Patent EP-1312412-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIROSE SHIGEYUKI
IPC: B01J37/03
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing a hydrogen-containing gas, which
comprises reacting methanol, steam and oxygen in the presence of (1) a catalyst
comprising platinum and zinc oxide, wherein the content of the platinum is in the
range of 5 to 50% by weight based on the total amount of the platinum and zinc
oxide, or (2) a catalyst comprising platinum , zinc oxide and chromium oxide,
wherein the atomic ratio of zinc to chromium (zinc/chromium) is in the range of 2 to
30, or (3) a catalyst comprising platinum, zinc oxide and at least one element
selected from the group consisting of lead, bismuth and indium. Each of the
catalysts has a high activity and is excellent in heat resistance and selectivity to
steam-reforming reaction, and accordingly is capable of efficiently producing a
reformed gas which is composed principally of hydrogen and is well suited for use in
a fuel cell and the like by means of auto thermal reaction reaction, while lowering
the concentration of carbon monoxide in a reformed hydrogen-containing gas.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fusion d'une pluralité d'objets graphiques se chevauchant mutuellement dans un système de traitement de documents numériques. Les objets graphiques sont disposés dans un empilement ordonné qui comprend au moins un objet statique et au moins un objet animé. Chaque objet présente au moins un paramètre de fusion associé (par exemple, la transparence). Ce procédé consiste à (a) fusionner le contenu des objets statiques pour former au moins un objet statique composite et à prendre en compte les paramètres de fusion respectifs des objets statiques, puis, (b) à fusionner le contenu de l'objet animé et les objets statiques et à prendre en compte les paramètres de fusion de l'objet animé. Les objets statiques composites formés à l'étape (a) peuvent être réutilisés, lorsque le contenu de l'objet animé change. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, à l'étape (a), le contenu de tous les objets statiques dans la pile est fusionné en un objet statique composite unique prenant en compte les paramètres de fusion de tous les objets de la pile. Un stencil de valeur de paramètre de fusion est créé pour chaque objet animé dans la pile prenant en compte des valeurs de paramètres de fusion de l'objet animé correspondant et de tous les objets au-dessus de l'objet animé correspondant de la pile. L'étape (b) consiste à fusionner le contenu de chaque objet animé avec l'objet statique composite sur la base du stencil correspondant.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une conception de dispositif absorbeur saturable à semi-conducteur à 'renforcement de faible champ d'intensité' (LFR). Selon cette conception, la structure est modifiée par rapport à la technique actuelle qui ne satisfait plus à la condition antirésonante mais à une condition résonante. En conséquence, la résistance du champ est sensiblement plus élevée dans la couche intercalaire, ce qui produit une fluence de saturation moindre et une plus grande profondeur de modulation. Toutefois, le champ dans la couche intercalaire reste inférieur par rapport au champ d'espace libre, ou n'est que modérément renforcé par rapport à ce dernier. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif absorbeur est un dispositif miroir à semi-conducteur absorbant à saturation. Contrairement aux dispositifs miroirs de la technique actuelle, une structure comprenant l'absorbeur, et placée sur un réflecteur de Bragg, répond essentiellement à une condition de résonance, c'est-à-dire, une onde électromagnétique stationnaire est présente dans la structure. En d'autres termes, la conception est telle que l'intensité du champ atteint un maximum local dans le voisinage de la surface du dispositif.

IPC: B65B57/20
Filed: 2002-10-15
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus of detecting unique items as they are inserted into a product packaging system that is easily adaptable to current product packaging and prize insertion systems. A number of different types of sensors may be used in conjunction with the insertion device to detect the unique prize before it is inserted into a product packaging system. The sensor used will vary depending on the particular application. Sensors that may be used include a capacitive proximity sensor, a thickness sensor, a reflectivity sensor, a transmissivity sensor, a stiffness sensor, a color sensor, or even an odor or chemical sensor. Ideally, the type sensor used will detect a feature of the unique item that is easily distinguishable from other items being inserted. Once the sensor detects the prize and generates a signal, this signal can be used to perform a variety of useful functions. In one embodiment of the invention, the signal is used to control a foreign matter detector (FMD) during the insertion of unique prizes that would ordinarily trigger the FMD. After detecting the unique prize, the controller for the insertion device shuts down the FMD for a pre-determined period of time to allow the unique prize to pass through without triggering the FMD. The controller may also increase a counter each time one of the unique prizes is detected to keep track of the number of unique prizes inserted. Once the unique prize passes through, the FMD is turned back on so that foreign objects may again be detected. The amount of time that the FMD is turned off is minimized.

Abstract: A unique sync mark is applied by an encoder to the beginning of each frame in a data
packet of a Windows Media™ Audio bitstream by a Microsoft® Windows Media™ Audio
(WMA) codec. The WMA decoder handles errors at the frame level for each data packet.
When a frame in a data packet of a WMA file is corrupted, the decoder can continue to
decode the next frame by searching for the next sync mark at the beginning of the next
frame. Accordingly, error propagation is confined to a single frame and the decoder can
simultaneously handle bit errors and packet erasures when decompressing a received audio
bitstream.
