Abstract: A method and system of enabling incoming and outgoing call
capability for a digital telephone that is limited to analog transmissions
include providing a converter that locally supports the protocol of the
digital telephone, but that converts digitized signals of voice information,
party-specific call messages and call-handling call messages into outgoing
analog signals. In one embodiment, one analog signal carries the voice
information and a second analog signal carries the party-specific and
call-handling call messages, with the first analog signal being transmitted
via a public switching telephone network and the second analog signal
being transmitted via a data network. Received analog signals are
reconverted to digital signals having the appropriate protocol. In another
embodiment, the voice information, the party-specific call messages and
the call-handling call messages are transmitted along a single digital link
between two converters, typically by means of a data network.

Abstract: To provide a method which allows a battery with a
flat base to be produced in a cylindrical battery
manufacturing method in which a metallic casing with a larger
outside diameter than the outside diameter of the metallic
casing in the finished battery is used, a battery element is
housed in the said metallic casing, then the outside diameter
of the metallic casing reduced; to reduce the occurrence of
defective batteries due to deficient electric conduction
between the metallic casing and the electrode lead; and to
improve the safety of the said cylindrical battery in the
event of an outside short circuit. 
     In the making of a battery in which the outside
diameter of the metallic casing in the finished battery is A,
the outside diameter of the metallic casing used is made to
satisfy the relationship L2 > A ≧ L3. The battery element,
made by winding in a coil shape, is wound so that when winding
is completed the end of electrode or electrode current
collector of either the negative electrode or the positive
electrode is positioned at the outermost periphery of the
battery element, then the said battery element is housed in a
cylindrical metallic casing, after which the outside diameter
of the said metallic casing is reduced to strengthen the
contact between the end of electrode or electrode current
collector positioned at the outermost periphery of the battery
element and the internal wall of the metallic casing, and make
the resistance electric of contact between the electrode and
metallic casing sufficiently small.

Abstract: In a CCD imaging device in which sensor sections have
the vertical overflow drain (OFD) structure, a substrate bias
control signal is applied to the base of a bipolar transistor
via a resistor to turn on the transistor at least during a
signal charge readout period. As a result, the base
potential of a bipolar transistor that constitutes a clamping
circuit is lowered, whereby a substrate bias that is output
from a substrate bias generation circuit is lowered. Thus,
the potential of an overflow barrier in the sensor sections
is reduced.

Abstract: There is disclosed a washing device for use with an automatic
biochemical analyzer using reaction containers. The washing
device comprises a sucking portion and a draining tube. When the
sucking portion is advanced into any one reaction container placed
in position and is set in a given position, a communication passage
is created between the inner wall surface of the container and the
outer wall surface of the sucking portion and between the bottom
surface of the container and the bottom surface of the sucking
portion. During draining, the container is depleted of wash liquid.
Outside air flows from the communication passage into the container
through its opening at the top end at a flow rate more than a given
value. The air flow blows away the water droplets adhering to the
inner wall surface of the container. The blown water droplets are
urged downward toward the sucking port in the suction portion. Then,
the water droplets are discharged into a waste tank through the
draining tube. Thus, the water droplets can be easily and almost
completely removed.

Title: Transmission of digital and analog signals in the same band
Inventor: BOSSARD BERNARD
IPC: H04W16/24
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: A combination of broadband program materials, such as TV, plus digital communications services of all types, are broadcast to a cell in the same frequency band, such as 27.5 to 28.5 GHz. The combination of all the transmitted channels have a combined bandwidth substantially exceeding the frequency band. At least some of the channels are transmitted with two diversity characteristics different from those of other channels. In one embodiment analog signals transmit the broadband services, preferably using wide deviation FM modulation, the FM channels filling the band. By choosing carrier frequencies selectively, between 5 and 9 T-1 digital channels can be broadcast in each FM channel when polarization is the same. Differing polarization of digital and FM signals in the same band can enable selection and detection of the desired one of a full spectrum of digital signals, or any one of the analog signals.

Abstract: Système permettant de déterminer l'approbation d'une transaction à devises multiples entre un commerçant et un client impliquant un change de devises. Les obligations du commerçant et du client concernant une telle transaction peuvent être fixées au moment de la transaction. Les risques encourus par les parties, associés jusque-là au change de devises, sont donc réduits à un minimum. Les parties engagées dans une transaction à devises multiples autorisent une entité approbatrice à régler la transaction. L'autorisation est accordée par le fait que le client et le commerçant établissent des comptes sachant que des transactions seront soumises à l'entité qui détient les comptes et qu'elles seront traitées par ladite entité. Les parties transmettent des données représentant la transaction à l'entité approbatrice. Ces données comportent une somme dans une première devise qu'un client est prêt à payer pour un produit et un prix dans une deuxième devise qu'un commerçant est prêt à accepter pour ledit produit. L'autorité approbatrice approuve la transaction sur la base de critères prédéterminés. Une fois la transaction approuvée, l'entité approbatrice peut régler la transaction à sa discrétion, assumant ainsi le risque associé au change des devises. Toutefois, les parties ne courent aucun risque. Le client paiera la somme dans le première devise et le commerçant recevra le prix dans la deuxième devise. Il s'agit là de valeurs connues et acceptées par les parties au moment de la transaction.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'effectuer simultanément l'estimation et la segmentation d'un mouvement en fonction d'une transformée de Hough et à l'aide de logiciels d'évaluation statistique. Ce procédé permet d'améliorer les performances que l'on obtient à l'aide des techniques classiques, ceci en remettant tout simplement à jour l'échelle après chaque étape k lors d'une résolution fine. Lors d'une résolution plus grossière, on utilise une technique non répétitive qui est ensuite remplacée par une technique à transformée de Hough lors d'une étape de résolution plus fine. Cette invention concerne également d'autres techniques permettant d'améliorer avantageusement la convergence ainsi que les performances. Ces techniques comprennent l'utilisation de dérivées graduées lors du processus de répétition, et consistent à surveiller la valeur de la fonction erreur de manière à obtenir un bon point de départ en vue de répétitions sur des résolutions plus fines.
