Patent EP-1017616-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MARION KENNETH O
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 1998-09-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de distribution de combustible qui s'utilise pour effectuer une opération corrélative à une opération d'achat (dans le cadre d'un programme de promotion de fidélisation, par exemple, ou pour offrir des réductions de prix). Le système inclut un dispositif électronique de communication sans fil pour communiquer avec des unités de communications éloignées, un distributeur de combustible muni d'une interface utilisateur, et un système de commande associé au distributeur et au dispositif électronique de communication pour recevoir des signaux d'une unité de communications éloignée pendant une opération. Le système de commande est adapté, par exemple, pour offrir un bonus associé à l'unité de communications éloignée. Généralement, les signaux reçus de l'unité de communications éloignée incluent des données d'identification correspondant au répondeur et/ou au client associé à ce dernier. Selon l'application, le système de commande peut utiliser les données d'identification pour accéder à des informations de promotion ou stocker des informations de promotion dans une base de données associée. Dans un aspect différent, les informations de promotion peuvent être extraites de ou stockées dans l'unité de communications éloignée. Les promotions de fidélisation peuvent être basées sur des opérations courantes, sur des opérations précédentes ou sur une combinaison des deux types d'opération. Ces promotions de fidélisation peuvent se rapporter à des produits ou des services et concerner une opération complète ou partielle. Le système de commande peut être adapté pour extraire des informations de promotion précédentes et combiner cette information avec des informations courantes pour offrir des bonus cumulatifs. Ces bonus cumulatifs peuvent être comptabilisés en totalité ou en partie pour offrir des rabais sur l'opération en cours, ou stockés en totalité ou en partie dans une base de données associée ou dans le répondeur pour une utilisation ultérieure.

Patent EP-1029075-A1 (EP)
Title: Sucrose detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay
Inventor: BORGFORD THOR JON
IPC: G01N33/66
Filed: 1998-11-02
Abstract: A method is described for the rapid, sensitive and accurate determination of sucrose in biological fluids. A substrate is pre-coated with a glucose or fructose polymer and a transglycosidase enzyme. When the coated substrate is incubated with biological fluids containing concentrations of sucrose, the transglycosidase enzyme transfers monomers of glucose or fructose from the sucrose to the glucose or fructose polymer. The dimensions of the polymer are increased in proportion to the sucrose concentration of the samples. Newly formed polymer is subsequently quantitated in an immunoassay which employs either a combination of a carbohydrate-binding protein (which may be an antibody) and a conjugate of a secondary antibody and a marker enzyme, or a conjugate of a carbohydrate-binding protein and a marker enzyme. The assay is accurate at sucrose concentrations below 1  mu g/mL. No interference was observed at glucose concentrations as high as 25 mM. The sucrose detection assay is particularly useful in a non-invasive diagnostic test for gastric damage.

IPC: H04N19/80
Filed: 1992-03-26
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated
according to an input signal for producing relevant signal
points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is
divided into two, first and second, data streams. The
signal points are divided into signal point groups to which
data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of
the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of
each signal point group. A difference in the transmission
error rate between the first and second data streams is
developed by shifting the signal points to other positions
in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first
and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a
received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is
divided by a transmitter into two, low and high, frequency
band components which are designated as a first and a second
data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a
receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component
or both the low and high frequency band components, depending
on its capability.
