Patent EP-1146012-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NISHII SHIGEKI
IPC: A62B21/00
Filed: 1996-04-09
Abstract: A metallic tubular housing (40) contains cylindrical thermal insulation (36), a candle holder (38) for an oxygen-generating candle (32) and a candle support (52). A corrosion, reaction and heat resistant first support means (38', 38", 138) to said oxygen generating candle (32) is cup-shaped, its bottom being on the side of ignition means (F',F") of the apparatus covers all of said oxygen generating candle (32) through the cylindrical thermal insulation (36). An annular airtight space (39', 39'', 139) for the oxygen generating candle (32) is formed between the first support means (38', 38", 138) and the tubular housing (40). Oxygen generated by thermal decomposition of the candle (32), following triggering of the ignition device (F'), passes through the cylindrical thermal insulation (36) and an annular gap between the cylindrical thermal insulation (36) and the cylindrical member (37), and is supplied to the outside through an oxygen-supply device (S'). Thorough decomposition of the candle (32) can be achieved, as can a predetermined quantity or flow rate pattern of the oxygen, lowering the temperature of the housing (40) throughout its length.

Abstract: Light emitting devices with improved light extraction efficiency are provided.
The light emitting devices have a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising
an active region. The stack is bonded to a transparent optical element having a refractive
index for light emitted by the active region preferably greater than about 1.5, more preferably
greater than about 1.8. A method of bonding a transparent optical element (e.g., a lens or an
optical concentrator) to a light emitting device comprising an active region includes elevating
a temperature of the optical element and the stack and applying a pressure to press the optical
element and the light emitting device together. A block of optical element material may be
bonded to the light emitting device and then shaped into an optical element. Bonding a high
refractive index optical element to a light emitting device improves the light extraction
efficiency of the light emitting device by reducing loss due to total internal reflection.
Advantageously, this improvement can be achieved without the use of an encapsulant.

Abstract: Even in case of using a hand-held personal
computer, operability regarding a printing operation is
improved and a print can be normally completed without
allowing the print to be finished as an error. When a
sufficient available area exists in an RAM 11 of a
hand-held personal computer 1, image data sent from an
application is converted into print data and,
thereafter, the print data is temporarily stored as a
spool file into the RAM 11. At the point when the
whole print data is stored and the spool file is
completed, a printing process in the application is
released and the print data in the spool file is sent
to a printer 5 by a background. If the sufficient
available area does not exist in the RAM 11 of the
hand-held PC 1, the whole print data is not temporarily
stored as a spool file but the raster unit image data
sent from the application is converted into the print
data. The print data is sequentially sent to the
printer 5 by the foreground and the printing process is
executed.

Patent EP-1209865-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLMANT MICHEL
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to switching in electronic networks. Many data transmission
protocols and technologies used in such networks, such as TCP/IP and Ethernet, use
variable-length packets for transmission. Often however, the nodes that make up these networks
typically contain high-speed cell switches that only support fixed-size data units. To support
variable-length packets in such a fixed-size cell switch non-interleaving switching and
transmission must be offered. The present invention provides such a solution in essence by
segmenting a variable-length frame into a plurality of fixed-length cells including a
start-of-frame cell, one or more continuation cell(s), and an end-of-frame cell and routes said
fixed-length cells through said switch, thereby providing, at an output of said switch, subsequent
and deadlock-free transmission of consecutive cells of a certain frame, and block any cell of a
different frame from interleaving. This leads to better average delay characteristics and removes
the need for packet reassembly.

Abstract: Chimeric flaviviruses that are avirulent and immunogenic are provided. The chimeric viruses are constructed to contain amino acid mutations in the nonstructural proteins of a flavivirus. Chimeric viruses containing the attenuation-mutated nonstructural genes of the virus are used as a backbone into which the structural protein genes of a second flavivirus strain are inserted. These chimeric viruses elicit pronounced immunogenicity yet lack the accompanying clinical symptoms of viral disease. The attenuated chimeric viruses are effective as immunogens or vaccines and may be combined in a pharmaceutical composition to confer simultaneous immunity against several strains of pathogenic flaviviruses.
