Patent EP-0880103-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FIGARELLA LUIS
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1993-07-29
Abstract: A system for decoding a bar code symbol having a
plurality of elements receives a signal representative of
the symbol. The system searches the signal along a first
search step (1228) to characterize the width of one of the
elements (1206). The system then selects a second search
step (1230) by projecting from the first search step onto a
reference line (1226), where the reference line is not
parallel to either the first or second search steps. The
system then searches the signal along the second search
step to characterize the width of another of the elements. 
     A system for decoding a bar code symbol (1802) having
at least three elements (1806, 1808, ... 1838) receives a
signal representative of the symbol. The system characterizes
a first set of two or more elements by searching the
signal along a first search step (1840). The system also
characterizes a second set of two or more elements by
searching the signal along a second search step (1842),
where the first set and the second set have an element in
common and where the first and second search steps are not
collinear. The system characterizes the common element
using the first and second characterizations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing the
performance of a rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker. A
pacemaker is provided which is capable of obtaining and
storing information about a patient's cardiac function
and about a pacemaker's operation during a brief
exercise interval. The data collected includes
information about the number of cardiac events during
each two-second interval of the exercise, as well as the
percentage of paced events during each two-second
interval. Data reflecting the output of the pacemaker's
activity sensor output is also collected for each two-second
interval of the test. In addition, AV interval
data for each cardiac cycle during the test is
collected, this data being distinguished according to
whether it reflects atrial-pace-to-ventricular-sense or
atrial-sense-to-ventricular-sense AV intervals. The
disclosed pacemaker is operable in conjunction with an
external programming/processing unit, which receives the
stored data after the exercise test is concluded. The
data is processed and presented on the programmer screen
in a manner which enables the clinician to readily
assimilate it and observe the effects of hypothetical
changes in rate-response programming in the pacemaker.
Additionally, the clinician is able to observe the
programmed AV rate adaption profiles in conjunction with
the patient's actual AV performance, and compare this
data with an AV profile from a typical healthy heart.

Abstract: In the conveyance of a disc using a conventional conveying
roller, a recording surface of the disc is apt to be flawed
because the conveying roller comes into abutment against the
disc. In the disc unit of the present invention, to solve the
above-mentioned problem, a disc which has been inserted into
the disc unit through an insertion opening is transferred to
a disc driving section while an edge portion of the disc is held
by support pulleys of a conveying means. Thus, a recording
surface of the disc is not pushed directly and therefore can
be prevented from being flawed.

Abstract: A transponder type key security system having a plurality of authorized keys efficiently correlates a key code transmitted by a key-based transponder unit with codes stored in an interrogator unit (100) while inhibiting reception interference by multiple signals transmitted by a plurality of key-based transponder units (200). The interrogator unit (100) transmits a general request for key-based transponder units (200) having pre-stored key codes allocated thereto to respond by giving their respective key codes. A transponder unit (200), upon receiving the request, transmits its key code to the interrogator unit (100). The interrogator unit (100) compares a received key code with key codes previously stored to determine if the transponder unit (200) responding is authorized or not. In the event that multiple transponder units (200) respond to the request, the interrogator unit (100) transmits a key-specific request so that only the targeted key-based transponder unit (200) will respond. This prevents multiple transponder requests from interfering with one another. Usually only a single key is present and there is no need to transmit key-specific requests. Thus, the number of key code requests to be transmitted is reduced and a determination of whether a key is authorized or not can be carried out efficiently.

design. Therefore, a desired pipe loss is obtainable
only by designing in advance the sectional form and
length of the channel (151) so as to correspond to the
pipe loss. Particularly, with injection molding, mass
production of a passage forming member of identical pipe
loss can be effected merely by preparing a mold
corresponding to the pipe loss, thus leading to a
considerable reduction in the manufacturing cost of the
discharge regulator.
