Abstract: A code read apparatus optically reads, by manual scanning, a two-dimensional code recorded on a recording medium. The code comprises a plurality of blocks having dot patterns arranged in accordance with multimedia information. An area sensor (20A) of an imaging section (20) of the code read apparatus outputs an image signal in accordance with a clock signal (CLK1) generated by a clock generator (40). The area sensor (20A) is constructed and the clock signal (CLK1) is determined such that a maximum scan speed V of 160 mm/s to 200 mm/s, at which the code can be read at the time of manual scanning, is achieved, the maximum scan speed being given by <MATH>     where   m = the number of blocks in one imaging screen in the scan direction,      l m = the length of one block in the scan direction, and   t = the imaging cycle.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The channel has a lower part (2) with free ends (223,233) which are bent inwards with a predetermined radius. It also has a covering part (3) with semicircular arms (32,33) at corresponding distances from its inner wall (31), and which have a shape which is matched to this radius. Th arms grip around the outside of the free ends, and are overlapped by tips (34,35) on the covering part. The free ends may project from regions (222,232) of the side walls of the lower part, which are normal to the covering part. Engagement openings (6,7) for the arms may be formed between these regions and the cornered wall (4) of a building.

Abstract: Admission device for admitting data cells to a transmission medium. The VC code of an arriving data cell is read out. A count value, which is a measure for the load of data cells with that VC code, is compared with a threshold, after which an admission code is issued, the value of which depends on the result of the comparison. There is not used a single, but a plural threshold. The threshold value is selected by a sort code which is either derived from the arriving data cell, or has an external origin, e.g., a network-control system or network monitoring system located outside the admission device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making smart cards by rolling. A first synthetic sheet (1) is first smoothed by hot pressing against a first smoothing plate (4). Likewise a second synthetic sheet (2) is smoothed against a second smoothing plate (5). Without being unstuck from their smoothing plates, these two sheets are rolled with other layers (3, 6, 7), said synthetic sheets (1, 2) serving as external layers. One of the smoothing plates may comprise a three-dimensional pattern to be relief printed on the synthetic sheet. The rolling is carried out by cold pressing the different layers (1, 6, 3, 7, 2) which the laminated card comprises between the two smoothing plates (4, 5). After being rolled, different cards with adapted dimensions can be cut out from the laminated sheets. The invention is advantageous in that the same plates (4, 5) are used for the hot pressing and the cold rolling. The external surface of the synthetic sheets (1, 2) thus remains protected between these two operations and the cards have better inherent flatness.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for solubilizing boric acid to produce liquid, boron-containing solutions. In these methods, boric acid is added to a previously formed solution of a metal ion and ligand. The ligand must be capable of both complexing the metal ion and simultaneously coordinating or hydrogen bonding with the boric acid. Preferred metal ions are the transition metals. Preferred ligands are the alkanolamines, polyamines, dialkylaminoalkylamines and alkyldiaminecarboxylic acids and salts thereof. Using the methods of the present invention, stable, clear solutions, preferrably aqueous solutions, containing about 9-11 percent-by-weight or more boron are readily prepared.

Abstract: A method of making vapor deposited thin films by rotating a substrate in the presence of an obliquely incident vapor flux. The substrate may be rotated about an axis normal to the surface of the substrate and/or parallel to the surface of the substrate by two motors mounted with their axes orthogonal to each other. A cap is formed on the thin film, for example by increasing the diffusion length of the material being deposited or by rotating the substrate about a plane parallel to the substrate (equivalent to changing the angle of incidence of the vapor flux). Feedback from a deposition rate monitor allows control of rotation speed of both motors to produce a growth with a defined pattern.

Abstract: The invention is a process for desalting aqueous solutions, which are initially acidified to a pH of about 3 or less. Then, the acidified solution is fed into a desalting compartment of an electrodeionization cell which contains a suitable ion exchange material and is isolated from an adjacent concentrating compartments by an anion and a cation exchange membrane. The concentrate compartment contains a netting or another suitable material that promotes turbulence in a flowing feed stream. Water is supplied to the concentrate compartment. A DC current passes through the electrodeionization cell to produce a substantial desalination of the feed solution. A less acidic desalted solution and a concentrate waste solution are withdrawn from the electrodeionization cell.
