Patent EP-1018708-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WENZEL LOTHAR
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2000-01-05
Abstract: A system and method for improved image characterization, object placement, mesh design and pattern
matching utilizing Low Discrepancy sequences. The Low Discrepancy sequence is designed to produce sample
points which maximally avoid one another, i.e., the distance between any two sample points is maximized. The
invention may be applied specifically to methods of image characterization, pattern matching, acquiring image
statistics, object location, image reconstruction, motion estimation, object placement, sensor placement, and
mesh design, among others. Image characterization is performed by receiving an image and then sampling the
image using a Low Discrepancy sequence, also referred to as a quasi-random sequence, to determine a plurality of
sample pixels in the image which characterize the image. Sensor placement is performed by generating a Low
Discrepancy sequence for the desired placement application, and then selecting locations for the optimal placement
of sensors using the generated Low Discrepancy sequence. The pattern matching method may operate to locate
zero or more instances of a template image in a target image. The pattern matching method may perform a local
stability analysis around at least a subset of the sample pixels to determine differing stability neighborhood sizes
and/or step sizes. The pattern matching method may also perform rotation invariant pattern matching by
sampling the template image along one or more rotationally invariant paths, preferably circular perimeters, to
produce one or more sets of sample pixels.

Abstract: Growth hormone polymeric controlled release systems are described wherein the
growth hormone retains good biological activity and is released over an extended
period of time following administration by injection. In the preferred embodiment,
human growth hormone polymeric microspheres are made using very cold
temperatures to freeze the polymer-growth hormone mixtures into polymeric
microspheres with very high retention of biological activity and material.
Sustained release of biologically active growth hormone is achieved when the
microspheres are tested  in vivo , extending over a period of greater than one day
to several months. Altered release can be achieved by inclusion of degradation
modifiers, pore forming agents, and stabilizers of the growth hormone.

Abstract: A vehicle deceleration force control device of the invention reduces deceleration
force (assist braking force) during implementation of engine brake assist control
over a predetermined time (t 2 -t 0 ) when a vehicle state is changed to an acceleration
state by operation of an accelerator. A change amount of the deceleration force
over time during reduction is limited to a predetermined value or less. This
predetermined value is set to a larger value the steeper the road gradient during
hill descent and is set to a smaller value the steeper the road gradient during hill
climbing. The vehicle deceleration force control device enables smooth
acceleration when shifting from deceleration to acceleration.

Abstract: A method according to the present invention starts
reproduction of contents (15) while contents validity is
verified based on signature information (24). If it is found
that the contents are invalid as a result of contents validity
verification based on the signature information, the method
stops the reproduction of contents and inhibits subsequent
reproduction. The method may verify the validity only when
a flag (20) indicates that the signature information for
contents validity to be reproduced is present. Also, the
method may compare an invalid signature information entry ( 30 )
recorded in signature information memory (28) with the
signature information (24) read from the recording medium (12).
If the signature information memory contains an entry that
matches the signature information, the method does not request
a signature verification unit (22) to verify the contents of
the signature but determines the contents (15) as invalid.
