Title: Methode d'affectation de canaux dans un systeme de communication mobile a acces multiples par repartition dans l'espace
Inventor: PIOLINI FLAVIO
IPC: H04B7/24
Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: Dans un système de communication mobile à accès multiple par répartition dans l'espace fonctionnant en mode d'utilisation simultanée de canaux, le canal à affecter à un terminal est choisi après une évaluation du coût de l'affectation de chaque canal déjà en cours d'utilisation. Ce coût est fonction du temps écoulé moyen entre deux affectations de canal successives au terminal en cause et permet de déterminer le canal où ce temps peut être maximisé. L'évaluation se fait au moyen de coefficients de coût qui tiennent compte de la topologie de la cellule et de la mobilité des terminaux et qui sont déterminés dans la phase d'initialisation du système par une subdivision de la cellule en secteurs et par la détection des instants de collision entre les terminaux.

Title: Apparatus for holding a compact disk
Inventor: FARRAR PETER ANTONY
IPC: B65D85/57
Filed: 1997-04-11
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a base portion (2) and at least two arms (1) resiliently cantilevered from the base portion (2), the inner ends of the arms (1) forming a button-like member (4) and each having a projection (4A) for engaging on the outwardly facing surface of a compact disk (10) held on the apparatus. Depression of the button-like member (4) causes the projections (4A) to move towards each other until their engagement on the disk (10) is released. An upstand (6) surrounds the disk (10) and is positioned close thereto so as to restrict movement of the disk (10) within its own plane. The inner ends (4) of the arms (1) may be shaped to reduce the risk of forces applied thereto in the plane of the disk (10) causing the disk (10) to be released. Finger recesses (6A) in the upstand may be formed so as to inhibit access to the edge of a disk (10) whilst held by the apparatus but provide access thereto once the disk (10) has been released. 3-arm release mechanisms are also described.

Abstract: There  is  disclosed  an  oxygen  sensor  disposed before an exhaust gas purifying catalyst of an engine which  uses  a hydrocarbon containing fuel with a  H/C ratio of three or more.  An oxygen sensor 1 is provided with a solid electrolytic body 2 which can generate a difference in oxygen concentration with reference gas and  measured  gas,  a  reference  electrode  3  and  a detection electrode 4 formed on inner and outer surfaces of  the  solid  electrolytic  body  2,  and  a  porous protective layer 5 for covering the detection electrode 4.  The detection electrode 4 is formed only of a metal like Pt which promotes oxidizing reaction of methane to have a thickness of 1 to 2 µm.  In the protective layer 5, only a second protective layer 5b carries Pt catalyst 6 which promotes oxidizing reaction of hydrogen, and the amount of carried catalyst is in the range of 0.5 to 7 mol%  relative to the whole of the second protective layer 5b.  According to the oxygen sensor 1, even if a large amount of hydrogen is exhausted, for example, from CNG engine,  or even if a large amount of methane is exhausted, an excellent engine control can be realized.

Title: Production of attenuated respiratory syncytial virus vaccines from cloned nucleotide sequences
Inventor: JUHASZ KATALIN
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: Attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and vaccine compositions thereof are produced by introducing specific mutations associated with attenuating phenotypes into wild-type or RSV which is incompletely attenuated by coldpassage or introduction of mutations which produce virus having a temperature sensitive (ts) or cold adapted (ca) phenotype. Alternatively, recombinant RSV and vaccine compositions thereof incorporate attenuating and other mutations specifying desired structural and or phenotypic characteristics in an infectious RSV. Recombinant RSV incorporate desired mutations specified by insertion, deletion, substitution or rearrangement of a selected nucleotide sequence, gene, or gene segment in an infectious RSV clone. The immune system of an individual is stimulated to induce protection against natural RSV infection, or multivalently against infection by RSV and another pathogen, such as PIV, by administration of attenuated, biologically derived or recombinant RSV.

Title: A method and system for generating a stereoscopic image of a garment
Inventor: SAKAGUCHI YOSHIYUKI
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: A 3D image of an object model and images of patterns of a garment are generated.  The images of the respective patterns are three-dimensionally deformed by arranging them in corresponding portions of the 3D image of the object model  in  an  image  space,  and  calculating  collision deformations caused when the respective patterns are pressed against the corresponding portions based on an externally  inputted  information  on the  garment.   A stereoscopic  image  of  the  garment  is  generated  by connecting the deformed 3D  images of the respective patterns based on the information on the garment.  Since the pattern images of the garment are so deformed as to be put on the object model ina virtual space of the computer graphics and the stereoscopic image of the garment is generated by connecting the deformed pattern images of the garment, there can be generated a stereoscopic image of the garment realistically representing a state of the garment when the garment is actually put on the object.
