Abstract: L'invention concerne un terminal point de vente (10) qui produit le prix d'achat d'un bien, puis un prix arrondi. Ce prix arrondi peut par exemple être le nombre entier le plus faible immédiatement supérieur au prix d'achat. Le terminal point de vente (10) calcule ensuite un montant arrondi (la monnaie due au client) égal à la différence entre le prix d'achat et le prix arrondi. La valeur (414) du bon de réduction est alors fixée sur la base de ce montant arrondi. Le bon de réduction (410) peut par exemple représenter trois fois la valeur de la monnaie devant être rendue. Le terminal point de vente (10) imprime sur ce bon de réduction (410) un identificateur, par exemple un code à barres (372), sur la base de la valeur (414) du bon. Ce code à barres (372) permet à un terminal point de vente (10) de lire ce bon de réduction (410) lorsqu'un client se fait rembourser ce dernier.

IPC: G06N7/02
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: An automated system for identifying selectively related database records as determined by the user. The invention can be used with a wide variety of different types of data in nearly any industry. The system has the capability of using either a matching technique for a specifically targeted data record or a clustering technique to identify groups or clusters of related records in a database. The relationship between each of the various records in a given database is determined by a value of importance and matching method that are assigned by the user to each data field contained within the database record.  The system uses the value of importance and the matching method to calculate a degree of belonging value ("DOB") between the database records and a specifically targeted record or a plurality of reference points disbursed throughout the range of data. The database records' DOBs are then used by the system to identify related database records. The invention concludes by producing a tabulation of related database records for easy analysis or verification by the user. In this manner, related records in a database may be readily identified which would otherwise likely be overlooked when using conventional query methods.

Inventor: PERRAS MICHEL R
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un procédé permettant de remédier efficacement à la contamination de sols par certains ions métalliques, qu'il s'agisse d'ions individuels ou d'un mélange. Le procédé en question consiste à utiliser des plantes du genre Pelargonium afin d'accumuler dans leurs racines et leurs pousses de très grandes quantités d'ions métalliques. Ces plantes, lorsqu'elles poussent sur des sols contenant un ou plusieurs types d'ions métalliques, qu'il s'agisse de types individuels ou d'un mélange complexe, ont la propriété d'absorber les ions métalliques par leurs racines et de les déplacer dans leurs pousses. Ce processus entraîne l'extraction des ions métalliques hors du sol. On peut utiliser les pousses récoltées et la biomasse tirée de ces pousses pour extraire des huiles aromatiques essentielles. Le procédé proposé consiste également à utiliser les plantes susmentionnées pour réhabiliter les sites à vocation agricole d'industries pétrolières, généralement contaminés par un mélange de ions métalliques et de contaminants organiques. Ladite plante surpasse toutes les propriétés exigées d'un hyperaccumulateur idéal, à savoir: croissance généralement vigoureuse, importante biomasse (essentiellement les feuilles), système radiculaire efficace, aptitude à survivre et à absorber un vaste gamme de ions métalliques. aptitude à retenir les parties de plantes sénescentes, sans parler des avantages économiques potentiels liés aux huiles aromatiques essentielles obtenues à partir de la biomasse.

Title: Multiple head dispensing system and method
Inventor: PRESCOTT BRIAN P
IPC: H05K13/04
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a multiple head dispensing system having independently controlled dispensing heads. Each of the dispensing heads may be independently controlled to provide simultaneous, asynchronous operation and to allow dispensing of different materials onto substrates. Independent control of the dispensing heads is accomplished under the control of a controller in conjunction with a plurality of gantry systems, each of which positions one of the multiple dispensing heads over a substrate that is to receive dispensing material. In some embodiments, each gantry system utilizes two drive mechanisms, arranged in parallel, that provide movement of the dispensing head over an x-y plane. Multiple conveyor systems are utilized that allow parallel processing of work products in the dispensing system.

Inventor: JYAWOOK JAIME N
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2000-06-28
Abstract: A vehicle door system having a vehicle door, a stationary handle fixed to the vehicle door, a door switch, a power latching mechanism and a wiring harness with a sealing grommet is provided. The door switch is mounted to the stationary handle in a manner which permits the door switch to be actuated when the stationary handle is gripped to open the vehicle door. The wire harness extends from the door switch through an aperture in the vehicle door and couples the door switch to a control module. The sealing grommet substantially seals the aperture to inhibit the infiltration of water and dust into the vehicle door. Actuation of the door switch causes the generation of a door switch signal which is received by the control module. Upon receipt of the switch signal, the control module determines the latched condition of the power latching mechanism and controls its operation according to a predetermined control methodology.

Inventor: SAUNDERS ROSS ALEXANDER
IPC: H04B10/60
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: An embodiment includes an optical source, a dispersive element and a passive optical compression device. A transform-limited optical pulse is generated by the optical source, The optical pulse is then provided to the passive optical compression device. The passive optical compression device, typically using a passive optical notch filter, has a significant amplitude response to filter or spectrally shape the optical pulse as the pulse passes through the device. As the optical pulse's frequency bandwidth increases due to the filtering, the optical pulse's temporal pulse width is reduced or compressed down to a desired narrow pulse width without the use of control signals or high-speed electro-optics.

Title: Evaporator unit for small bus
Inventor: REIMANN ROBERT C
IPC: B60H1/32
Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: An evaporator unit for use in the passenger compartment of a small bus that includes a low profile cabinet mounted in the ceiling of the passenger compartment against the back wall of the compartment. The cabinet contains a housing having a floor that slants downwardly from front to back and an evaporator coil is mounted in the front of the housing that is tilted rearwardly to reduce the height of the cabinet. A tangential blower wheel is mounted behind the coil and arranged to pass air from an inlet in the floor of the housing through the coil and out of the cabinet outlet. A shroud surrounds the blower wheel that cooperates with a baffle plate to efficiently conduct air through the unit. The top edge of the baffle forms the lower lip of the shroud exit region and the plate extends downward so that its lower edge is adjacent to the bottom of the coil to establish a converging air passage with the rear face of the coil to evenly distributes the air flow passing through the coil. A pan is mounted in the floor of the housing to collect condensate from the coil. The pan is exposed to a portion of the blower wheel so that positive pressure developed by the wheel helps to force collected condensate out of the back of the unit.

Abstract: A catalytic hydrocracking process wherein a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is converted by combining with a hot recycle stream containing hydrogen, and the mixture is passed to a denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone, and then to a hydrocracking zone. The resulting hot, uncooled effluent from the hydrocracking zone is hydrogen stripped in a stripping zone maintained at essentially the same pressure as the hydrocracking zone to produce a vapor stream containing hydrogen hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream wherein at least a portion of this liquid stream is then passed to the denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone. At least another portion of the liquid stream is admixed with the subsequently cooled vapor stream to produce a hydrogen-rich recycle gas stream and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream containing hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock.
