Abstract: The boot is constituted by an upper (2) with an external sole and a partially elastic lining (10). The lining defines a volume equal to the largest volume of foot which is to be fit in the boot. The lining volume is adjusted to adapt to the actual volume of foot in the boot by a double row of loops (16) with a lace passing through them. The lace has a pulling and locking tab (19) fixed to its upper loop and a self gripping fastener complementary to a similar fastener (7) on the boot tongue. The spacing of the double row of loops to define between the lining and the boot bottom, without lacing together the loops, a volume corresponding to the maximum foot volume to be introduced. When the loops are laced together the enclosed volume then corresponds to the minimum foot volume to be inserted.

Abstract: A system is provided for reading an image stored on a storage layer radiation screen. The system includes a carousel for holding a storage layer radiation screen and a screen scanning system. The screen scanning system includes a carousel mount on which the carousel may be mounted and a rotation mechanism for rotating the carousel mount, rotation of the carousel mount serving to rotate the carousel about a rotational axis which, in turn, causes the screens held on the carousel to move in a circular path about the rotational axis. The carousel is preferably removable from the carousel mount. The screen scanning system also includes an image acquisition optical system positioned adjacent the circular path of the screen, the image acquisition optical system including an excitation system for focusing an excitation beam on a portion of the screen to cause a light emission, and an emission collecting system for collecting the light emitted from the screen. The screen scanning system may further include an optics driver for moving the image acquisition optical system in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the carousel. A method is provided for reading images stored on multiple storage layer radiation screens. The method includes attaching multiple storage layer radiation screens to a carousel, rotating the carousel about a rotational axis such that the screens move in a circular path about the rotational axis, focusing an excitation beam at a point on the circular path such that the portions of the screens passing the point on the circular path emit light, collecting the light emitted, and moving the point on the circular path on which the excitation beam is focused in a direction parallel to the rotational axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gain control method for providing a gain controlled signal representative of a periodic physiological parameter of a patient includes providing a signal characteristic of the periodic physiological parameter. The periodic physiological parameter includes a plurality of periodic cycles. Gain of the signal is updated only once per periodic cycle following detection of a periodic event. The updating is performed by monitoring an amplitude of the signal between detection of periodic events and comparing the amplitude to a gain control amplitude threshold. Gain of the signal is updated as a function of the comparison. Further, gain is updated following expiration of a predetermined period of time if a periodic event is not detected within the predetermined period of time. The physiological parameter may be respiratory effort. An apparatus for providing such gain control is also provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining frequency offsets caused by oscillator error or Doppler effects in a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a communication system. The system (100) includes at least one user terminal (124, 126) and a base station (112), or gateway (120, 122) for communicating with the user terminal (124, 126) through a satellite (116, 118) with predetermined known orbital positions or patterns. A communication signal (130, 132, 146, 148) is precorrected for known Doppler effects, such as between a gateway and a transferring satellite (146, 148), when used, and transmitted to a user terminal. The user terminal (124, 126) determines the signal frequency relative to a reference oscillator (240), and treats any detected difference as resulting completely from Doppler. The frequency difference is either transferred as data in reverse link transmissions (130, 132, 140, 142), or used as a pre-correction factor for such transmissions. The frequency of the reverse link user terminal signals is measured at the gateway (120, 122), again compensating for known Doppler effects, to provide a nominal error measurement. Measured frequency error or offsets are then divided in half to arrive at a Doppler shift error, or divided in half and scaled to the appropriate frequency to arrive at a user terminal oscillator error. The detected error can be transmitted to the user terminal (124, 126) for use in correcting the oscillator output frequency, or for adjusting the timing of, or time tracking for, the user terminal (124, 126). Alternatively, the detected error can be included as data in subsequent signals for use by gateways (120, 122) or base stations (112).

Abstract: The invention is a method of receiving digital data from a Local Switching Office (LSO) on first party equipment that is communicating, in an off-hook state, via the LSO with second party equipment. The method presumes that the first party equipment has a telephone line interface that interfaces with a telephone line and an acoustic transducer interface with a loudspeaker and a microphone. The method generally includes the steps of receiving an alert signal from the LSO, temporarily preventing a first party signal from being transmitted to the line interface after receiving the alert signal, sending an acknowledgment signal to the LSO via the line interface, transmitting a pre-determined comfort signal to the loudspeaker via the acoustic transducer interface while receiving the digital data via the telephone line interface to inform the user that the digital data is being received while relieving the user from having to hear the actual reception of the digital data, or from listening to a silent loudspeaker, and finally, after receiving the digital data via the telephone line interface, restoring the first party signal through the line interface, and no longer transmitting the predetermined comfort signal to the loudspeaker. The digital data may contain, for example, caller ID information as transmitted to a Type 2 telephone capable of receiving such information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus uses an ink ribbon (7) having a plurality of ink layers (72) of different colors, and a long, film-like intermediate transfer medium (6). A platen (10) for holding the intermediate transfer medium (6) during transfer is driven by a motor (50) via a synchronous reduction gear (51 - 58) whose speed reducing ratio is an integer multiple. The ink ribbon (7) is selectively heated by a thermal head (38) having substantially regular polygonal or substantially circular heat-generating portions (38a). Under the control of a controller (C1), the thermal head (38) is driven on the basis of image information, and a record image containing an area gradation image is formed on the intermediate transfer medium (6). This area gradation image has a color set by stacking dots having different colors in substantially the same spot. The intermediate transfer medium (6) on which the record image is formed is overlapped on a target body (1) and heated and pressed by a heat roller (40), thereby transferring the record image from the intermediate transfer medium (6) onto the target body (1). <IMAGE>
