Title: Procede de recyclage de piles rechargeables a polymere/lithium et materiaux connexes
Inventor: CARDARELLI FRANCOIS
IPC: C22B34/22
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pyrométallurgique et hydrométallurgique de récupération et de recyclage de composés au lithium et au vanadium à partir d'un matériau comprenant des piles au lithium rechargeables, en particulier du type à gel au lithium et électrolyte polymère solide. On fournit une masse de matériau considéré qui subit les opérations suivantes: durcissement par refroidissement à une température inférieure à la température ambiante, comminution de la masse ainsi traitée, digestion avec un acide des cendres de cette masse résultant d'une incinération, ou des sels solidifiés résultant d'une oxydation en bain de sels fondus, ou bien comminution de la masse proprement dite. Le procédé donne une liqueur mère qui permet l'extraction des composés au vanadium, la séparation des métaux lourds et de l'aluminium, et la précipitation de carbonate de lithium à partir de la solution restante.

Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, provides an interface circuit for
interfacing one or more compute nodes to a mesh and that is capable of serving a
wide range of MPP systems. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention,
the interface circuit implements a method of exchanging data between a first agent
on an expansion bus and a second agent on a system bus through a bus bridge so as
to maintain cache coherency with data cached by one or more agents on the system
bus. The method is performed by queuing transaction request within the the bus
bridge, snooping transactions on the system bus and maintaining a record of pending
transaction addresses, and stalling issuance of a queued transaction having a
same cache line address as a pending transaction until the pending transaction has
been completed.

Abstract: An acetabular prosthesis for implantation in an acetabulum and surrounding
pelvis is described. The acetabular prosthesis includes an acetabular cup (12) having a
substantially concave inner surface (16) and a substantially convex outer surface (18), wherein an
area defining a groove (20) is located on the outer surface of the acetabular cup (12). A
spacer member (60,62,64), having a raised ridge formed on a surface thereof, slidably engages the
groove (20). The spacer provides augmentation and load bearing support in cases where
bone tissue loss has occurred in and around the acetabulum. A fastener, such as a
surgical screw, is used to secure the acetabular cup (12), and the spacer, to the
acetabulum. At least one attachment member (32,34,36) is integrally formed with the acetabular
cup (12) for fastening to a surface of the pelvis, such as the ilium and/or the ischium. Another
spacer member (100,102) is provided for the attachment member to provide augmentation
around the attachment points on the pelvis. A fastener, such as a surgical screw, is
used to secure the attachment member, and the other spacer (100,102), to the pelvis.
The described acetabular prosthesis is especially useful in revision hip implant
procedures where significant bone tissue loss has occurred either in or around the
acetabulum and/or the pelvis.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des systèmes en ligne existants de commande et de fourniture de produits numériques permettant à une société en ligne d'établir des profils de clients. Le but est de rendre possible l'achat en ligne, sous une forme sensiblement anonyme, de produits audiovisuels ou autres (ou bien l'accès à un service en ligne). Pour initier une session d'achat comprenant une ou plusieurs transactions, l'acheteur s'identifie auprès d'un ordinateur fournisseur à domicile (3) qui lui attribue alors un identifiant client anonyme (ID client) dans le cadre de ladite session. L'acheteur (1) se met en contact avec un ordinateur vendeur (6) au moyen de son identifiant anonyme (ID client) et d'une procuration HTTP anonyme dans le but de passer une commande pour un ou plusieurs produits ou services que l'ordinateur vendeur est habilité à fournir. L'ordinateur vendeur (6) entre en contact avec l'ordinateur fournisseur (3) auquel il soumet l'ID client afin d'obtenir une clé publique du client anonyme à des fins de transaction, la clé choisie pour cette transaction étant prise parmi un ensemble de paires de clés publiques/privées attribuées antérieurement à l'acheteur par l'ordinateur fournisseur (3). L'ordinateur vendeur émet ensuit un certificat (cert1) (figure 2) qui renferme une chaîne de certificats de droits (cert2, cert3), attestant que le vendeur autorise l'accès au produit ou au service considéré à partir d'un ou de plusieurs ordinateurs de magasinage (5) qui renferment le produit ou le service audiovisuel dans un serveur associé (8). Le certificat est crypté et déposé dans un ordinateur de stockage de certificats (4). Pour se faire livrer le produit ou le service par l'ordinateur de magasinage (5), l'acheteur (1) fournit l'ID client à l'ordinateur fournisseur (3), lequel obtient alors le certificat de l'ordinateur de stockage de certificats, extrait la clé publique et exécute une procédure de vérification critique/réponse avec l'ordinateur fournisseur dans le but de vérifier l'identité de l'acheteur. Une fois la validité du certificat contrôlée, l'ordinateur d'emmagasinage fournit le produit ou le service à l'acheteur. Seul l'ordinateur fournisseur à domicile connaît la véritable identité de l'acheteur, mais ignore la nature des produits ou des services achetés, sauf indication contraire de la part de l'acheteur. Dans certaines circonstances, certaines des fonctions des différentes entités informatiques peuvent être combinés dans un seul et même ordinateur.

Title: Micropayment system for internet pages
Inventor: BAUERSACHS PETRA
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2002-01-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a micropayment system for the contents of Internet pages and to a method for processing rapid payment transactions on the Internet. Said system consists of configuration instructions for the provider of chargeable Internet pages and of a central service provider, which runs the user accounts and transfers the payment amounts to the provider accounts. The user remains anonymous to the provider and except for an e-mail address (which can be falsified) also to the service provider. Said information allows the rapid sale of information at extremely low prices, as the smallest payment unit is defined at a microdollar = 1/1000 th of a dollar. The user can thus become accustomed to the fact that in the long-term many Internet service providers cannot be financed merely by advertising, but need to receive direct payment for their services. The method does not require any hardware (chips, smartcards, chip card readers etc.) and can be used immediately by all Internet users (without having to log on or provide proof of identity).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting the transmission power level or transmission data rate between a plurality of stations located within the coverage area of a basic service set (BSS) or in an independent basic service set (IBSS) in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The receiving station extracts a transmission data rate from an incoming signal, determines a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the incoming signal, and then calculates noise margin information based on a difference between the SNR of the incoming signal and a minimum SNRMIN for the extracted data rate. The noise margin is then transmitted back to the original transmitting station and using the noise margin information, the transmit power level and/or the transmission rate of this station may be adjusted accordingly.
