Title: System and method for the detection of abnormal radiation exposures using pulsed optically stimulated luminescence
Inventor: MCKEEVER STEPHEN W S
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: This invention relates generally to luminescence techniques for imaging radiation fields and, more specifically, to the use of experimental and mathematical methods to distinguish between dynamic irradiation and static - or other abnormal radiation - exposure conditions for applications in personnel and environmental radiation dosimetry, or related fields. In more particular, the instant invention provides a rapid and reliable method of detecting abnormal dosimeter exposure conditions over a wide dynamic range of radiation doses, while avoiding significant background interference and stimulation light leakage. Additionally, the preferred embodiment of the instant invention uses a pulsed and synchronized luminescence detection scheme.  Further, this invention teaches a complete method and system for abnormal exposure detection - including the use of a luminescent thin powder layer, the use of a periodic radiation absorbing filter, the pulsed stimulation and synchronized luminescence detection scheme, and the method of analyzing and interpreting the recorded images.  Finally, the system provides a means of mathematically characterizing an image as containing either a normal or abnormal exposure.

Title: Systeme de reperage de marchandise
Inventor: DE LUCA DENYS
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: Le système de repérage comprend une station d'interrogation mobile habituellement située dans une auto-patrouille, une multitude de marqueurs attachés à la marchandise, et une centrale de communication. La station d'interrogation mobile comprend deux (2) récepteurs et au moins un (1) émetteur.  Le premier récepteur permet de recevoir, d'une base de données située à la centrale de communication, les codes d'identification des marqueurs attachés  à la marchandise volée. L'émetteur permet de diffuser, dans un rayon efficace d'environ 100 mètres, un message d'interrogation auquel devront répondre les marqueurs qui reçoivent ledit message. Le second récepteur de la station d'interrogation mobile reçoit les messages de réponse des marqueurs. De plus , la station d'interrogation mobile comprend un afficheur qui donne à l'utilisateur les résultats de la recherche des marqueurs situés à proximité. Les marqueurs so nt attachés à la marchandise et ont chacun un code d'identification unique. Les marqueurs comprennent un récepteur, un circuit de décodage, un circuit de délai aléatoire, un circuit d'encodage et un émetteur. Le récepteur permet de recevoir les messages d'interrogation provenant de la station d'interrogation mobile et le circuit de décodage vérifie que le message provient d'une source à laquellei l doit répondre. L'encodeur prépare le message de réponse comprenant le code d'identification unique du marqueur et l'émetteur diffuse le message. Le circuit de délai aléatoire permet d'éviter l'interférence entre les réponses provenant des différents marqueurs situés dans le périmètre de recherche de la station d'interrogation mobile. La centrale de communication comprend la base de données qui comprend entre autres, tous les codes d'identification des marqueurs attachés à la marchandise ayant été rapportée volée ainsi que le répertoire des endroits où les marqueurs ont été repérés. La centrale reçoit donc de l'information des abonnés du système ; c'est-à-dire, les gens possédant de la marchandise à laquelle un marqueur a été attaché. La centrale reçoit aussi de l'informatio n de la station d'interrogation mobile lui indiquant les marqueurs trouvés ainsi que  leur localisation. La centrale envoie, quant à elle, à la station d'interrogation  mobile, l'information sur les marqueurs ayant été rapportés volés afin que la statio n d'interrogation mobile puisse alerter l'utilisateur lorsqu'elle détecte les marqueurs.

Inventor: BISKEY BRUCE L
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: Video adapter hardware and software permitting the display of computer information and television signals across several display devices. The video adapter hardware includes two graphics user interface accelerators, two television tuners, one or more video decoders, and one or more video multiplexers. Each accelerator is coupled to a memory unit for access to graphics data. One television tuner accepts input from an outside television source, such as a cable television company or a video cassette recorder. In addition, the video multiplexers accept input from other external video sources. Video data is output from the graphics accelerators to multiple screens. Video adapter software displays a tool window allowing the user to select first input for the first display device and a second input for the second display device. The software displays the results of the two inputs on the respective display devices. If the inputs are identical, however, the information may be displayed across both display devices.

Patent CA-2307439-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOUCET MICHEL
IPC: G06T7/70
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for evaluating a scale factor and a rotation angle in image processing and more particularly digital image processing. The method includes the steps of first providing an input image, an then reducing the input image to provide a smaller image. The smaller image is scaled according to a plurality of factors to produce a plurality of scaled images and is also rotated according to a plurality of factors to produce a plurality of rotated images. The scaled images in the rotated images are then placed into a mosaic which is arranged by scale and rotation. A referenced template is provided and the referenced template is correlated with the mosaic of scaled and rotated images to provide a scale factor and a rotation angle based on the position in the mosaic of the high score relation value between the reference template and the scaled and rotated images. The method is more efficient in that it reduces the amount of computations required to obtain useful results. The method also does not require object centering prior to performing the analysis and does not require complex mathematical expansion of the object under analysis.

Title: Battery accumulating apparatus
Inventor: GOTO MASAYOSHI
IPC: H02J7/02
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: In a battery accumulating apparatus, a charge current I1 from the charging solar battery 9 is supplied to the storage battery 5 through the switch 10, and charges the storage battery 5. The charge controller 4b detects each cell voltage of the storage battery 5, and when any of cell voltage reaches a prescribed value, the charge controller 4b turns the switch 10 in the ON status to the OFF status. The charge controller 4b has a function which generates the charge currents I2 and I3 (I2 > I3) whose levels are lower than the charge current I1, according to the output from the charging solar buttery 9, and supplies the charge current I2 to the storage battery 5 at the same time as the turning OFF of the switch 10, and charges the battery. The storage battery 5 is charged by the charge current I2, and when any of cell voltage reaches a prescribed value, the charge controller 4b switches the charge current I2 to the charge current I3, and supplies the charge current I3 to the storage battery 5.
