Patent EP-1517273-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KUMMER JR ROBERT H
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2004-09-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for processing
residual mail to automatically correct the postage therefor. A first class of
service that was used to originally process the residual mail and a second
class of service to which a postage value originally applied to the residual mail
is to be corrected are received. A postage correction table is then generated
from a first rate table corresponding to the first class of service and a second
rate table corresponding to the second class of service. A postage correction
amount for each piece of residual mail is determined based upon the postage
correction table. The postage correction table may include a plurality of
weight breaks and a plurality of corresponding postage correction rates and/or
dimension based charges, and the postage correction amount may be based
on a measured weight and/or dimension of each pieces of residual mail.

Abstract: The apparatus greatly reduces the registered data
amount and the verification computation amount required
for user verification, in comparison with the verification
using image information itself, and also decreases the
false verification rate. The apparatus divides a
biometric information image into cells, and extracts
minutia information as well as cell basic information from
the individual cells (S13 and S14). After comparison of
direction information of the individual cells of the
registered data with direction information of the
individual cells of the to-be-verified data, thereby
aligning the registered fingerprint image and the
to-be-verified fingerprint image (S15 through S17), the
apparatus compares the minutia information of
corresponding cells between the registered data and the
to-be-verified data to make a match/non-match decision
(S20 through S22, and S24). Such an apparatus is
applicable to systems that employ pattern matching type
image verification to perform user verification utilizing
biometric information such as fingerprints, palm prints,
blood vessel patterns, iris patterns, and facial images.

Abstract: A data modulation method to suppress a DC component
using parity information of a synchronization codeword,
and an apparatus for executing the method. Input data is
multiplexed according to multiplexing information, the
synchronization codeword including the multiplexing
information for a multiplexed data stream is inserted,
modulation is performed and plural modulated data streams
are output, and a respective one of the modulated data
streams having a DC component, which is smallest is
selected from among the modulated streams. The
synchronization codeword has a bit to control the parity
of the codeword, and the input data is multiplexed
according to whether a parity of the synchronization
codeword is even or is odd. Thus, the DC component
included in the modulated codeword stream may be more
effectively suppressed without a decrease in a code rate.

Title: Device and method for calculating a discrete value of a component in a loudspeaker signal
Inventor: ROEDER THOMAS
IPC: H04S3/00
Filed: 2004-05-11
Abstract: For reducing Doppler artifacts in the wave-field synthesis due to delay changes from one time to a second time, first, the delay for the first time and the delay for the second time are determined. Then, a value of an audio signal delayed by the first delay for the current time and the value for the audio signal delayed by the second delay for the current time are determined. Then, the first value is weighted by a first weighting factor and a second value is averaged with a second weighting factor, whereupon the two weighted values are added up to obtain a discrete value for the current time of the component in a loudspeaker signal for a loudspeaker based on a virtual source. Thus, by knowing a delay present at a later time, panning is obtained from a delay to a subsequent delay, which reduces undesired Doppler artifacts.

Abstract: A cervical bone plate includes a graft window that allows access to and/or visualization of a bone graft area of the cervical spine after attachment of the present cervical plate to the vertebrae. The window is preferably, but not necessarily, sized for maximum exposure of the graft area and/or the vertebral body without compromising plate strength, particularly with respect to federal standards for such devices. The window is centrally positioned on the plate and is sized to provide alignment of the plate onto the vertebrae at the base of the vertebra fastener or screw holes of the plate. In a dynamic form of this cervical bone plate, the graft window expands and contracts with respective expansion and contraction of the dynamic plate after attachment to the vertebrae (i.e. "dynamizes"). In another form, a three­component dynamic bone plate is configured such that a middle component accepts an identical end component at both ends of the middle component. The end component is a 180° interchangeable part. The middle component and the end component have cooperating configurations and complementarily configured grooves that allow sliding movement between the middle component and the end components. A two-pillar construction provides a central window.

Abstract: A system and method for unidirectionally or bi-directionally communicating
information and data to and from an electronic module housed within a cordless
power tool (14), over power terminals (22a,22b) of the cordless power tool, while a battery pack of
the tool is removed from the tool. A data transfer device is connected to at least one
power terminal of the tool in place of the battery pack. The power terminal is also
used for electrically connecting the battery pack to the tool during normal operation of
the tool. A voltage supplied by the data transfer device to the tool is sequentially
varied between a first level and a second level, in accordance with a predetermined
communications protocol, to transmit data from electronic module of the tool to the
data transfer device. A voltage signal applied to the electronic module of the tool is
sequentially shifted between a first voltage and a second voltage to transmit data
from the data transfer device to the tool. Thus, data can be transmitted between the
