Abstract: "MéTODO E APARELHO PARA OBTER VARIABILIDADE DETAXA DE DADOS EM SISTEMAS DE COMUNICAçãO DEESPECTRO DIFUSO ORTOGONAL". é revelado um sistema decomunicação de CDMA <UM>caracterizado por<MV> ofereceruma série quase contínua de taxas de dados até uma taxamáxima. O sistema de comunicação de CDMA revelado aumenta avariabilidade de taxa de dados, sem perturbar a ortogonalidadeentre usuários. Um número aumentado de taxas de dados é obtidomediante multiplexação em tempo das taxas de dadosconseguíveis com sistemas de CDMA convencionais paraproporcionar taxas de dados adicionais para várias aplicações demultimídia. Se for designado a um usuário uma seq³ência decódigos ortogonais específicos, tal como uma seq³ência Walsh,que permite uma taxa de dados máxima nR, com sistemasconvencionais, o usuário pode obter taxas de dados desejadasadicionais de até a taxa máxima nR, mediante multiplexação emtempo do conjunto de códigos ortogonais específicos. Taxas debits desejadas são conseguíveis para aplicações exigindo taxas debits que não sejam um múltiplo de número inteiro das taxasprovidas pelas técnicas convencionais. Uma taxa fundamental deR ou taxas de "tubo gordo" de múltiplos de segunda potência dataxa fundamental podem ser conseguidas de uma maneiraconvencional. Uma taxa desejada até a taxa máxima de "tubogordo" é conseguida mediante multiplexação em tempo doscódigos W~ k~^ n^ para obter taxas entre R e nR, onde W~ k~^n^, denota o primeiro nth do código W~ k~ de espectro difuso. Otransmissor da presente invenção obtém uma conversão de taxapara equiparar a palavra de código apropriada com a taxa dedados apropriada, mediante emprego de separação ere-sincronização dos dados, com multiplexação em tempo doscódigos Walsh ortogonais correspondendo às taxas inferior esuperior disponíveis. A conversão de taxa deve ser sincronizadacom a seleção do código Walsh ortogonal (correspondendo àstaxas inferior e superior).

Title: Amino acid esters
Inventor: EMIL TASZNER
IPC: C07K1/08
Filed: 1967-09-13
Abstract: (A) (B) (I) + H2NR" R-CO-NH-R"+R-CO-NH-OH R = aryl R' = N-protected amino acid or peptide R' = aliphatic or amino acid derivs. The esters formed are optically active and may be used for the direct prepn. of the amide- or peptide bonding without isolation of the active hydroxamic esters and without loss of configuration. The new method gives active esters which retain their configuration. The catalysis B gives better yields and products with greater purity. The active esters are formed by reacting acid chlorides, opt. symmetrical anhydrides or acid activated with dicyclohexyldiimide, with hydroxamic acid or a salt. The esters are obtained by the reaction of hydroxamic acid chlorides with tert.

Inventor: DIPL-PHYS SCHILLER SIEGFRIED D
IPC: C23C14/24
Filed: 1967-11-08
Abstract: Vapour deposition of films on large moving areas is effected in vacuum by evaporation of wire which is being fed on to a direct resistance induction or electron bombardment heated evaporating surface, the wire being bed at a uniform or variable speed vertically or vertically and parallel relative to the movement of the workpiece material. The method permits an increase in the rate of evaporation from evaporating surfaces and adjusts it such that evaporation takes place at different rates over the surface.

Title: POS terminal with ability to display customer orders from memory
Inventor: YOSHINAGA SHINICHI
IPC: G07F7/00
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A panel displaying method for an order receiving POS (Point-Of-sales) terminal, wherein the POS terminal includes a display unit that displays a touch panel providing a plurality of keys operated when an order for an article from a customer is received. The method displays a touch panel having a memory key, for temporarily holding order information before completion of a trade with the customer into a memory, and a memory calling key for displaying the order information before the completion of a trade stored in the memory, on the display unit. A screen to register an article is displayed on the display unit when the order information shows that a customer's payment has been completed, and a screen for the payment is displayed on the display unit when the order information shows that a customer's payment has not been completed, when the order information before completion of the trade is read out by operating the memory calling key. Thus, even after or before payment, the operator can quickly switch to another customer or process, if necessary, by displaying and operating a memory key and a memory calling key, without losing track of the existing order.

Title: Capsules
Inventor: DRAISEY ALLAN
IPC: B29C69/02
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: Capsules, for example for the delivery of pharmaceuticals, are produced from two films of a water-soluble polymeric material, by deforming the films to form a multiplicity of recesses, and filling the recesses with a flowable filling material. The films are then welded together by dielectric welding to form filled capsules, which are cut or punched out of the welded film.

Title: Selective updating of an index of webpages by a search engine
Inventor: ADAMS BARRY DAVID OTTLEY
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: To save on computational resources, a search engine is configured to perform selective updating of its index rather than full indexing. Selective updating operates on a previous index, by classifying the indexed pages as leaf and branch pages. Branch pages are those which include links to other pages deeper in the website, while leaf pages do not include such links. The selective updating procedure updates branch pages and new leaf pages more regularly than existing leaf pages.
