Title: Hidden markov modeling for radar electronic warfare
Inventor: LAVOIE PIERRE
IPC: G01S7/02
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying modem radar systems.  A  finite state automaton comprising a finite set of states and a set of transitions from state to state that occur in dependence upon an input signal is provided for modeling the radar system. The finite state automaton produces a sequence of output symbols from an output alphabet in dependence upon the state transitions such that the sequence of output symbols corresponds to a received electromagnetic signal emitted from the radar system. The finite state automaton is then transformed into a hidden Markov model such that a sequence of observation symbols produced from an observation alphabet by the hidden Markov model is equal to the sequence of output symbols. The method provides powerful tools for solving electronic warfare problems such the classification problem, the decoding problem, the prediction problem and the training problem. Describing the radar system as a finite state automaton and transforming it into a hidden Markov model provides flexibility and preserves a maximum of information provided by the observed signals. The new method is compatible with conventional receiver front-ends and allows integration into a wide range of legacy ES, EA and ELINT systems. The only hardware requirement is a fast processor with sufficient memory.

Abstract: The use of an HTML form for data entry can entail significant disadvantages.  The present invention provides a method of entering information into a data record which utilises a virtual environment. A user can direct an avatar in this environment and at least one location in the virtual environment is associated with a field of said record and with one or more selectable information options for inclusion in said field. The user is provided with representations of the selectable information options distributed around the location and the position of the avatar in the virtual environment is monitored. In the event that the avatar moves into a predefined proximity with one of the representations of the selectable options, the selection of that one of the selectable options is detected and that selected one option is then stored in the associated field of the data record.

Title: Regulation d'ecoulement capillaire dans un dispositif de diagnostique fluidique
Inventor: SHARTLE ROBERT JUSTICE
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 2001-03-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de diagnostic médical destiné à mesurer la concentration ou la propriété d'analytes d'un fluide biologique. Le dispositif comporte deux canaux d'écoulement capillaire servant à acheminer un échantillon du fluide d'une entrée à un point de branchement, puis à une zone de mesure et, éventuellement, à une zone de débordement par un canal de dérivation. Un premier raccordement d'arrêt bloque le fluide après son entrée dans la zone de mesure. Le canal de dérivation possède une dimension capillaire dans un sens au moins. Un second raccordement d'arrêt, dans le canal de dérivation, comporte une région frontière de dimension supérieure dans le même sens et forme un angle dirigé vers le point de branchement. Grâce à cette configuration, le second raccordement d'arrêt empêche initialement l'écoulement vers la zone de débordement, puis le permet après remplissage de la zone de mesure. Le dispositif est particulièrement adapté à la mesure du temps de coagulation du sang.

Abstract: Non-textile fabric panels (Figure 17) are either formed and joined, or joined by using plates or elements 1, 2, 51, 52 having edges with connection structures of complementary shaped and spaced knuckles 54, 55, 58 that interfit with one another. The knuckles include surfaces 57, 56, 59, that interfit and engage similar structures on adjacent elements or plates. Aligned, interfitting connection structures or knuckles can hinge along major bending axes, giving the non-textile fabric made thereby the ability to flex and bend like textile fabric or leather. Buttressing surfaces 7, 57 between connected knuckles help prevent early disengagement of interfitting surfaces when the non-textile fabric is subjected to strong tensile forces. Elements 51, 52 having the overall shape of a right isoscoles triangle in the plane of the non-textile fabric panels made according the invention can be interleaved in a post manufacturing operation to make strong and almost invisible seams between panels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a progressive multifocal ophthalmic lens having a far vision region, an intermediate vision region and a near vision region, a main meridian of progression passing through said three regions, and a power addition equal to a difference in mean sphere between a near vision region control point and a far vision region control point. The lens has a progression length less than 12 mm, defined as the vertical distance between a mounting center and a point on the meridian where mean sphere is greater than mean sphere at the far vision control point by 85% of the power addition value. To ensure excellent optical performance of the lens despite this short length of progression, the ratio between the product of cylinder times the norm of sphere gradient, and the square of power addition is less than 0.08 mm-1 at every point within a 40 mm diameter disc centered on the center of the lens.  Additionally, cylinder within that part of the disc situated above the mounting center is less than 0.5 times power addition. These features ensure optical performances of the lens, despite the low value of the progression length.
