Patent EP-1300228-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ANDERSEN PER JUST
IPC: C08L3/00
Filed: 1995-09-12
Abstract: Articles, particularly containers and packaging
materials, having a starch-bound cellular matrix reinforced
with substantially uniformly dispersed fibers and
methods for manufacturing the articles. High strength
articles that have adequate flexibility and toughness
immediately or very shortly after being demolded without
the need for subsequent conditioning are molded
from compositions having a starch-based binder and
fibers that are uniformly dispersed by means of a high
yield stress fluid fraction within the starch-based composition.
In a two-step mixing process, a preblended
mixture is formed by gelating a portion of the starch-based
binder or other thickening agent in water to form
a liquid phase having high yield stress into which the fibers
are substantially uniformly dispersed. At least some
of the fibers preferably have an average length of at
least about 2 mm and an aspect ratio of at least about
25:1. The remaining starch-based binder, water, and
other desired admixtures, such as mold-release agents,
inorganic fillers, rheology-modifying agents, plasticizers,
integral coating or sealing materials, and dispersants,
are added to the preblended mixture to form a
moldable starch-based composition, which is molded
between heated molds to produce form-stable articles
having a desired shape and a selectively controlled
foamed structural matrix. Such articles can replace articles
presently made from conventional materials like
paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or other
organic-based materials and have especial utility in the
mass-production of containers, particularly food and
beverage containers.

Title: Test for measuring adhesion of polymer binders to a heated metal surface
Inventor: PANGRAZI RONALD JOSEPH
IPC: G01N19/04
Filed: 2002-12-16
Abstract: The following method is used to measure the adhesion of a polymer binder to a
heated metal surface: 
     A metal plate is attached to a heated (350 °F; 177 °C) platform and allowed to
equilibrate to the temperature of the platform. A polymer emulsion binder is applied to a
substrate, such as cotton fabric, and an end of the coated substrate is attached to a
tensile measuring apparatus. The coated side of the coated substrate is pressed onto
the heated metal plate; e.g., using a 3-Ib lab roller. After a length of time to cause drying
and/or partial cure of the binder (approximately 30 seconds), the metal plate and the
tensile measuring device are separated at a given uniform speed. The amount of force
needed to remove the substrate from the metal plate is recorded.

Abstract: A short-channel NMOS transistor 300 in a p-well 303,
bordered laterally on each side by an isolation region 304 and
vertically by a channel stop region 320, has a n-source 310 and
a n-drain 312, each comprising a shallow region 311, 313
extending to the transistor gate and a deeper region recessed
from the gate, and both having a depletion region when reverse
biased. The shallow regions are surrounded in part by an
enhanced p-doping implant pocket 314, 315. The transistor
further has in these regions of enhanced p-doping another region
of a p-resistivity higher than the remainder of the
semiconductor. These regions 370, 371 extend laterally
approximately from the inner border of the respective shallow
region to the inner border of the respective recessed region,
and vertically from a depth just below the depletion regions of
source and drain to approximately the top of the channel stop
regions. 
     According to the invention, these regions of higher p-type
resistivity are created after gate definition by an ion
implant of compensating n-doping, such as arsenic or phosphorus,
using the same photomask already used for implants creating the
extended source and drain and the pockets of enhanced p-doping. 
     In an ESD event, these regions of higher resistivity
increase the current gain of the parasitic lateral npn bipolar
transistor and thus raise the current It2, which initiates the
thermal breakdown with its destructive localized heating,
thereby improving ESD robustness.

Filed: 2002-06-04
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte au commerce électronique et notamment aux achats en ligne effectués au moyen d'une carte de paiement en ligne, par exemple, d'une carte de débit ou de crédit. La conception de la présente invention est fondée sur une utilisation alternative des procédés de sécurité employés actuellement pour protéger les détenteurs de cartes. Vis-à-vis du détenteur de carte, cette conception rend superflue la transmission du numéro de carte avec d'autres informations relatives à la commande au moment de la commande; l'opération est en revanche couplée à l'utilisation de mots de passe. De cette manière, la transaction ressemble à un retrait d'argent liquide auprès d'une banque; du point de vue de sécurité, cette opération de retrait satisfait entièrement les banques et les systèmes de cartes malgré le fait que, pour des raisons de sécurité, ils n'acceptent pas que le commerce électronique et/ou d'autres acteurs accèdent à leur 'réseau'.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de transcodage d'un flot de paquets de données. Ces paquets de données sont reçus en provenance d'un noeud source et comprennent des données cryptées. Le flot de paquets de données est mis en oeuvre au moyen d'une fonction configurant ce flot selon des attributs aval, tels que les attributs d'un noeud de réception ou du canal de communication. D'une façon significative, la fonction est exécutée sans décryptage des données multimédia cryptées. Le flot de paquets de données configuré selon les attributs aval est envoyé vers le noeud de réception. Etant donné que les données cryptées ne nécessitent pas un décryptage puis un recryptage, le nombre de ressources informatiques requises pour le transcodage de ce flot de paquets de données est fortement réduit, la sécurité des données n'étant pas compromise.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'améliorer une image numérique. Ce procédé consiste à localiser (201) d'abord les visages humains dans une image numérique, puis à analyser (202) l'image numérique, l'analyse portant sur les régions identifiées comme étant des visages humains et sur l'image numérique dans son ensemble. Une fonction (311) de mappage de tonalité est ensuite définie à partir de l'analyse des visages détectés et de l'analyse de l'image dans son ensemble, ce qui permet d'obtenir une fonction d'application de tonalité qui incorpore à la fois des facteurs psychologiques (p. ex. clarté moyenne de la région des visages et clarté moyenne de l'image) et des facteurs de signal (p. ex. résolution numérique, contraste de la région visage, uniformité de l'histogramme et problème du bruit). Cette fonction de mappage de tonalité est ensuite appliquée (313) à l'image numérique de manière à produire une image numérique améliorée. Ce procédé est automatique et ne nécessite par d'entrées par l'utilisateur. En outre, grâce à l'incorporation conjointe de facteurs psychologiques et de facteurs de signal, les images améliorées résultantes sont perçues comme étant de bonne qualité.

Abstract: A method of generating an efficient sequence of "n m +m-1" n-level random numbers, each sub-sequence of "m" successive random numbers thereof having a different pattern, including the steps of generating a sequence of n-level random numbers based on an initial value, a number being generated at a time, determining whether a pattern of a sub-sequence is "used", if the pattern of the sub-sequence is "used", setting a different value to the initial value, if the pattern of the sub-sequence is not "used", accepting the newly generated number and marking the pattern as "used". All of the steps are repeated until all of "n m " patterns are exhausted. Since the newly generated number is rejected if the pattern of the sub-sequence is "used", the sequence becomes the shortest one of which all of "n m " patterns are exhausted.
