Title: Measuring blockiness in decoded video images
Inventor: GHANBARI MOHAMMED
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the degree of blockiness in decoded video images is disclosed. A Fourier transform of the decoded video image or an image derived from a decoded video image is generated. Components of the Fourier transform characteristic of block edges in the decoded image are identified. The energy of at least one of the identified components is measured, and the measured energy of the or each identified component is compared with the total energy within the Fourier transform. The comparison is indicative of the degree of blockiness in the decoded image prior to generation of the Fourier transform, and can be used to predict an objective degree of blockiness with improved accuracy. By filtering in the frequency, rather than the spatial domain, the block edges within the decoded image are isolated from the remaining information within the decoded image with significantly more accuracy than previously.

Title: Multi-dimensional communications using database linking
Inventor: ROSS GORDON
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: Family ties, local groups and geographic proximity are important factors in patterns of communication and are sometimes neglected or under-represented in electronic addressing schemes. The present invention links electronic addresses with other information to support more effective communication via electronic infrastructures/networks, e.g. the Internet. In an example, a multidimensional database associates or groups electronic addresses with geographic location. This permits more effective delivery and retrieval of information of local relevance, for example weather, local entertainment and advertisements. An illustration is provided by way of a "multi-level cube" (figures 1-4).

Title: A push-push latching mechanism for a data card holder and reader
Inventor: BUSCHMANN ULRICH
IPC: G06K19/077
Filed: 1999-11-26
Abstract: A latching mechanism for releasably connecting a data (SIM and/or smart) card holder 100 to a reader 200 of a radio communication device comprises a pin head or peg 128 on the card holder 100 that is made to follow a locus of a pattern provided on a lateral deflecting surface (232, figure 4) mounted on a flap (226, figure 4) of the reader 200, with surface (232) inclined to the longitudinal direction of the holder 100 and reader 200. Movement of the holder 100 into the reader 200 in the longitudinal direction causes the peg 128 to abut the surface (232) which causes transverse movement of the flap 232 until the peg 128 is engaged in the latch. Resilient means, e.g. a spring (238, figure 6), biases the flap (226) against transverse movement and urges the holder 100 away from the reader 200. A further push of the holder 100 releases the peg 128 from the latch and the holder 100 is forced out of the reader by the spring (238).
Patent GB-191420497-A (GB)
IPC: F02C5/12
Abstract: 20,497. Robertson, C. Oct. 3. Working-fluid supply.-Relates to internalcombustion turbines in which a number of working chambers or passages in the stator co-operate with a different number of passages or chambers in the rotor. In the example shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a rotor c is provided with five combustion chambers d which co-operate with six inclined passages b in the stator a, giving thirty explosions per revolution. Gaseous fuel is forced under pressure from a chamber l through one or more pipes k to a chamber j, which supplies the ports e of the chambers d through a valve-plate f having the same number of ports e<1> as the stator has passages. The valve-plate f is pressed against the rotor by a spring g<3>, an adjustable plate h being interposed to regulate the effective area of the ports e. Each explosion chamber d is fitted with a relief device comprising a spring-pressed plunger i adapted to open a port i<4> in the event of pre-ignition taking place. In another modification, the rotor has four explosion chambers which co-operate with eight stator passages, four simultaneous explosions taking place eight times per revolution. By the provision of suitable communicating-passages p in the valve-plate ,f, the heat of the explosion in one chamber d may be caused to ignite the charge in the next chamber, and so on. In another modification, the explosion chambers are formed in the stator, and the valve-plate rotates with the rotor, which carries fan blades on its periphery to induce a current of air for cooling. The parts referred to as rotor and stator may be arranged to rotate at different speeds or in opposite directions.

IPC: C03B23/03
Filed: 1995-04-12
Abstract: During the bending of glass sheets by certain methods, e.g. press bending, a heat-softened glass sheet (11) is transferred from conveyor means (58,59) to a ring mould (62). Such transfer is preferably achieved without adversely affecting the optical quality of the sheet. A method and apparatus for bending are described wherein transferring the sheet (11) is effected by lowering part of the conveyor means (58,59) from an upper position to a lower position below the upper surface of the ring mould, and wherein bending the sheet comprises the step of raising both the ring mould (62) and the conveyor means (58,59). <IMAGE>

Title: Extracts of shark cartilage, process of production and uses thereof
Inventor: BRAZEAU PAUL
IPC: A61P27/02
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to cartilage extracts and to a method of producing the same. Shark cartilage extracts having anti-angiogenic, direct anti-tumor proliferating, anti-inflammatory and anti-collagenolytic activities have been obtained by an improved process. The process comprises the steps of obtaining a homogenate of cartilage in an aqueous solution, this homogenate being centrifuged and further fractionated to obtain a total extract having molecules of a molecular weight comprised between 0 to 500 KDa. The composition of the liquid extract has then been investigated by different ways. Further fractionation of this extract led to the preliminary characterization of some of its active components. Due to the multiplicity of biological activities of the total liquid extract, it can be used for treating numerous diseases or conditions such as those having components selected from the group consisting of tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation and collagenolysis. This extract has no offensive effect on normal body functions. Therefore, this shark cartilage extract has a very promising therapeutic value. The process for the obtention of cartilage extracts is simple and efficient. The unexpectedly valuable products obtained by this process are therefore an indication of a new and non-obvious process.
