Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'accès formé par couplage d'un système de boucle locale sans fil (WLL) avec un système de boucle multiplex numérique (DLC). Ce couplage est tel que le système DLC supporte le système WLL, et il s'effectue par l'installation d'une unité à distance destinée au système DLC et comprenant des cartes de support de transmissions vocales/de données vers/à partir de clients 'câblés' généralement déjà raccordés au système DLC, ainsi que des cartes -selon l'invention- de support de transmissions vocales/de données vers/à partir de clients 'sans fil' raccordés au système WLL. Grâce à l'établissement de ce couplage au moyen du dispositif et des procédés de l'invention, on élimine le besoin d'une installation et d'une maintenance fournisseur de service des systèmes séparés WLL et DLC, les clients du système WLL, du fait qu'ils sont couplés au système DLC, peuvent maintenant recevoir les services supplémentaires qui n'étaient disponibles que sur le système DLC, et le système WLL -limité par le fait qu'il ne peut être installé plus loin du central téléphonique- peut, grâce au système DLC, atteindre plus de clients.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of rapidly screening ligands on the basis of their binding affinity and binding enthalpy by carrying out binding assays at a minimum of two temperatures. This technique permits the selection for further optimization of lead ligands that bind to the target molecules with favorable enthalpies. Those ligands will exhibit higher solubilities in aqueous solution than ligands selected by conventional means, and may exhibit lower susceptibilities to resistant mutations. The method may be utilized as a standalone technique, or may be adapted to, for example, known high throughput screening technologies. The present invention further comprises an apparatus for carrying out the described methods.

Abstract: A method to reduce the amount of bandwidth used in the
transmission of digitized voice packets is described. The
method is used to reduce the number of transmitted packets
by suspending transmission during periods of silence or when
only noise is present. The system determines if a
background noise update is warranted based on human auditory
perception factors instead of an artificial limiter on
excessive silence insertion descriptor packets. The system
searches for characteristics in the perceptual changes of
background noise instead of analyzing speech for improved
audio compression. The invention weighs factors affecting
the perception of sound including frequency masking,
temporal masking, loudness perception based on tone, and
auditory perception differential based on tone.

Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle of the present invention, an engine
EG is subjected to feedback control to attain a target revolving
speed NE*. In the case of malfunction of an inverter P1 for a
generator GN, operation of the inverter P1 is stopped. When the
generator GN is driven to rotate at a predetermined rotational
speed, a counter electromotive force arises in a multiphase phase
coil of the generator GN. When a motor MG is connected to the
generator GN as a loading, electric current runs via a protection
diode of the inverter P1 to implement power generation by the
generator GN. The electric power generated by the generator GN
is directly consumed by the motor MG. This arrangement enables
the quantity of power generation to balance the quantity of
consumption. Here the revolving speed of the engine EG is varied
according to the loading applied to the vehicle. The arrangement
of the present invention thus enables the amount of electric power
generated by one of the generator GN and the motor MG to balance
the amount of electric power consumed by the other of the generator
GN and the motor MG, thus attaining a drive of the hybrid vehicle
without using a secondary battery.

Abstract: An acoustic medium for temporary acoustic treatment of a room is formed from one or
more continuous curtains, preferably, with pleated first and second major surfaces. Each
pleated curtain preferably has one or more series of collapsible elongated tubular sections
which form the pleats that make up the major surfaces of the curtain. Since the elongated
tubular sections are collapsible, the curtain can be retracted by collapsing the elongated
tubular sections and extended by opening the elongated tubular sections. The mat materials
forming the elongated tubular sections and the pleated major surfaces of the curtain provide
the curtain with an airflow resistance through the curtain, in a direction generally perpendicular
to the planes containing the apexes of the pleats forming the first and second major surfaces
of the curtain, that has the desired properties for absorbing or reflecting sound.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of optical data
transmission whereby digital information data and its
associated error control data may be transmitted via an
optical transmission line without requiring an increase in the
transmission bit rate of the information data. It will be
clear that this may be achieved, according to the present
invention, by obviating the need to transmit information data
and its associated error control data together via the same
WDM transmission channel. That is to say, a subset of one or
more WDM transmission channels is used in transmitting data of
the first type, but not simultaneously used in transmitting
data of the second type. The data of the second type is
transmitted via a different subset of one or more other WDM
transmission channels. 
     In this way, the present invention aims to mitigate the
aforementioned penalties associated with increasing the bit
rate on an optical transmission channel in order to
accommodate redundant bits associated with bit error control.
In particular, by transmitting channel-encoded data employing
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) the present invention
provides a method whereby one subset of the WDM channels of an
optical transmission line is employed for the transmission of
data including information data ('information channels') but
excluding error data, and another separate subset is employed
for the transmission of the error control data ('error
channels') associated with aforementioned information data
(e.g. check bits, bytes or symbols in the case of e.g. RS
codes).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a color-texture distance and a method
and apparatus for sectioning an image into a plurality of regions using the measured
color-texture distance are provided. The method of measuring a color-texture
distance includes the steps of: assigning different degrees of importance to a
brightness difference, a saturation difference, and a hue difference between two
points in a color feature space constituted of color feature values of pixels in an
image, and adding the brightness difference, the saturation difference, and the hue
difference in proportion to the assigned degrees of importance to calculate a color
distance between the two points; obtaining a texture distance between the two points
using a difference between texture feature values of the two points and weighting
coefficients applied to multi scales of a texture, in a texture feature space constituted
of texture feature values for the pixels; and multiplying a color weight value and a
texture weight value by the color distance and the texture distance, respectively,
adding the multiplication results to each other, and obtaining the color-texture
distance between the two points. The degrees of importance are determined on the
basis that a hue is more important than a brightness or a saturation, a color becomes
black as the brightness approaches an absolute value, and the hue has an arbitrary
value as the saturation approaches the absolute value.

Abstract: [00195]  In a Bluetooth controller, the microprocessor is relieved of the duty to
perform operations at time critical points in relation to Bluetooth transmission and
receive time slots by using a hardware circuit that stores data from a number of
Bluetooth SCO/ACL data packets received into a storage or forms such packets by
retrieving data from the storage in a timely manner according to predetermined time
slots without assistance from the microprocessor at time critical points. The hardware
circuit also handles time critical information in relation to FHS data packets so that
the microprocessor is also relieved of the duty to perform such time critical tasks.
The number of buffers used to support data communication can be reduced by
checking the expiration times of the buffer when the buffer is assigned to support a
Bluetooth data connection. Then, when the connection experiences difficulties, the
buffer will be released upon expiration timeout. To allow both a hardware circuit and
a microprocessor to access the same buffer without conflict, an arbitration device or
process may be employed. To allow more efficient use of bandwidth, connections
with other Bluetooth devices that are used to transfer efficient data are given higher
priority than other connections that do not.

Abstract: The method is used to monitor the functioning of an electric driver having a rectifier and coupled to an ac network. Each rectifier (1) has a signal current control unit (6) and is coupled to a central receiver unit. For each rectifier (1), within a predetermined time period, a signal stream identifying the rectifier (1) is superimposed on the ac current fed into the network (5), in dependence on the control unit. The receiver filters the streams from the ac current and checks whether a signal stream has been received from the respective rectifiers in the time period. The receiver displays a probable fault in one of the rectifiers if no signal has been received in the time. Independent claims also cover an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A coin (1) with a metal surface (2, 3) has macroscopic reliefs (5) which serve for visually specifying the value of the coin and as an authenticity feature. Microscopically fine relief structures (8) with a diffraction effect are formed directly in at least one of the surfaces (2, 3). The relief structures (8) are preferably arranged in a recessed relationship and are covered with a lacquer (9). It is also advantageous if at least a part of the relief structures (8) entails an asymmetrical profile shape and/or the grating vectors in a radial orientation. The release structures (8) may also include a machine-readable coding which is recognized by inexpensive optical reading devices for installation in coin testers.The application of the microscopic relief structure (8) to a hard material surface (2, 3) can be effected by the removal of material by means of exposure of the material surface (2, 3) with a laser beam. In that operation the laser beam passes through a mask for determining the form of the relief structures (8) and then an optical image-forming system for reduction purposes. The exposure procedure can also be implemented in accordance with the dual beam interference method. In a further method the microscopic relief structures (8) are etched into the material surface (2, 3).

Abstract: Disclosed is a communications network element that is capable of routing signaling messages and also performing inter-network management functions in a converged telephony-data network environment. A signaling gateway routing node is adapted to facilitate signaling communication between nodes in a signaling system 7 network and nodes in an Internet protocol (IP) type network. In addition to basic message routing functionality, the signaling gateway routing node is adapted to notify nodes in the IP network when a node in the SS7 network becomes congested or unavailable. In certain cases, the signaling gateway selectively notifies only IP nodes that are concerned with the status of the troubled SS7 node, while in other cases, notification messages are broadcast to all relevant IP nodes. The signaling gateway also serves to filter redundant congestion status queries or polling type messages that are conveyed from IP nodes through to the distressed SS7 node.
