Patent EP-1067758-A3 (EP)
Inventor: GATTO JEAN-MARIE
IPC: H04N1/12
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: A document-guiding device that clips onto the image sensor of a document scanner
ensures that documents to be scanned are introduced into the scanner at an optimal angle and
are applied to the transparent surface of the image sensor at an optimal pressure, thereby
avoiding scratching and soiling the sensor glass surface. Moreover, the deep input guide clip
includes a sharp edge that acts as a scrapper to remove or flatten protruding impurities to
further reduce soiling the sensor transparent surface. The deep input guide clip has the added
benefit of stopping parasitic ambient light and protecting the image sensor against hard
falling objects thus avoiding breakage of the transparent surface. The deep input guide clip
forms a compact enclosure that may also hold a set of document proximity sensors and
associated control electronics for precisely detecting the leading edge of the document when
it is introduced in the scanner, its width and its trailing edge.

Abstract: Male and female connector housings 10 and 20 are latched in a fitted state by a locking
arm 40 engaging with a stopping member 16. An upper face of an operating member
44 at a posterior end of the locking arm 40 forms an inclined face 50, this face 50 being
inclined gradually downwards towards the anterior. An anterior end of the inclined face
50 rises abruptly upwards, forming a counteracting wall 51. In the case where the two
housings 10 and 20 are to be separated, a finger F presses the operating member 44,
causing the locking arm 40 to incline and release the lock. The upper face of the
operating member 44 is concave, with the contacting wall 51 at its anterior end.
Consequently, the location for placing the finger F during the pressing operation is
clearly defined, and the finger is prevented from sliding forwards during the pressing
operation. As a result, the pressing operation of the operating member 44, that is, the
lock-releasing operation, can be performed smoothly.

Abstract: A glass-breaking device/Axe comprising a handle 9, integral glass shield 4, a part
radial blade containing a number of formed and raised angular projections 2 together
with formed part radial weights 3 to be attached therein if so desired. A "transfer" for
use with the said device 12/13. 
     The blade being used for striking the glass at a variety of angles fig 9/10/11. The part
radial blade 2 protrudes away from the integral body of the device 4 of a distance
relative to the striking angle fig 9/10/11 to enable contact to be made with the glass 10
prior to contact with the device body 4. After such contact and the breaking of the
glass the additional width of the device body 4, act as a secondary device for
removing/pushing the said glass 10 away once broken. 
     The device has been so designed as to allow additional weights 3 and blades 2 of
varying thickness and shape and of varying depth to be utilized if so desired. The
device allows for its use in both lateral and longitudinal plains relative to the face of
the glass. 
     The device being constructed of a suitable material as to allow the device to break
single or multiple glass panes 10 of similar or varying thickness without loss of
integrity. 
     The device being so designed, as to be deemed suitable for use by a person such as a
child or adult. Operational use is in all planes and usable in both left and right handed
directions relative to the user. 
     Toughened glass requires the user of glass breaking devices to strike the glass 10 in
certain areas for maximum effect, namely the extreme edges and corners (this forming
the weakest point at which the glass breaks easily). 
     Suitably sized "transfer(s)" fig 12/13, with appropriate means of attachment to the
glass (glue or similar compound) with information (such as an arrow) is contained
therein for the position on which the glass should be struck by the user, when the
device herein or similar devices are to be used.

Abstract: A mechanism for merging multiple source policies to derive a resultant policy
is disclosed. The source policies, which may represent sets of laws/regulations, and
which may comprise zero or more entries with each entry comprising an identifier and
a set of one or more limitations, are merged by first selecting a current entry in a first
source policy. Then a determination is made as to whether there is an entry in a
second source policy which corresponds to the current entry. If so, then the
limitations in the current entry are processed with the limitations in the corresponding
entry to derive a set of resultant limitations. The limitations are processed such that
the resultant limitations comprise the most restrictive limitations of the current entry
and the corresponding entry. By doing so, it is ensured that the resultant limitations
comply with both the first and the second source policies. Once the resultant
limitations are derived, a new entry is created in the resultant policy which comprises
the resultant limitations. The resultant policy is thus populated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus reduce bandwidth usage in an ATM
switching network (14) by controlling bandwidth used for IP
multicasting through the switching network. Bandwidth
usage is controlled by modifying ingress and access
modules, such as IP service gateways (28) and access
modules (18a,b) that terminate branches of a multicast
tree. If a join request is received at an IP service
gateway from a sink node (12a-f) served by an access
module, the IP service gateway instructs the access module
to graft a leaf to the branch to join the sink node to the
tree and to merge the multicast packets with other IP
packets for the sink node. Consequently, only one
connection (38a,b) carrying the multicast traffic is
required between the IP service gateway and the access
module. Bandwidth usage in the ATM switching network is
thereby controlled, and bandwidth usage in service access
trunks connecting the access modules to the ATM switching
network is reduced.
