Title: System and method for improving image quality in processed images
Inventor: BAGGS SCOTT C
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2002-04-23
Granted: 2005-12-14
Abstract: A system and method for reducing image artifacts from a processed image are disclosed. An image enhancing system can be implemented with a memory device, an image region segmenter, an artifact detector, and a filter. The region segmenter may be configured to sub-divide an image frame. Each region may be processed by the artifact detector to identify when an image artifact is present in the region. The identified regions may be forwarded to the filter to smooth the harshness of the picture element discontinuities. The method for reducing image artifacts in a compressed and decompressed image can be broadly summarized by the following steps: receiving picture element data associated with at least one image frame; segmenting the at least one image frame into a plurality of regions in accordance with a first viewer selected imaging parameter; analyzing the plurality of segmented regions to identify regions that contain an image artifact in response to a second viewer selected imaging parameter; processing the identified regions with a filter such that at least one picture element data parameter is adjusted in response to both a third and a fourth viewer selected imaging parameters; and inserting adjusted picture element data values into the at least one image frame.

Title: Orthopaedic surgery planning
Inventor: KITSON DAVID
IPC: G16H70/20
Filed: 2002-09-26
Granted: 2004-08-18
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of planning orthopaedic surgery comprises providing a library of templates representing orthopaedic prostheses, displaying and scaling one or more patient images such as X-ray images, allowing a user to reconfigure geometrical constructs displayed over the images to match the construct to anatomical features shown in the image; and selecting one or more templates from the library in accordance with parameters of the reconfigured constructs. The templates correspond to the orthopaedic prosthesis or prostheses which are most suitable for the patient. Hip replacement surgery can be planned using a single patient image. Knee surgery can be planned using two patient images showing different views of the anatomical features, in which case geometrical constructs for use with each view are provided. The library of templates is accessible via the Internet so as to be accessible by users in any location and readily updateable. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and device for transmitting data packets and corresponding computer program product and storage means
Inventor: SEVIN JULIEN
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2009-12-22
Granted: 2012-05-30
Abstract: In an automatic repeat request (ARQ) retransmission scheme packets may arrive out of order, triggering an ACKnowledgement or NACK (negative acknowledgement) that results in a retransmission packet being sent (Fig. 14a). The invention XORs the unacknowledged packet P1 with unsent packet P5 from the transmission queue, to form an anticipation packet AP. Which is then transmitted (Fig. 14b). If P1 arrives out of sequence it is XORed with AP to recover P5 (Fig. 14c), this is acknowledged and the original P5 is not transmitted (Fig. 14d). Thereby avoiding duplicated redundant transmission. If P1 is not received it is recovered by XORing AP and P5 (not shown). The invention is useful where TCP is tunnelled through UDP channels (eg. Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol (L2TP)). The system may also use retransmission packets formed using multiple unacknowledged packets.

Title: Multipoint side hung door lock
Inventor: GUYMER BARRY ROBERT
IPC: E05C9/04
Filed: 1982-04-26
Granted: 1985-08-14
Abstract: A multipoint door lock has a latch-bolt, head- and sill-bolts and a dead bolt. A handle on the inside of the door operates a follower 19 for retracting the latch-bolt 18 if turned in one direction, whilst rotation in the opposite direction causes the head- and sill-bolts to be shot. Dead-bolt 21 is shot by means of cylinder lock L having a radial projection 57 which first lifts a plate bearing pin 31 then engages surface 65 in a cut-out in the bolt to drive it outwards and then releases the plate. This also causes pin 31 to travel up limb 64, along straight 63 and down limb 66 of an inverted U-shaped slot in the lock casing, so providing a detent to hold the bolt in its end positions. The dead-bolt operation may occur before or after operating the head- and sill-bolts. A night-latch 20 is provided to prevent withdrawal of the dead-bolt by a key, but is operable only when the head- and sill-bolts are in their fastening positions. <IMAGE>

Title: Nutritious medium for fodder yeast mfd. from manure, etc. - by hydrolysing conc. suspension and adding back decanted liq. fraction
Inventor: ZAITSEV PETROVICH KONSTANTIN
IPC: C12N/
Filed: 1977-02-10
Granted: 1989-02-15
Abstract: The process for converting liq. manure without stable litter into a nutritious medium for the growth of microorganisms esp. yeasts as a source of proteins and vitamins. The manure is sepd., e.g. by centrifuging into a clarified liq. fraction and a conc. suspension. The liq. fraction is sterilised and the conc. suspension is heated and then hydrolysed in the presence of a mineral acid as catalyst, e.g. H2SO4, the hydrolysed prod. then being neutralised. Prod. is treated, e.g. by ultraviolet irradiation to eliminate noxious, volatile, impurities, and is then cooled. Before neutralisation, the sterilized liq. fraction is admixed with the hydrolysed prod. The neutralised prod. is pref. desludged, e.g. via a decanting centrifuge. Used in mfr. of fodder yeast from pig manure, poultry droppings, waste from the futs of slaughtered animals in large abattoirs and similar organic refuse. Adding back the clarified liq. fraction greatly increases the yield of nutritious prod. while reducing mfg. costs. For example, a pig farm raising 108,000 pigs per year can produce 2,000 tonnes p.a. of fodder yeast to make up about 5,200 tonnes of fodder which represents a 10% saving on the fodder bill. The neutralisation process requires 20-80% less alkali when the liq. fraction is added back.
