes and a plurality of column
electrodes, each of the light-emission areas having a first
discharge cell including a portion where the respective row
electrodes in pair are opposed to each other with a
predetermined discharge gap within a discharge space and a
second discharge cell including a portion where a light
absorptive layer is provided and one row electrode of the row
electrode pair and the other row electrode of the row electrode
pair adjacent to this row electrode pair are opposed to each
other with a predetermined discharge gap, an address discharge
is produced within the second discharge cell, to set the second
discharge cell at a light-on state or a light-off state, by
applying a pixel data pulse based on an input image signal, to
respective column electrodes, while applying a scanning pulse
to a row electrode having the longer distance to the first
discharge cell, of the respective row electrodes within the
second discharge cell. This structure causes the address
discharge within the second discharge cell relatively distant
from the first discharge cell, so that the amount of a
ultraviolet ray by the address discharge flowing into the first
discharge cell is reduced, to suppress the deterioration of the
dark contrast.

Abstract: User logic within a PLD is debugged by way of the hub. The PLD includes a serial
interface (such as a JTAG port) that communicates with a host computer. Any number of
client modules are within the PLD and provide instrumentation for the PLD. A module is
a logic analyzer, fault injector, system debugger, etc. Each client module has connections
with the user logic that allows the instrumentation to work with the user logic. The hub
communicates with each client module over a hub/node signal interface and
communicates with the serial interface over a user signal interface. The hub routes
instructions and data from the host computer to a client module (and vice-versa) via the
serial interface and uses a selection identifier to uniquely identify a module. The hub
functions as a multiplexor, allowing any number of client modules to communicate
externally though the serial interface as if each node were the only node interacting with
user logic.

Inventor: DIDOSYAN YURI S
IPC: G02F1/00
Filed: 2003-02-12
Abstract: A magnetic, single-axis crystal is used to modify the polarisation state of light, whereby light passes through predetermined areas of the crystal. To change the polarisation state of the light, a magnetic field pulse is applied to the crystal with a magnetic field amplitude, at which the crystal no longer remains in the single-domain state at the end of the pulse, but returns to a defined multi-domain state that is determined by the direction of the applied magnetic field, thus achieving large usable apertures of the switching element and extremely short change periods. According to the invention, energy is only required for the change operation and not for maintaining a specific state.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un matériau composite comprenant de la silice à fonction acide dispersée dans une matrice polymère à base de poly(éther-cétones aromatiques) ou de poly(benzoyl-phénylène), ou de dérivés de ceux-ci. Ce matériau composite se caractérise par une bonne capacité de rétention d'eau grâce aux fonctions acides et au caractère hydrophile des particules de silice. La présence des particules de silice permet également d'obtenir une bonne imperméabilité aux gaz et aux combustibles liquides utilisés habituellement dans la technologie des piles à combustible, tels que le gaz hydrogène ou les solutions de méthanol. Les bonnes propriétés mécaniques de ce matériau composite permettent de le façonner facilement sous forme de film mince ou de membrane. Il peut ensuite être utilisé sous cette forme comme membrane échangeuse de protons dans des piles à combustible, comme membrane de séchage ou d'humidification pour le conditionnement de gaz ou de solvants ou comme membrane catalytique acide.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'augmenter l'intégrité d'un capteur implantable. Des vides formés entre un tubage extérieur et un substrat de capteur ou un élément espaceur peuvent être par la suite remplis d'un matériau implantable, durcissable, minimisant l'importance avec laquelle des fluides indésirables diffusent à l'intérieur du capteur. Un granulé à matrice enzymatique, ou protéique, en dessous de la fenêtre du capteur peut être prétraité avec un agent réducteur afin d'augmenter sa stabilité de liaison, et de réduire un gonflement indésirable pouvant provoquer un détachement ou une fuite de la fenêtre du capteur. La liaison entre le granulé d'enzyme et une couche d'hydrogel peut être renforcée par application d'une couche de liaison d'intervention de matériau protéique, tel que de l'albumine sérique humaine (HSA). La taille de la fenêtre peut être minimisée par minimisation de la taille d'une électrode sous-jacente, permettant un flux réduit et un allongement du capteur. Un revêtement peut être déposé sur la surface des électrodes du capteur assurant rigidité et lubrification.
