Granted: 2007-04-17
Abstract: A facility for conducting a coercion-resistant electronic collection is described. The facility receives from the voter a first voter conformation value. At a later time, the facility receives from the voter an encrypted ballot and a second voter confirmation value. Without regard for the value o f the received second voter confirmation value, the facility adds the received ballot to a publicly-available list of cast ballots. After the addition, members of the public are able to verify the addition of the received ballot to the list without being able to determine whether the ballot will be counted. The facility counts the ballot if and only the second voter confirmation value received with the ballot matches the received first voter confirmation value.

Title: Rmn detectee par squid et irm a champs ultra faibles
Inventor: CLARKE JOHN
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2003-02-06
Granted: 2013-09-17
Abstract: On détecte des signaux de résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN) dans des champs du niveau du microtesla. Puis, on effectue une prépolarisation dans des champs du niveau du millitesla par détection au magnétomètre à SQUID (interféromètre quantique supraconducteur) à courant continu non accordé. La sensibilité du SQUID étant indépendante de la fréquence, la détection du signal RMN dans des champs magnétiques extrêmement faibles permet d'améliorer le rapport signal-bruit et la résolution spectrale. Les lignes RMN deviennent très étroites même pour des champs de mesure manifestement non homogènes. L'IRM dans un champ magnétique ultra faible est basée sur la RMN à champs ultra faibles. On applique des champs magnétiques à gradient et on forme des images à partir des signaux RMN détectés.

Title: Chemical treatments for fibers and wire-coated composite strands for molding fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite articles
Inventor: WOODSIDE ANDREW B
IPC: C08J5/06
Filed: 1997-08-07
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: In one general aspect, the invention involves applying a chemical treatment to fibers, such as reinforcing fibers suitable for making a composite article, so as to size and/or preimpregnate the fibers. The chemical treatment has a relatively low viscosity and is substantially solvent-free and non-radiation curable. Heat energy may be employed to lower the viscosity and improve the wetting ability of the applied treatment and/or to increase the molecular weight of, or otherwise cure, the treatment with essentially no generation of solvent vapor. The treated fibers are used to form a composite strand, which may be subsequently processed in-line or off line into a composite article having fibers disposed in a polymeric matrix. Another general aspect relates to encased composite strands, in thread or pellet form, and to wire-coating methods and apparatus for making them. The strands are moldable into fiber-reinforced thermoplasti c composite articles. Each strand is made from fibers, including reinforcing fibers and optionally fibers of a matrix material, that are impregnated with a chemical treatment so that the treatment is disposed between substantially all of the fibers.

Title: Multiple object sources controlled and/or selected based on a common sensor
Inventor: GERMAN KRISTINE A
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 2005-08-05
Granted: 2009-10-20
Abstract: A sensor module is able to sense at least one aspect of objects produced by a plurality of object sources. Since one sensor module or set of sensor elements is used to examine output from the plurality of object sources, sensor to sensor variation is removed as a source of error. In a multi-engine document processor, information from the sensor module is used to adjust process actuators, adjust image data and/or generate scheduling constraints to improve output consistency. For example, facing pages of a document are rendered only on marking engines operating within a predetermined tolerance of one another. Image data may be altered so that related images are within the measured capabilities of a plurality of marking engines. System actuators, such as xerographic actuators, of selected marking engines are adjusted to improve output consistency between marking engines.

Granted: 2011-03-08
Abstract: Air interface management apparatus for use in network-based control of measurements made by mobile user equipment with respect to cells of the network is adapted to detect conflict in content of measurement control messages instructing the report of pathloss measurement values. Conflict is detected in particular where the message specifies: an identity for a triggering event for which the category or categories of cell to be measured is determined at the receiver solely by said identity and comprises detected set cells, or periodical measurement in respect of a detected set cell. Pathloss measurements are not possible in these cases. The apparatus provides a mechanism for dealing with detected conflict by blocking transmission of, or response to, a measurement control message giving rise to conflict. Alternatively, the message or the response may be modified to avoid the conflict.
