Patent EP-1361697-A2 (EP)
Title: Network management system architecture
Inventor: BEST MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: A new architecture for deploying network management and service provisioning
solutions is provided. The new architecture includes the provision of a framework
implementing a software development methodology for coding complex software
applications relating to network management and service provisioning. The software
development methodology results in software application code that is easy to:
understand, debug, extend, test, and deploy while still being efficient when used in
real time. The methodology includes the coding, compiling and linking of a single
managed object class. The managed object class is used to model and represent
different data network entities in accordance with attributes held therein. The
methodology further makes use of a network management and service provisioning
specific grammar used by a parser associated with the framework to read a body of
attribute files associated with the data network entities. Data network management
and service provisioning solutions are enabled via network management and service
provisioning enabling technologies. The interpretation of the contents of the attribute
files is performed by hierarchical lexical analyzer which when encountering an
enabling technology specific directive, the directive is interpreted by a corresponding
enabling technology specific lexical analyzer stub. The advantages provided by the
software development methodology are derived from application code that is easy to:
understand, debug, extend, test, and deploy while still being efficient when used in
real time.

Patent EP-1399885-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIMMEL RONNY
IPC: G06V10/60
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: A system and a method solve the estimation problem of finding reflectance and illumination L. The system and method solve a functional of the unknown illumination L such that a minimum of the functional is assumed to yield a good estimate of the illumination L. Having a good estimate of the illumination L implies a good estimate of the reflectance R. The functional uses a variational framework to express requirements for the optimal solution. The requirements include: 1) that the illumination L is spatially smooth; 2) that the reflectance values are in the interval [0,1]- thus, when decomposing the image S, the solution should satisfy the constraint L >;3) that among all possible solutions, the estimate of the illumination L should be as close as possible to the image S, so that the contrast of the obtained R is maximal; and 4) that the reflectance R complies with typical natural image behavior (e.g., the reflectance is piece-wise smooth).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une architecture de commande étagée pour la manutention, comprenant plusieurs niveaux de commandes, par exemple trois niveaux. Les commandes du niveau le plus bas coopèrent directement avec des capteurs et des actionneurs utilisés dans le système de manutention, tels que des cellules optiques et des moteurs sur des convoyeurs.  Ces commandes du niveau le plus bas reçoivent des ordres d'un niveau supérieur, à savoir d'une ou de plusieurs commandes de niveau intermédiaire, lesquelles reçoivent à leur tour des ordres et des informations d'un niveau encore plus élevé d'au moins une commande de niveau supérieur. La conception de chaque commande de niveau intermédiaire et inférieur est telle qu'elles contiennent suffisamment d'intelligence pour traiter un grand nombre de signaux et de messages qu'elles reçoivent, sans devoir les transmettre à la commande du niveau plus élevé et attendre les instructions de cette dernière. Ce système, qui répartit l'intelligence entre les commandes, est parfaitement adapté comme système de commande pour convoyeurs.
