Title: Method for imaging discontinuities in seismic data
Inventor: WEST BRIAN P
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: Structural and stratigraphic discontinuities are identified in a 3-D volume of seismic data samples (101), by first selecting a plurality of directions (102) containing a primary direction and at least one secondary direction. Next, one-dimensional, two-trace first discontinuity values are calculated (103) along the primary direction for each seismic data sample in the 3D-data volume. Next, a series of sequentially less restrictive thresholds is defined (104), such that a significant portion, preferably at least approximately 10 %, of the first discontinuity values satisfy the first threshold. This significant portion of first discontinuity values is then stored (105) in an output discontinuity volume at the corresponding sample locations. Then a plurality of steps (106-112) are repeated for each remaining data sample until that sample has a value stored at the corresponding sample location in the output discontinuity volume.

Abstract: A grossing board for preparing gross tissue samples having relatively uniform thickness features one or more tissue-receiving depressions and one or more knife--guiding members. The bottom surface of a tissue-receiving depression is essentially parallel to the upper, cutting surface of the grossing board, and the knife-guiding members are configured to guide the pathologist's knife so as to ensure cuts that are parallel to the bottom surface of the tissue-receiving depression, thereby yielding gross tissue samples of desired reproducible, uniform thickness.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supporting a handover of a user equipment (15) from a first radio access network (11) to a second radio access network (13). In order to ensure the success of the handover, it is proposed that a core network stores at least for some user equipment (15) a list identifying all radio access networks, (11, 13) to which the respective user equipment (15) is allowed to be handed over. The core network can then transmit the information stored for a specific user equipment (15) to the first radio access network (11) (step c), so the first radio access network (11) can determine reliably before carrying out a handover by which other radio access network (13) a handover will be accepted. The invention equally relates to a core network, a network element of a core network and a network element of a radio access network that are designed for carrying out the proposed method.

Title: Fuel cell system with a gas-tight pressure container for use in submarines
Inventor: LERSCH JOSEF
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: A leak in a fuel cell module (1) can allow hydrogen (H2) and/or oxygen (O2) to escape from the fuel cell module (1), hereby creating a high risk of fire or  explosion. The invention addresses this problem by providing a fuel cell installation with a fuel cell module (1) that is enclosed in a gas-tight pressure container (3). Filling the pressure container (3) with a protective  gas ensures that if the fuel cell module (1) does leak, no operating gas can  escape from the module (1), protective gas entering the module (1) instead. A leak therefore no longer poses a risk. The leak can also be identified and located by a voltage drop in the cells affected by the leak.

Title: Method and mould for manufacturing a moulded article comprising at least an elastomeric polyurethane skin
Inventor: WILLEMS JAN
IPC: B29C44/58
Filed: 2001-09-25
Abstract: For manufacturing a moulded article comprising at least an elastomeric polyurethane skin (9) and optionally a structural backing layer (10) and an intermediate foam layer (12) a mould is used having at least a first mould part (1) comprising at least two mutually movable mould sections (2-4). The skin (9) is moulded with its front against a surface (7) of the first mould part (1) by applying at least one reactive polyurethane mixture to this mould surface. In order to prevent the seam between the mutually movable mould sections (2-4) of the first mould part to leave traces on the front of the moulded skin (9), the first mould part (1) further comprises a removable, flexible liner (6) which is positioned onto these mould sections to cover at least partially the seam therebetween. Since the first mould part (1) comprises mutually movable mould sections (2-4), the design freedom is increased and it is not required to transfer the skin to another mould for providing relatively rigid backing layers to the back of this skin.

Title: Lightfast limited replay disk and method of use

IPC: G11B7/24
Filed: 2001-12-11
Abstract: An optically readable media (10) has an information-encoding layer (16) and at least one color-forming layer (12) that embodies an optical readout-limiting mechanism. In a first embodiment the at least one color-forming layer contains an additive that does not interfere with the optical readability of hte media for a duration of a readout period. The additive, upon eyposure to a source of optical radiation that is suitable for reversing the color-forming layer from an optical radiaiton that is suitable for reversing the color-forming layer from an optical readout inhibiting state to an optical readout enabling state, undergoes a transformation that maintains the color-forming layer in the optical readout inhibiting state. More specifically, exposure to the source causes the color-forming layer to photobleach and athe additive to oxidize, where the oxidation of the additive permanently inhibits the optical readability of the media. The additive may be a leuco dye. In one embodiment the color-forming layer is comprised of 3-[2,3-bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)vinyl]-6-dimethylaminophthalide and the additive is comprised of benzoyl leucomethylene blue. In a further embodiment the additive is placed into a protective layer (18) that overlies the color-forming layer.

Abstract: A radar transducer has a planar array antenna mounted on a plate portion of a housing with the microwave transceiver mounted on the opposite side of the plate and carrying a PCB defining the processing section for supplying an output to a cable. The plate portion slides into a plastic receptacle defining the radome for the antenna with a potting compound sealing the open face of the receptacle.  The electrical processing section is shielded from extraneous electromagnetic waves without additional metallic shielding elements. The processor is programmable in response to signals received through the output cable so as to re-configure the program thereof so as to change the output to the output cable for different end use controllers and for compatibility with communications protocols. The processor is programmed to carry out a test of the operation of the transceiver and to provide a failure output signal to the cable in the event that the operation is found to be outside predetermined parameters.
