Patent EP-1160721-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SULLIVAN BRIAN M
IPC: G06F21/32
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: Apparatus, and a related method, for providing a standardized measure of
accuracy of each biometric device (22) in a biometric identity authentication system
(FIG. 2) having multiple users. The apparatus maintains a statistical database (30) that
includes continually updated values of false acceptance rate and false rejection rate for
each combination of user, biometric device and biometric device comparison score.
False acceptance rate data are accumulated each time a user successfully accesses
the system, by comparing the user's currently obtained biometric data with stored
templates (28) of all other users of the same biometric device. The current user is
thereby treated as an "impostor" with respect to the other users, and the probability of an
impostor's obtaining each possible comparison score is computed with accumulated
data each time a successful access is made to the system. The statistical database (30)
also contains a false rejection rate for each combination of user, biometric device and
biometric device comparison score. These data are accumulated during a test phase in
which users' identities can be independently verified. During the test phase, a user's
current biometric data are compared with a previously stored template (28) and the
probability of obtaining each comparison score is continually computed. From these
probabilities, false rejection rates are estimated for each user, biometric device and
biometric comparison score.

Abstract: A method and computer program in which a user (132) may access the
registration web server (124) for the purpose of creating and utilizing a role
certificate. This role certificate has policies associated with it and may be utilized
for both encryption and as a digital signature. Individuals in a group share the
same role certificate and can sign on behalf of the group. Further, individuals may
decrypt messages sent to the group or any member of the group which have been
encrypted using the role certificate. This method and computer program utilizes a
directory (108) to maintain a list of all row certificates, their respective role
administrators and all members of the organization that may utilize them. A key
recovery authority (114) is utilized to recover expired row certificates. A certificate
authority (110) is utilized to create and delete these role certificates. Further, a
registration authority (112) is utilized to add and remove a previously created role.

Abstract: A receiver side of a two-wire type remote control system
accurately determines the polarity of data. The reception buffer inverts
an input from one of the data and electric communication lines, and
adds the inverted input to an input of the other line. Then, when the
result of the addition is 0 or close to 0, the reception switches buffer
logic data to be output to indicate the inversion of the level of the
equilibrium pulse-like power received from the communication lines.
The polarity identifying portion identifies the polarity when the logical
data sent from the reception buffer is maintained at a logic level for a
predetermined period of time. The polarity identifying portion sends
pulse group data to the data processing portion in accordance with the
identified polarity.

Abstract: A modular optimizer, for use in determining a configuration of a production line with one or more component placement machines, is configured to learn a foreign optimizer module associated with a component placement machine type foreign to the modular optimizer. The modular optimizer includes an adapting estimator which estimates an output value, such as a placement cycle time measure, for the foreign optimizer module. The estimated output value may be used in determining the configuration of the production line. In addition, the modular optimizer periodically calls the foreign optimizer module, and for a given one of the calls compares a resulting output value generated by the foreign optimizer module to the corresponding estimated output value generated by the adapting estimator. If for a given call of the foreign optimizer module the actual output value for a corresponding estimated value is determined to provide an improved result, one or more parameters of the estimator are altered so as to reduce an error associated with generation of subsequent estimated output values.

Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un moteur à courant continu sans balai (58) procurant une densité de puissance et une efficience accrues avec un temps de course améliorée. Le moteur (58) comporte un ensemble rotor (72) présentant un aimant permanent (74) fixé à un arbre. Une pluralité de bobines (94) pour la production d'un champ magnétique sont enroulées autour de l'ensemble rotor (72). Les bobines (94) comprennent des spires d'extrémité entourant l'ensemble rotor (72) de sorte que l'ensemble rotor (72) ne soit pas amovible. Etant donné que les enroulements (94) sont enroulés avec l'ensemble rotor (72) déjà entouré, il n'est pas nécessaire que les enroulements (94) présentent de larges spires d'extrémité pour permettre au rotor (72) d'être introduit par la suite. L'aimant permanent (74) est non magnétisé lorsque les bobines (94) sont enroulées autour de l'ensemble rotor (72) permettant ainsi de simplifier l'opération d'enroulement par le non couplage d'énergie dans le fil qui affecterait l'opération d'enroulement. On introduit l'ensemble enroulé dans un empilement statorique (96) constitué d'un matériau magnétique procurant un chemin de retour de flux magnétique au flux magnétique généré par l'aimant permanent (74).

Abstract: A dentifrice closure on a dentifrice tube can emit a signal upon the opening of the closure to dispense some of the dentifrice. The closure is comprised of a base portion to attach the closure to the dentifrice tube and a lid portion that closes the dispensing opening of the dentifrice tube and which contains switch timer and signal generator. The signal generator can be a light, but preferably is a sound generator, and most preferably a music generator. Upon the lid being opened, a switch activates the timer which in turn activates the signal generator. Regardless of the position of the switch after a lid opening (the lid can be quickly closed) the signal will be emitted for a set period of time.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé de coulage qui utilise la solidification rapide de métal, de métal de terres rates ou similaires, ainsi qu'à un appareil de coulage et à un alliage coulé. Un tel procédé de coulage centrifuge consiste à verser un matériau en fusion sur un corps rotatif; à produire l'aspersion de ce matériau en fusion sous l'effet de la rotation du corps rotatif; et à amener le matériau en fusion ainsi projeté à se déposer et à se solidifier sur la surface interne d'un moule cylindrique rotatif. L'axe de rotation du corps rotatif et l'axe de rotation du moule cylindrique sont placés en position non parallèle l'un par rapport à l'autre. Ce procédé de coulage centrifuge permet d'obtenir une diminution de la vitesse de dépôt moyenne. On parvient ainsi à supprimer la production de la phase de Feα dendritique ou la production d'une phase de ségrégation de Mn ou similaire, ce qui permet de produire un alliage d'aimant de terres rares de type R-T-B haute performance.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de traitement d'un substrat en silicium disposé dans une chambre de traitement de substrat, qui consiste tout d'abord à transporter le substrat dans la chambre de traitement de substrat. Un masque dur est formé à la surface du substrat et une photorésine à motifs recouvre le masque dur de façon à exposer des parties dudit masque dur. Ladite chambre est du type comportant un système d'alimentation source et un système d'alimentation polarisée. Le procédé consiste par ailleurs à graver les parties exposées du masque dur de manière à exposer des parties du substrat de silicium en position sous-jacente au masque dur. La photorésine à motifs est ensuite exposée à un premier plasma formé à partir d'un premier gaz de traitement aux fins du retrait de la photorésine du masque dur. Le substrat en silicium exposé est alors gravé par exposition à un second plasma formé à partir d'un second gaz de traitement au moyen d'une application d'énergie radioélectrique et d'une polarisation du plasma en direction du substrat. Le substrat est finalement transféré hors de la chambre de traitement.
