Patent EP-1258833-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WISCHERMANN GERHARD W
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 2002-04-08
Abstract: An arrangement for processing video signals comprises at
least one linear filter and at least one non-linear filter
with inputs for an input signal and selection means for
receiving output signals of the at least one linear and of
the at least one non-linear filter and for generating a
selected output signal which corresponds to a selected one
of the output signals whereby the selection is performed
according to a pretermined rank order. The arrangement can
be used in various video signal processing applications,
especially image restoration or noise reduction, image or
pattern recognition, image compression, image enhancement
(contour sharpening or softening), image interpolation (up
or down sampling), and flicker compensation.

Abstract: A suspension mechanism (20) is formed as a liquid-tight
structure by fitting the bottom end of a female screw member (37)
using a liquid-tight sealing member provided between a slider
and a retainer (25) and by covering the retainer (25) with the liquid- tight
sealing member. A highly-pressurized liquid is initially
supplied to each clearance formed between any components such
as liquid-tight sealing member, female screw member (37), male screw
member (23) and retainer (25) through a liquid supply passage formed
through the liquid-tight sealing member. The highly-pressurized
liquid is supplied by an amount flows out through the screwing
portions between the male and female screw members to maintain
the pressure of liquid within the liquid-tight structure in a
predetermined range.

Inventor: DANCE CHRISTOPHER R
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 2002-07-04
Abstract: Perspective distortion is estimated in a digital document image by detecting
perspective pencils in two directions, one being parallel to text lines, and the other
being parallel to the boundaries of formatted text columns. The pencils are detected by
analyzing directional statistical characteristics of the image. To detect a pencil, a first
statistical line transform is applied to transform the image into line space, and a second
statistical score transform is applied to transform the image into pencil space. A
dominant peak in pencil space identifies the perspective pencil. In addition, a
computationally efficient line summing technique is used for effecting sums of pixels
along inclined target lines (or curves) through an image. The technique includes pregenerating
partial sums, and summing along step segments of a target line using the
partial sums.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information distribution
apparatus capable of performing efficient information
distribution. 
The information distribution apparatus according to the
present invention is an information distribution apparatus
that performs multicast transmissions of information to a
plurality of mobile terminals, this information being
relayed by a plurality of base stations, and is constituted
comprising a multicast address allocation apparatus. The
multicast address allocation apparatus comprises a mobile
terminal information database for storing location
information on the mobile terminals, and user registration
information, and extracts, from the mobile terminal
information database, the mobile terminals which are the
targets of the information distribution on the basis of the
information stored in the mobile terminal information
database and of designation information transmitted by the
information supply terminal, to thereby allocate amulticast
address. The information distribution apparatus then
transmits a paging signal, which has the multicast address
added thereto, to the areas in which the designated terminals
thus extracted are located, and makes multicast
transmissions to the mobile terminals which respond to the
paging signal.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a modulated RZ pulse source comprises a
modulated light source optically coupled to a stabilized Bragg grating filter and one or
more optical taps. The light source is preferably modulated in power and frequency
and has an adjustable channel wavelength λ. The Bragg grating filter has a reflectivity
bandwidth having a high slope reflectivity cutoff and is preferably tunable. A feedback
arrangement responsive to the taps keeps the source channel wavelength λ on the edge
of the reflectivity bandwidth for shaping RZ pulses. When the Bragg grating is
stabilized, the feedback system maintains λ at a value linked to the grating reflectivity
edge and, by overlapping at least part of the optical spectrum of the source, converts the
modulated source light into RZ pulses with high extinction ratio (≥ 12 dB). The result
is a high power, jitter-free RZ pulse source that is compact, inexpensive and power
efficient.

Abstract: The connector comprises a manual ring actuator (86)
operatively connected to a valve (34) so as to permit air
to be conducted to a fastener driving tool (24) when the
actuator is moved to an extreme position. When the tool is
activated and its nosepiece engaged with a substrate, it
will be enabled and it can be fired. Exhaust generated from
each firing operation maintains a piston (52) of the valve
(34) at the desired position so as to permit the air to
reach the tool. If it is not fired for a predetermined
period of time the valve (34) is moved, under the influence
of a spring (62) or a pneumatic-biasing force, to a
position which disables the tool. Enablement of the tool is
only again achieved by moving the actuator (86) to the
extreme position. The disabling of the tool prevents the
inadvertent or accidental firing of the tool.

Abstract: A method and system for simulating changes in volatility for a price of a particular option
on an underlying financial instrument is disclosed. A volatility surface model having at least one
surface parameter is provided along with a set of volatilities for a plurality of options on the
underlying financial instrument. The set of volatilities is analyzed to determine an initial value
for each surface parameter which, when used in the surface model, defines a surface
approximating the set of volatilities under normal market conditions. The values of the surface
parameters are then evolved using an appropriate evolution function. Prior to applying the
surface parameters to the model, the parameter values can be adjusted to introduce changes in
offset, skew, term, or other parameters of the volatility surface to allow for simulation of unusual
market conditions. A volatility value for a particular option is extracted from the volatility
surface defined by the evolved and stress-adjusted surface parameter values. The extracted
volatility value can then be used in an option pricing model to provide a price of the particular
option.
