Patent EP-1104958-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GROSBERG MARK
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2000-11-09
Abstract: A jitter buffer controller (110) allows the depth
of the jitter buffer (113) to be adjusted dynamically
according to the varying jitter of the current
sequence. The jitter buffer controller (110) maintains
a cache (109) of previous jitter values. This cache
contains exponentially averaged values that represent
the long-term behavior of specific destination's jitter
characteristics, i.e., a jitter characteristic memory.
These values are used to initialize the jitter buffer's
depth. The jitter cache (109) prevents the buffer's
depth from being initialized with an arbitrary value
that disregards the specific destination's jitter
characteristics.
Patent EP-1107223-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WALTON HARRY GARTH
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: A method of driving a display device makes use of the dynamic variation in the
brightness of a surface mode liquid crystal device cell having liquid crystal layer with a
non-zero twist angle. It has been found that when the applied voltage across such a cell
is decreased, the brightness does not increase smoothly to its new value, but instead
rises rapidly, reaches a non-equilibrium maximum value, and then slowly decays to the
equilibrium value. According to the present invention, the liquid crystal layer is
switched before the equilibrium value of the brightness has been reached, so as to make
use of the non-equilibrium increased brightness and so increase the brightness of the
display. 
     The present invention also provides a liquid crystal display device having means for
driving the liquid crystal layer so as to make use of the dynamic variation in the
brightness of the liquid crystal device.

IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: A method and system of detecting mass to charge ratio of ions. The method includes producing charged ions in a vacuum, accelerating the charged ions in an electric field into a free flight tube and detecting the charged ions at a detector associated with the free flight tube. A control system selects a bandwidth for filtering a signal produced by the detector and the signal produced by the detector is then filtered with a variable width digital filter based upon the selected bandwidth. The bandwidth for filtering the signal may be selected from a look-up table within the control system based upon the mass to charge ratio of an ion of interest. Alternatively, a peak bandwidth within the signal produced by the detector may be determined and the signal produced by the detector may then be filtered with the variable width digital filter based upon the determined peak bandwidth.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système sonore virtuel à plusieurs voies, destiné à améliorer la reproduction audio par conformation statique ou dynamique du traitement du signal à des caractéristiques et/ou agencements spécifiques de haut-parleur. Dans un aspect de l'invention, un ou plusieurs algorithmes de traitement dynamique de signaux entraînent au moins deux haut-parleurs et sont modifiés en réponse à des caractéristiques ou agencements physiques relatifs de ces haut-parleurs, des informations paramétriques destinées à ces algorithmes étant entrées, soit lors du réglage en usine, soit par un utilisateur, soit fournies automatiquement au processeur. Des exemples de telles différences relatives de haut-parleurs comprennent l'espacement ou l'alignement de ceux-ci, la conformité du haut-parleur ou de l'enceinte, et la configuration de l'enceinte. Un autre aspect consiste à modifier les algorithmes de traitement en réponse à des caractéristiques communes de haut-parleurs destinées à certaines conditions de signaux d'entrée. Un exemple de cet aspect consiste à modifier le traitement de signaux, afin d'améliorer la réponse des basses en fonction du contenu en basses des signaux qui sont présentés aux haut-parleurs et de la dimension de ces haut-parleurs, de même qu'en fonction de la position relative de ceux-ci.

Abstract: There are provided methods of handling stored electronic original objects that have been created by signing information objects by respective transfer agents, submitting signed information objects to a trusted custodial utility, validating the submitted signed information objects by at least testing the integrity of the contents of each signed information object and the validity of the signature of the respective transfer agent, and applying to each validated information object a date-time stamp and a digital signature and authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility. One method includes re-validating an electronic original object by verifying the digital signature of the trusted custodial utility applied to the object and applying to the re-validated object a current date-time stamp and a digital signature and current authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility. Other methods involve handling information objects that are transferable records according to specified business rules, which avoids problems that can arise if copies of the transferable records can be mistaken for originals.

Abstract: The present invention provides a toner for electrostatic
image development made of a polyester resin having a spherical
or generally spherical shape, which allows the use of a so-called
oilless fixation system capable of fixing, without
employing an anti-offset solution as a heat roller fixation
system, and which also provides a developed image having
excellent quality, and a method of producing the same. The
toner for electrostatic image development comprises at least a
binder resin and a colorant. The binder resin is made of a
polyester resin. The flow beginning temperature Tfb of the
toner, as measured by a constant load extrusion type capillary
rheometer, is 90°C or higher and 120°C or lower, the T1/2
temperature exceeds 120°C and is 160°C or lower, and the flow
ending temperature Tend is 130°C or higher and 170°C or lower.
Also the toner has a spherical or generally spherical shape
having an average roundness (the average value of roundness is
defined by (the perimeter of a circle having the same area as
that of a projected area of the particles)/(the perimeter of a
projected image of particles)) of 0.97 or more. The toner
having these properties can be preferably produced by phase
inversion at a low shear within a range of 0.2-5 m/second
employing an added alcohol solvent.
