Title: System and method for using pattern vectors for video and image coding and decoding
Inventor: HOWARD PAUL GLOR
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 2003-02-21
Granted: 2007-06-05
Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method of using pattern vectors for image coding and decoding. The method comprises converting a block of image data into a set of transform coefficients, quantizing the transform coefficients such that a number of the coefficients become zero, constructing a single entity or bit vector indicating which coefficients are non-zero, coding the single entity or bit vector as an integer using an adaptive, semi-adaptive or non-adaptive arithmetic coder, coding the values of the coefficients in any fixed order, using an adaptive, semi-adaptive or non- adaptive arithmetic coder, or some other coder, and coding all coefficients except the zero coefficients. The system and method of decoding data relate to the corresponding hardware and process steps performed by the decoder when decoding a bitstream coded as described herein.

Patent CA-2423540-C (CA)
Inventor: CACACE CHRIS
IPC: A47J37/10
Filed: 2003-03-26
Granted: 2009-01-27
Abstract: The invention relates generally to configurations for cooking pans. A cooking pan has a bottom wall that defines a cooking surface and a side wall which extends upward from the bottom wall. A handle is joined at one end to the side wall, and a lower portion of the side wall next to the cooking surface and opposite the handle is formed so that food pieces on the cooking surface are propelled upward near the side wall when the handle is pulled backward. The side wall also has an upper portion opposite the handle such that when the pan is pulled back while cooking, the contents are propelled upward and directed to land in a forward region of the cooking surface further from the handle. The pan allows the mixing and redistribution of food pieces about the pan with much less waste and follow--up cleaning.

Title: Machine for front joining and sticking of oblong wood workpieces by toothed front joints and referential procedure
Inventor: LEDINEK GREGOR
IPC: B65G17/00
Filed: 2003-04-03
Granted: 2007-09-04
Abstract: Machine for front joining and sticking of oblong wood workpieces by toothed front joints and referential procedure consists of the flow press and entrance conveying line, and solves the problem of simple and quality front joining and sticking of workpieces, which travel through them fast and fluently in a consecutive row, irrespective of possible yet allowed curvature and dimensional deviation. This is enabled by the construction of entrance conveyors and exit conveyors of the conveying line, equipped with mechanisms for adjustment of side chain units, and with elastic couplings, whereby inside the side chain units the elastic insertions are placed; and inside pressing conveyors ether elastic insertions are placed. Joints among individual entrance conveyors, among individual exit conveyors, and among conveyors are likewise elastic constructions by means of adjustable screws placed between fixed cantilevers, and between tension cantilevers. It is further enabled by the construction of entrance units and exit units in the flow press, or by the construction of pushing wheel pairs inside them, and which are simultaneously driven by the central driving coupling. For this purpose, each wheel pair is equipped with a pair of flexible cranks, the cylinder for pressure adjustment, the cylinder for position adjustment, the mechanism for interactive distance adjustment. Pushing wheel pairs also have the cylinder for the horizontal shift regulation and the shift-meter with which the force meter is connected, and which is placed at the end of the last pushing wheel pair.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'établir un canal de communication sécurisé entre un client et un serveur d'applications. Selon une variante, un service de billet produit un billet à identificateur et clé de session. Un dispositif de communication recueille le billet auprès de ce service et le transmet à un client sur un canal de communication sécurisé. Le client transmet l'identificateur du billet à un serveur d'applications sur un canal de communication d'applications. Le serveur d'applications recueille une copie de la clé de session du billet auprès du service de billet. Les communications échangées entre le client et le serveur d'applications sur le canal de communication d'applications sont ensuite chiffrées par le biais de la clé de session, ce qui permet de sécuriser le canal de communication d'applications.

Abstract: The present system combines image morphing technology, exercise programming, supplement sales, and motivational techniques into one product.  Users begin by entering their current measurements, measurement goals and current picture into the system, preferably via a Web site. The picture is segmented into body components, and each affected segment is morphed based upon the measurements, goals, and the segment's responsiveness to weight loss in order to create a modified image representative of the user in a post-regimen condition. This system helps health and fitness businesses obtain new members and retain existing members by showing the members how they will look after following a specific regimen of diet and/or exercise. The system also predicts health risks of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke associated with the user's pre-regimen and post-regimen conditions.

Title: Luminary product
Inventor: DELCOURT FRANCOIS P
IPC: F21S10/04
Filed: 2004-07-30
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: A decorated luminary product includes a candle holder containing a candle, wherein at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the candle holder has a hammered texture such that light passing through the candle holder varies substantially as a result of variation of refraction of the light. A decorative web of a heat-shrinkable polymer may be heat shrunk to conform to the outer surface of the candle holder. The web is decorated with an ink or pigmentation to cooperate with light and/or heat emitted by burning the candle, so as to provide a pleasing visual effect when the candle is burned, while the hammered texture of the candle holder causes variations in the refraction of light emitted from the candle, causing further visual effects. The refraction of light caused by the hammered texture of the candle holder also provides aesthetically pleasing effects when the candle is unlit, due to variations in the image on the web resulting from variation in the light observed passing through the candle holder.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une lame de scie à os qui comprend un corps de lame possédant une section de coupe, une section embase et une soie située entre la section de coupe et la section embase. On commence par former un corps de lame d'une dureté Rockwell sensiblement uniforme comprise entre environ R<SB>C</SB>49 et R<SB>C</SB>63 sur toute la longueur. On utilise ensuite un processus à arc cathodique pour déposer sur la section de coupe un revêtement de nitrure métallique dur, résistant à l'usure. Au cours du processus de revêtement, l'impact des ions sur la surface de la section de coupe crée une chaleur qui recuit avantageusement la section de coupe. On évite tout recuit significatif de la soie et de la section embase au cours du processus de revêtement en empilant des corps de lames avec des découpes de lames formées sans sections de coupe. La chaleur produite pendant le revêtement n'est pas suffisante pour élever la température de cette grande masse au-dessus de la température de recuit du matériau de la lame. On obtient de la sorte une lame qui possède une soie et une section embase de grande résistance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling for anchor bolts, comprising a sleeve (1) having an internal screw thread (5) and two anchor pipes (2) having an external screw thread (3), the ends (8) of said pipes being screwed into the sleeve (1). Said sleeve (1) is provided with an annular rib (4) in the longitudinal centre thereof, said rib having a cylindrical inner end surface (10). The ends (8) of the anchor pipes (2) engage in the annular rib (4) in a sealing manner, said ends being embodied with cylindrical thread-free circumferential surfaces (12) for this purpose. In order to improve the tightness of the coupling and to ensure that the transfer of impact energy from the first anchor pipe (2) to the second anchor pipe (2) does not engender much loss, the annular front surfaces (6) of the anchor pipes (2) are arranged against each other in a sealing manner in the region of the annular rib (4).  In this way, a leak-free coupling for anchor bolts is provided, said coupling preventing the discharge of rinsing medium and/or setting mass.
