Abstract: A method for writing streaming audiovisual data to a disk drive is performed by
organizing the data into clusters and commencing writing the clusters to the first physical
sector encountered after the read/write head has settled to the desired track on the rotating
disk. A cluster contains a number of data blocks corresponding to the number of physical
sectors in an integer number of tracks on the disk, so that the writing of a single cluster is the
writing to an integer number of full tracks on the disk. Even though the disk drive may have
a physical index to identify the first physical sector in all the tracks, the writing of cluster data
takes place without regard to index position. During interleaving of audiovisual data, when
multiple recording tasks are cycled until all the tasks are completed, the clusters in the first
portion of the first task are written during the first interleave period, the head is then
positioned to another track where the clusters in the first portion of the second task are written
during the next interleave period, beginning with the first physical sector encountered by the
head, again without waiting for index. The location where the first block of cluster data has
been written is identified by writing a block number into the physical sector or by writing a
start of cluster indicator on the track where the cluster is written.

Abstract: An electrical signal regenerator contains an equalizer and a clock data
recovery circuit, whereby the latter is selected when an input signal of a higher
bitrate multiplex level is detected and bypassed when an input signal of a
lower bitrate multiplex signal is detected. This regenerator can advantageously
be used in a bitrate-transparent asynchronous switch for signals of the new
OTN according to ITU-T G.709. In particular, received optical signals undergo
O/E conversion and are fed to an asynchronous space switching matrix
operable to randomly switch signals from any to any port of the crossconnect.
The switching matrix contains a number of switch modules electrically
interconnected by means of internal electrical signal paths such as a
backplane or electrical cables. An electrical signal regenerator is coupled to
each input of a switching module.

Abstract: Mannosylglycerate (MG) is a mannose derivative compound that has been found in many thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms, where it accumulates concomitantly with salt stress conditions. This solute has been recently demonstrated as an excellent stabilizer of enzymes against thermal stress in vitro. To date, MG has been only detected in thermophilic or hyperthermophilic prokaryotes but not in mesophilic prokaryotes. The genes responsible for the synthesis of the compound only recently began to be characterized. We identified in the genome sequence from the mesophilic bacterium Dehalococcoides ethenogenes a bifunctional mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase (mpgs) and mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase (mpgp) gene. Cloning and transformation of this gene into Saccharomyces cerevisiae provided the organism with the ability to synthesize MG, which is suitable for industrial production of MG.

Abstract: For tuning an LC resonator (2) which particularly comprises a
miniaturised antenna coil (L A ), a variable capacitance (C T ) is connected in
parallel to the LC resonator (2). At manufacturing time, a maximum resonance
frequency of the LC resonator (2) is measured when the variable capacitance
(C T ) is set to its minimum value, a minimum resonance frequency of the LC
resonator (2) is measured when the variable capacitance (C T ) is set to its
maximum value, and coded values of the measured maximum and minimum
resonance frequencies are stored in non-volatile memories (F min , F max ). At
operations time, a binary tuning code (B) is computed as a linear interpolation
between the stored values of the minimum and maximum resonance
frequencies for a target resonance frequency (f t ). The LC resonator (2) is tuned
to the target resonance frequency (f t ) by selectively connecting separate binary
weighted capacitors (C n-1 , ..., C 2 , C 1 , C 0 ) of the variable capacitance(C T )in
parallel to the LC resonator (2) in accordance with the value of the computed
binary tuning code (B).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transport de passagers (PTS) qui comprend au moins un ensemble de deux bandes transporteuses mobiles sans fin (3a-3c) ou plus, avançant généralement parallèlement l'une à l'autre dans un plan généralement horizontal ou un plan incliné par rapport à l'horizontal, selon un angle inférieur à 30 degrés. Bien que les bandes soient proches l'une de l'autre, elles avancent à des vitesses différentes. Une première zone de plate-forme fixe (7) proche des bandes transporteuses constitue au moins un zone de départ. La disposition est telle qu'un passager se trouvant sur la première zone de plate-forme fixe peut monter sur une première bande transporteuse plus lente à partir du point d'entrée qu'il souhaite. Il peut ensuite parcourir sur la première bande transporteuse plus lente une première distance choisie. Au cours du transit, il peut également passer librement et en fonction de son déplacement sur une deuxième bande transporteuse plus rapide. Il parcourt ensuite sur cette seconde bande transporteuse plus rapide une deuxième distance souhaitée, et peut passer sur une troisième bande transporteuse encore plus rapide que les premières pour parcourir une troisième distance à une vitesse encore plus élevée. L'opération inverse lui permet de se déplacer librement d'une bande transporteuse plus rapide, ou de la bande transporteuse la plus rapide, à une bande transporteuse plus lente, ou à la bande transporteuse la plus lente. Dans le cas ou l'ensemble est constitué de trois bandes transporteuses ou plus, le déplacement se fait soit vers l'avant soit vers l'arrière au moyen d'une ou de plusieurs bandes transporteuses avançant à une vitesse intermédiaire entre les bandes transporteuses les plus lentes et les plus rapides. Enfin, le passager peut passer d'une bande transporteuse plus lente, ou de la bande transporteuse la plus lente, à une seconde zone de plate-forme fixe éloignée de ladite première zone de plate-forme fixe et comportant au moins une zone d'arrivée au niveau du point de sortie désiré.
