Title: Method and system for processing, compressing, streaming and interactive rendering of 3d color image data
Inventor: BESL PAUL
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2002-02-27
Abstract: A method and system for the processing, compressing, streaming, efficient transmission, and interactive rendering of 3d color image data are presented. A 3d color image is defined as a collection of 3d xyz locations that possess red-green-blue (RGB) color components just as a conventional 2d color image is a set of 2d xy locations (pixel centers) that possess RGB color components. One major difference is that 2d color images are generally dense and specifically organized on a 2d pixel grid where 3d color images are generally sparse and not organized on a dense-voxel grid in their raw data formats. The described method uses 3d sampling techniques and view-dependent point-size rendering algorithms to provide real-time interactive displays of complex textured 3d objects and scenes without the use of specialized texture mapping support for polygons within 3d graphic display systems. By combining this point-based rendering and modeling approach with an efficient data compression technique that offers a high compression ratio, interactive, realistic 3d graphics can be delivered over relatively low bandwidth channels to devices without custom texture-mapping graphics capabilities.

Title: Process for producing n-halogenated organic compounds
Inventor: ELNAGAR HASSAN Y
IPC: C07D233/72
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: The process enables highly effective N-halogenation of a compound having one or more halogenatable amido or imido functional groups in the molecule. The process involves, for example, concurrently feeding into a reactor (i) water, inorganic base, and the compound to be N-halogenated, e.g., a hydantoin, and a feed of (ii) a brominating agent and/or a chlorinating agent. The proportions of these feeds are such that the pH is kept within the range of ca. 5.5-8.5 (preferably 6.5-8.5, and most preferably 6.8-7.2) and one or more of the amido or imido nitrogen atoms is substituted by a bromine or chlorine atom. A  feature of the processs is that it can be conducted at elevated temperatures as high as about 90 ~C without appreciable thermal decomposition of reactants or product. The resultant product continuously precipitates in high yield and purity. Moreover, products can be produced that are very pale yellow to almost pure white in appearance. Further, the process has been found capable of producing 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin with far larger particle sizes than previously produced on a commercial basis.

Patent CA-2400870-A1 (CA)
Title: File management method
Inventor: YAMAGUCHI TAKAYOSHI
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: When one recording medium is accessed from a multiple number of applications, the medium is usually divided into multiple areas. If this area division is performed and managed by partitioning, it is difficult to change the size of the partitions. Therefore, there has been the problem that the recording medium can not be used effectively. The recording medium is divided into multiple areas, and for each area, dummy data is written into the blank space in the area so that dummy data can only be overwritten using a particular application or with a file of a particular type. This configuration makes it easy to divide the medium into multiple areas and change the size of the areas.

Filed: 2001-12-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a centrifuge comprising a blood bag system with an upper and lower outlet for separating blood constituents and containing a rotor that can be driven in a rotative manner about a hub. At least one conventional whole blood bag, comprising an upper and lower outlet, can be positioned vertically in said blood bag system, whereby the whole blood bag is positioned in the rotor in such a way that one outlet of said bag is bent in one radial direction and the opposite outlet of the whole blood bag is bent in the other radial direction, so that the whole blood bag and the outlets thereof adopt an approximate Z or S-shape. Preferably, the upper outlet of the whole blood bag lies radially towards the interior and the lower outlet of the whole blood bag lies radially towards the exterior. The whole blood bag is retained in an insert, which is in turn held by an approximately sector-shaped cartridge, several cartridges of this type being uniformly arranged around the periphery of the rotor. The advantage of the inventive centrifuge is that conventional, commercially available blood bags can be used and that the individual blood constituents, (plasma, erythrocytes and buffycoat), can be extracted with a significantly higher degree of efficiency, in an optimised manner and with a high degree of purity.
