Abstract: L'invention concerne un vidéo télescope venant en aide à toute personne qui, par une vision déficiente, ne perçoit pas correctement des objets cibles adjacents de trop petite taille, trops distants ou insuffisamment contrastés. Le télescope offre un traitement d'image en temps réel, avec commande de zoom variable permettant de localiser et d'agrandir l'objet cible, et fonction d'amélioration de contraste pour clarifier et donc pour identifier l'objet. Le télescope comporte d'autres fonctions facilitant le traitement en temps réel d'images d'objets, dans des conditions d'observation défavorables, du type éclairage faible et niveau élevé d'éclairage d'ambiance. Le télescope permet un réglage éliminant de façon dynamique l'information parasite présente dans l'image, moyennant quoi il est possible de se concentrer sur la caractéristique voulue de l'objet représenté par l'image, et de faciliter la perception et la reconnaissance d'objet.

Abstract: A defective pixel detection and correction mechanism (110) for use in an
image sensor integrated circuit determines whether a current pixel is a defective
pixel in a consistent manner from frame to frame. The defective pixel detection and
correction mechanism (110) also replaces defective pixels with stable replacement
values. The defective pixel detection and correction mechanism (110) has a
defective pixel detection mechanism (210) that employs a look-up table (230) with
defective pixel locations for providing a non-varying determination of whether a
pixel is defective or non-defective. The defective pixel detection and correction
mechanism also has a defective pixel correction mechanism (220) that employs a
consistent replacement choice facility (254) to provide a previous pixel value in the
same frame, on the same row, and a predetermined number of pixels from the
current pixel location as a replacement value and a replacement unit (e.g.,
multiplexer) (250) for replacing the defective pixel value with the replacement
value.

IPC: E05B37/08

Abstract: A locking mechanism for a safe has an engagement
element (302) movable from a disengaged position to an
engageable position thereof. When the engagement element (302)
is put in its engageable position, a manual force moves the
engagement element (302) to drive a lock-bolt (212) to an
unlocking position. According to the invention, the engagement
element (302) is connected to an electric motor (300) having two
magnetic detents, corresponding to the disengaged and engageable
positions. The required electrical power is generated solely
during the course of the user inputting a code to put the
engagement element (302) into its engageable position. Once the
engagement is obtained, the movement of the lock-bolt (212) to
its unlocking position is obtained strictly manually. A
subsequent unlocking requires the provision of a correct code.

Abstract: A scanning circuit and an image display device in which
the influence of losses in a signal path to scanning wiring
and a scanning signal output circuit can be reduced. By
considering matrix drive in which one row is driven at a time
and two or more of the rows are not simultaneously driven,
the 480 rows are divided into six modules and one feedback
circuit is provided in correspondence with each module to
perform feedback control of the output buffers corresponding
to 80 rows. An output from a switch is amplified by an
operational amplifier and is input as a compensation signal
to all the output buffers by an output voltage compensation
circuit. Compensation for a voltage drop is made by using
the compensation signal for an increase in voltage such that
the apparent voltage drop due to the output current is limited
to a small value.

Abstract: An automated airbag deployment system employs an additional switch
that is utilized to prevent inadvertent triggering of the gas discharge initiator
mechanism. The additional switch member is placed in parallel with the airbag
initiator triggering device. This is a normally closed switch which effectively
short-circuits the two electrical contacts of the airbag initiator triggering member.
This short-circuit effectively prevents inadvertent triggering of this mechanism of
the device through static electricity or some other undesired electrical event. The
short-circuit mechanism may be utilized to provide improved safety throughout
the manufacturing process as well as after the product has been incorporated
into a passenger compartment. The resultant product that incorporates this
device is much more stable and provides an additional margin of safety.

Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: Le mode de réalisation illustré de la présente invention décrit un procédé permettant d'enregistrer et d'utiliser des associations d'objets déterminées par un système de localisation, dans un salon commercial. Les emplacements d'objets sont déterminés en fonction de signaux générés par des identificateurs d'objets reliés aux participants du salon commercial et transmis à un dispositif électronique en interface avec un réseau. L'origine du signal est calculée par un module déterminant des emplacements, en fonction de plusieurs facteurs, tels quel la position connue des récepteurs recevant le signal, la position historique enregistrée du participant, les caractéristiques des récepteurs du signal (la portée, par exemple), la force du signal reçu, le type de signal et le fait que le signal ait été répété ou non. Une fois l'emplacement du participant déterminé, le module déterminant les emplacements consulte une base de données pour déterminer des associations entre les participants localisés et d'autres personnes, objets, éléments d'exposition ou emplacements spécifiés, en fonction de leur proximité avec le participant localisé. Une fois l'association déterminée, elle est stockée et sa durée est enregistrée ultérieurement. Les données provenant des associations identifiées peuvent ensuite être utilisées de plusieurs manières sous forme de données d'entrée pour diverses applications, telles qu'un logiciel créant des pistes sur les clients potentiels et des publicités ciblées pour les participants du salon commercial, en fonction de leur emplacement courant.

Abstract: A method and system for feeding and burning pulverized fuel, such as petroleum
coke, in a glass melting furnace, which includes a glass melting and a plurality of
burners associated with a pair of sealed regenerative chambers disposed side-by-side
which act as heat exchangers, the burners are arranged in a series of ports that
are associated with the glass melting region of the furnace. The system includes
means for supplying the pulverized fuel by each one of the burners for melting
glass raw materials. The emissions of flue gases produced by the combustion process
of the fuel in the furnace are controlled in order to maintain clean the flue
gases and for reducing the emission of impurities from the fuel such as SOx, NOx
and particulates. The regenerative chambers are manufactured with selected refractories
such as, magnesium, zircon-silica-alumina or magnesia and zirconium-silicate,
for conteracting the erosive and corrosive effects produced by the combustion
process of the fuel in the glass melting chamber. A burner is also provided
for feeding the petroleum coke, the burner including means to simultaneously mix
a primary air and pulverized fuel-air mixture for the burning of the pulverized
fuel.
