Abstract: Une correction automatique des couleurs est appliquée à une scène ou un extrait, y compris une séquence d'images dans un film, en sélectionnant une image représentative de la scène, en analysant cette image et en effectuant ensuite une opération de mise au point des paramètres de couleur sur la séquence d'images composant la scène. Cette opération peut être répétée automatiquement pour toutes les scènes ou pour certaines scènes d'un film. Les paramètres peuvent être réglés afin d'équilibrer automatiquement les couleurs de l'image tout en maintenant un niveau de contraste généralement constant. L'analyse de l'image représentative peut comprendre l'identification d'un décalage des sommets à partir d'un point blanc dans un histogramme à deux dimensions des couleurs de l'image représentative. Les paramètres de l'opération de correction des couleurs sont réglés en fonction de ce décalage. Des histogrammes et des décalages distincts peuvent être utilisés pour les ombres, les tons intermédiaires et les plages lumineuses dans l'image représentative. L'analyse de cette dernière peut également comprendre la mise au point d'un histogramme à une dimension de la luminance dans l'image. Les valeurs de luminance de la zone la plus sombre et de la zone la plus claire de l'image sont utilisées pour équilibrer l'image. Plus particulièrement, les histogrammes pour les canaux de couleur de l'image, comme le rouge, le vert et le bleu, sont réglés afin de correspondre aux valeurs de la zone la plus sombre et de la zone la plus claire identifiées dans l'histogramme de luminance.

Title: Power lift gate actuator
Inventor: OBERHEIDE CLARKE G
IPC: E05F15/12
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: A liftgate actuating assembly is disclosed for moving a liftgate of a motor vehicle between open and closed positions. The liftgate actuating assembly includes a motor that is fixedly secured to the motor vehicle. The motor has an output shaft capable of bi-directional rotation. A drive gear rotates about a drive shaft and is operatively connected to the output shaft to be rotated thereby. A cable drum is rotatably mounted to the drive shaft. The cable drum is coupled to the drive gear and is rotated thereby. The cable drum includes a cable wrapped thereabout between a drum end fixedly secured to the cable drum and a liftgate end fixedly secured to the liftgate. The cable is used to retract the liftgate from the open position to the closed position. A linkage is operatively connected to the drive gear. The linkage is from a retracted position to an extended position such that the linkage forces the liftgate from the closed position to the open position when the linkage moves from the retracted position to the extended position. The linkage includes a slot that provides lost motion within the linkage. This allows the liftgate to be move manually to the closed position without the motor being activated.

Abstract: A method of preserving haptenized tumor cells is described. The method employs a freezing medium containing an effective amount of sucrose and human serum albumin in an isotonic buffered saline solution. Cryogenically preserving haptenized cells in such a medium has been found to maintain the integrity of the tumor cells during storage. The haptenized tumor cells also retain cell-associated antigens and haptens, and are as immunogenic, i.e., capable of inducing immunotherapeutic response, as fresh vaccine in a mouse model of metastatic disease. In a specific embodiment, haptenized cells are exposed to a solution of 8 % sucrose, 10% human serum albumin in Hank's buffered solution, and then frozen to -80~C overnight and then stored in a liquid nitrogen freezer. Methods of storing haptenized tumor cells and compositions are also provided.

Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for natural voice recognition based on a generative transformation/phrase structure grammar known as GT /PS grammar.  According to the invention, a spoken phrase is analyzed for triphones contained therein, words contained in the spoken phrase are formed from the recognized triphones with the aid dictionaries and the spoken phrase is syntactically reconstructed from the recognized words using a grammar. The GT  /PS grammar is a novel method enabling target sentences to be placed in said grammar. It uses traditional Grammar Specification Language (GSL), structures said sentences however in an innovative manner. It is oriented towards the rules of phrase structure grammar and Noam Chomsky's concept of generative transformation grammar.
