train receiving member (16) and disposed so as to be meshed with
the ratchet wheel (1), an internally threaded wheel (14) having an
internally threaded portion (14a) meshed with the externally threaded
portion (13a) of the externally threaded wheel (13), a gear portion (14b) and
a conical portion (14c) and disposed so as to be meshed with a gear
of the barrel complete, a power accumulation wheel (9) having a
cumulative power pointer (10) fixed thereto and an arm (9a) engaged with
the conical portion (14c) of the internally threaded wheel (14), and a
spring member (15) adapted to urge the arm (9a) of the power accumulation
wheel (9) against the conical portion (14c) of the internally threaded

Abstract: An integrated telephone and hearing aid that has a single in-ear speaker is disclosed. The
illustrative embodiments automatically adapt the operation of the hearing aid based on
whether a telephone call is in progress or not. For example, when the user is  not  engaged
in a telephone call, the illustrative embodiments function as a normal hearing aid. But
when the user does become engaged in a telephone call, the illustrative embodiments alter
the hearing aid function so that the user can hear the telephone call. For example, the
illustrative embodiments attenuate the hearing aid function while a call is in progress so
that the user can hear both the telephone call and retain some, albeit diminished, auditory
input from the environment. This enables, for example, the user to still hear loud sounds
( e.g ., a car horn, a fire alarm, a person screaming,  etc. ).

Abstract: A pin display first embodiment utilizes a cammed two
differently dimensioned cam to press a pin support forward to
make it even or clear it, followed by a flattened portion to
enable a pin support to move back into gentle contact with a
belt having raised numerals which generally advance based upon a
continuously driven motor. A third position on the cam brings
the pin support forward to a third, rest position away from the
belt and at which the mechanism rests, typically for one minute.
The subject matter can be time, temperature, barometric
pressure, or for symbols and pictures for a story telling
application. The device can be configured to display any
dimensional image and can present a sequence of images. A pin
display of a second embodiment of the-invention utilizes push-pull
solenoids to control pre-specified segmented areas of pins
to an outward or inward position.

Abstract: A vehicle control system and method in which a plurality of
beacon tags are disposed along a length of a track for a
predetermine number of blocks. The beacon tags each provide
information pertaining its location. Each vehicle that
passes along the track has a tag reader that solicits
information from the beacon tags and a transmitter that
transmits the solicited information, as well as vehicle
identification information for the transmitting vehicle, to
a wayside control unit. The wayside control unit receives
the transmitted position information and vehicle
identification information and in turn transmits a single
broadcast of information pertaining to each of the blocks
of the predetermined number of blocks. This signal is
received by all of the vehicles, which use only the
information about immediately approaching blocks. In
addition, dynamic tags located at positions along the
length of the predetermine number of blocks can be used as
a backup system for providing the same information that is
provided by the wayside control unit.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de déterminer la concentration de créatinine dans du sang total ou dans du plasma total à l'aide d'une réaction catalysée par la 1-méthylhydantoïnase (NMHase), la NMHase utilisée dans la réaction présentant son propre substrat, la NMH, liée à cette dernière. La présente invention fait appel à la NMHase disponible dans le commerce et élimine par conséquent les procédures de stabilisation de la NMHase des techniques antérieures. Des réactifs de Trinder et des coupleurs oxydants connus sont utilisés pour le système indicateur, sans inconvénient. On a découvert qu'en sélectionnant judicieusement les réactifs utilisés pour le système indicateur et/ou en faisant varier la quantité d'enzymes de NMHase qui est chargée dans le test, l'effet de la réaction de blanche peut être réduit au minimum dans la gamme dynamique d'intérêt, de sorte que la concentration de créatinine dans des niveaux normaux et pathologiques peut être mesurée directement sans avoir à corriger une réaction blanche provoquée par la NMH liée.

Abstract: A method and system for reading a two-dimensional barcode symbol on a
mailpiece. The barcode symbol may be distorted during the printing process or the
image acquiring process, rendering it difficult to recognize by a conventional
template matching method. Typically, a two-dimensional barcode symbol is
composed on a two-dimensional array of visually contrasting blocks. Any group of
four adjacent blocks sharing a common corner may form an identifiable pattern.
These patterns can be used as internal landmarks. When the barcode symbol is
distorted, the distances between the internal landmarks change accordingly. Using
an Lp-norm algorithm to measure the distances in the transform domain, distortion
can thus be determined and the global geometry of the barcode symbol restored
based on the distance measurements.
