Title: Multiple company integrated documents production
Inventor: DEJOSEPH ANTHONY B
IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: A single document page with multiple different variable indicia from at least two discrete sources is produced using a computer control and an imaging system (such as a selective flexographic system with ion deposition or ink jet stations), variable database streams and variable data streams from at least two discrete sources are fed to the same computer control, which is then used to control the imaging system to merge the variable database streams and variable data streams from at least two discrete sources so that they may be imaged on the same document page. Paper is fed to the imaging system, and using the imaging system the same document page is imaged with variable database indicia from the multiple discrete sources. Three, or even more, discrete sources can be utilized, and each discrete source may also have a distinct form structure so that the variable data indicia and variable database indicia are each placed in their own distinct form structure. The variable database streams may include company name and logo data, coupon data, direct marketing messages, and/or images, or the like, while the variable data streams includes alphanumeric characters which convey account and/or billing information. All of the indicia may be imaged on the same face of a single sheet (e.g. having a maximum length of about 12 inches and a maximum width of about 9 inches), and imagining may take place on a web which is then cut into individual single pages.

Title: Method and apparatus for prioritized release of connections in a communications network
Inventor: BOSLOY JONATHAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for the ordered release of connections from a network entity in a signalling communications network upon the detection of the failure of a signalling link or a port corresponding to such connections. A priority indicator is associated with each of the connections. Each priority indicator is selected from a priority hierarchy having several priority levels which varies from highest priority to lowest priority.  Upon detection of the failure of a signalling link or port, every connection associated with the failed signalling link or port is released. The release of the connections takes place at the network entity in a sequence which corresponds to the priority hierarchy. A method and device are also provided for the ordered release of connections carried on a logical truck having a variable capacity, for example an IMA trunk, upon the detection of a reduction in capacity. The IMA trunk may be provided on several physical links. A priority indicator and traffic rate are associated with each of the connections carried on the IMA trunk. Upon detection of the reduction in bandwidth, a group of connections having an aggregate traffic rate corresponding to the reduced capacity of the IMA trunk is selected and the connections of the group are released in a sequence corresponding to the priority hierarchy.

Title: Apparatus and method for generating on-screen-display messages using one-bit pixels
Inventor: DINWIDDIE AARON HAL
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1996-10-16
Abstract: An apparatus and concomitant method for generating an OSD message by constructing an OSD bitstream having a plurality of "one-bit" pixels. The OSD bitstream contains an OSD header and OSD data. An OSD unit retrieves pixel control information from the OSD header which is programmed by a processor of a decoding/displaying system. The OSD header contains information that is used to program a color palette of the OSD unit and to provide instructions as to the treatment of the OSD data. If the "Compressed Pixel Mode" is enabled in the OSD header, then the OSD unit will treat each bit of the OSD data as a "one-bit" pixel.

Ces revêtements s'utilisent en particulier sur des instruments médicaux dans des cas où un praticien désire localiser ou visualiser un instrument par formation d'images ultrasoniques lorsque l'instrument est introduit dans une cavité du corps. Ces revêtements peuvent être appliqués sur n'importe quel instrument présentant à peu près n'importe quelle composition. Pour réaliser ces revêtements, on forme une matrice de polymère contenant un gaz piégé dans des bulles intérieures ou des conduits ou cavités à surface ouverte. Des aiguilles recouvertes du revêtement sont visibles par ultrasons lorsqu'elles sont introduites dans le corps d'animaux. On peut appliquer une précouche ou couche de base pour conditionner la surface afin d'améliorer l'adhérence. On peut appliquer une couche de finition pour augmenter la durabilité, le lissé, la biocompatibilité, le pouvoir lubrifiant, l'activité antibiotique, antimicrobienne, anti-thrombogénique, et d'autres propriétés voulues du produit fini. L'invention concerne également des liquides de revêtement et des procédés de préparation et d'application de tels revêtements, y compris la formation de bulles par réaction chimique pendant le procédé de revêtement.

IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: A number of fault injection circuits and corresponding methods for injecting correlated, uncorrelated, non-persistent and persistent faults at the primary outputs of boundary scan cells are disclosed. Fault data is loaded in the boundary scan cell update latch of all boundary scan cells at which a fault is to be injected.  The fault injection circuits generate a fault inject signal which is applied to the control input of the standard cell output selector, an active signal causing the content of the update latch to be applied to the cell primary output. In embodiments for injecting correlated, non-persistent faults, the data loaded into the update latch serves as both the fault data to be injected and also as a fault flag indicating whether the data is to be injected at the output of the cell and a fault type signals) is applied to indicate the type of fault to be injected. In embodiment, for injecting uncorrelated (different faults at each site) and/or persistent faults (which persist after structural tests) , the fault flag is stored in a fault flag latch or register which is arranged in parallel with the boundary scan cell update latch in such a manner that the fault data and fault flag data can be independently loaded into the update latch and fault flag latches, respectively, from the standard boundary scan cell shift register using a standard shift operation in which the boundary scan cell serial inputs and serial outputs are connected in series between the Test Access Port Test Data Input and Test Data Output. In embodiments for injecting persistent faults, logic is provided to prevent the data from being changed while the cells are in fault injection mode. In order to provide for scan testing of the fault injection circuitry, the boundary scan cell shift and update latches and the fault flag latch (if employed) are provided with hold capability so that the contents of these elements can be controlled and their input captured in accordance with standard scan testing techniques.

Title: Receptacle for preparing medicines and injection kit containing same and filtering adapter
Inventor: IMBERT ELLIOT
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: The invention concerns the preparation of active products and medicines to be injected from a kit, when such preparation requires in particular a disposable syringe and auxiliary preparation receptacle. The receptacle is made in light metal, such as aluminium, highly heat conducting thereby making the receptacle very difficult to be held with bare hands when it is heated on a flame for preparing the mixture to be injected. The invention enables the use of a plastic element present in the kit as a strip for grasping the receptacle with bare hands, shaped to provide it with a safe connection, and to suck in the active product while observing the aseptic conditions required for the operation. The preparation receptacle has the shape of a crucible delimited by a rim (2) with a protruding part (4) providing a link between the receptacle (1) and a syringe adapter (5). A sleeve (9) of the syringe (8) needle (10) incorporates a filter (12) to purify the suction.
