IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: An interaction simulator, such as a chatterbot, is connected with an external database, such as an electronic program guide. The information gathered during interaction, particularly conversational, is parsed and used to augment the database data. The interaction simulator may be guided by the data residing in the database so as to help fill in recognizable gaps by, for example, intermittently asking questions relating to the subject data requirement. The interaction simulator may be provided with specific response templates based on the needs of the database and a corresponding set of templates to extract the information required by the database. Another example database may be for recording and indexing by key word stories or other free-form verbal data uttered by the user. The interaction simulator may be programmed to help the user develop the story using templates designed for this purpose.

Patent EP-1334469-A2 (EP)
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: An anti-aliasing system provides anti-aliasing at the edges of objects in a displayed or printed image without video artifacts or the need for an expensive anti-aliasing buffer. As geometric data is rasterized, the rasterizer (102) identifies pixels on the edge of objects in the image being rendered. These pixels are then rendered at a higher resolution with a number if sub-pixels. The Z-buffer (109) is signaled as to which pixels will require the additional, higher resolution data. The Z-buffer (109) then dynamically allocates memory space in an additional memory unit (110) to hold that additional sub-pixel data. A memory offset or address is provided in the Z-buffer to direct the memory controller (115) to the appropriate address in the additional memory unit (110) when the data in the additional memory unit is being blended to produce the data defining the corresponding main pixel which data is then stored in the Z-buffer (109).

Abstract: An out-of-plane thermal buckle-beam microelectrical
mechanical actuator is formed on a planar substrate of semiconductor
material (e.g., silicon). The actuator includes first and second anchors
secured to the substrate and multiple elongated thermal buckle beams that
are secured between the anchors. The buckle beams are formed of
semiconductor material, such as polysilicon. In one implementation, the
buckling beams are coupled together by a pivot frame that includes a
frame base secured to each buckle beam and at least one pivot arm that is
coupled to the frame base at one end and includes a free end that pivots
out-of-plane when the actuator is activated. A cyclic current source directs
cyclic electrical current through the thermal buckle beams via the anchors
to impart thermal expansion of the buckle beams and hence a cyclic
buckling motion of them out of the plane (i.e., away from) the substrate. In
one implementation, the actuator has a characteristic resonant deflection
frequency range and the cyclic current is of a first frequency within the
resonant deflection frequency range.

Abstract: A fee accounting mechanism for reporting fees associated with the distribution and
use of digital works. Usage rights and fees are attached to digital works. The usage rights
define how the digital work may be used or further distributed. Usage fees are specified as
part of a usage right. The digital works and their usage rights and fees are stored in
repositories (201). The repositories control access to the digital works. Upon determination
that the exercise of a usage right requires a fee, the repository generates a fee reporting
transaction (302). Fee reporting is done to a credit server (301). The credit server collects the
fee information and periodically transmits it to a billing clearinghouse (303).

Abstract: A nanometer size roughened structure is formed on a surface of a light-emitting
element, and luminous efficiency is improved. 
     The roughened structure (18) on the surface of the light-emitting element (10,
14, 15) of the invention is formed into the following shape such that the refractive index
smoothly changes:
   1) the mean diameter of projections on the roughened surface (18) is
smaller than the light wavelength;   2) a pitch of the roughened surface (18) is irregular; and   3) positions of the top and bottom of the roughened surface (18) are
distributed from their mean values within the light wavelength in order to give a smooth
gradient of the refractive index.    
     The surface of such light-emitting element (10, 14, 15) is obtained by forming a
thin film on the surface of the light-emitting element using a resin composition which
contains a block copolymer or graft copolymer and forms a microphase-separated
structure in a self-organization manner; selectively removing at least one phase of the
microphase-separated structure of the thin film formed on the surface; and etching the
surface (18) of the light-emitting element using the remaining phase as an etching mask.

Abstract: Ce procédé consiste à presser avec une pression prédéterminée un organe (3) protubérant à travers un premier et un second élément (W1, W2) tout en faisant tourner un outil (1) rotatif à une première vitesse de rotation, de manière que le premier et le second élément (W1, W2) sont intercalées entre l'outil (1) rotatif et un outil (10) fixe. L'organe (3) protubérant en rotation passe à travers les éléments de manière à découper des structures dans les éléments placés sur le tour de l'outil, ce qui génère de la chaleur. Les chutes formées par le découpage au moyen de l'organe (3) protubérant sont accumulées à l'intérieur des éléments et agitées par les deux outils (1, 10), qui les font entrer en collision avec les structures périphériques des éléments et l'organe (3) protubérant, ce qui entraîne également la production de chaleur. Un premier épaulement (2) est pressé avec une pression prédéterminé  et entraîné en rotation de manière à générer de la chaleur et à provoquer la fusion des chutes. Pendant que le premier épaulement (2) active ainsi l'écoulement plastique, sa pression et sa vitesse de rotation sont réglées à des niveaux prédéterminés. La pression par unité de surface est ainsi accrue ce qui entraîne une augmentation du volume d'écoulement plastique. Lors du retrait en rotation de l'outil de rotation, les structures d'éléments qui ont subi un écoulement plastique sont refroidies et assemblées mutuellement.

Abstract: A method of improving the electrical conductivity of transparent conducting lines (32) carried on a substrate (46), particularly address lines on the active plate for a pixellated device such as an active matrix liquid crystal display or the like fabricated using a low mask count process, involves forming the lines on the substrate from a deposited layer of transparent conducting material (53), e.g. ITO, and provided on their upper surface with a covering layer (72') extending from at least one end (75) and partially covering the surface, and then performing an electroplating operation to plate the lines (80) with a plating potential being applied at that end. The covering layer (72') assists in achieving a more uniform plated layer (80) along the length of the line. The covering layer preferably comprises photoresist defined by selective patterning and partial etching of a deposited photoresist layer (54) used for patterning the transparent layer (53). In a pixellated device, pixel electrodes (38) are also defined from the transparent layer.
