Abstract: The mixer receives a first input signal (X) which is mixed (12,14) with signals at a frequency f0, from a local oscillator. A second input signal is mixed with signals (X1,X2) in quadrature with the LO signals. A summer (22) produces a sum (X3) of the first (X1) and second (X2) quadrature signals and a phase-shifting filter (24) with a transfer function A(f) produces a signal (X3') which provides a delay of 45 degrees at the intermediate frequency, f1. A transfer function B(f) is applied to either the first or second signal to generate a fourth signal (X4). The ratio A(f1)/B(f1) has a modulus equal to the inverse square root of 2 and an argument equal to plus or minus 45 degrees or plus or minus 135 degrees . A second summer (18) produces an output (Y) at the intermediate frequency with a phase representative of the input signal at a communication frequency (fo+ f1) or (f0-f1).

Abstract: There is provided a composition comprising a unique polymeric compound that provides a soft, flexible product. There is also provided a unique polymeric tampon applicator that is soft and flexible. When used as a tampon applicator barrel, the barrel is more comfortable and has improved ease of insertion. The polymeric compound primarily comprises a thermoplastic resin and a block copolymer that exhibit unique load, energy and modulus of elasticity properties. The polymeric compound should also include a plasticizer and a compatibilizer/flow modifier, and may include a slip/mold release agent, an antioxidant, and even a pigment. There is also provided a method for making the polymeric compound that will be formed into a product, such as an applicator or applicator barrel in which all of the above ingredients, except for the thermoplastic resin, are combined and formed into soft pellets. The soft resin pellets are then dry blended with pellets of the thermoplastic resin. The mixture of the thermoplastic resin pellets and the soft resin pellets are then melted and injection molded into the desired shape. There is thus provided a method of making a soft, polymeric tampon applicator or tampon applicator barrel.

Abstract: Pour restituer une image d'affichage, le système restitue d'une manière sérielle des morceaux d'objets graphiques et assemble les objets graphiques pour calculer une image d'affichage. Pour diminuer les coûts de la restitution, le système peut effectuer des transformations affines sur des objets graphiques pour simuler le mouvement d'un objet tridimensionnel, plutôt que de restituer à nouveau l'objet pour l'animation d'images. La restitution de la géométrie par morceaux permet un anticrénelage sophistiqué de listes de fragments. Le système enregistre des fragments représentant des emplacements de pixels partiellement couverts ou des pixels translucides dans une mémoire tampon à fragments. Après tramage des primitives d'un morceau, un sous-système de résolution de fragments résout les fragments pour calculer des pixels de sortie. Le composant de tramage du système tente de fusionner les fragments pour les sauvegarder dans la mémoire à fragments. Quand la capacité de la mémoire à fragments est dépassée, le système peut sous-diviser les morceaux en régions plus petites et restituer ces régions plus petites de façon indépendante. Le système permet d'accéder à la texture dans des environnements avec des temps d'attente importants, comme par exemple dans le cas où les données de texture sont comprimées. Le temps d'attente pour l'accès à la texture est diminué, soit par une référence de texture, ou une file d'attente de pixels, pour mémoriser des données de pixels partiellement restituées à mesure que les données de texture sont extraites de la mémoire soit par un dispositif de pré-tramage pour générer des demandes de texture et un dispositif de post-tramage pour tramer complètement des primitives en utilisant des données de texture obtenues suite à la demande de texture générée par le dispositif de pré-tramage. Le système assure un filtrage anisotrope des données de texture en échantillonnant de manière répétée des données de texture le long d'une ligne d'anisotropie calculée pour un emplacement de pixels dans une ou des textures mappées MIP.

Abstract: Lorsqu'une bande de papier ou de film est déroulée à partir d'une bobine d'alimentation, située par exemple dans une machine à emballer en continu, la bande passe généralement par une station d'ajustement de façon qu'une tension constante soit exercée sur sa longueur extérieure. Normalement, cette opération est effectuée au moyen d'un rouleau de déroulement entraîné en synchronisation, qui est partiellement entrelacé avec ladite bande, et un système d'ajustement du degré d'entrelacement, qui varie en fonction de la détection par courant de la tension de ladite bande. Cette invention permet de simplifier ce processus: le rouleau de déroulement étant entraîné à une vitesse périphérique sensiblement plus élevée que la vitesse de la bande, il est possible d'obtenir, en respectant un angle d'entrelacement adéquat, une tension de bande qui soit relativement faible et constante, s'auto-ajustant automatiquement. Du fait d'une friction dynamique relativement faible entre le rouleau et la bande, il est même possible de réguler ou de maintenir efficacement le positionnement latéral de la bande en utilisant de simples aboutements qui coopèrent avec les bords latéraux de ladite bande.

Abstract: A method of a shared jackpot system of a gambling apparatus unit is provided, where the gambling apparatus unit comprises a plurality of coin-operated gambling machines. The gambling machines are linked to each other and jointly fill a jackpot. A predetermined part of the gambling bet of each gambling machine is employed to fill the jackpot. The filling level of the jackpot is displayed on each gambling machine and with a large display. A communication board is coordinated to each gambling apparatus in addition to a control unit. Upon actuation of the gambling machines, it is automatically determined which one of the gambling machines assumes the control in the form of a master. The master gambling machine monitors whether a jackpot trigger value is present. In case a jackpot trigger value is present, a command sequence is sent to all linked gambling machines. At the same time there occurs a final game in the gambling machines based on the command sequence. A rank sequence and a winning quota, respectively, is determined based on the predicted game result and the actual game result, wherein the rank sequence and the winning quota, respectively, represents a distribution key for the jackpot.

Abstract: Method for non-invasively determining glucose level in fluid of subject, typically blood glucose level. A particular device is mounted on the skin of the patient for a fixed period of time. The device is mounted on the skin such that a substrate such as paper or gel or an aqueous glucose solution carried by the device are in contact with the patient's skin. Water and/or glucose migrates between the substrate or the aqueous glucose solution of the device. The degree of migration of the substance in question is monitored, for example the amount of glucose remaining in an aqueous solution of the device is measured at the end of the fixed period. This can be done by a conventional or other spectrophotometric method, for example. The glucose level is determined based on the degree of migration of the migrating substance. That is, the degree of migration is correlated with previously determined fluid glucose levels based on directly measured fluid glucose levels. In another approach, impedance alone is measured at the skin surface over a relatively short time period, even less than one second and the impedance is correlated with previously determined glucose levels. It is thus possible, through such a correlation, to routinely non-invasively determine fluid glucose levels.
