Patent EP-0940971-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHWEID STUART A
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1999-01-07
Abstract: A system and method which enables the location and orientation of an
image to be determined without introducing scanning artifacts into the rendered
image. The system utilizes a separate set of sensors on a scanning bar that are
sensitive to a wavelength of light outside the range of wavelengths of the typical
sensors found on the scanning bar, such as red, green, or blue. Moreover, the
system includes a light source which is capable of emitting the wavelength of light
that is outside this range of wavelength of light. Thus, whenever the additional
set of sensors detect light, the system would determine that the light was due to a
scanning artifact, such as a hole, rip, or dog ear in the original document being
scanned. Furthermore, the system would include a process which measures the
variations of the image signal in the fastscan and slowscan directions, as well as,
the gray level of the video signal from these various measurements, the system
would develop a cost value as to the certainty as whether the signal represents a
scanning artifact. In such a system, the backing would be embedded with a
pattern which would have a predetermined variation in a fastscan direction but
have little or no variation in a slowscan direction.

Abstract: A halobutyl rubber is generally used in the
innerliner of pneumatic tires to retard the escape of
air used to inflate the tire, thereby maintaining tire
pressure. Since halobutyl rubbers, such as bromobutyl
rubber, are generally the most expensive elastomers
used in tires, it is desirable from a standpoint of
cost reduction to reduce the level of halobutyl
rubbers used in tires. The present invention relates
to a technique for reducing the quantity of halobutyl
rubber utilized in the innerliner of tubeless
pneumatic vehicle tires. The present invention more
specifically relates to a tire innerliner and
pneumatic tires containing the same, which are
prepared from a composition comprising, based on 100
parts by weight of rubber, a blend of (1) about 50
parts to about 90 parts of a halobutyl rubber and (2)
about 10 parts to about 50 parts of a styrene-isoprene-butadiene
terpolymer rubber having a first
glass transition temperature which is within the range
of about -110°C to about -20°C and a second glass
transition temperature which is within the range of
about -50°C to about 0°C, wherein said styrene-isoprene-butadiene
terpolymer rubber contains about 20
weight percent to about 40 weight percent bound
styrene.

Abstract: A method for mounting an electrical connector to a printed circuit board
comprising the steps of: (a) pressing a fold line on the circuit board such that the
circuit board is divided into a primary board and a secondary board; (b) fixing a U-shaped
retainer to the secondary board such that the connector is fixed relative to the
circuit board; (c) performing a first SMT process; (d) performing a second SMT
process after turning the circuit board over; and (e) removing the secondary board and
the retainer simultaneously. Alternatively a second method has the following steps:
   (a) providing a U-shaped retainer having a frangible leg portion such that the retainer
is fixed on the circuit board and temporarily fixes the connector to the circuit board;   (b) performing a first SMT process; (c) performing a second SMT process after
turning the circuit board over; and (d) removing the retainer along the frangible leg
portion. This method allows fixing the connector to the circuit board without
damaging or dropping the connector particularly during the second SMT process.
Therefore, the quality and yield of the circuit board-mounted connectors are enhanced.

Abstract: Method of self-learning for a switching node in a data
transmission network (10) wherein Internet Protocol (IP) data
frames are transmitted between a sending unit (20 or 24) and a
receiving unit (22 or 26) via an ingress switching node (12)
linked to an egress switching node (16 or 18) by a plurality of
intermediate switching nodes (14) interconnected by trunks. The
method consists principally in generating, in the input
port/trunk interface of the switching node, a switch header
including a source identification field, a destination
identification field and a temporary label identifying the flow
of data in response to its first data frame, this first switch
header being concatenated to said data frame before being
transmitted to the router interface of the switching node via
its switch engine when the data frame does not belong to a
known flow of data and the router has to define the routing of
the flow of data. An update message is sent back from the
output trunk/port interface to the input port/trunk interface
to update the latter with the destination identification and
with a switching label replacing the temporary label associated
with the flow of data, in order to transmit the following
frames of the flow of data directly to the trunk/port interface
by using this switching label.
