Abstract: A flat panel display apparatus comprises plasma discharge cells, which formed between a first base plate and a second base plate. The first base plate has pairs of sustain electrodes (2b, 2c), and a second base plate has data electrodes (1b). Between said electrodes (2b, 2c, 1b) discharge volumes are formed. The device further has a drive circuit which comprises a circuit for providing data to the discharge cells. The display device comprises a conductive layer (51) on the first or second substrate for both of a pair of sustain electrodes (2b, 2c). Said conductive layer (51) extends outside the discharge volume (4) and forms an internal capacitance (Cpar) in the display device which capacitance is in parallel to the capacitance formed in operation by the pair of sustain electrodes (2b, 2c) and the discharge (4).

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and reagents useful in modulating hepatitis C virus (HCV) gene expression in a variety of applications, including use in therapeutic, diagnostic, target validation, and genomic discovery applications. Specifically, the invention relates to small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules capable of mediating RNA interference (RNAi) against hepatitis C virus (HCV) gene expression and/or activity. The small nucleic acid molecules are useful in the treatment and diagnosis of HCV infection, liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma, cirrhosis and any other disease or condition that responds to modulation of HCV expression or activity.

Abstract: A record carrier and a device for recording and/or reading the record carrier are described. The record carrier has a track for recording information represented by marks (8). The device has an optical head with a laser for generating a beam via a scanning spot on the track to a detector for detecting a read signal. A sensor (33) detects a sense signal (32) from the beam (24) and a control unit controls the laser power to a desired value. The device has a correction unit for generating a correction signal. This signal depends on local optical properties of the record carrier derived from the sense signal measured on at least one part of the track near the scanning spot (23). The device corrects the power control or other detected signals while using the correction signal. Furthermore, the record carrier can have prerecorded control parameters for setting the correction unit.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for bridging mobile phone
networks with other telephone networks. A telephone network comprises multiple
individually addressable telephone lines connected to telephones and to a gateway,
which in turn is connected to one or more mobile phones and potentially to one or
more landlines. When the gateway receives an inbound call from one of the mobile
phones, or an outbound call from one or the telephones, the gateway applies routing
rules to determine how to route the call. Routing may depend on a variety of factors,
such as time of day, cost, the mobile phone receiving an inbound call. To help
identify the mobile phone as the source of an inbound call, a distinctive ring may be
selected. To account for differences in the mobile phone network and the telephone
network, the gateway translates signals between the two networks.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de commande adaptative et un procédé permettant de commander la vitesse d'avance pour obtenir une charge cible de broche lors d'opérations d'usinage. Ce système de commande adaptative peut comprendre une fonction de contrôle de la charge qui permet de contrôler activement un signal de charge d'entrée provenant d'un entraînement de broche (126) et de déterminer si des niveaux d'avertissement et d'alarme ont été dépassés. Si la charge d'entrée contrôlée excède le niveau d'avertissement défini, une sortie d'avertissement est activée et maintenue jusqu'à ce que la charge d'entrée redescende au-dessous dudit niveau d'avertissement. Si la charge d'entrée contrôlée excède le niveau d'alarme défini, la sortie d'alarme et la sortie d'arrêt d'avance sont activées et maintenues jusqu'à ce qu'une réinitialisation de l'unité de commande adaptative soit demandée. Les opérations normales de coupe ne peuvent pas reprendre tant que les conditions qui ont déclenché le niveau d'alarme ne sont pas supprimées. Une commande adaptative des opérations de la machine-outil (128) est réalisée par contrôle de la charge d'entrée et modification de la vitesse d'avance d'après un algorithme de commande proportionnelle, intégrale et dérivée (PID) (104, 106, 108). L'unité de commande adaptative (60) contrôle la charge d'entrée jusqu'à ce qu'une limite d'armement soit dépassée, puis ladite unité exécute l'algorithme de commande PID pour calculer une nouvelle vitesse d'avance permettant à la charge d'entrée d'obtenir la valeur requise par l'utilisateur. Une application d'interface permet à l'utilisateur de définir et visualiser des registres et l'état d'entrée/sortie de l'unité de commande adaptative (60). Ce système de commande adaptative peut être entièrement intégré dans le système de gestion d'une machine-outil ou il peut être intégré avec des interfaces d'outils sur mesure. Il peut également être mis en oeuvre au moyen d'une interface manuelle fournie à l'opérateur sans liaison avec des données d'outillage.
