Patent EP-1528451-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VASSILEV APOSTOL
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 2003-10-27
Abstract: A smart card authentication framework may include a card application applet (CAA),
an authentication policy applet (APA), and an authentication technology applet (ATA). The
CAA may provide a protected service for a user. The APA may provide an authentication-technology-independent
user validation service for the CAA. The ATA may provide a
technology-specific authentication service. In one embodiment, the CAA provides a first
external interface, the ATA provides a second external interface and a first internal interface,
and the APA provides a second internal interface. The ATA may receive a host request for
user authentication via the second external interface, and the ATA may process the
authentication request without participation by the CAA. The CAA may communicate with
the APA via the first internal interface to determine whether the user is currently validated. If
so, the CAA may provide the protected service for the host via the first external interface.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method of casting a directionally solidified (DS) or single
crystal (SX) article with a casting furnace comprising a heating chamber (4), a
cooling chamber (5), a separating baffle (3) between the both chambers. In a
first step the shell mould (12) is filled with liquid metal (15), and the liquid
metal (15) is directionally solidified by withdrawing the shell mould (12) from
the heating to the cooling chamber (4, 5). An inert gas impinges from nozzles
(8) arranged below the baffle (3) on the shell mould (12) and in steep transitions
in outer surface area of the shell mould (12) the flow of the inert gas (9)
is reduced or even stopped and when a protruding geometrical feature has
passed the impingement area of the gas jets, the gas flow (9) is restored to a
value adjusted to the geometry of the cast part presently passing the impingement
area.

Abstract: This invention relates to a non-intrusive speech
quality assessment system. The invention provides a method
and apparatus for training a quality assessment tool in
which a database comprising a plurality of samples, each
with an associated mean opinion score, is divided into a
plurality of distortion sets of samples according to a
distortion criterion; and a distortion specific assessment
handler for each distortion set is trained, such that a
fit between a distortion specific quality measure
generated from a distortion specific plurality of
parameters for a sample and the mean opinion score
associated with said sample is optimised. The invention
also provides a method and apparatus for assessing speech
quality in a telecommunications network in which a
dominant distortion type is determined for a sample; a
distortion specific plurality of parameters are combined
to provide a distortion specific quality measure for each
sample; and a quality measure is generated in dependence
upon the distortion specific quality measure.

Title: System and method for optimizing bluetooth transmissions to overcome signal interference
Inventor: PATTABIRAMAN GANESH
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2003-01-03
Abstract: Transmissions of a Bluetooth device are optimized to overcome signal interference. Mapping rules dictate different Bluetooth packet types to be used for transmission under various specified conditions including prescribed signal interference characteristics. The Bluetooth device measures signal interference characteristics upon different Bluetooth frequencies. The Bluetooth device identifies messages pending transmission to one or more remote Bluetooth devices, and receives designation of frequencies to be used in transmitting the pending messages to the remote Bluetooth device according to a predetermined frequency hopping scheme. The Bluetooth device applies the mapping rules to conditions including at least the measured signal interference characteristics for the designated frequencies to select Bluetooth packet types for use in transmitting the identified messages to the remote Bluetooth device.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein IVR-System (interactive voice response system) zur Bereitstellung von Funktionen und Ressourcen für Dienste, die interaktive Sprachausgabe oder das Ausgeben von Ansagen umfassen, und drei Verfahren zur Behandlung von Ressourcenengpässen des IVR-Systems. Von dem IVR-System wird ein Ressourcenpool für mehrere Vermittlungssysteme bereitgestellt. Durch die exklusive, disjunkte Zuordnung der Steuerschnittstellen und Nutzdatenschnittstellen des IVR-Systems zu den Vermittlungssystemen ergeben sich aus Sicht der Vermittlungssysteme virtuelle, jeweils einem Vermittlungssystem zugeordnete IVR-Systeme. Ressourcenengpässe bei Zugriff mehrerer Vermittlungssysteme auf das IVR-System können vermieden werden, indem Aufträge abgewiesen werden, für die die benötigten Ressourcen nicht reserviert werde können, oder indem Aufträge, bei deren Abarbeitung durch das Warten auf Ressourcen zu große Verzögerungen auftreten, abgebrochen werden. Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil einer effizienten Ausnutzung der durch das IVR-System bereitgestellten Ressourcen.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and means for focusing radiation of any nature and spectrum. Beams (2) and (2') extracted from a wave field (WF) are deflected at predefined angles in two sequential sections (S) (3) and (4) of the WF by means of ordered sets consisting of equal number of similar focusing elements (FE) (5, 6) which are symmetrically disposed in said S3 and S4 in such a way that an invariance is obtained in relation to the rotation around an axis (7) which passes through the centres of the sections C3 and C4. The module and the orientation of the angle of deflection of the beams (2, 2') are consistently modified, thereby ensuring the proportionality of a meridional component with respect to a distance between the beam (2, 2') and the centre (0, 0') of the C3 and C4. Acting apertures of the focusing elements (5, 6) are limited by segments of arc distributed along the C3 and C4 with a constant angular pitch. Two ordered sets consisting of equal number of the focusing elements (5, 6) form input and output apertures (9,10) exhibiting focusing symmetry characteristics with the aid of the acting apertures (5, 6) thereof.

Abstract: An emod operation is a computational substitute for a traditional modulus operation, one that is computationally less expensive but also less precise. Where a modulus operation may be defined for some base number n, the emod operation determines a modulus of an operand using a "phantom modulus," one that is an integer multiple of n. The phantom modulus is chosen to make emod calculations computationally inexpensive when compared to a modulus operation. Thus, the emod operation is particularly useful for multiplications or exponential operations using very large operands. Upon conclusion of interstitial processing associated with the multiplications or exponential operations, a single, traditional modulus operation may be used to obtain a final result.

Abstract: There are provided a solid oxide fuel cell system comprising (a) a
solid oxide fuel cell stack, (b) a preliminary reformer for removing
hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms from a hydrocarbon fuel by
converting the hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms into methane,
hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, and (c) an integrated heat exchanger for
catalytic combustion for heating either air or fuel, or both the air and fuel, to
be guided to the solid oxide fuel cell stack, by use of a combustion gas formed
by combusting discharged fuel with the use of discharged air, wherein
component equipment described above are disposed in an adiabatic vessel
and the integrated heat exchanger for catalytic combustion for use in the
solid oxide fuel cell system. 
     With the invention, an advantage of the preliminary reformer in
combination with that of the integrated heat exchanger for catalytic
combustion can be obtained, and heat loss of the SOFC system is eliminated
or reduced as much as possible. 
     In addition, with the integrated heat exchanger for catalytic
combustion according to the invention, since air and / or fuel, to be fed to the
SOFC stack, can be heated by controlling the maximum temperature
achieved thereof, it is quite useful as an heat exchanger for an SOFC with
operation temperature on the order of 850°C or lower, particularly, for a
supported membrane type SOFC, and further, the same is quite useful in
making up an SOFC system because an inexpensive material can be used as
a constituent material of a component equipment of the system, the system
in whole can be reduced in size, and so forth.
