Patent EP-2817558-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FRANKLIN JEREMY C
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 2013-02-27
Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with backlight structures. The backlight structures may produce backlight that passes through the display layers in the display. The backlight structures may include a light guide plate that distributes light across the display layers. A light source such as a light-emitting diode light source may be used to provide light to the light guide plate. In one suitable embodiment, a light guide structure having a bend may be coupled between the light source and the light guide plate and may be used to guide the light from the light source to the light guide plate via total internal reflection. In another suitable embodiment, the light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a flexible printed circuit that is curled into a spring element. The flexible printed circuit may be used to bias the light-emitting diodes against the edge of the light guide plate.

Title: Diversité de transmission sur un canal de commande sans signaux de référence supplémentaires
Inventor: JÄNIS PEKKA
IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 2013-04-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil fournissant un partage de ports d'antenne et un système de précodage basé sur des signaux de référence de démodulation (DMRS) pour un canal de commande de liaison descendante physique amélioré (E-PDCCH) distribué en utilisant, par exemple, une diversité de transmission reposant sur des codes de blocs de fréquence spatiale (SFBC)/une diversité de transmission sélective en fréquence (FSTD). Le procédé présente les mêmes performances qu'une diversité de transmission SFBC/FSTD en utilisant un DMRS non précodé sans empêcher un autre E-PDCCH localisé d'équipements utilisateurs (UE) d'être potentiellement multiplexé dans une même paire de blocs de ressources physiques (PRB). La transmission SFBC/FSTD est facilitée en mappant un sous-ensemble de couches avec des ports DMRS utilisés par d'autres équipements utilisateurs pour une transmission localisée et formée en faisceau, tandis que les précodeurs pour les couches restantes sont choisis pour être orthogonaux aux précodeurs des autres équipements utilisateurs, offrant ainsi de bonnes performances tout en minimisant l'utilisation des ports DMRS. En particulier, aucun port DMRS supplémentaire n'est nécessaire pour la transmission par diversité spatiale.

Abstract: A financial transaction facilitating device for facilitating a financial transaction at an ATM, point of sale station, via the Internet or to login to a financial account generates a PIN in response to a correct biometric identifier being supplied. The device has a data storage unit, an input device operable by a transactor for inputting a request for a PIN, a biometric identifier input device for inputting a biometric identifier of the transactor, a verifying unit for verifying a biometric identifier provided, in use, by the transactor, a PIN generator for generating a PIN if the inputted biometric identifier is verified, and an output device for supplying the PIN to the transactor. The biometric identifier may be a sound signal, a visual signal, or a fingerprint. Correspondingly, a financial transaction processing facility of an issuer of credit or debit cards has a receiving unit for receiving a transaction request from a transactor to whom a credit or debit card has been issued, together with a PIN, a verifying unit for verifying the PIN, and a transaction approving unit for approving the transaction if the received PIN is verified. The received PIN may be verified using a check PIN generator for generating a check PIN and a comparator for comparing the check PIN and the received PIN.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un entraînement (101) de décanteur (1000) comprenant une couronne principale (160) fonctionnellement connectée à une cage (150) par l'intermédiaire d'une partie en toile (152). Un anneau de transfert de palier (170) est prévu sur la partie en toile (152) de telle sorte qu'un espace (172) existe entre l'anneau de transfert de palier (170) et la couronne principale (160). L'anneau de transfert de palier (170) est raccordé à une course (144) qui communique avec une seconde course de palier (142) qui est fixée à une partie de base (136) de l'entraînement (101). Un couple (T) est appliqué sur la cage (150) pour tourner un ensemble de râteaux (1002). L'espace (172) donne du jeu pour des déflexions, distorsions ou déformations de la couronne principale (160) provoquées par des contraintes de flexion (B) dans la couronne principale (160). L'anneau de transfert de palier (170) absorbe les contraintes conférées à la couronne principale (160) et empêche les organes de fixation (188) connectés aux courses de palier tendues (144) de se cisailler. L'invention concerne également un kit de conversion d'un entraînement de décanteur, un décanteur (1000) ayant un entraînement (101) conforme à la description ci-dessus et un procédé d'épaississement/clarification de boue (1008) utilisant un entraînement (101) conforme à la description ci-dessus.

IPC: A61B6/03

Abstract: An imaging method positions a heterogeneous object (10), such as a metallic stent having a polymer coating, within a fixture (38) having a chamber (43). The fixture (38) also has a valve (50) for receiving a gas and normally sealing the chamber (43). Thus, the object (10) is within the chamber (43). Next the method positions the fixture (38) within an active region (24) of a computerised tomographic (CT) machine (18), fluidly connects a gas line to the valve (50), and injects an inert gas into the chamber (43) through the gas line and the valve (50). The inert gas may include one or more of the xenon, argon, and krypton. The method then increases the pressure within the sealed chamber (43) to increase the density of the gas within the chamber (43), and directs x-ray energy toward the active region (24) of the CT machine (18) to produce a plurality of two- dimensional images of the object (10) and the pressurized gas. Finally, the method generates a three-dimensional representation of the object (10) from the plurality of images. In the case of a coated stent, since the metallic portion and the polymeric portion of the stent as well as the pressurising gas haven different X-ray attenuation coefficients, it is possible in the three-dimensional representation of the stent to distinguish the metallic portion from the polymeric portion of the stent.

After placement, the standoff may be secured to the distribution plate by bolts or other fasteners. The distribution plate may be a single plate that contains the electrical and hydraulic lines and also is strong enough to provide support to the CRDMs or may comprise a stack of two or more plates.
