Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a client application
for enabling access to an online service and displaying advertisements while the user is
accessing the online service. The client application receives play lists from the online
service provider. The play lists include information about advertisements to be played
and the order of play. The client application also receives match lists from the online
service provider. The match lists include information about advertisements to be
played when the user performs certain actions. The client application provides the user
with the ability to cycle back through previously displayed advertisements, and to cycle
forward. The client application displays advertisements continuously while the user is
connected to and / or using the online service, and also displays advertisements during
the delay between when the client application is activated and when the user can
actually use the online service. In conjunction with the client application displaying
advertisements, the client application also records which advertisements were played.
The client application displays a number of icons for functions available to the user, and
the client application records when the user selects these functions. The client
application also records certain pre-connection events, such as dial-up errors.

Abstract: A piling hammer 10 has an anvil member 12 which, in use, is placed
against a pile 14. A weight 16 is reciprocated to impact repeatedly on the anvil
12, to create piling forces. Various arrangements are made to reduce the noise
created by the hammer. First, impacts between the weight 16 and anvil 12 take
place within a chamber 20, which is substantially wholly enclosed. Cushioning
is provided, e.g. at 68. The chamber 20 is formed to minimise vibration at an
audible frequency, such as by providing thick walls. The mass of the anvil 12 is
preferably at least one eighth of the mass of the weight 16.

Abstract: A comprehensive system is provided for designing a voice activated user interface (VA
UI) having a semantic and syntactic structure adapted to the culture and conventions of spoken
language for the intended users. The system decouples the content dimension of speech
(semantics) and the manner-of-speaking dimension (syntax) in a systematic way. By decoupling
these dimensions, the VA UI can be optimized with respect to each dimension independently and
jointly. The approach is general across languages and encompasses universal variables of
language and culture. Also provided are voice activated user interfaces with semantic and
syntactic structures so adapted, as well as a prompting grammar and error handling methods
adapted to such user interfaces.

Title: Procede ameliore de depot electrophoretique de films ferroelectriques utilisant un additif trifonctionnel, et compositions a cet effet
Inventor: GAL-OR LEAH
IPC: C25D13/02

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré de dépôt de particules ferroélectriques sur la surface d'un substrat destiné à former des films ou des corps autonomes. L'amélioration porte sur le dépôt électrophorétique de films ferroélectriques avec utilisation d'un additif de phosphate ester trifonctionnel présent dans la suspension de dépôt électrophorétique à raison d'une concentration inférieure à 10 % vol, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'ajouter un liant. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à préparer ladite suspension par lavage et dispersion de particules ferroélectriques, par exemple de la poudre de PZT disponible dans le commerce, dans un solvant polaire tel que l'éthanol, puis à ajouter l'additif de phosphate ester à la suspension, avant de soumettre le tout à un traitement ultrasonique. La suspension est utilisée pour le dépôt électrophorétique de particules ferroélectriques sur un substrat préparé. Après le dépôt électrophorétique, le film cru est séché et fritté à haute température. L'examen visuel et physique des films recouverts de PZT à motifs et autonomes permet de vérifier que lesdits films sont d'excellente qualité, à l'image de ceux que l'on obtient lors de la fabrication de divers produits piézoélectriques. Ils présentent en effet une uniformité du film cru et une répartition de l'épaisseur  exceptionnellement élevées, ainsi qu'une reproductibilité comprise entre ± 2 microns pour les films d'une épaisseur de 20 micromètres. L'additif de phosphate ester sert d'une part, à améliorer la stabilisation et la régulation des caractéristiques et des propriétés de la suspension au cours du processus de migration électrophorétique, et d'autre part, à améliorer les dimensions, les caractéristiques et les propriétés électriques souhaitées du film cru déposé. Ledit procédé permet de produire des films ferroélectriques minces ou épais, se présentant soit sous la forme de produits autonomes, soit formés sur des substrats à motifs géométriques compliqués ou sur des substrats ne présentant pas de motifs. Le procédé amélioré selon l'invention s'applique aux différents matériaux particulaires ferroélectriques et aux différents substrats utilisés pour la fabrication d'éléments et de dispositifs piézoélectriques, et ce de manière rentable.

battery which can reliably perform a current cut-off operation
in a current cut-off state and can release a gas in a cleavage
state. In the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, an
electrode element 2 is held in a circularly cylindrical outer
packaging can 1. A lid 7, a PTC element 3, and a safety valve 6

central portion of the safety valve 6, a projecting portion 6a
projecting toward the electrode element 2 is formed. The
projecting portion 6a is welded on a sub-disk 4 welded on the
free end of a positive electrode lead 9. In the safety valve 6,
a plurality of linear thin portions are formed along two circles
centering on the projecting portion 6a. A thin portion
extending in a radial direction is formed across the end
portions of the thin portions adjacent to each other. In this
manner, by the plurality of thin portions, one continuous thin
portion is formed. 
     In a safety valve in which the projecting portion is
connected to the lead of the electrode element through the
central hole of the disk, the disk has a linear thin portion, or
a linear thin portion is formed almost along a circle centering
on the symmetrical point of the central hole.

Abstract: A radio frequency power amplifier circuit provides linear amplitude modulation of a radio frequency output signal while operating in a saturated amplification mode. The power amplifier circuit incorporates a lossy modulator that functions as a variable resistance responsive to an amplitude modulation signal. A supply voltage is coupled to the voltage supply input of the power amplifier circuit through the lossy modulator, such that the supply voltage applied to the power amplifier varies with the amplitude modulation signal. The radio frequency power amplifier circuit modulates the envelope of an RF output signal generated by saturated mode amplification of a constant envelope radio frequency input signal.
