Patent EP-0729264-A3 (EP)
Inventor: RUBLEY JOHN S
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1995-06-13
Abstract: An optical scanning apparatus for retrieving digital electronic images representative
of opaque and transmissive objects. The apparatus is equipped with a reflective scanning
platform for scanning documents and photographs and a docking port for receiving a
transmissive scanning platform for scanning transparencies and slides. A scanning camera
equipped with light sources for illuminating the respective platforms may be aligned by the
operator to retrieve images from either the reflective scanning platform or from the
transmissive scanning platform. An optical switch which is included within the optical
pathway selectively toggles the view of the scanning camera between the reflective platform
and the transparent platform. An operator using a control panel button or software can
selectively scan either type of object. The choice of two scanning platforms optimizes the
digital image quality for each type of media.

Abstract: A data acquiring apparatus is disclosed. A comm
control portion (1), coupled to a network (N), controls
comm with the network; a mail box portion (2) stores at
least a block of data (13) from N. An enciphering portion
(5) enciphers the block of data from the mail box. A mail
box control portion (3) displays a portion of the block of
data from the mail box portion on the display in response
to a 1st request (8d) via an input portion, controls the
mail box, supplies the block of data to the enciphering
portion in response to a 2nd request (8e) from the input
portion, and operates the enciphering portion to encipher
the block of data from the mail block. A filing unit (4)
stores the block of data from the enciphering portion. A
decoding portion (7) decodes and displays the block of data
from the filing unit on the display portion in response to
a 3rd request (8f) from the input portion to provide the
decoded block of data to a user. The supplied block of

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal
display device which is capable of suppressing occurrence
of an electric field between a metal light shielding layer
and a metal interconnecting layer in a peripheral circuit
portion, and preventing disconnection of the metal
interconnecting layer due to corrosion, and which has
improved reliability under conditions where light and heat
are present. In the liquid crystal display device, a
metal light shielding layer (15) is formed in a pattern reverse
to a metal interconnecting layer (13) on the metal
interconnecting layer on the driving substrate side. The
potential of the metal light shielding layer (15) is set to the
same potential as the potential V SS  of the metal
interconnecting layer (13). On the metal light shielding
layer (15) is provided a transparent electrode (17) through a
flattening film (16). The transparent electrode (17) is set to the
same potential (= the potential of auxiliary capacity C S )
as a counter electrode (19) on the counter substrate (20) side.
Since no potential difference occurs between the metal
light shielding layer (15) and the metal interconnecting layer (13),
even under conditions where water, impurities, light and
heat are present, no chemical reaction (corrosion) takes
place due to the occurrence of an electric field, thereby
eliminating the possibility of disconnection of the metal
interconnecting layer (13).

Abstract: Beschrieben wird eine Schaltungsanordnung mit wenigstens zwei Signalpfaden, die
durch je eine steuerbare Stromquelle zu speisen und durch jeweils eine der
steuerbaren Stromquellen auswählende Logiksignale wechselweise wirksam zu
schalten sind, wobei beim Übergang von einem Signalpfad auf einen anderen

IPC: H04M7/12

Abstract: A method of providing a service, such as local number portability (LNP), in a switched
telecommunications system, in which a message interceptor is disposed in a signalling
link of an SS7 signalling network of the system. The message interceptor detects calls
for which service implementation is required, by comparing the content of intercepted
circuit-related SS7 messages with service trigger conditions, such as message type
(checked directly by the interceptor) and message content (e.g. called number, which the
interceptor checks by reference to a database). When service implementation is detected
as being required, the message interceptor may implement at least part of the required
service by modifying parameters of the intercepted message; alternatively, the
interceptor may re-direct the message to a service control function for service
implementation. The invention enables services to be implemented without incurring
inefficient use of core network resources, and without expensive and time-consuming
modification of switch and SCP control software.

Abstract: At motor driven trucks where the load forks may reach
forwards in relation to the truck this is done by means of a
hydraulic cylinder (2). The volume of hydraulic oil fed to this
cylinder is measured (7) via the voltage of an electric motor
driving the hydraulic pump (1), the motor may in particular be a
DC motor. By then integrating the voltage over the time a measure
is obtained corresponding to the oil volume delivered to or drawn
from the cylinder and corresponds in turn to the piston position.
The position measurement is then used for speed ramping at the
end of stroke of the piston so that shock free movement stops can
be obtained.
