Patent EP-0906699-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BOCK ALOIS MARTIN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for analysing a digital video signal (20) preparatory to the digital compression encoding of the video signal. The signal (20) is applied to an analyser (22) to store samples of the video signal and to derive difference signals representing a number of parameters of the signal. One such parameter is the absolute difference between pixel samples of the signal which are adjacent in a vertical-temporal direction, i.e. the absolute difference between each sample and a sample one frame period later. Other parameters of the video signal are derived from absolute differences between the pixel samples taken over periods of one line, one field and one sample interval. A control signal representing the coding criticality of the input video signal is produced by accumulating the difference signals and combining them as a weighted sum. A low-pass filter in a pre-processor (21) has a bandwidth controlled by the control signal and filters the video signal (20) to remove or limit components which would result in coding artefacts in the signal after compression encoding. The control signal may also be fed to other components in the transmission chain, such as an encoder (23) and statistical multiplexer (24) to provide an early indication of picture criticality.

Filed: 1997-02-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for helping healthcare professionals create clinical protocols or assist in direct entry of medical finding into a chart by intelligently prompting a healthcare professional with medical findings associated with at least one medical finding which has already been entered in the protocol is disclosed. First of all, at least one medical finding for a patient is inputted into the system wherein each finding is assigned a point value for each diagnosis within a knowledge base. A total number of points for each diagnosis is then totalled for all of the findings which have been entered into the system. The possible diagnoses are then ranked in descending point total and a predetermined plurality of the highest ranked diagnoses are selected. Once the highest ranked diagnoses have been selected, the healthcare professional is prompted with additional findings associated with the selected diagnoses which have not yet been inputted into the clinical protocol.

Title: Extenseur intraluminal
Inventor: BERG ERIC P
IPC: B29C41/14
Filed: 1997-05-12
Abstract: Extenseurs intraluminaux et leurs procédés de fabrication. Ces extenseurs présentent une pluralité d'évidements dans leur corps, dont au moins une partie constitue de préférence une pluralité de passages entre les surfaces interne et externe de l'extenseur. Les extenseurs préférés sont fabriqués à partir de films sur des structures de support comportant des éléments distants les uns des autres, ces films présentant une épaisseur comprise entre environ 25 micromètres et environ 400 micromètres. L'extenseur peut également être traité au moyen d'une substance antithrombotique ou thrombolytique, et, dans certains cas, peut contenir des agents thérapeutiques destinés à être administrés. Les procédés de fabrication desdits extenseurs consistent à former les films au moyen d'un matériau particulaire solide qui peut être pratiquement entièrement enlevé après la formation du film, de sorte que les évidements et les passages correspondants décrits ci-dessus soient formés. Selon des procédés préférés, le matériau particulaire solide est soluble dans un solvant dans lequel le film ne se dissout pratiquement pas.

Filed: 1997-06-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de temporisation à synchronisation précise et un appareil correspondant dans lequel une boucle à verrouillage de phase (PLL), en combinaison avec une référence temporelle, est utilisée pour calibrer une temporisation précise. Les temporisations sont ensuite dupliquées dans toute la puce et commandées par le même courant que dans la boucle à verrouillage de phase. Ceci rend le processus de temporisation insensible à la tension et à la température, et les temporisations peuvent être programmées par sélection de la temporisation désirée au moyen d'un multiplexeur. Il est possible d'installer une temporisation haute précision qui convient avantageusement pour être utilisée dans des dispositifs tels que des isolateurs de bus d'ordinateurs.

Abstract: In a dental prophylaxis angle, an angle housing defines a main passageway and an ancillary passageway communicating therewith and extending at an substantial angle thereto. A drive shaft extends through the main passageway, while a cup holder is rotatably disposed in the ancillary passageway, the cup holder being drivingly coupled to the drive shaft. A flexible prophy cup is mounted to the cup holder, and a bearing is rotatably disposed in the main passageway about the drive shaft. The bearing has a snap-lock element projecting into a recess provided in the housing, thereby fixing a longitudinal position of the bearing with respect to the housing and holding the drive shaft in driving engagement with the cup holder. The prophy cup is coupled to the cup holder via a ball and socket joint and is provided in a region about the ball and socket joint with a flexible skirt defining an annular groove, the cup holder having an annular seat projecting into the groove. The seat preferably has an outer surface inclined at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cup holder. The skirt engages the outer surface of the seat and bends upon such engagement during use of the prophylaxis angle. In addition, the prophy cup is provided with outwardly extending projections in the groove, the seat being formed with inwardly extending teeth meshing with the projections for driving the cup. The prophy cup may also include on the interior of its flexible skirt a retaining extension that is held by an opposing retaining base of the cup holder.

Abstract: The invention provides an efficient way to store multiple tickets on smart cards. According to the present invention, a ticket (20) comprises a validation count field (26) for registering by way of a validation count the number of times the ticket may be used. Preferably, the validation count is lowered each time the ticket is validated, the validation being effected by writing validation data in the validation field (22) of the ticket. In this way a single ticket can thus be used as a multiple ticket, thus saving memory space. The validation count is also effective in limiting the number of tickets validated, thus limiting the extent of possible fraud. <IMAGE>
