Patent CA-2296407-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VIKENE MICHAEL
IPC: G03B27/46
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: Prints of at least partially different formats are produced by pixel by pixel recording of image information available in digital form for each picture onto a carrier material from a group of essentially band-shaped standard carrier materials with different preselected strip widths. The image information of a print is recorded in a normal orientation or rotated by 90° relative thereto when thereby one of the dimensions of the print to be produced can be made to correspond with the strip width of the axially available carrier material. The carrier material is changed when neither the length nor the width of a print to be produced corresponds to the strip width of the axially available carrier material. For a set of pictures to be produced which have at least partially different formats, the sequence of the recording of their underlying picture information is set according to the formats of the prints to be produced so that the number of the required carrier material change is minimized. The prints are thereby assigned according to their format to width classes which correspond to the different length and width values of the print. The frequencies of the different length and width values of the prints are determined and all those prints are respectively assigned the individual width classes which have a length or width corresponding to the value of the respective width class, whereby the assignment to one width class is carried out by ranking of the frequency of the value corresponding to the width class. The prints are then recorded by width class onto a standard carrier material corresponding to the respective width class. (Figure 2)

Abstract: The present invention takes advantage of a quadratic-only ambiguity for xcoordinates in elliptic curve algebra as a means for encrypting plaintext directly onto elliptic curves. The encrypting of plaintext directly onto elliptic curves if refered to herein as "direct embedding". When performing direct embedding, actual plaintext is embedded as a "+" or "-" x-coordinate. The sender specifies using an extra bit whether + or - is used so that the receiver can decrypt appropriately. In operation their are two public initial x-coordinates such that two points P1+ and P1- lie respectively on two curves E+ and E-. A parcel of text xtext is selected that is no more than q bits in length. The curve (E+ or E-) that contains xtext is determined. A random number r is chosen and used to generate a coordinate xq using the public key of a receiving party. An elliptic add operation is used with the coordinate xq and the parcel of text to generate a message coordinate xm. A clue xc is generated using the random number and the point P from the appropriate curve E+/-. The sign that holds for xtext is determined and called g. The message coordinate mm, the clue xc, and the sign g are sent as a triple to the receiving party. The receiving party uses the clue xc and its private key to generate coordinate xq. Using the sign g and coordinate xq, the text can be recovered.

Title: Process for the production of graded-index profiles in polymeric optical fibres
Inventor: KAUFHOLD JURGEN
IPC: B29C71/04
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of graded-index profiles in polymeric optical fibres. The process is based on the fact that ionizing radiation causes an increase in the refractive index, for example in PMMA. Therefore, polymeric optical fibres, preforms or fibre-core preforms are irradiated with ionizing radiation of predetermined wavelength and dose while being moved past the radiation source in the longitudinal direction at a given speed and are subsequently tempered for a defined length of time. Through the control of the spatial distribution of the ionizing radiation by means of mirrors, lenses or aperture systems, a uniform radial graded-index profile is produced over the entire fibre length, with the result that the polymeric fibre, used as an optical waveguide, has considerably improved transmission characteristics for optical signals.

Abstract: A webbing take-up device which, when a webbing belt is pulled out, can reduce urging force applied in a direction of taking up the webbing belt.      When a spiral spring 48 rotates an adapter 44 with a plunger 70 engages a ratchet wheel 52, a torsion coil spring 56 is wound tighter on the adapter 44.   A resultant force of frictional force at this time and urging force of the torsion coil spring 60 which is fit tightly to adapters 30, 44 is greater than urging force of the spiral spring 48. Thus, the torsion coil spring 60 is slack, and the adapter 30 rotates relatively to the adapter 44. In this way, until the torsion coil spring 60 is fit tightly to the adapters 30, 44, even if the webbing belt 26 is pulled out, urging, force of the spiral spring 48 is not applied to a spool 20.

Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to prevent outside air from entering the bypass pipe portion when air is taken in the vessel for the prevention of a negative pressure, and thereby to secure normal, smooth liquid-discharging operation in the upside-down position of the vessel. For this purpose, the vessel equipped with a manual pump is also provided with a change-over valve unit 20 to switch the liquid supply to the manual pump 1 in response to the change in the posture of the vessel from the upright position to the upside-down position, and vice versa, so that the vessel can be used to discharge forcibly the liquid even in its upside-down position. In such a vessel, the channel taking outside air into the vessel 50 for preventing a negative pressure has an opening to the vessel 50 at the rear of the cap unit 40. The change-over valve unit 20 is attached to the cap unit 40 from downside in a posture tilted forward and downward so that the outside air rising to the liquid surface in the form of bubbles would not come close to the liquid intake slits of the change-over valve unit 20. It was also made easy for the check valve of the change-over valve unit 20 to sit stably on the valve seat.
