Abstract: In a data communication system (SYS) a client unit (CU) and a
server (SERV) perform a data communication, in particular to
provide the client unit (CU) with data from the server unit
(SERV). The server unit (SERV) comprises a client
characteristics determination unit (CC-DU) for determining
client characteristic information (CCI) about the client unit
(CU). For this purpose, an exploration request transmission
unit (EXTX) sends a client characteristics exploration
request (CC-RQ) to the client unit (CU) (S1), a client
characteristics determination unit (CC-DU) in the client unit
(CU) determines the relevant client characteristic
information (S3) and a response message is transmitted back
to the server unit (SERV) (S4, S5). Thus, the server unit
(SERV) receives information about the client capabilities,
for example about the preferences the user has set inside a
browser program running on the client unit (CU). The client
characteristics exploration request (CC-RQ) which is sent to
the client side (CU) can contain an exploration processing
program unit (EXP-PU) which is run on the client unit (CU).
The server unit (SERV) can also order the execution of an
exploration processing program unit (EXP-PU) residing on the
client unit (CU) by unit of sending an exploration program
execution request to the client unit (CU). The server unit
and the client unit can be advantageously implemented in a
JAVA environment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are taught for treating polymer webs for obtaining the proper surface characteristics to promote adhesion of photosensitive coating materials and/or layers typically coated thereon. The web is passed through a high-voltage sheath region or dark space of the plasma generated by a powered electrode residing in a discharge zone. The frequency of the driving voltage must be above a lower bound dictated by the properties of the polymer support and the plasma, and it must be below an upper bound beyond which the sheath voltages drop significantly and it is observed that the benefits of this approach diminish. The dark space is generated by a treatment electrode in a treatment zone. There is a counter electrode having a surface area in said treatment zone which is at least as great as the surface area of the treatment electrode. A power supply is included for driving the treatment electrode with an oscillating high voltage at a frequency less than about 2 MHz and greater than 1/t<sub>c</sub> where t<sub>c</sub> is the charging time of a web surface exposed to a rms ion current in the plasma.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of preparing preforms for
optical fibers. The invention allows one to remove or significantly reduce
undesirable refractive index variations in the central portion of the optical
fibers. The method of preparing the preform having a central duct includes the
steps of a first collapsing step, an etching step and a second collapsing step.
The first collapsing step reduces the size of the central duct without closing the
central duct by heating the preform at a first preform collapsing temperature.
A portion of the last deposited layer of the core glass layers is etched by flowing
an etchant gas through the central duct at a lower temperature than the
preform collapsing temperature. The preform is finally collapsed at a second
collapsing temperature to close the central duct of the preform and form a solid
rod.

Abstract: The shrouding (2) for at least one band of cables or strands is a strip of heat shrinking material which is applied to lock the cables. The sealed joints have collars (5) round the cables for the circulation of dry air within the shrouding, along the length of the cables.  The strip has two lips projecting from the outer surfaces of the two edges so that, when they are brought together at their flat surfaces, they form a beading at right angles to the contact surfaces. A slide is pushed over the beading to lock the edges together during heat shrinking, which can be removed after shrinking or left in place as a mechanical reinforcement of the joint. A system gives a dry air circulation between the shrouding (2) and the cables, in the gaps formed after shrinkage. The shrouding is formed by a number of strips (2) wrapped round the cables, overlapping each other. The shrouding also covers the metal collars, as a seal between them. The collar sections (6,7) are locked together by a screw bolt clamp (8). The seal can also be a neck within the collar around the heat shrinking shrouding material. A cord of sealing putty is around the ring collar and the shrouding as the seal, or a shaped unit is molded or fitted on the collar by a clamp where one shrouding strip is between the sealing piece and the cables and another shrouding strip is outside the sealing piece and round the first shrouding strip. The heat shrinking strip is locked to the metal collar without cladding, with a string of sealing putty as the bond between the strip and the end of the collar. The edges of the shrouding strip can have projecting lips at one side, to form a beading when they are brought together, to be locked by a slide pushed over them. One lip is set back from the edge, by 20-70 mm and preferably 40 mm, as a space for an applied thermofusible adhesive which is compressed during shrinkage. The beadings, formed by the lips, have a semi-circular cross section. An Independent claim is included for a cable shrouding process where the shrouding material is cut to length and laid along the cables, and is wrapped round them to bring their edges together with the edge lips projecting outwards forming a beading, to be locked together by a slide pushed over them. The shrouding is heated to shrink the material, and to bond the edges together by the fusible adhesive between them. The slide can be removed and the lips trimmed off flush to the shrouding, or the slide can be left in place to reinforce the bond at the shrouding edges. Preferred Features: The zone of bumps formed by the lips and the slide is covered by a putty to give a support zone in a regular convex shape with a width of 6 cm and a length of 20-40 cm, where the first shrouding strip is partially covered by the second strip together with an additional bonding strip to hold the edges together during shrinkage. The second strip covers the first longitudinally to enclose the end of the lip and slide bumps for complete sealing.

Abstract: In a method for transmitting an analog input signal (a B ) by using direct
spread spectrum modulation, in a transmitter device (11,11'),
     a clock signal synchronises a data spreading signal (c D ) with a synchronisation
spreading signal (c S ), each spreading signal being (c D , c S ) formed by
repeating a corresponding pseudorandom noise sequence or spreading
code (c D (t), c S (t)),   the analog input signal (a B ) is modulated with the data spreading signal
(c D ) to generate a modulated analog signal (a M ),   a function of the modulated analog signal (a M ) and a function of the synchronisation
spreading signal (c S ) are added to form a transmitted signal
(y RF , y BB ).   
     As a result, the transmitted signal (y RF , y BB ) contains synchronisation information
for restoring the analog signal in a receiver device (20,20'), where:
     a first function of a received signal is correlated with the synchronisation
spreading code (c S (t)) which correlation generates a restored clock signal
(b R ),   the restored clock signal (b R ) synchronises a generation of a restored data
spreading signal (C DR ),   a second function of the received signal is demodulated with the restored
data spreading signal (C DR ), which generates a restored analog signal.

Abstract: A prosthetic nucleus replacement comprises a solid flattened oval disk. The top surface of the disc is domed and has a crest that is about three times higher than the crest on the domed bottom surface. Both top and bottom surfaces are therefore convex. A peg extends down from the middle of the bottom domed surface and is used to pin the disc to the lower of two vertebrae it fits between. Metal markers are inserted into the peg and an outside edge of the disc so that radiographs can be used to determine the disc's in situ position. The prosthetic nucleus replacement is surgically implanted into the hollowed out intervertebral space through a flap cut in the natural annulus fibrosis. The lower vertebrae is prepared to receive the peg by clearing the material covering the top of the bone matrix. Bone cement is used around the peg to ensure a tight fit and immobile attachment of the disc to the lower vertebrae.
