Patent EP-1364791-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HAWKINS GILBERT A
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 2003-05-12
Abstract: A liquid emission device includes a chamber (30) having a nozzle
orifice. Separately addressable dual electrodes (28,36) are positioned on opposite sides of
a central electrode. The three electrodes are aligned with the nozzle orifice. A
rigid electrically insulating coupler (40) connects the two addressable electrodes. To
eject a drop, an electrostatic charge is applied to the
addressable electrode (28) nearest
to the nozzle orifice, which pulls that electrode away from the orifice, drawing
liquid into the expanding chamber. The other addressable electrode (36) moves in
conjunction, storing potential energy in the system. Subsequently the addressable
electrode nearest to the nozzle is de-energized and the other addressable electrode
is energized, causing the other electrode to be pulled toward the central electrode (38)
in conjunction with the release of the stored elastic potential energy. This action
pressurizes the liquid in the chamber behind the nozzle orifice, causing a drop to
be ejected from the nozzle orifice.

Abstract: An optical state modulation unit (11) is provided to apply an optical
intensity modulation in temporal domain on a display image (S2)
generated from an inputted image signal (S1) for different gray scale
values such that the optical intensity modulation performed at least one
of the gray scale values of the display image (S2) falls into a region
at which the flicker is perceptible to human vision when a recorded
image obtained by image-capturing the display image (S2) is viewed,
while remaining imperceptible when the display image (S2) is directly
viewed. The optical state modulation unit (11) provides the optical
intensity modulation such that the average optical intensity of the
display image (S2) based on the image signal (S2) with the optical
intensity modulation is the same as that of the display image (S2)
generated from the image signal (S1) without the optical intensity
modulation at each gray scale value.

Abstract: The invention enables to generate a general function (4) which can operate
on an input signal (Sx) to extract from the latter a value (DVex) of a global
characteristic value expressing a feature (De) of the information conveyed by that
signal. 
     It operates by:
     generating at least one compound function (CF1- CFn), said compound
function being generated from at least one of a set of elementary functions (EF1,
EF2, ..) by considering the elementary functions as symbolic objects,   operating said compound function on at least one reference signal (S1-Sm)
having a pre-attributed global characteristic value (Dgt1-Dgtm) serving for
evaluation, by processing (22, 27) the elementary functions as executable operators,   determining the matching between:
   i) the value(s) (Dij) extracted by said compound function as a result
of operating on said reference signal and,   ii) the pre-attributed global characteristic value (Dgt1-Dgtm) of said
reference signal, and     selecting at least one compound function on the basis of the matching to
produce the general extraction function.   
     The invention can be used, for instance, for the automatic extraction of
audio/music descriptors from their signals contained as music file data.

Abstract: The miniature connector includes two connection points (20,21) for the thermocouple (1) and a printed circuit which supports electronic components. A sensor (24) measures the ambient temperature and an amplification circuit (25,26,27,29) amplifies the signal provided by the thermocouple, to be delivered via the single cable which both provides power and collects the data signal. The miniature connector includes electronic components mounted within it to support a thermocouple. It includes two connection points (20,21) for a thermocouple (1) linking it to a printed circuit which supports the integral electronic components. Three further connection terminals (230,231,232) link the printed circuits to a cable (3) which supplies power to the device and transfers the signal which has been shaped by the integral electronic circuit. A sensor (24) measures the ambient temperature within the connector, and is situated between the two connection points (20,21) of the thermocouple. An amplification circuit (25,26,27,29) amplifies the signal provided by the thermocouple, and applies a scale to the signal delivered by the ambient temperature sensor, by carrying out a summation process and linearization of the signal which results from the summation.

information at the time of login to a mobile terminal moving
in a first network and requesting connection to a server
located in a second network. The invention also makes
possible the automation of different functions between the
mobile terminal and a first network authentication server.

analyzes the information about network connections inserted
into the header of the message, which was sent
according to the messaging protocol used. The mobility-client
inserts information required in the message and
sends the message to the server, whereby login between
the mobility-client and the server is completed automatically
without involvement of the internet interface program.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an optimal transmission path in a data network, wherein the network subscribers (1-14) exchange data in a wireless manner, preferably by radio communication, along a plurality of transmission routes. A first subscriber of the transmission route transmits a search request which can be used as stations of transmission paths by subscribers (1-14) who receive said search request, measure the receiving field intensity, add an identifier to the search request and the measured receiving field intensity, whereupon the search request is subsequently transmitted. The network subscriber (1-14) who is the second subscriber of the transmission route measures the receiving field intensity of the search request and adds to the search request, that which out of all the received search requests contains the optimum transmission route in terms of number of stations and quality of the links between said stations. Said second subscriber of the transmission route transmits said search request thus determined. Each network subscriber (1-14), who receives said search request and whose identifier is contained in said search request stores the identifier registered in the search request prior to his or her identifier as an identifier of a subscriber whose signals are to be retransmitted and retransmits said search request.
