Patent EP-1035515-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SASONE RONALD P
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A method of verifying the validity of a postal stamp to determine
whether the stamp is produced legitimately and whether it has been canceled
in a previous use. The method includes the steps of producing a special
code on the stamp of interest and creating a record relating to the special
code in a database. When the mailpiece collected by a post office has a
stamp bearing a special code, the special code is reported to the database for
verification. If the records in the database indicate that the reported special
code does exist, then the stamp is considered legitimate. The mailpiece is
accepted and the stamp is canceled before delivery, and a request is sent to
the database to effect the alteration of the record relating to the "canceled"
special code. An altered record will no longer provide a proof of validity if the
database is later consulted with respect to the specific special code.

Abstract: Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Wiedergabegerät mit einem einstellbaren
Bildseitenverhältnis für die Wiedergabe von Fernseh- und/oder Videosignalen,
die unterschiedliche Bildseitenverhältnisse aufweisen. 
     Bekannte Einstellmöglichkeiten für das Bildseitenverhältnis weisen einerseits den
Nachteil auf, daß die angebotenen Bildseitenverhältnisse fest vorgegeben sind,
wodurch nicht immer eine optimale Anpassung des angebotenen Videosignals an
das Bildseitenverhältnis der Anzeige des Wiedergabegeräts erreicht werden
kann. 
     Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen mit einer Anzeige, einer Bildsignalaufbereitung und
einer Bedieneinrichtung, die auf die Bildsignalaufbereitung einwirkt, um ein
Wiedergabebildseitenverhältnis bei der Wiedergabe von Fernseh- und/oder
Videosignalen mit unterschiedlichen Bildseitenverhältnissen einzustellen, werden
die bekannten Nachteile dadurch vermieden, daß die Bedieneinrichtung
Bedienelemente aufweist, die eine Veränderung des Bildseitenverhältnisses für
das wiedergegebene Fernseh- und/oder Videosignal voneinander unabhängig in
vertikaler und horizontaler Richtung ermöglichen.

Abstract: The tire tread profile, for a pneumatic vehicle tire, has a positive profile with at least one center profile section (10) at the running profile (11), with a cut-in pattern resembling the blossom leaves of a bud. At least two layers of profile elements (11) are around the center profile element (10), as bud blossom leaves, and especially up to five layers. One of the layers of profiles (11) is formed at least partially between a surrounding and closed cut-in section (2c) and side edges of the positive profile (1), and the further layers are between two surrounding closed cut-in sections (2a-2c). At least in one layer, the profiles (11) are separated from each other by connecting bridges. At least two profiles (11) are in each layer, and all the layers have a matching number of profiles (11). The profiles (11) within a layer are separated from each other by connecting cuts (3a,3c). The connecting cuts (3a,3c) and bridges, are offset from each other in adjacent layers. The profiles (11) within a layer have matching shapes and dimensions. The cuts (2a-2c) around the profiles (11) at least partially match the outer shape of the positive profile (1). The profile blocks (1) have a parallelogram shape and, within a layer, each have a pair of generally L-shaped or U-shaped profiles (11).

Abstract: The present invention relates to polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer
particles which exhibit slow-release properties and to a process for their
production. The process comprises applying an isocyanate-reactive
component to fertilizer particles, to form fertilizer particles coated with an
isocyanate-reactive component, applying a polyisocyanate component
onto the coated fertilizer particles to form polyurethane encapsulated
fertilizer particles, and, optionally, repeating these steps as many times as
necessary to form the polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles that
contain about 2 to 20% by weight of polyurethane, based on the total
weight of the encapsulated fertilizer particles. Suitable isocyanate-reactive
components include polyesterether polyols that comprise either a blend of
or the reaction product of (i) castor oil having an OH number of about 160
to about 170, a viscosity of about 500 to about 900 mPa·s at 25°C, and a
water content of less than 0.5% by weight; and (ii) a polyether polyol
having an OH number of from 28 to 700, a functionality of from 3 to 8, and
a molecular weight of about 240 to about 6,000, and a viscosity of from
about 50 to 35,000 mPa·s at 25°C. The polyether polyol must be prepared
from a suitable initiator compound and an alkylene oxide comprising at
least 70% by weight of propylene oxide.

determining device (MD) determines whether a supplementary display
is necessary or not in accordance with the specified display
range. A setting device divides the display area into a main
display area and an auxiliary display area when the
supplementary display is necessary. A display device
