Patent EP-1064690-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HUDSON RICHARD
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1999-03-12
Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method and device for implementing a dynamic End of Discharge Voltage (EODV) for rechargeable batteries and battery packs (batteries/packs). This dynamic EODV can be adjusted based on, for example, environment, operating conditions, temperature, residual capacity, cell chemistry, cell size, form factor, discharge rate, and/or the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery has undergone. The subject invention can provide for enhanced run time from each discharge cycle of the battery/pack. In addition, the subject invention can provide for more accurate save-to-disk alarms, while ensuring adequate energy for the actual save to disk operation. Furthermore, the subject invention can also extend the useful life of the battery/pack.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un article élaboré, comprenant une xénogreffe osseuse essentiellement non immunogène, destinée à être implantée dans le corps humain. Cette invention se rapporte également à un procédé servant à préparer une xénogreffe, en retirant au moins une partie d'un os d'un animal non humain, pour obtenir une xénogreffe (X), en lavant la xénogreffe dans une solution saline et dans de l'alcool; en soumettant cette xénogreffe à un traitement de rupture des cellules; et en traitant la xénogreffe avec une glycosidase pour éliminer les fractions hydrates de carbone de surface. Cette invention se rapporte en outre à un article élaboré produit par ce procédé. Cette invention propose également une xénogreffe osseuse destinée à être implantée dans le corps humain et comprenant une partie (10) d'un os provenant d'un animal non humain, cette partie ne contenant pour ainsi dire plus de fractions hydrates de carbone de surface susceptibles d'une digestion par la glycosidase. Chaque xénogreffe de cette invention possède pour ainsi dire les mêmes propriétés mécaniques qu'un os natif correspondant.

Patent EP-1072015-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CHUI CHARLES K
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: In a multiresolution image processing system images are stored in files that contain thumbnail data as well as a full image data structure (see the figure). The image data is preferably wavelet or wavelet-like transform coefficients, generated by applying a wavelet or wavelet-like transform to an image multiple times. Data representing mid-level resolution images are generated on the fly by extracting from the full image data structure only the data needed for the user or application selected resolution level. If the user has selected a subset of the image for viewing at a higher resolution level, a corresponding mid-level resolution image is constructed by extracting from the full image data structure the data needed for the user specified image portion at the user or application selected resolution level. The full image data structure is preferably encoded and stored in a manner allowing the image data for mid-level resolution images to be efficiently extracted without having to compute or recompute any image coefficients. By storing only thumbnail data (Thumbnail image, lowest resolution) and the full image data (Full size image, highest resolution) in an image file, and producing image data structures for other resolution levels on the fly, the storage requirements for image files are reduced. Since the image data structures for other resolution levels can be generated with minimal computational resources in a small fraction of a second, in most implementations the user will not be adversely affected by the non-inclusion of the other resolution levels in the image file.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un organe de préhension mains libres qui maintient généralement fixement des récipients cylindriques, en particulier un ustensile de laboratoire, et empêche que le récipient tourne pendant qu'on l'ouvre ou qu'on le ferme. L'organe de préhension présente des nervures internes déformables, qui fixent le récipient par une inclinaison légère lorsque ledit récipient tourne, ce qui permet de bloquer le récipient en place. Cette action empêche la rotation du récipient dans un sens ou dans un autre, ce qui fait qu'on utilise un seul dispositif de préhension pour ouvrir et fermer ledit récipient. Le dispositif peut être monté sur n'importe quelle surface plate, et agit comme une troisième main, de manière à permettre à l'utilisateur de disposer de ses deux mains ou d'une seule main pour saisir solidement la fermeture retirée du récipient ou fixée à celui-ci. L'organe de préhension facilite l'assemblage ou le désassemblage des dispositifs d'ustensiles de laboratoire nécessitant l'application d'un couple.
