IPC: B29C70/54
Filed: 2004-04-15
Abstract: A fiber bundle(17) is laid in an elongated tool cavity with fibers(18) aligned axially. The fiber bundle is twisted so that the distance between the bundle ends is reduced and the fibers move closer to each other to increase packing density. The tool is then closed and the cavity pressurized isotactically which compresses the fiber bundle and a matrix material in the cavity. Fibers(18) may be precoated with a matrix material or a matrix material can be injected into the cavity. Fiber ends are held in annular gaps between holding rings(12,20) and the outer tool part(11). By a combined rotation and longitudinal movement of a holding ring relative to the holding part the fiber bundle shortens and fibers are aligned at an angle to the axis. Auxiliary fibers or a binder may be used to fix the fibers relative to each other before they are placed in the tool cavity. The closed tool may be evacuated. Tubes may be manufactured by inserting a guide sleeve into the fiber bundle so that the tool cavity is restricted. The sleeve may be retained in the final component. An independent claim is included for a tool for manufacturing the fiber-reinforced tube or bar-shaped component which has an elongated cavity(16) with fiber holding rings at the ends and at at least one end of the cavity a guide(14) for a holding ring(20). The holding ring rotates in the guide and simultaneously moves longitudinally.

Abstract: The method involves dividing an image into several square blocks. Each block undergoes a frequency transformation whereby the image information is divided into frequencies and associated coefficients are determined. Each image is sub-divided into rectangular regions each comprising several blocks. From each region, a block is selected and the selected blocks from all regions are combined into groups. For each group, the average coefficient value is determined. For each block in each group the average coefficient value is determined. One of two pieces of binary information as a bit of the digital watermark or signature is embedded into a group whereby the average block coefficient of at least one block in the group is changed so that most of the blocks in this group have an average value less than the group coefficient average. The other piece of binary information is embedded in a group in which the block coefficient average value of at least one block is changed such that most of the blocks in this group have a block coefficient average greater than or equal to the group average coefficient value. The embedding of the first binary information bit slightly reduces the average value of the selected block(s) and increases the average of other blocks in the group so that the group average remains unchanged. The embedding of the second binary information bit slightly increases the average value of the selected block(s) and decreases the average of other blocks in the group so that the group average remains unchanged.

Abstract: An engine crankshaft includes a split crankshaft journal that includes offset connecting
rod journals for two connecting rods. Oil supply systems disposed on opposite axial sides of the
crankshaft journal each lubricate a corresponding one of the connecting rod journals. The oil
supply systems are either axial or peripheral oil supply systems that do not require oil to be
supplied to the crankshaft through the main crankcase bearings. Consequently, the oil supply
systems sufficiently lubricate each connecting rod journal without requiring weakening holes or
grooves in the main crankcase bearings.

Inventor: JARBOE JR JAMES M
IPC: G11C29/08

Abstract: The disclosed method and apparatus enables the testing of multiple embedded memory
arrays (110-113) associated with multiple processor cores (105-108) on a single computer chip
(100). According to one aspect, the disclosed method and apparatus identifies certain rows and
columns within each of the embedded memory arrays (110-113) that need to be disabled and also
identifies certain redundant rows and columns in the embedded memory array to be activated.
According to another aspect, the disclosed method and apparatus generates a map indicating
where each of the memory failures occurs in each embedded memory array (110-113). If the
testing process determines that the embedded memory array cannot be repaired, then a signal is
provided directly to an external testing device indicating that the embedded memory array is
non-repairable. Similarly, if the testing process determines that the failures in the embedded
memory array can be repaired, then a signal is provided directly to an external testing apparatus
indicating that the embedded memory array is repairable. Lastly, if no failures are found in an
embedded memory array, then a signal is provided to an external testing apparatus indicating that
the embedded memory array contains no failures. Based upon these status signals, the external
testing device can determine which set of data (i.e., repair data and/or failure map data) to offload
from each embedded memory array and which sets of data to disregard, thereby reducing
the memory test time for a device. Another aspect of the disclosed method and apparatus is a
data flow control unit that controls the flow of input and output data to each of the embedded
memory arrays. This device broadcasts the test program to each of the embedded memory arrays
at the same time thereby enabling the simultaneous testing of multiple embedded memory arrays.
Yet another aspect of the disclosed method and apparatus is a shorthand notation for indicating
where memory failures occur within an embedded memory array.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device (4) includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard (24) and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output (76) and a number of variants (80). The output is based largely upon the frequency,  i.e. , the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key (40) of the keypad (24) that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device. During selection of a variant, the variant is highlighted and is displayed in a text component location (68) on a display (60).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de dosage à base de membrane, destiné à détecter la présence ou à déterminer la quantité d'un analyte résidant dans un échantillon test. Le dispositif utilise des sondes conjuguées qui contiennent un élément de liaison spécifique à l'analyte d'intérêt. L'élément de liaison spécifique  forme de préférence des complexes avec l'analyte dans un échantillon test lorsqu'il est en contact avec ce dernier. L'analyte en excès qui n'a pas formé de complexes avec l'élément de liaison spécifique subit une liaison non spécifique telle qu'une liaison à un domaine hydrophobe. Par conséquent, la capacité de l'analyte qui n'a pas formé de complexes d'entrer en concurrence avec l'analyte qui a formé des complexes dans la zone de détection du dispositif est réduite. De cette manière, on réduit de façon simple, efficace et relativement peu coûteuse l'incidence de 'faux négatifs'.
