Patent CA-2572989-C (CA)
Inventor: HERRE JUERGEN
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2005-05-12
Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: An apparatus for generating a multi-channel output signal performs a center channel cancellation to obtain improved base channels for reconstructing left-side output channels or right-side output channels. In particular, the apparatus includes a cancellation channel calculator (20) for calculating a cancellation channel using information related to the original center channel available at the decoder. The device furthermore includes a combiner (22) for combining a transmission channel with the cancellation channel. Finally, the apparatus includes a reconstructor (26) for generating the multi-channel output signal. Due to the center channel cancellation, the channel reconstructor (26) not only uses a different base channel for reconstructing the center channel but also uses base channels different from the transmission channels for reconstructing left and right output channels which have a reduced or even completely cancelled influence of the original center channel.

Granted: 2013-07-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'imagerie médicale qui comprend au moins une source lumineuse d'éclairage d'objet, au moins deux capteurs d'image produisant des données d'image qui correspondent à l'objet sous la forme d'une trame d'image, et un processeur vidéo recevant de chaque capteur les données d'image qui correspondent aux trames d'image et traitant les données d'image pour fournir une image composite. Le processeur peut être conçu pour normaliser, stabiliser, orienter et/ou agrafer les données d'image reçues de chaque capteur, afin de produire l'image composite. De préférence, le processeur agrafe les données d'image reçues de chaque capteur par traitement d'une partie des données d'image reçues d'un capteur qui chevauche une partie des données d'image reçues d'un autre capteur. Une variante consiste à prendre entre autres comme dispositif chirurgical une agrafeuse circulaire qui comprend une première partie, par exemple une unité de chargement numérique, avec un capteur d'image comme seconde partie, par exemple une enclume, mobile par rapport à la première partie. La seconde partie comprend un système, par exemple avec un trou, pour la transmission de l'image au capteur. Le système permet la réception de l'image par le capteur sans retrait du dispositif chirurgical depuis le site chirurgical.

Title: Production of carbon monoxide-free hydrogen and helium from a high-purity source
Inventor: GOLDEN TIMOTHY CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 2007-02-21

Title: Numeric control engraving machine
Inventor: DI BENEDETTO LEONARDO LUIS
IPC: B44B1/00
Filed: 2006-03-15
Granted: 2012-10-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a digitally-controlled engraving machine which can be used to engrave different objects such as gems, plates of metal or another material, such as to produce the effect obtained by means of artisan engraving with a chisel, in which the tradesperson performs a downward/upward movement with the chisel with each insertion made in the surface of the body to be engraved, such that the engraved line has a curvilinear trajectory. In addition to the three axes (X, Y, Z) or degrees of freedom for the movement of the tool holder, the inventive engraving machine also creates two new complementary axes which are denoted as PT (depth of line) and SV (vector tracing), thereby producing the same type of engraving as that obtained by a tradesperson with a chisel. The PT axis controls the penetration movement of the tool for the curvilinear line over the course of the vector that defines the direction and sense of the line. The SV (vector tracing) axis orients the cutting edge of the tool with the correct engraving cutting angle.

Abstract: A technique for efficiently processing resource allocation requests in an on-demand environment. When a user logs into a resource allocation request manager, resource requirements entered are immediately sent to a remote resource manager to permit real-time feedback to the user who is entering the resource requirements. The user can thus reconfigure or otherwise modify the resource requests based on this feedback to optimize the overall resource allocation request. This also allows an organization providing services such as computer hosting services to re-allocate resources in advance if a new resource request would exceed a service level agreement outlined in advance with a customer, thereby improving resource planning in a data center environment. In addition, the dynamic feedback on the new resource request that exceeds a service level agreement can be used to develop a new service level agreement or temporary service offer that addresses the unique resource condition.

Abstract: A multi-mode mobile station includes a first interface for wireless communication with a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a second interface for wireless communication with a wireless wide area network (WWAN). The multi-mode mobile station is associated with a particular conference bridge, through which all calls to and from the multi-mode mobile station are routed. For example, when a call involving the multi-mode mobile is established via the WLAN, the call includes a WLAN call leg that extends from the conference bridge to the multi-mode mobile station via the WLAN. To effect a handoff during the call, a WWAN call leg is established between the multi-mode mobile station and the conference bridge via the WWAN. The conference bridge bridges the WLAN and WWAN call legs. To complete the handoff, the multi-mode mobile station drops the WLAN call leg and continues the call using the WWAN call leg.
