Abstract: This concerns a method of using a camera imaging system (254) in a package vending machine (10) to identify packages (223) which have been stored in the vending machine. A plurality of at least one type of package, which is intended to be dispensed by the vending machine, is stored in a package storage area of the package vending machine. Each package includes at least one of a corresponding type of article therein, the package having a plurality of visual attributes, such that if the package is imaged from a plurality of different views, each image acquired from each of the plurality of different views may include a different one ctr more of the the plurality of visual attributes, where one or more of the visual attributes may be sufficient to identity the type of the package in the acquired image. When a user selection input of a desired type of package is received at the vending machine, at least a portion of a camera imaging system, of the vending machine, and a user selected package, arc brought into viewing proximity so that the camera imaging system can obtain a view of at least a portion of the package. The camera imaging system is operated so as to acquire an image of the package selected by the user before it is dispensed. One or more of the visual attributes that are captured in the image are analyzed, and, based on this analysis, the type of the package selected by the user is identified.

Abstract: A micromechanical reflection phase grating may be formed of spring-like ribbon reflectors that are secured to a transparent cover positioned over a substrate such as a silicon substrate. The ribbon reflectors are formed independently of the silicon substrate. If a defect occurs in the phase grating and particularly the ribbon reflectors, the top plate assembly can be reworked or discarded without sacrificing the relatively expensive silicon substrate.

Title: Joint metallique a ourlet d'arret forme a froid
Inventor: LOCKE EDWARD J
IPC: F16J15/08
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un joint métallique multicouche comportant une paire de couches extérieures actives séparées par une couche intermédiaire. Les couches extérieures comportent au moins une paire d'ouvertures alignées et des bourrelets d'étanchéité entourant les ouvertures, disposés selon un rayon supérieur à celui des ouvertures, constituant des surfaces d'étanchéité saillant sur les côtés opposés des couches actives, et présentant un espacement ou une épaisseur prédéterminés lorsque le joint n'est pas comprimé. La couche intermédiaire, qui dépasse radialement vers l'intérieur des ouvertures est terminée par un ourlet d'arrêt formé à froid d'une épaisseur supérieure à l'épaisseur combiné des couches actives et de la couche intermédiaire, mais inférieure à celle des bourrelets. Le formage à froid de l'ourlet se fait sous une force de compression dépassant celle nécessaire à la déformation des bourrelets au delà de leur limite élastique, ce qui évite de les endommager irrémédiablement. L'ourlet présente des surfaces opposées d'étanchéité qui lorsque le joint est comprimé entre deux éléments sert de joint primaire ou de pare feu protégeant les bourrelets de l'exposition directe à la chaleur de fluides traversant les ouvertures tels que les gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for a rights ticket system for increasing the security of access control to computer resources. According to the invention, in a safe environment, a person that is especially trustworthy produces for a computer a host card with identity information specific of said computer and a personalized set of data in the form of a signed ticket. Said ticket contains information on the rights of a user for at least one RTS computer or on resources of said RTS computer, but also identity information on the host card already produced for the RTS computer. In order to protect the tickets, a common secret information is established that is shared by the host card and the tickets allocated to said host card. After receipt, the user decrypts the signed ticket with the private key of his user card, and then verifies and it stores it in the user card. Access to an RTS computer is enabled only after a mutual authentication via the common secret information between the user card of the user and the host card of the respective computer.

Abstract: A pressure reducing valve (6) of an accumulation type
fuel injection system of a multi-cylinder diesel engine opens
during an engine starting operation or an idling operation
immediately following the engine starting operation for a
period corresponding to cooling water temperature or fuel
temperature. Thus, the fuel in a high-pressure fuel passage
leading from a fuel supply pump (3) to fuel injection valves
(2) through the common rail (1) is discharged into a fuel tank
(5). Accordingly, air entering the fuel supply pump (3) while
the engine is stopped is discharged to the fuel tank (5)
through fuel recirculating passages (13, 15, 16). As a result,
the air delivered from the fuel supply pump (3) to the
injector (2) is minimized and injection quantity control is
stabilized when the engine is started.
