Abstract: Une aide visuelle et/ou acoustique pour usage personnel est constituée d'un dispositif de déclenchement (1, 12, 18) pouvant être actionné par le biais de signaux émis par une unité de commande (10, 13, 20). Une fois activé, ce dispositif de déclenchement renvoie des signaux de déclenchement à l'unité de commande qui peut actionner un dispositif de transmission de message capable d'émettre un signal acoustique/visuel et/ou un signal de déclenchement et/ou un message d'information. Le dispositif selon l'invention se révèle des plus utile pour des personnes handicapées reliées aux commandes de feux de signalisation, par exemple. Grâce au dispositif de déclenchement et à l'unité de commande, un aveugle peut envoyer un signal sonore pour la traversée d'une voie. Le dispositif selon l'invention a d'autres utilisations au nombre desquelles on peut mentionner l'ouverture de portes, telles que des portes de toilettes pour handicapés ou des portes coulissantes de cabines publiques et privées, la mise en marche et/ou l'arrêt de différents dispositifs automatiques, etc.

Abstract: An article (12), especially when in sheet form such as a document and which carries insignia like letters and numerals on a first side, is rendered tamperproof by adhering a transmissive (16), e.g. transparent layer to the first side of the article over the insignia (14), and severing the article from a second side opposed to the first side, e.g. by means of cuts, which do not penetrate through the transmissive layer (16). A second layer (18) can be adhered to the second side and the layered article can be severed also from the first side, e.g. by means of cuts which do not coincide with the cuts from the second side and which do not penetrate through the transmissive layer (16). The portions of the article carrying the insignia (14) are held in their original orientations and positions by the intact portions of respectively the transmissive layer (16) and the second layer (18). If the insignia are accessed, e.g. to alter the insignia, the portions carrying the insignia (14) are no longer held in place, which is readily detectable.

optical super-resolution method so as to increase the
recording capacity. The magneto-optical disk has a
heat radiating layer (6) on a recording layer (4), and
preferably an intermediate layer (8) between a
reproduction layer (3) and the recording layer (4).
The recording/reproducing apparatus is provided

laser beam and applying them to the magneto-optical
disk, and preferably a plane-of-polarization rotating
unit (50) and a polarization filter (51) for
interrupting only the central portion of the laser
beam during the reproduction. The heat generated by
the laser beam is dissipated through the heat
radiating layer (6), and the laser beam is
intermittently applied, so that the recording domain
decreases. Since the central portion of the laser beam
is interrupted, the laser beam forms a small main
lobe due to diffraction.
