Title: Buried object evaluation method
Inventor: OGURA KAZUMASA
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2004-09-20
Abstract: As a method for using a hard X-ray sensor that can detect weak hard X-rays or the like with a higher resolution, a method for accurately evaluating natural resources of crude oil, natural gas, etc. existing underground, for example, is provided. A buried object evaluating method is characterized in comprising a detecting step of arranging a radiation detector to be opposed to a hard X-ray source radiating first hard X-rays with a buried object buried in a first substance being interposed between the radiation detector and the radiation source and, by using the radiation detector, detecting second hard X-rays transmitted through the buried object out of the first hard X-rays and third hard X-rays not transmitted through the buried object, and an evaluating step of evaluating the buried object based on a strength of the first hard X-rays and a strength of the second hard X-rays detected by the radiation detector.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une solution de bromure 3M V(IV) dans un mélange 3-4M HBr/HC1 qui est ajoutée aux deux côtés d'une batterie ou d'une pile à circulation. Lors du chargement total de la pile, la solution de bromure vanadium (IV) est réduite pour produire du 3M VBr¿2? dans la demi-pile négative, tandis que les ions bromure dans la demi-pile positive sont oxydisés pour produire du 1,5M Br¿3??-¿ ou ClBr¿2??-¿. Lors de la décharge, le VBr¿2? est oxydisé en VBr¿3? dans la demi-pile négative, tandis que les ions Br¿3??-¿ ou ClBR¿2??-¿ sont réduits en ions Br?-¿ dans la demi-pile positive. Ladite pile comprend un feutre de carbone ou de graphite fixé sur du plastique ou des feuilles de plastique conductrices utilisées en tant que matière support et les deux demi-piles sont séparées par une membrane échangeuse d'anions ou de cations.

Title: System and method for building wireless applications with intelligent mapping between user interface and data components
Inventor: GORING BRYAN R
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A system and method is described for effective management of a User Interface (UI) of a wireless device by implementing direct mapping between the application data domain and UI screens and controls. The device has an intelligent wireless device runtime environment (Device Runtime) that provides a set of basic services to manage the wireless application, including a series of linked screen and data component definitions, and their interactions can simplify the development effort and reduce resource allocation. The data domain for this category of applications is defined using the atomic data component definitions. The communication between a device user interface and data components is defined using atomic screen component definitions. Both screen and data component definitions are described in metadata using a structured definition language such as XML. The relationships between the screen and data component definitions are embedded in the XML definitions in the form of screen/data mappings. Typically, rendered screens for display are derived from some underlying data component and screens controls affected by user events impact the current state (or data representation) of the application Changes to the application domain data are automatically synchronized with the user interface, and user-entered data is automatically reflected in the application domain data. The primary mechanism behind this synchronization is the mapping of screens and data. This mechanism enables creation of dynamic and interactive screens. All changes to the data component can be immediately reflected on the screen and vice versa. This model allows building effective wireless applications based on server-to-device notifications. The data updates asynchronously pushed from the server are instantaneously reflected at the UI screen.

Title: Recirculation system
Inventor: BELL ROBERT JAMES
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 2005-02-28
Abstract: A system for receiving effluent from an apparatus, for example, a sterilizer, sterilizer unit or sterilizer system, or other device(s), that initially determines the temperature of the effluent. If the effluent temperature is such that the effluent is "hot", the effluent it is not suitable for reuse, and the effluent is sent to be tempered, such that it cold enough to be released into a drain, whereby it will not damage the drain. If the effluent temperature is such that the effluent is "cold", the effluent is suitable for reuse and therefore, will be recirculated to the device. The effluent moves into a holding tank, where it combines with water, and is pumped to the apparatus.

Title: Method and apparatus for enhanced audio/video services with watermarks and associated data
Inventor: WONFOR PETER
IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlled copying of an audio or video signal transmitted over a cable television or direct satellite broadcast system or the Internet. Copyrighted (or other) audio or video material is protected from unwanted copying (recording) by the combination of a watermark embedded in the audio or video signal at the head end together with additional copy protection data inserted in the audio or video signal, either a ticket or a second watermark. Video line (21) in the vertical blanking interval for (NTSC TV) is used to hold the ticket (cryptographic counter). An audio or video watermark is embedded in the active portion of the audio or video signal. Only if the consumer is willing to p ay a fee is the video signal with both the watermark and the ticket transmitted to his recording device which then matches the watermark to a mathematical function of the ticket, and only if they match is recording permitted. Alternatively, this consumer control may operate on a second watermark in the audio or video. The corresponding playback device outputs an audio or video signal which does not have the ticket and hence no further copying is permitted. This enables a single copy to be made upon payment.

Title: System and method for communicating digital information using time-and-frequency-bounded base functions
Inventor: BOASSON ERIK
IPC: H04J1/12
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: Systems and methods for efficiently conveying one or more broadband communication channels over a transmission medium. Communication is effected by transforming an incoming digital bit stream into a Time-and-Frequency- Bounded (TFB) information stream that includes a plurality of TFB packets. This transformation is accomplished through the use of a plurality of TFB basis functions. The TFB information stream is then transmitted over the transmission medium. More particularly, digital bit streams carried on one o r more incoming channels are in the form of binary "on" and "off" bits. These digital bits are converted into a plurality of TFB waveform components which together comprise a TFB packet. The conversion process maps each of respecti ve incoming digital bits to a corresponding one of a group of TFB functions, su ch that a first group of n bits is mapped to a first TFB function, a second gro up is mapped to a second TFB function, and so on, until the Nth TFB function is reached, whereupon the process cycles back to the first TFB function. In any case, the value or status of a group of bits is represented by a correspondi ng weighing factor for the corresponding TFB function. When weighed, each respective TFB function specifies the transmission of a corresponding TFB waveform component. Eachwaveform component is substantially confined within a range of values in both the frequency and time domains.
