Title: Method and system for transmitting a chain of messages for database
Inventor: NICOLAS CHRISTOPHE
IPC: H04N7/52
Filed: 2000-09-14
Granted: 2010-11-23
Abstract: This invention consists in a process and in a transmission system of chain of database updating messages between a managing centre and a plurality of subscriber databases geographically shared. Each message includes a chain identifier (FM) and a chain index (FI) allowing to identify the message in the chain. If a message is not received following an interference in the connection, the processing of following messages can cause the locking of databases. In order to avoid this drawback, the solution consists in adding to each message a condition block (CD) which determines if this message has to be processed without reference to elements of the chain or which are the conditions linked to the previous processing of elements of the chain.

Title: Method for measuring side run-out of wheel
Inventor: HIRANO AKIRA
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2001-03-19
Granted: 2007-07-10
Abstract: A method for measuring side run-out of a wheel by turning the wheel mounted on a roller supported rotatably. It is judged whether or not the difference between the side run-out of a wheel at the start point of one turn and the end point of the one turn falls within a specified range or not. If it falls within the specified range, the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the side run-out during rotation is defined as the side run-out of the wheel. Even if the wheel is displaced during measurement to cause variation in the measurement value of the side run-out, the varied measurement value can be removed and highly accurate side run-out and side run-out width can be obtained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing a computer graphic character live in a manner homologous to a live puppetry performance.  Character representation information is created and stored (302) using a first computer. Performer movement information is received at the first computer from a manual input device (304) that receives live manual manipulations and converts the manipulations into the performer movement information. Character motion information is created and stored based on combining the performer movement information with the character representation information (306). The character motion information is communicated (308) in real time to a second computer. The second computer converts the character motion information into movements of a computer graphic character, which is displayed substantially synchronized to the live manual manipulations (310). Control objects define elements of the manual input device. Actuators define movable elements of the computer graphic character. Expression objects tie controls to actuators and may be used to develop and store complex character expressions. The system may also drive robotic or electromechanically actuated puppet creatures.

Abstract: When a large load is exerted during restraint control of the engine revolution, the drop of the engine revolution is significant and it comes into a state in which harsh braking is applied during travel, thereby impairing feeling of travel. Fig. 3(a) shows a comparative example, and when starting and termination of restraint control is implemented at an identical "threshold value", the difference d1 between the point P6 and the point P5 is a drop of the engine revolution. When the difference d1 is significant, it comes into a state in which harsh braking is applied during the travel, thereby impairing feeling of travel. Fig. 3(b) shows an embodiment, in which starting of restraint control is implemented at the first threshold value and termination of restraint control is implemented at the second threshold value. When the engine revolution is lowered to the value below the second threshold value at the point P14, restraint control is terminated and the operation is changed into the normal operation. Though the difference d10 between the point P16 and the point P15 is a drop of the engine revolution, the difference d10 is a fraction of the difference d1 shown in Fig. 6(a), which is small enough. The smaller the difference d10, the lower the feeling of braking during travel, and thus the feeling of travel is improved.

Abstract: La présente invention permet d'afficher des données en provenance d'une pluralité de capteurs représentant l'état d'un patient, y compris des signaux de mesure et des paramètres secondaires dérivés desdits signaux de mesure, simplement en les mappant à partir de l'espace de mesure pluridimensionnel en un espace de visualisation bidimensionnel. On effectue cette opération de mappage en préservant la topographie des points de données, par exemple en veillant à ce que les distances entre les points dans l'espace de visualisation correspondent aussi étroitement que possible aux distances entre les points dans l'espace de mesure. Ce type de mappage, par exemple le mappage de Sammon, est effectué par un réseau neuronal artificiel entraîné de façon adéquate. Les paramètres sont normalisés avant le processus de mappage, et la normalisation et le mappage sont tels que les points mappés d'un patient dont l'état est normal apparaissent au centre de l'espace de visualisation, tandis que les points d'un patient dont l'état est anormal apparaissent au bord de l'espace de visualisation. On peut entraîner le réseau neuronal artificiel en utilisant des points de données en provenance d'un seul patient ou d'un groupe de patients, et on peut amincir les données à l'aide d'un algorithme de pré-groupage.
