Abstract: When a battery is in standby mode, a microcomputer switches to sleep mode
if no charging/discharging current is supplied within a predetermined time, and
controls a timer so as to start measuring the standby time of the battery. When a
charging/discharging current is supplied, the microcomputer switches to wake-up
mode, and controls the timer so as to stop measuring the standby time. Then, the
microcomputer reads the measured standby time. Based on the read standby time,
the microcomputer calculates the correction value to correct the currently stored
remaining battery capacity value.

Abstract: The invention which is the subject of this application relates to
particularly, although not necessarily exclusively, a form of
apparatus known as VSAT. VSAT or Very Small Aperture
Terminal is a sophisticated communications technology that
allows for the use of small fixed satellite antennas in premises to
provide highly reliable communication between a central hub
such as a data broadcaster, and almost any number - tens or
thousands - of geographically dispersed sites or premises. The
invention allows the provision of a Ground Outdoor Unit ODU
for the apparatus in an integrated format without the need for
separate components to be provided by using progressive
amplification and filtering of the transmit or received signal and
allowing the required isolation of the receive and transmit
signals even at the VSAT apparatus operating conditions. The
invention is also of use in any form of signal receive and
transmit apparatus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'émission et de réception d'information numérique dans lequel on utilise des parties inutilisées de canaux de communication actuellement autorisés dans le but d'établir une connexion avec un réseau en boucle local. Des parties des canaux de communication accordés aux télédiffuseurs ultra-haute fréquence (UHF) restent inutilisées à l'heure actuelle et la présente invention permet d'utiliser ces parties pour établir une connexion en boucle locale grande vitesse avec un réseau. Cette connexion grande vitesse peut supporter des services téléphoniques câblés commutés numériques; des services de données de télémesure et grande vitesse; des services de télévision, de vidéo à la demande et de télévision numérique; et l'intégration de stations de base sans fil dans le réseau téléphonique commuté. Le coût capital des connexions en boucle locales à large bande sans fil obtenues est inférieur à celui des technologies conventionnelles actuelles.

Title: Dispositif et methode de diagnostics integres a circuits d'ecoulement independants multiples

IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des méthodes permettant d'effectuer des analyses afin de déterminer la présence ou la concentration d'un analyte spécifique étudié dans un échantillon liquide. Selon l'invention, deux circuits d'écoulement séparés sont établis séquentiellement dans le dispositif au moyen d'une étape d'activation unique. Le premier circuit d'écoulement distribue l'analyte étudié (s'il est présent dans l'échantillon) et des réactifs de liaison solubles conjugués à la phase solide. Si l'analyte est présent, un complexe conjugué/analyte se forme et est immobilisé. Le volume de l'échantillon distribué par le premier circuit est déterminé par la capacité d'absorption de la phase solide et non pas par la dose d'échantillon ajoutée au dispositif, ce qui évite à l'utilisateur de devoir mesurer l'échantillon. Le mélange échantillon/conjugué ne peut pas pénétrer dans le second circuit d'écoulement, car la capillarité et la tension superficielle du second circuit d'écoulement empêchent que l'échantillon ne se mouille. Le second circuit d'écoulement permet à un tampon de lavage d'éliminer le conjugué et l'échantillon non lié de la phase solide de l'absorbant et éventuellement d'obtenir des réactifs de détection.
