Abstract: A dispenser (100), a flexible sheet material roll (12), and a dispensing system for dispensing flexible meterial from the sheet material rolls. The system includes a rolled products dispenser and sheet material rolls. The dispenser includes opposing lateral side wall surfaces (104, 114), and a guide track (110, 111) located in each of the lateral side wall surfaces. At least one of the two guide tracks includes an elongated guide projection (124). Each sheet material roll includes flexible sheet material wound around a hollow center core having first and second ends, and first (118) and second (119) end caps positioned in respective ends of the hollow center core (116). Both end caps have an inwardly projecting portion located side the hollow centre core, and an outwardly projecting cylindrical spindle (120, 121) extending outwardly past their respective end of the hollow center core. The spindles guide the roll within the guide tracks of the dispenser. The spindle of one of the end caps includes at least one annular groove (126) in its circumference which interfaces with the elongated guide projection of the guide track, to provide a system where the roll is keyed to fit the dispenser. This assures proper orientation of the rolls in the dispenser, and provides an arrangement for coordinating the quality of the rolls being dispensed from specific dispensers.

Abstract: On décrit un système présentant un réseau de noeuds de radiodiffusion à propagation par réflexions multiples, lequel peut comporter un minimum de ressources matérielles, telles qu'une mémoire et une puissance de traitement. Ce réseau est configuré par collecte d'informations concernant ceux des noeuds qui peuvent communiquer les uns avec les autres selon une technique 'd'arrosage' à l'aide de comptages de bonds et de protocoles d'acheminement de type principal/secondaire. Un arbre recouvrant subdivisé est créé et des identificateurs de noeud sont assignés de manière à ce que l'identificateur d'un noeud secondaire comprenne, en tant que bits les plus représentatifs, l'identificateur de son noeud principal. Ceci permet à l'identificateur du noeud à utiliser de déterminer si le noeud doit traiter ou renvoyer le paquet, de manière à ce que le noeud puisse prendre des décision d'acheminement de paquets complets, à l'aide uniquement de son propre identificateur.

Abstract: A switchable pulldown film projection system comprising a film transport system for transporting film through a projector. The film transport system has a plurality of sprockets with teeth for engaging perforations on the film, and a pair of motors that rotate the sprockets and move the film in a frame-by-frame manner past an aperture in the projector. The motors are controlled by an electronic controller that changes the rotational output of the motors based on a signal related to the format of the film in terms of the number of perforations spanned by each frame on the film. The controller enables the system to switch between a variety of different film formats, on the same projector and on the same strip of film, without substantially interrupting or delaying operation of the projector.

Abstract: A system and method for comparing mass storage devices. Generally, a mass storage device is subdivided into data blocks representing physical storage locations of some particular size. For each one (or group) of data block(s), a digest is calculated, wherein the digest is an alternate representation of the data stored within the data block(s). A digest is highly dependent on the data it represents such that different data is extremely likely to result in different digests. This high dependence allows for comparing digests rather than directly comparing the data stored at each data block. Furthermore, by calculating a digest that requires fewer bits than the data block(s) it represents, the amount of data that must be transferred between mass storage devices during comparison is minimized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimeric target molecule having an activity which can be regulated or modulated by a binding molecule. The invention also relates to methods of using the chimeric target molecule to detect the presence and/or amount of a desired analyte in a sample. The analyte is a binding molecule, or a competitor of a binding molecule, which binding molecule, upon binding to the target molecule, alters the activity of the target molecule in a detectable way. In one aspect of the invention, a binding molecule binds to the chimeric molecule, inactivating it. An analyte in a test sample competes and/or displaces the binding molecule from the chimera, reactivating it. The reappearance of activity in the presence of the analyte indicates its existence in the test sample existence and amount. Another aspect of the invention relates to a binding molecule which regulates a chimeric target molecule and methods of producing it.
