Filed: 2002-11-01
Abstract: A system and method for collecting, filtering, analyzing, distributing and
effectively utilizing highly relevant events (such as key business events) in real time,
from huge quantities of data. The present invention analyzes both historic and real-time
data stemming from operational activity, by interfacing with internal data repositories
(such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management
(CRM)), external data sources (such as suppliers and clients), and real time operational
systems in order to create an Active Intelligence Platform. This Active Intelligence
Platform is positioned as a layer between the organization's data sources and its
applications, monitoring inputs and relaying only the important data items to the relevant
individuals and/or systems. This allows individuals and systems to respond immediately
and effectively to key events.

Patent EP-1246350-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAWADA KIYOSHI
IPC: B23Q1/58
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: There is provided a linear driving device of compact size, capable of
fundamentally canceling a reactive force produced in acceleration and
deceleration of a slider (3) within the linear driving device. A slider (3) and a
stator (2) constitute a linear motor. The stator (2) is supported to move
linearly on a base (1) by an air bearing, and the slider (3) is supported to move
linearly on the stator (2). When the slider (3) is driven by the stator (2) to
move in one axial direction, a reactive force is exerted on the stator (2) in an
opposite axial direction to move the stator (2) in the opposite direction so that
substantially no force is transmitted from the stator (2) to the base (1). A ratio
of weights of the stator (2) and the slider (3) is lopsided so that motion strokes
of these members are different. Since the reactive force produced in
acceleration and deceleration is canceled within the linear driving device and
is not transmitted to the base (1), no undesirable effects are caused outside of
the linear driving device. This device can be applied to a machining tool or a
measuring device to realize a high-speed and high-precision machining or
measurement.
Patent EP-1271926-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OHTA KEN-ICHI
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: This invention is designed to effectively generate
encoded data within a set size by inputting image data once.
For this purpose, the image input through an input unit (101)
is compressed by an encoding unit (102) and stored in first
and second memories (104, 106). A first counter (107) counts
the data in its code amount. When the amount of encoded data
generated reaches a predetermined size, an encoding sequence
control unit (108) sets quantization steps in the encoding
unit (102) and an re-encoding unit (109) to increase
compression ratios. In addition, the encoding sequence
control unit (108) clears the first memory (104), causes the
re-encoding unit (109) to re-encode the encoded data stored
in the second memory, and stores the resultant data in the
first memory (104). Since the encoding unit (102) continues
encoding data with the set quantization step, the encoded
data are stored in the first memory (104) from the start of
the image. Subsequently, every time the data amount stored
in the first memory reaches a predetermined amount, the
quantization step is increased, and the processing is
repeated.

Abstract: A document management system. The system uses well known MACs,
Message Authentication Codes, or equivalents. In general, an MAC is used
to authenticate a copy of a document. First, the document (18) is fed (21) to
a specific algorithm (24), which produces the MAC (27). Then a copy-to-be-verified
is fed to the same algorithm (24). If the same MAC (27) is obtained,
the copy is taken as authenticated. Under the invention, when maintenance
is undertaken on an aircraft, a technician uses a computer to generate a
digital document (18) describing the maintenance. An MAC (27) is generated
for the digital document (18). The technician encrypts the MAC (27), using
the technician's encryption key (33). The encrypted MAC (34) is attached to
the digital document (18), and the pair is stored. Now, any copies of the
document (18) can be validated by (1) de-crypting the MAC (27) and (2)
validating the document using the MAC (27). In one embodiment, no paper
documents are generated, nor signed, at the time of the maintenance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'aération permettant de réduire l'humidité dans un espace fermé contenant une source de chaleur, et d'empêcher l'eau, d'autres liquides ou d'autres éléments contaminants d'entrer dans cet espace fermé. Le dispositif de réduction d'humidité comprend un agent séchant ou desséchant, adjacent à ladite source de chaleur (telle qu'une ampoule de phare automobile ou un dispositif de cyclage thermique), une couche perméable à la vapeur d'eau et imperméable à l'air, un orifice d'aération permettant un écoulement d'air lors du cyclage thermique de la source de chaleur, et un tube ou un canal diffuseur intérieur permettant de limiter l'entrée de vapeur humide provenant de l'atmosphère extérieure au niveau de l'agent séchant ou desséchant. La couche perméable à la vapeur d'eau et imperméable à l'air permet de diffuser de manière continue une vapeur d'eau, permettant ainsi de réduire l'humidité dans l'espace fermé lorsque la source de chaleur est hors tension. L'emplacement du dispositif par rapport à la source de chaleur permet de régénérer l'agent séchant du dispositif lorsque la source est sous tension. Le dispositif peut se présenter sous des formes variées pour faciliter le placement dudit dispositif de manière adjacente à la source de chaleur.

Abstract: La présente invention permet de faire adhérer fermement une pluralité de couches successives entre elles et sur la surface d'une plaquette et sur un composant ou sous-ensemble électrique même lorsque la surface de la plaquette n'est pas régulière et que les couches ne sont pas lisses.  Selon le procédé de l'invention, on nettoie d'abord la surface de la plaquette par bombardement ionique d'un gaz inerte (par exemple, l'argon) sur la surface de la plaquette par décharge RF à une pression de gaz relativement élevée.  On forme alors à la surface de la plaquette des irrégularités microscopiques en appliquant une faible puissance de sorte que les ions de gaz inerte (par exemple, l'argon) n'ont pas assez d'énergie pour graver la surface.  On dépose ensuite par pulvérisation cathodique une couche de chrome sur la surface de la plaquette au moyen d'un magnétron à courant continu avec une contrainte de traction intrinsèque et une faible présence de gaz en faisant passer une quantité minimale de gaz inerte dans le magnétron et en n'appliquant pas de polarisation RF à la plaquette.  La couche de chrome se lie automatiquement à la surface de la plaquette présentant des irrégularités microscopiques.  On dépose une couche d'un alliage de nickel et de vanadium sur la couche de chrome, et une couche d'un métal choisi dans le groupe composé de l'or, de l'argent et du cuivre sur la couche de nickel-vanadium.  On dépose la couche de nickel-vanadium entre la couche de chrome et la couche métallique avec une contrainte de compression intrinsèque en appliquant une polarisation RF à la plaquette afin de neutraliser la contrainte de tension intrinsèque de la couche de chrome et toute contrainte intrinsèque de la couche métallique.

Abstract: A system and method automatically determines appropriate font
characteristics for different display mediums and different readability
parameters in any language. A method includes determining font
characteristics by receiving data including a font identifier and a
language identifier, producing a representative line of type in the
identified language and with the identified font, measuring
characteristics of the representative line of type, and normalizing the
measurements across a plurality of fonts and a plurality of languages.
The normalizing refers to widths of portions of the text called a "black
river", which is used to identify plotted measured characteristics to
determine an average grayness across a perpendicular to a reading
direction. The average grayness enables comparisons to pluralities of
fonts and languages. A system and method determines an optimum size for
a font for readability. A method determines font characteristics by
determining a character density for the font and multiplying the
character density by a sharpest focusable area of the viewing medium.
