Abstract: A gas detector comprises a laser transmitter (10), a laser receiver
(16), and a gas reference cell (26) formed of a sealed encircling wall defining an
interior volume. A liquid partially fills the gas reference cell, and a reference gas
dissolved in the liquid forms a vapor within the interior volume. At least a portion
of the sealed encircling wall is transparent to electromagnetic radiation emitted by
the laser transmitter to permit electromagnetic radiation to enter the gas reference
cell, traverse a path through the vapor and exit the gas reference cell. The laser
transmitter, laser receiver and gas reference cell are coupled together with light
guiding elements to form light paths that pass from the laser transmitter to the laser
receiver through the gas reference cell and from the laser transmitter to the laser
receiver through a target zone. A method of detecting a target gas comprises the
steps of directing laser light from the laser transmitter to the laser receiver through a
target zone and through the gas reference cell containing a sample of the target gas;
detecting light from the laser transmitter that has passed through the target zone and
light from the laser transmitter that has passed through the gas reference cell; and
analyzing the detected light for the presence of the target gas in the target zone.

Abstract: An interface (52) is provided between a satellite telephone system (4) and a
cellular telephone system (5) for allowing calls to a user's cellular telephone to be
diverted to a satellite telephone (25) when the user is unable to use his cellular
telephone, for example when on board an aeroplane (2) fitted with a satellite
telephone system (20). The user inserts a card (which may be the SIM of his mobile
phone, or a card compatible with existing satellite telephone equipment) into a
suitable reader in the satellite telephone (20), which causes the satellite ground
station's card verification system (42) to connect to a host cellular network (50). 
     The host cellular network has an interface unit (520 which emulates the
operation of a normal base station, so that the host cellular system (50) acts as if the
mobile user's terminal is roaming on the host network, but is currently "busy". The
interface (52) also resets the user's existing call diversion instructions so that when
the host cellular system (5) receives a busy tone from the base station emulator (52),
it routes calls to the directory number of the terminal (20).

Abstract: A keypad arrangement is used for providing electrical information to an electronic
device in response to a manual pressing action of a user. The keypad arrangement
comprises a number of depressable keys (803, 907) within a certain keypad area. It
comprises also an arrangement of essentially continuous conducting means (301,
302, 901, 902, 1401, 1402) next to the depressable keys. Connection creating means
(801, 908) are associated with each depressable key for providing, as a response to
the depression of a key, an electrical connection through said essentially continuous
conducting means. The electrical characteristics of the created electrical connection
uniquely identify the location of the depressed key in relation to said essentially
continuous conducting means.

Abstract: This invention provides an IC card processing apparatus (20) in
which a contact error does not occur in contact elements even
when a warped card is inserted, and the service life of the
contact of the contact elements can be prolonged. When an IC
card (1, 1') is inserted to the deep end, the distal end of a
second arm (42) of a pivot lever (40) abuts against the upper
surface of a contact element block (50), to regulate the
contact element block to swing about a fulcrum on a line almost
perpendicularly intersecting one surface of the contact element
block (50) and extending through almost the center of a contact
element group, or a support axis perpendicularly intersecting
this line, as the center. Therefore, the contact pressures
between the respective contact elements (51) of the contact
element block (50) and the respective contacts of the IC card
(1, 1') become almost equal to each other. Even when a warped
IC card (1, 1') is inserted, a contact error or localization in
contact wear do not occur, and the service life of the contacts
can be prolonged.

Abstract: An isolated and purified nucleic acid comprising a gene specifically expressed in hop lupulin glands. Hops are dioecious, and only female plants bear cones, the lupulin glands of which contain secondary metabolic products which provide bitterness and flavor to beer. These secondary metabolic products contain some pharmacologically effective compounds. In order to breed a more useful cultivar of hops by manipulating the constituent of such useful secondary metabolic products relying on genetic engineering techniques, this invention provides an isolated and purified nucleic acid comprising a gene specifically expressed in hop lupulin glands. By using this nucleic acid, it is possible to develop a novel method for breeding hops with transformation techniques and molecular selection techniques. Furthermore, the present invention also provides a nucleic acid comprising the regulatory region for specifically expressing genes in lupulin glands. This nucleic acid can be used also for hop breeding.

Abstract: On utilise le procédé à la mousse pour fabriquer des bandes continues non tissées à partir de cellulose ou de fibres synthétiques, l'un des composants de ces bandes continues étant un polymère superabsorbant (SAP). Pour minimiser l'absorption d'eau par le SAP, ce SAP peut être gelé (par exemple à environ -18 °C), et/ou transporté par de l'eau très froide (par exemple à 1 °C). Le SAP, ainsi qu'un support mousse ou liquide, est amené sous forme d'écoulement à faible débit dans un conduit transportant un écoulement à débit élevé d'une suspension dense de mousse renfermant des fibres, juste avant un élément foraminé. Un mélangeur mécanique peut être introduit dans le conduit pour mélanger le SAP à la suspension dense de mousse fibreuse. L'ajout de SAP au fluide de support se fait tout au plus dix secondes (de préférence, tout au plus cinq secondes) avant la mise en association fonctionnelle de la suspension dense de mousse fibreuse mélangée au SAP, et d'un ou de plusieurs éléments foraminés. La bande continue ainsi formée a un taux de siccité avant séchage d'au moins 20 % (habituellement entre environ 30 et 40 %).

Abstract: The waiting time required for a caller who calls a subscriber with several telephone numbers is optimized by means of a device and method for producing a telecommunication link between a caller (1) and a called subscriber (2) via at least one telecommunication network (3, 4; 13, 14, 15; 14, 15), whereby the called subscriber (2) can be reached on several numbers (5-8) that are stored by said telecommunication network. Successive attempts (5-8) are made to set up a communication link between the caller (1) and the called subscriber (2) via the stored telephone numbers (5-8), whereby said telephone numbers (5-8) are dialled until said communication link is established between the caller (1) and the called subscriber (2). When the telecommunication link is successfully established, the telephone number (5-8, 5-7, 6, 7, 6-8) on which the called subscriber (2) could be reached is stored by the telecommunication network. In the case of successive calls to the stored telephone numbers (5-8) of a called subscriber, the stored telephone number (5-8) on which said subscriber could reached when the last successful telecommunication link was established is dialled as a first (5-8) or second (6-8) telephone number.
