Abstract: Security devices are widely used for guarding spaces or areas (for example outdoor areas), with detectors monitoring different planes. It is a requirement for a good operation of a security device that the risk of false alarms should be reduced to a minimum. Each plane is subdivided into several subplanes in that the detector for each plane is provided with several sensors which are positioned so as to enclose an angle with one another. The risk of false alarms is substantially reduced thereby. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device includes a cavity resonator (1) which lies on one side of the waveguide (2) and is short-circuited at its ends. The resonator resonates in a fundamental TE011 mode. The coupler comprises holes in the guide and the cavity and the resonant slot, lying at right angles to the slots in the waveguide, is directed from the large surface of the cavity towards the mobile unit. A Schottky diode, acting as a modulator (7), is positioned between the edges of the resonant slot and a point of high impedance at the required frequency. A device within the cavity generates the information signal to the diode which may short-circuit the slot depending on the signal polarity.

Abstract: When a public switched telephone network (PSTN) subscriber (28) is occupying their telephone link to connect a personal computer to a computer network, the method provides automatic redirection of an incoming call to said telephone link to a subscriber proxy (38) connected to the PSTN (30) for producing audio interaction with the caller. The subscriber proxy is also connected to said computer network and is capable of sending and receiving messages over said computer network to the subscriber's computer thereby providing the subscriber with a capability to receive notification on said computer of the PSTN call attempt. Optionally, the subscriber has a further capability to interact with said computer to operate the proxy to control and interact with the incoming voice telephone call while the subscriber continues to occupy their telephone link connecting their computer to the computer network.

Abstract: The net output of an industrial gas turbine (101) including an axial-flow multistage compressor (103) having an inlet (102) for acquiring a working fluid comprising air, is augmented using a process comprising the step of providing, to the working fluid acquired by the axial-flow compressor (103), droplets of a liquid which possesses a high latent of vaporization to reduce the temperature increase of the working fluid caused by compression and to thereby achieve an increase in the net output of the gas turbine (101) as measured against the net output of the gas turbine (101) under comparable conditions but without said liquid being provided. The droplets are provided by droplet-addition means (201) located a sufficient distance away from the compressor inlet (102) whereby, in the event of any element of said means breaks away and is carried with the inlet air towards the compressor inlet, that element is gravitationally pulled to a lower surface (136) of an inlet duct (133) to the compressor inlet (102) before the air reaches said inlet (102).

Abstract: A body implantable stent is formed of a plurality of strands arranged in two sets of coaxial helices, wound in opposite directions to form multiple crossings. At selected crossings, the adjacent strands are welded to one another, while at the remaining crossings the strands are free for limited movement relative to one another. The welds are formed in patterns that preferably enhance radial strength and rigidity, while having a minimal impact on axial bending flexibility. Preferred weld patterns in this regard include rings or circumferential rows, and helices, particularly with a steeper pitch than that of the strands. Stent fabrication preferably involves resistance welding at the crossings, and use of a tool to reuniformly compress the stent around and against the distal end region of a balloon catheter used later to deliver the stent to a treatment site.

Abstract: A computer system maintains and updates a status register (102, 107) in response to signals containing status information received from several peripheral devices (110, 120, 130), and generates an interrupt to a processor (100). When the processor (100) sevices the interrupt, the processor (100) merely reads the status register (102) to determine which peripheral device requires processing. This is a very fast operation because the status register (102) is internal to the processor (100) or core logic (103). No time consuming polling of peripheral devices (110, 120, 130) is required to determine the status of the peripheral device.

Abstract: The described method is used for generating a security document by applying a security pattern to an original image. The security pattern comprises a plurality of points, wherein each of said points represents a pattern value. Local averages are calculated from said pattern values for at least some areas of the security pattern. For at least some of the points of the security pattern the color of the corresponding point of the original image is replaced by a modified color. The modified color is a function of the local average, the original color and the corresponding pattern value. The method provides good security against counterfeit because it is difficult to implement using conventional image processing applications. For a suitable choice of the color transformation function, the resulting image can preserve the local color tones of the original image.
