Patent EP-1291396-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BRADLEY JONATHAN
IPC: C09D11/00
Filed: 2001-09-06
Abstract: Indicia such as farm codes are printed onto eggshells
using an ink which is invisible under visible light but
visible under UV light. Preferably the eggs are also
subjected to a step of printing with an ink visible under
visible light. Since the UV fluorescent ink is not visible
under visible light it does not interfere with the visible
indicia. Suitable UV fluorescent colourants are curcumin,
quinine, riboflavin, caffeine and erythrosine.

Abstract: A method for performing a cash-free payment transaction that
comprises:
   a) a provider (PPPP) receives a pre-authorization message (2')
for a payment made by a buyer (B), the pre-authorization message
being authenticated for example by a personal identification
number   b) the provider (PPPP) generates a payment nonce in response
to this pre-authorization message   c) the provider (PPPP) forwards this payment nonce (3') to the
buyer (B) and  
the provider (PPPP) approves the payment when asked or when being
debited by a seller (S') interface. The method further comprises
that the above mentioned steps are performed by a private
pre-authorization and payment provider (PPPP) and that the provider
(PPPP) accepts a pre-authorization message being sent by a
buyer's personal trusted device (PTD) being independent of the
seller's interface and that the provider (PPPP) generates the
payment nonce in a form which can be read by the seller's interface. 
     This method using a personal trusted device (PTD) to obtain a
nonce that protects privacy and prevents fraud being at the same
time flexible enough to be used in different kind of transactions,
even in off-line transactions.

Title: Switchable color filter
Inventor: FUENFSCHILLING JUERG
IPC: H04N9/07
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: The liquid crystal switchable color filter switches between
three color bands and is preferably used for time-sequential
color devices, as for example projection devices, direct view
displays and video cameras. The color filter employs circularly
polarizing selective reflection bands of at least four
cholesteric filters (89, 91, 93, 95) together with three liquid
crystal switches (81, 83, 85) and related retarder layers.
Between the first and the second as well as between the third
and the fourth cholesteric filter an additional half-wave plate
(111, 113) is provided, which makes it possible to use
cholesteric filters having all the same handedness. Furthermore,
for the blocking state of a color band the optic axis of the
corresponding liquid crystal switch is parallel or perpendicular
to the polarization direction. This concept simplifies
production and still exhibits excellent properties for the color
switch. Moreover, it advantageously allows overlapping color
transmission bands thus improving the light efficiency.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'imagerie à ultrasons superposant des coupes créées à partir des données volumétriques ultrasonores et des données d'emplacement pour un dispositif d'intervention, tel qu'un cathéter. La position d'un dispositif médical d'intervention est visualisée, dans une ou plusieurs vues, par rapport aux organes et tissus dans un corps à mesure que le dispositif d'intervention bouge. Les données d'emplacement se référant à ce dispositif  sont mises à jour en permanence et superposées sur des images de tissus moins souvent mises à jour, d'où l'obtention d'images en temps réel ou presque du dispositif d'intervention par rapport aux tissus. Les images superposées permettent au personnel médical d'effectuer des opérations, notamment des angiographies avec une exposition minimale ou nulle des patients aux rayons x et au colorant de contraste. On peut ainsi préserver l'aspect et l'impression d'une imagerie familière de type fluoroscopie ou une image 3D projetée en temps réel ou presque du dispositif d'intervention par rapport à un organe ou à un tissu.

Title: Plastic container with a snap-in lid
Inventor: DIESTERBECK FRANK
IPC: B65D43/02
Filed: 2001-02-08
Abstract: A plastic container with a snap lid and with a snap element provided on an upper edge area of the container for the lid to snap onto, where the lid being snapped onto the container has an area that comes into tight contact with the upper edge area of the container, the areas of the lid and of the container cooperating under tight contact generate a sealing region. The object of the invention is to design a plastic container with snap lid, which reliably fulfils special demands on leak-proofness. To this end, the sealing region between the container and the lid is provided with a circumferential seal made of a material of greater elasticity than the container and the lid and in that the seal is integrally moulded on at least one of the cooperation areas of the lid and of the container generating the sealing region. The seal can be located in a circumferential groove in the lid. The seal can have two sealing regions spaced apart that are at different angles to the main axis of the container, where the container and/or lid has areas that provide for tight contact on the sealing regions. The container and the seal are provided with elevations in the form of ribs which come into contact when the lid is on. At the height of the seal, the outer flank of the groove on the lid laterally contacts the outside of the container.

Abstract: Le mélanome représente à l'heure actuelle un souci majeur pour le grand public et le nombre de patients envoyés en consultation dans les hôpitaux par les médecins généralistes ne cesse d'augmenter.  C'est pourquoi il serait intéressant que les médecins aient à leur disposition un système leur permettant de tester de manière fiable les lésions cutanées afin de déterminer la malignité d'une lésion particulière.  La présente invention concerne un système tel que celui-là, qui fait appel à un capteur infrarouge à l'intérieur d'un boîtier (10), avec lequel on balaye la peau de façon mesurable et dans une certaine position afin de détecter la température de la peau dans la zone de la lésion suspecte et dans la zone entourant celle-ci.  On enregistre la sortie du capteur et on l'affiche afin d'obtenir un profil de température suivant la trajectoire balayée, profil à partir duquel on peut déduire la nature potentielle de la lésion.

Abstract: The mechanical seal (3) includes: a rotary side
sliding ring (32) which is supported by the large
diameter side outer circumferential face (23) of the
annular step section (21) of the rotary shaft (2) via the
rotary side O-ring (37) and press-fitted into the annular
step section (21) by gas pressure in the device; and an
unturnable stationary side sliding ring (31) which is
fixed onto the seal housing (1) side via the stationary
side O-ring (33) being capable of moving in the axial
direction and being able to come into close contact with
the sliding protrusion (323) of the rotary side sliding
ring (32) due to the spring (36) so that the airtightly
sealed sliding face S is formed. The rotary side sliding
ring (32) is made of self-lubrication sliding material,
and the stationary side sliding ring (31) is made of
sliding material, the Young's modulus of which is higher
than that of the self-lubrication sliding material. A
deforming force given to the rotary side sliding ring
(32) in the leaning direction caused by differential
pressure between the high gas pressure and the
atmospheric pressure outside the device is canceled by a
deforming force caused by a component in the axial
direction of the differential pressure acting on the
annular step section (21) of the rotary shaft (2) in the
pressing direction.

Abstract: When color converting image data of a first color coordinate
system to image data of a second color coordinate system using a
color conversion module, the tone values of said second image data
are proportionally increased for conversion in a tone value range in
which small dots or light dots are formed. Next, second image data is
converted to dot volume data relating to the dot forming density for
various dots with different tone values expressed per single dot. At
this time, the proportional increase part of the tone values of the
second image data is corrected, and suitable dot volume data is
obtained. If this is done, even in an area where small dots or light
dots are formed, it is possible to supplement insufficient resolution of
image data during color conversion, and to display images of high
image quality.
