Abstract: Systems and methods are descried for providing connectivity to portable electronic devices, such as a cordless telephone, for the purpose of upgrading software features. In a preferred embodiment, portable electronic devices can be connected to a conventional household audio player via an audio input/out interface in the device to receive encoded data signals modulated in an audio band. The audio player can playback an audio signal stored in any of several different formats, including compact disc, audio cassette tape, MP3 file, or streaming audio, and can be physically connected an audio jack in the portable electronic device via a conventional audio cable. The device demodulates and decodes the signal and routes the transmitted data to memory registers for upgrading software stored in device memory.
Patent CA-2453968-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANAKA MASAKO
IPC: H01G9/155
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: A method for producing an activated carbon, which comprises a step of subjecting a coal-based pitch to the heat treatment in two stages having temperatures of 400 to 600~C and 600 to 900~C, respectively, and a step of admixing the resulting a carbonaceous material with an alkali metal compound and activating it at a temperature of 600 to 900~C; and an activated carbon produced by the method. The addition of a fibrous material to a coal-based pitch in the activation step inhibits the expansion of an alkali molten fluid, which leads to marked improvement of the productivity of activated carbon. The activated carbon can be used as a material of a polarizable electrode for an electric double layer capacitor which exhibits an enhanced electric capacity per electrode without applying an excessively high voltage. Further, the use of a fibrous carbon excellent in electroconductivity as the fibrous material allows the formation of an activated carbon having an electroconductive fibrous carbon fused on the surface thereof, which leads to the production of a polarizable electrode excellent in charge-discharge characteristics at a high current density.

Title: High speed analyzer using near infrared radiation transmitted through thick samples of optically dense material
Inventor: AMBUEL JACK
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2003-03-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an instrument (10) for measuring constituents in optically dense materials using near infrared radiation transmitted through samples of the material while the material is either stationary or flowing. The invention uses light source (1) and collimating optics to transmit a parallel beam of light through the material, which is then collected by a focusing lens and imaged onto a rectangular entrance slit of a spectrometer (4). The spectrometer (4) has nonmoving parts and a fixed diffraction gratin g to spread the image into a continuous range of wavelengths. A portion of the diffracted slit images covering the selected portion of the NIR is focused onto an array of photodiodes. The outputs of each photodiode, or the outputs of a selected number of the photodiodes, are fed into current to voltage converters: either resistive or preferred capacitive. The outputs of all photodiodes are measured in parallel, which reduces the time to acquire the spectra. The gain of these current to voltage converters is programmable so that both high intensity and low intensity NIR levels can be measured withou t reducing the intensity of the radiation incident on the material under test and thereby eliminating the need for moving parts in the spectrometer (4). After the spectra are acquired, they are operated on by models to predict th e percentages of various constituents in the material.
