Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for attenuating noise by
antinoise. According to the invention the object is to attenuate the noise by
weighting such frequencies, at which the noise is most disturbing. At other
frequencies the noise is attenuated less or not at all. This saves power in the
equipment and a stronger subjective attenuation is obtained that without frequency
weighting. The system can be applied in a mobile station so that the speech heard
from the mobile station can be distinguished from the environmental noise.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolated fragments of an Erwinia hypersensitive response elicitor protein or polypeptide which fragments elicit a hypersensitive response in plants. Also disclosed are isolated DNA molecules which encode the Erwinia hypersensitive response eliciting fragment. Isolated fragments of hypersensitive response elicitor proteins or polypeptides, which elicit a hypersensitive response, and the isolated DNA molecules that encode them can be used to impart disease resistance to plants, to enhance plant growth, and/or to control insects on plants. This can be achieved by applying the hypersensitive response eliciting fragments in a non-infectious form to plants or plant seeds under conditions effective to impart disease resistance, to enhance plant growth, and/or to control insects on plants or plants grown from the plant seeds. Alternatively, transgenic plants or plant seeds transformed with a DNA molecule encoding a hypersensitive response eliciting fragment can be provided and the transgenic plants or plants resulting from the transgenic plant seeds are grown under conditions effective to impart disease resistance, to enhance plant growth, and/or to control insects on plants or plants grown from the plant seeds.

direction of relative movement between the carrier (12;112) and substrate
(12;124), and the print head (11;111), method including the steps of
   (a) carrying out a first printing operation by means of causing
relative movement between the substrate (24;124) and carrier (12;112), and the
print head (11;111), such that the print head (11;111) moves relative to a first
area (R1) of the carrier (12;112) from a start position to an end position whilst

Abstract: A method is provided for operating an RF transponder system to detect the
presence of an RFID device in the proximal space of an RF reader unit. The RF reader
unit has an excitation signal generator circuit, an RFID device detection circuit coupled
to the excitation signal generator circuit, and a power source. The excitation signal
generator circuit unit initially operates in a reduced power state effected by drawing
reduced electrical current from the power source. The excitation signal generator
circuit generates ring signals in response to the reduced electrical current and transmits
the ring signals into the proximal space. The RFID device detection circuit evaluates
the ring signals to determine variations in an RFID device detection parameter of the
ring signals. When the variation in the RFID device detection parameter passes a
variation threshold level due to the presence of the RFID device in the proximal space,
the excitation signal generator circuit switches from the reduced power state to an
increased power state and generation of the ring signals is terminated. The excitation
signal generator circuit draws increased electrical current from the power source in the
increased power state to generate an RF excitation signal which is transmitted to the
RFID device, having a transponder circuit powered by the RF excitation signal. The
transponder circuit processes the RF excitation signal, generates an RF response
signal, and transmits the RF response signal to an ER circuit housed in the RF reader
unit. The ER circuit reads the RF response signal and the excitation signal generator
circuit switches back to the reduced power state, resuming generation of the ring
signals while terminating generation of the RF excitation signal.

reads the administration block and shared memory and
one or more descriptors are constructed within the
network device. Each descriptor points to a frame data
buffer within shared memory. The descriptors are then
stored.

Abstract: A multiplexer for selecting a single output signal from a plurality of input
signals. For a plurality of complementary input signal pairs in particular, the
multiplexer includes for each pair of complementary input signals a control sub-circuit (20,30)
having a selection switch (SW1,SW2) and a common resistance (CR1,CR2) in parallel. The switch
and the common resistance have a common low-potential node that is tied to a
pair of resistances that are in parallel, wherein each of the parallel resistances is
coupled to the respective high-potential nodes of a differential amplifier. A
particular pair of incoming complementary input signal pairs controls the
differential amplifier. An off-circuit selection signal selects which switch of a
plurality of control sub-circuits is activated. When a switch is on, it creates a
bypassing of the common resistance, thereby enabling the turn-on of output
drivers coupled to the differential amplifier. When a switch is off, the potential
drops across the common resistance and the parallel resistances reduce the
potential at the output drivers' control nodes enough to block their turn-on. As a
result, the only output drivers providing signal output are those associated with
the one selected control sub-circuit having its switch turned on.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for generating freely definable libraries of elements (8; 34; 54) in the form of ligand and acceptor structures for combinatorial synthesis, for example in active ingredient research. Said elements are regularly arranged on a substrate (6; 30; 50) along a first and a second coordinate (10; 36; 54 or 12; 38; 58) and a dosing head (14; 42) comes into contact with each element separately and in a controlled manner.

The substrate (6; 30; 50) is configured as a rotating body which can be turned about its axis of rotational symmetry (2; 32; 52), which serves as its axis of rotation, in the direction of the first coordinate (10; 36; 54). At least one dosing head (14; 42) can be displaced in relation to the substrate along the second coordinate (12; 38; 58) and parallel to the surface of the substrate, and can be controlled in accordance with its momentary position so as to release a defined quantity of the relevant reagent or solvent.
