Abstract: System for covering different types of surfaces,
especially for building use, consisting essentially of a
fundamental component (1) of quadrilateral shape made out
of a piece of sheet metal cut to the desired shape in
which two opposing pairs of mutually adjacent sides are
bent in opposite directions to form corresponding
opposing bent edges (11-12). When laid, those edges (11)
which are bent towards the outer surface of the component
(1) are uppermost and each component (1) is fixed to the
underlying structure by a single strap (7) bent at one
end which hooks into the inner vertex of these upper bent
edges (11). The individual components (1) are interconnectable
by a simple hook action in which said bent
edges (11-12) are inserted into each other. Other
complementary components for completing the sides of the
covering can be derived from the fundamental component
(1), and an additional ridge component (6) can be
provided for use in the case of roof coverings.

IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1997-08-08
Abstract: A hollow, frustum-shaped disposable device is used in an apparatus for
measuring the concentration of an analyte in a sample of a biological fluid. The
smaller end of the frustum has a porous membrane, to which a sample of the
fluid may be applied. Preferably, a reagent in the membrane reacts with the
analyte to cause a color change. The device is mounted on a meter, which
measures the color change and computes from the change the analyte
concentration in the sample. The apparatus permits remote dosing of the
device, which minimizes the likelihood of cross-contamination between the
user and the meter. Devices can be mounted on the meter and released from
the meter without touching them, to further protect against contamination.

Abstract: A method of detecting fractional channels in a telecommunications circuit. A non-idle
data rate is measured (200) for each channel (102) in the telecommunications circuit.
Channels having matching non-idle data rates are grouped (204) into sets. Non-idle data
rates are measured again (206) for the channels within each set. In each set, any channels
having non-matching non-idle data rates (with a small predetermined range of permissible
variability) are eliminated (208). The measurement for each set is repeated multiple times.
Each remaining set has channels that have substantially identical non-idle data rates over
multiple time periods and each remaining set is assumed to constitute a fractional channel.
Non-idle data rates are measured by counting non-idle octets (106) over a fixed period of
time, or by measuring throughput (non-idle octets per second) or by measuring utilization
(throughput/capacity). In an alternative embodiment, idle flags or shifted idle flags for non-encrypted
HDLC or SDLC protocols are used (212) to identify provisional sets of
channels. In still another embodiment, channels identified as voice channels are removed
(216) from provisional sets. 
     In an alternative embodiment, idle flags or shifted idle flags for non-encrypted HDLC or

Abstract: This invention provides means for processing a received digitally-modulated carrier signal to coherently
demodulate or, for some applications, coherently demodulate and decode said signal when the signal's
phase has an undesired component and/or to generate successive estimated values of said undesired
phase of the received signal. The signal processed is partially represented by a  composite trellis
diagram  formed by combining multiple  component trellis diagrams  which are phase-displaced versions
of a  root trellis diagram . Desired variations in signal parameter values that result from modulating the
signal effect transitions between states within the  root trellis diagram.  For some embodiments of this
invention, transitions between states within different  component trellis diagrams  for which phase values
are proximate,  trellis coupling transitions , are incorporated into the  composite trellis diagram  in a
periodic manner to accommodate undesired variations in the received signal's phase for which the rate
of change in phase is adequately small relative to the modulation rate but not otherwise restricted. The
received signal is processed in accord with the  composite trellis diagram  through appropriate
application of the Viterbi maximum likelihood processing algorithm or any sub-optimum variant,
derivative or counterpart thereof. A demodulated data sequence and/or a sequence of estimated values
of the received signal's phase are derived from appropriately structured path history values generated for
the multiple states in the  composite trellis diagram.  The received signal processed may have a
continuous envelope or may be comprised of a succession of non-overlapping signal bursts which
originate at one or more transmit locations as in a TDMA system.

Abstract: A measuring method for determination of the content of a
substance in a specimen on the basis of the value of a physical
property measured with the specimen in which the determination
is influenced by another substance coexisting with the object
substance in the specimen, is characterised in that: the value of
the physical property measured with the specimen with a known
content Ht of the coexisting substance is corrected to a value
Vc of the physical property calculated with a standard content
value Hts as the content Ht of the coexisting substance on the
basis of a correction table showing the relationship between
the contents Ht of the coexisting substance and set values V of
said physical property for the respective key contents of the
object substance. The measuring method permits instantaneous
determination with high precision of the content of a substance
for which no calibration curve can be prepared because of the
effects of a coexisting substance. The method can be executed by

Abstract: A method for determining the application of a sample fluid on an analyte strip
using first and second derivatives. Sample fluid, such as whole blood, is applied to a
reagent matrix and sensor readings, such as reflectance readings or current readings,
are taken of the fluid/reagent combination. The first and second derivatives of the
sensor readings are calculated. A predetermined incubation time period is begun at
either a local minimum in the first derivative or a local maximum following a local
minimum in the second derivative data. At the expiration of the incubation period,
another sensor reading is taken which is indicative of an analyte concentration in the
sample fluid (such as glucose concentration in a whole blood sample).

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un mécanisme de verrouillage conçu pour retenir un transducteur sensiblement dans une zone de rangement d'un disque de stockage d'une unité de disques. L'unité de disques comprend un ensemble actionneur ayant une surface de contact qui se déplace sur une voie d'actionnement. Ledit mécanisme de verrouillage comprend un bras, une surface de contact, un dispositif de retour, un déflecteur d'air et une butée secondaire. Le bras du mécanisme de verrouillage peut pivoter entre une position de contact dans laquelle sa surface de contact est positionnée sur la voie d'actionnement et une position de dégagement dans laquelle sa surface de contact est positionnée à l'extérieur de la voie d'actionnement. L'élément de retour comporte un corps ferromagnétique qui se déplace le long d'une voie qui est la plus proche d'un aimant de l'ensemble actionneur lorsque le bras du mécanisme de verrouillage se trouve en position de contact. L'attraction exercée par l'aimant sur le corps ferromagnétique sert à retenir le bras du mécanisme de verrouillage en position de contact pendant que le disque ne tourne pas. La butée secondaire est disposée à distance d'une butée d'arrêt brutal du mécanisme de verrouillage de l'unité de disques lorsque le bras est dans la position de contact. Cette butée secondaire entre en contact avec la butée d'arrêt brutal de l'unité de disques lors d'un déplacement suffisant du bras du mécanisme de verrouillage. Ceci permet d'amortir le mouvement dudit bras. En outre, la surface de contact du mécanisme de verrouillage est également conçue pour amortir le mouvement du bras du mécanisme de verrouillage.
