Title: Chirurgie orthopedique assistee par ordinateur
Inventor: KRAUSE NORMAN M
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés de mise en oeuvre d'opérations chirurgicales assistées par ordinateur et, plus précisément, des dispositifs et des procédés de mise en oeuvre d'opérations chirurgicales orthopédiques assistées par ordinateur qui exploitent la rétroaction péropératoire. Un modèle en trois dimensions de la région du patient devant subir une opération chirurgicale est modélisé au moyen de techniques logicielles. Le modèle logiciel permet de produire un plan chirurgical, y compris la mise en place de marqueurs multifonctionnels, en vue de la réalisation de l'opération chirurgicale. Une fois les marqueurs placés sur le patient, on prend une image actualisée du patient, que l'on utilise pour calculer un plan chirurgical final en vue de la réalisation du reste de l'opération chirurgicale. La modélisation tridimensionnelle, la planification chirurgicale, et la chirurgie peuvent être réalisées à distance les unes des autres. Les différentes entités peuvent communiquer par le biais d'un réseau de communications électroniques, par exemple l'Internet.

Abstract: A graphics processing system comprises a graphics processor (2) for carrying out an image processing, a control processor (1) for use in producing a draw ready signal to enable the image processing, and a time counter (3) for use in determining a process time for the image processing. The graphics processor (2) begins execution of the image processing in response to the reception of the draw ready signal and produces a draw complete signal upon completion of the image processing. The draw complete signal represents the completion of the image processing. The time counter (3) begins determination of the execution load in response to the reception of the draw ready signal and terminates the determination in response to the reception of the draw complete signal. This makes it possible to determine the process time from the beginning and to the end of the drawing.

audio content of digital signals. The technology determines one or more hash
values for the original audio content of a digital signal. In one implementation
described herein, audio content recognition facilitates identification of the original
audio content and other audio content that is substantially perceptually same to the
original audio content. In another implementation described herein, audio content
recognition facilitates semantic categorization of such original content so that it
may be grouped with other audio works in the same semantic category. This
abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the
present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.

IPC: H04N7/32

Abstract: A two-step motion prediction for MPEG-2 interpolation case-D will yield visual artifacts if not
corrected. An improved MPEG-2 decoder includes a logic gate, multiplexer, and adder.
When both the horizontal (h 0 ) and vertical (h 1 ) motion vector components require a half pixel
interpolation (case-D), the multiplexer forwards the constant minus three to the adder,
otherwise a constant zero is used. Such adder modifies the DC coefficient input to the
inverse discrete cosine transformer to include a correction term for the predicted pixels
calculated by a two-step predictor. A correction value of -0.375 is evenly distributed over
all sixty-four resulting spatial coefficients during the inverse discrete cosine transform. This
results statistically in a slightly brighter set of correction terms. Such offsets result in a slightly
darker prediction that is formed by the two-step predictor. The output frames are
statistically correct images.

Abstract: To create an individual and artistic image on a large surface, e.g. a wall or ceiling and especially at buildings, the surface (2) is coated (3) with a material which can be hardened and set, and is polished where the image is to be made. When the coating has fully set, flexible frame sections for elements (5,6) of the image (1) are fitted temporarily on the coating. The zones flanking the outside of the fitted frame sections are coated with a material which can be hardened, and in a thickness matching the frame thickness, or projecting over the frame level. When the top coating has set, the frame sections are removed mechanically. The outer coating is a colored plaster. If the design is for a floor surface, the whole surface area is covered by a protective coating against wear.

Abstract: An expandable tire building drum, having alternating fixed (226, 326,
426) and expanding (228, 328, 428) segments (e.g. 24 of each) in a center
section (220, 320, 420) of the drum. The expanding segments are axially-extending
and circumferentially spaced from one another, and are contoured
(have recesses, or grooves) to accommodate tire components such as sidewall
inserts. Two different mechanisms for expanding the center section are
described. A first mechanism includes two wedge elements (358) which are
axially moveable away from one another to expand the center section. Ramp
elements (348) associated with the expanding segments (328) may thus be
moved radially outward. Rubber bands (338) provide a restoring force for
collapsing the center section. A second mechanism includes two guide rings
(458) which are axially moveable towards one another for expanding the center
section, and away from one another to collapse the center section. Overlapping
links (462, 464) are provided between the guide rings and a support element
(448) supporting the expanding segments (428).

Abstract: Electrically conducting electrodes, are produced using an injection molding unit with a plastifying worm and a nozzle that delivers the material. <??>A process for producing electrically conducting electrodes, especially bipolar plates for fuel cells, comprises injection molding using a unit which has a plastifying worm (16). The material molded is a compound material which uses polymeric plastic as a binder, and more than 80wt% of a powdery electrically conducting material e.g. graphite etc as the filler material. The plastifier delivers the material via a nozzle which is less than 15mm in length. The injection molding unit flow path does not reduce in cross section from the supply point to the mould, by more than 10:1 especially 5:1. The compression ratio in the plastifier worm is no more than 1.6:1, and is between 1:1.2 and 1:1 for duroplasts. The electrodes are formed by injection stamping. The electrodes are later tempered or sintered.
