Abstract: Three dimensional biometric scanner (1) for the capillary mapping of the palm of the hand (2) incorporates two image sensors (5, 6) configured for obtaining a stereoscopic image of a vascular map and where for each image corresponding to each wave length, the depth of each point on the plane is known. Grouping the N images corresponding to the emitted wave N longitudes, a 3D map of the palm of the hand veins is achieved. To achieve a stereoscopic image, a fixed distance (d) between the image sensors (5,6) is needed to be able to calculate the depth of the biometric recognition element Z component.

Abstract: A reinforcement (18) is attached to the right angle corner between the right rear side column material (10) and the right underside beam material (15) which form the cab (5) frame of a hydraulic shovel (1) so that buckling of the thin right underside beam material (15) can be prevented. The reinforcement (18) is made to penetrate through a penetrate portion (15d) formed on the upper side surface of the right underside beam material body (15a) so that the second bent surface portion (18b) formed on the reinforcement (18) is abutted against the lower side surface of the right underside beam material body (15a), and a thick floor plate (20) is abutted against the lower side surface of the right underside beam material body (15a). Consequently, when a load works in the direction for decreasing the angle between the right rear side column material (10) and the right underside beam material (15), the load is received by the floor plate (20) and even if the right underside beam material (15) is a thin hollow material having weak strength, the right underside beam material (15) is not buckled but protected thus achieving an increase in the strength of the cab (5).

Abstract: The invention provides a multi-carrier system for use in an optical network adapted to transmit and/or receive signals, said system comprising means for recovering multiple phase-synchronised sub-carriers from at least one signal in the network; means for recovering a clock signal from the sub-carriers and determining the frequency and the phase change between sub-carriers; and means for compensating the signal using said clock signal. The clock signal can be re-used for new generation of same frequency spacing subcarriers (and phase-locked) to the original signal. Any fluctuations of both frequency and the phase from the original phase-synchronised signal is transferred also to the clock signal, and therefore, using appropriate feedback electronics, compensation can be provided at a transmitter/receiver. Suitable for Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Coherent WDM multi-carrier systems.

Abstract: Aspects relate to initiating voice calls to mobile devices from an enterprise network. In one example, a server can initiate a voice channel to a mobile device, and if the mobile device cannot be reached, an access network may redirect the call from the server to a number identified as a voicemail number; however, such number is reconfigured to instead be directed to a number located within the enterprise network. The server can monitor or receive an indication that a call is incoming, and attributable to the mobile device. If such a call is incoming or received, then the server determines that the call has failed. If the mobile device answers the call, the server can determine that the voice channel has been established, without waiting for a confirmation indication, such as a DTMF tone.

Abstract: The device has inner and outer spacers (22, 23) resting on inner and outer rings (14-17) of upper and lower rolling bearings (13, 12) respectively. Lengths of the inner and outer spacers are adjusted to limit variations in rigid preload caused by temperature gradients between two points of the bearing to less than 30 percent. Effect of differential axial expansion of the spacers on the preload in a direction of an increased preload offsets the effect of differential radial expansion of the rings on the preload along lines of a decreased preload.
