Patent EP-1319941-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KAIN ROBERT C
IPC: G01N21/01
Filed: 1998-01-29
Abstract: A sample substrate (51, Fig. 4A) for use in a fluorescence imaging system (Fig. I) includes a rigid base with a specularly reflective surface, typically metal, on which is deposited a transparent coating layer (53). The coating layer has a thickness selected so that a particular fluorescence excitation wavelength, corresponding to a specified fluorescent constituent to besought in sample material, has an optical path from the top of the coating layer to the reflecting surface in the base of substantially an odd multiple of one-quarter wavelength, so that the standing wave of the fluorescence excitation wavelength of light incident of the substrate has an antinode (61) located at or near where sample material would be disposed on top of the coating layer. This maximizes fluorescence excitation of the sample on the reflective substrate. The transparent coating layer may be a dielectric material (e.g. silica) or may be a multilayer structure with a top layer of biologically active material for binding a specified sample constituent.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting an inventory of
tags, wherein each tag (102) is assigned a Tag ID and a
manufacture number. Each tag can be attached to an item to
take inventory of those items. A tag reader (104) transmits a
wake-up signal followed by at least one clock signal. Each
tag increments a first tag count in response to the clock
signals, and transmits the Tag ID assigned to the tag when
the first tag count corresponds to the Tag ID assigned to
the tag records the transmitted Tag. When more than
one tag transmits simultaneously, the tag stores the Tag ID
in order to resolve the contention when the first read
cycle (202) is complete. In the second read cycle (206), the tag
reader transmits the contended Tag ID followed by at least
one clock signal. Each tag that contended for the
transmitted Tag ID increments a second tag count in
response to the clock signals, and transmits the
manufacturer number assigned to the tag when the second tag
count corresponds to the manufacturer number assigned to
the tag. The tag reader records transmitted Tag IDs,
completing the inventory of the tags.

Abstract: A user records a part of a piece of music performed on the composite audio system (MR) into and reproduces the performance from a floppy disc (FD) in ensemble with another part of the piece of music; while a compact disc player (AR) is producing an audio signal (AL1) from audio data codes, the composite audio system (MR) produces event codes (ED2) representative of local peaks in the audio signal (AL2) for timing control, and stores these event codes (ED2) together with event codes (ED1) representative of note events and duration data codes in the floppy disc (FD); while the composite audio system (MR) and compact disc player (AR) are reproducing the parts of the piece of music, the time intervals among the tones are prolonged and shrunk by using the event codes (ED2) for timing control and actual local peaks so that the tones in one of the parts are produced synchronously with the tones of the other part.

Abstract: A multicast scheme for scheduling a root flow in an
ATM environment. A buffer system including an index memory
is operable to contain a plurality of leaf flow index
values associated with the leaves and a root flow index
associated with the root flow from the ingress interface. A
pointer memory is provided wherein a plurality of
circularly-linked pointers are indexed from the leaf and
root flows. A cell memory is provided with a plurality of
cell memory locations to which the linked pointers point.
Root flow cells in the ATM environment are stored in the
cell memory locations based on the root flow index. When a
particular flow becomes eligible for scheduling, a copy of
a root cell is obtained for emission, the root cell being
located in a cell memory location that is pointed to by a
linked pointer, to which the particular leaf flow is
indexed.

Title: Hydraulischer Heber für eine Wasserüberlaufschwelle
Inventor: TREUT OTTO
IPC: E03F5/12
Filed: 2003-11-07
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wasserüberlaufanordnung mit einer
Überströmschwelle und einem Rechen. Hierbei ist vorgesehen, dass diese
in einem Heber angeordnet sind. 
     Ein erster wesentlicher Aspekt der Erfindung ist somit in der
Erkenntnis zu sehen, dass ein Rechen in einem Heber realisiert werden
kann, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass die Abwasserflüssigkeitssäule
im Heber abreißt oder der Fluidfluß durch den Heber wesentlich
beeinträchtigt wird. Die Anordnung von Rechen bzw. Sieb, das hier
gleichfalls als Rechen verstanden wird, und Überströmschwelle im Heber
hat zunächst zur Folge, dass die Gesamtanordnung wesentlich kleiner
gebildet werden kann. Bei der Neukonzeption von Anlagen sind so für
gleiche Wasserdurchlässe nur kleinere Querschnitte als bisher üblich
erforderlich, was die Anlagekosten aufgrund geringeren Schwellenläge
senkt bzw. überhaupt erst ermöglicht, an bestimmten, sinnvollen und
gewünschten Stellen Wasserbehandlungsanlagen zu bauen. 
     Die Anordnung hat darüber hinaus einen weiteren Vorteil dahingehend,
dass der Rechen bzw. das Sieb besser als vergleichbare herkömmlich
Rechenanlagen gegen Verschmutzung, Verzopfung und Zulagerung geschützt
ist.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a seamless steel tube, wherein a tubing
material for the seamless steel tube is produced by a hot working process
from a material having less workability, such as a high Cr - high Ni - high C
alloy steel including Cr at a content not less than 15 weight % and Ni at a
content not less than 20 weight % or a ferritic stainless steel including Cr at
a content not less than 16 weight %, and then cold drawn at a reduction rate
of not less than 15% and further cold rolled after applying an appropriate
heat treatment, so that a round or an inner grooved steel tube is obtained.
It is preferable that the hot extrusion process is employed for the hot
working process and a cold Pilger mill is employed for the cold rolling
process. In the cold rolling process, the crackings or damage resulting
from the reduced toughness of the tubing material as well as the breakage
of a mandrel in producing the round or the inner grooved tube can be
suppressed.
