Abstract: A process and installation (1) are claimed for the sterilisation of medical products by irradiation. Products are carried on conveyors (10-21) from a loading station (2) to an unloading station (4), via a casing (6) containing the irradiation station (7). The products are rearranged near the irradiation station. Products are marked with an identification code and are carried on the conveyor on trays, also marked with identification codes. These codes can be read by scanners at various points around the circuit to monitor progress. <??>Three conveyors are arranged in series in the irradiation station. The first and second consist of pairs of chains carrying retractable fingers. When these are extended, they draw products along the conveyor at exactly the same speed as which it is moving, ensuring consistent treatment time. <??>The first conveyor moves slightly slower than the other two. The second is split into two half conveyors, with the sterilising rays being emitted between them. The third conveyor moves faster than the other two, taking products away from the treatment zone without a bottle neck. As the conveyors (11-13 and 18-20) enter and leave the treatment casing (6) one is positioned directly above the other. Ramps are used to raise and lower the levels, as the loading and unloading stations (2 and 4) are at the same level.

Abstract: A combination infrared/convection dryer or oven for drying travelling webs. A shutter assembly is provided between the infrared radiation source and the moving web in order to selectively expose the web to infrared radiation. Drying efficiency is optimized by adding heated impinged air at high velocity on the machine direction ends and between the infrared elements. The air being discharged on the web is heated as it is pulled across the elements to a centralized return air duct. The return air is pulled into the inlet of a close coupled supply fan which then discharges the air to the nozzles. A portion of the air is also exhausted to atmosphere to maintain the oven enclosure in a negative pressure state, thus drawing fresh make-up air into the oven housing through the web inlet and outlet slots. Flotation nozzles can be used where contactless support of the running web is desired. Enhanced drying of the web and/or a coating on the web at high speed is achieved without a concomitant increase in dryer length.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying an object having a pattern of plasmon resonant particles (PREs) distributed in or on the object are disclosed. In the method, a field containing the pattern is illuminated, and one or more spectral emission characteristics of the light-scattering particles in the field are detected. From this data, an image of positions and spectral characteristic values in the field is constructed, allowing PREs with a selected spectral signature to be discriminated from other light-scattering entities, to provide information about the field. The image may be compared to a database of reference images to identify or validate the object.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé servant à mettre en oeuvre une reconfiguration d'un réseau cellulaire de télécommunications, par exemple dans le cas où une station de base ne fonctionne plus ou que la capacité de trafic doit être augmentée par fractionnement de cellule. Chaque organe de commande de station de base, ainsi qu'un système de support d'opérateur comportent une base de données contenant des ensembles de paramètres ou profils de cellules stockés au préalable. Si l'un de ces profils de cellules stockés convient pour une reconfiguration, il peut être sélectionné dans le système de support d'opérateur, puis récupéré dans la base de données de chaque organe de commande de station de base concernée. Ce procédé permet d'éviter de devoir effectuer des contrôles de cohérence du profil de cellule, ces contrôles ayant été effectués avant stockage. De plus, seule une commande simple doit être envoyée à l'organe de commande de stations de base, et il n'est pas nécessaire de transmettre le fichier complet contenant tous les paramètres de la cellule. De cette manière, des reconfigurations sont mises en oeuvre de façon plus efficace.

Abstract: Methods and systems of the present invention obtain a motion vector between two frames of video image data. Specifically, methods and systems of the present invention may be used to estimate a motion vector for each macroblock of a current frame with respect to a reference frame in a multi-stage operation. In a first stage, an application implementing the process of the present invention coarsely searches a first search area of the reference frame to obtain a candidate supermacroblock that best approximates a supermacroblock in the current frame. In a second stage, the supermacroblock is divided into a plurality of macroblocks. Each of the macroblocks is used to construct search areas which are then searched to obtain a candidate macroblock that best appropriates a macroblock in the current frame. Additional stages may be used to further fine-tune the approximation to the macroblock. The methods and systems of the present invention may be used in optimizing digital video encoders, decoders, and video format converters.
