Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a purified version of a solvent-soluble
dyestuff, comprising the steps of
   (a) mixing an aqueous presscake of the dyestuff into a water-miscible liquid; and   (b) distilling off the water until a water content of 5 % by weight maximum is attained; and   (c) filtering the dyestuff composition comprising solvent-soluble dyestuff and water-miscible
liquid, thereby removing all insoluble contaminants and   (d) diluting the dyestuff composition comprising solvent-soluble dyestuff and water-miscible
organic solvent in de-ionized water, thereby performing the precipitation of the
solvent-soluble dyestuff which is then isolated after filtration and washing with de-ionized
water.    
     This ink jet grade version has the important advantage of being virtually salt-free and solvent-free.

Title: Expected value methods and systems for paying and qualifying
Inventor: ROSSIDES MICHAEL T
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-07-07
Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for enabling advertisers to pay only qualified people for receiving messages. The system presents online forms and a database that enable advertisers to specify qualifications, post payment offers, and transact payments. It also presents forms, or their voice equivalents, that enable recipients to find and accept the payment offers. The system can also enable recipients to be exposed to the messages. The system utilizes the expected value (EV) payment method to efficiently pay a recipient and efficiently verify her qualifications. In this method, a recipient is paid an expected payment. The recipient collects an <i>actual payoff</i> only upon winning en EV payment bet <i>and</i> upon passing an inspection process to verify her qualifications. A losing recipient is not owed a payoff and does <i>not</i> have her qualifications inspected. In other words, a recipient's qualifications are verified through random audit where she is selected only if she wins an EV payment bet. Thus, the system executes EV payment bets and incorporates an inspection process to verify the qualifications of recipients who win the bets and authorizes payment to qualified winners.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à réduire au minimum la transmission de données entre une station mobile et un serveur passerelle. Selon le procédé, une station mobile transmet à un serveur passerelle une requête relative à un contenu et/ou à une ressource située sur un serveur Web, et ce au moyen d'un premier protocole. Le serveur passerelle transmet la requête au serveur Web en utilisant un deuxième protocole compatible avec celui utilisé par le serveur Web. Le serveur passerelle reçoit un message de réexpédition depuis le serveur Web indiquant un nouvel emplacement du contenu et/ou de la ressource. En réponse au message de réexpédition, le serveur passerelle crée et transmet une autre requête relative au contenu et/ou à la ressource à ce nouvel emplacement. Après réception du contenu et/ou de la ressource demandée depuis le serveur Web ou un autre serveur Web, le serveur passerelle transmet le contenu et/ou la ressource demandée à la station mobile, en utilisant le premier protocole.

Abstract: A process for making inner (160-166) and outer ducts for a simple but effective plastic heat exchanger by a
simple blow molding or thermoforming technique. Seals are formed by providing initially closed inner ducts (160-166) which
are stacked on one another and the end portions (170-176)
of the inner ducts (160-166) are placed in a mold (200). A castable adhesive sealant (202)
is placed in the mold (200) and around the stacked inner ducts (160-166). After curing, the mold (200) and the stacked inner ducts (160-166) are
separated and a portion of the stack and a portion of the seal material (202) are cut and removed. Thereafter, the outer
duct is positioned about the stacked inner ducts (160-166) so that two different flow paths are formed. Instead of molding the
seal, a preformed seal may be press fitted to the stack of inner ducts (160-166).

Abstract: An optical fiber 2 is spliced to an optical fiber 1 in
a state that those optical fibers are axially shifted away from
each other by an offset quantity D. With this splicing of the
optical fibers, a coupling loss arises at a fusion splicing
part 1c. A plurality of fusion splicing parts 1c are provided.
The terminal part of the final optical fiber of serially spliced
optical fibers is a non-reflection treating part 10. Light
propagating through the optical fiber 1 is attenuated at the
fusion splicing part, whereby non-reflection of light is
realized. The back reflection light is also attenuated at the
fusion splicing part, thereby reducing the amount of the back
reflection light traveling back to the core 1a of the optical
fiber 1.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for scheduling,
in real-time, the order in which data packets from a
plurality of uplink channels 40-55 are organized in a
downlink channel 60 of a satellite communications network
5. The satellite 10 includes uplink and downlink
channels for conveying data packets over channels between
user terminals 15-30, ground stations 35 and other user
terminals. Queues 104-110 in the satellite 10 collect
data packets from uplinks 40-55 and output the data
packets to the downlink 60 using a bandwidth that is
dynamically allocated. A scheduler 152 allocates the
bandwidth to at least one queue 104-110 and continuously
changes the amount of bandwidth allocated to each active
queue 104-110 while the queue 104-110 is buffering data
packets between the uplinks 40-55 and downlink 60. The
scheduler 152 allocates bandwidth based upon a priorityclass
packet service schedule 200 calculated based upon
traffic parameters associated with each active queue 104-110
(steps 306 and 308).

Abstract: When a video source, which is not limited in the
number of copying operations thereof, has been recorded,
a reduced image thereof is created and stored in a
recording medium (S3). Upon thumbnail image display
(upon execution of a thumbnail function), the reduced
image is displayed at a high speed. On the other hand,
when a video source, only one-generation recording of
which is enabled, has been recorded, no reduced image
is created (stored) so as to avoid "copy limitation
violation". When the only-one-generation-copy-enabled
video source mage has been recorded, the thumbnail
display function is realized by storing, in the
recording medium, a pointer indicative of the position
of the original image of a thumbnail image in video
