Inventor: SUN QIBIN
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for watermarking and authenticating data. Features codes are derived from multimedia data (e.g., image data) and used to derive a quasi-random watermark and an encrypted signature. In two stages of watermarking, the quasi-random watermark and the signature are embedded in the multimedia data to derive watermarked data. In an authentication procedure, the watermarked data are authenticated by newly deriving the feature codes, extracting the watermarks, and determining whether the extracted watermarks correspond to the newly derived feature codes. In addition, the embedded signature is extracted from the data and decrypted. The newly derived feature codes are used to derive data which is compared to the decrypted signature. The user of the above procedures can select a desired authentication strength based upon the percentage of the multimedia data used to derive the feature codes.

Abstract: A pin tool assembly is provided for transferring small amounts of liquids to a
substrate. The assembly includes a base plate with an array of apertures formed
therethrough. Pins are disposed in the apertures. The pins and the apertures are
dimensioned to permit sliding movement along the axis of the pins but to prevent
wobbling movement. A weight plate is mounted over the pins to urge the pins into a
fully seated position in the apertures. A transition cover is releasably engaged over the
base plate. The cover includes a plurality of upwardly opening receptacles for
releasable engagement with a pipette dispenser head. The pipette dispenser head can be
employed with a robotic device for moving the pin tool assembly from a well plate or
other liquid source to a selected destination for the liquid. The pin tool assembly then
can be separated from the dispenser head and discarded or recycled.

Abstract: A definitive socket for residual limb prosthetic use is formed in a single
molding step by compressive pressure casting or molding a pre-formed, moldable,
hardenable socket material over a residual limb and curing the socket material to
a load-bearing hardened condition while it is maintained under peripheral
compressive pressure against the residual limb and while the residual limb is
tensioned in a distal direction during the casting process. The combination of
pressure casting the socket material and applying tension to the residual limb in a
distal direction while the socket material is curing results in forming a definitive
socket that fits well to the residual limb after curing without substantial
rectification. Pressure relief formations, socket coverings, and a prosthesis coupler
may be compression molded simultaneously with the socket.

Abstract: A method for simulating the final finish of a multi-component finish material
comprises submitting or receiving a request describing a desired single or
multicolor surface appearance in a finish simulator to generate one or more
simulated appearance samples, obtaining feedback on said simulated
appearance sample and, if necessary, modifying said sample to simulate said
desired surface appearance. The finish simulator comprises a library of finish
templates that have been produced and software or processing means to apply
rules to adjust the simulated finish for known changes in chemistry,
composition, and application conditions. In addition, the appearance of an actual
multicolor sample is reproduced by separating the sample into areas of different
individual colors, identifying the individual color of each of said areas,
translating said individual area colors into color values that correspond to those
in a database of colors that have been produced, and searching the database for
existing colors that are close matches for those in the sample. The final finish of
the closely matching colors is preferably simulated and assessed electronically
using a finish simulator. The method of the present invention reduces the total
time necessary to generate a multi-component color finish to match a given
sample and can eliminate the need for making trial finishes in assessing color
finishes for matching.

Abstract: We describe here an in vitro method of increasing complementarity in a heteroduplex polynucleotide sequence. The method uses annealing of opposite strands to form a polynucleotide duplex with mismatches. The heteroduplex polynucleotide is combined with an effective amount of enzymes having strand cleavage activity, 3' to 5' exonuclease activity, and polymerase activity, and allowing sufficient time for the percentage of complementarity to be increased within the heteroduplex. Not all heteroduplex polynucleotides will necessarily have all mismatches resolved to complementarity. The resulting polynucleotide is optionally ligated. Several variant polynucleotides result. At sites where either of the opposite strands has templated recoding in the other strand, the resulting percent complementarity of the heteroduplex polynucleotide sequence is increased. Also described are mismatch endonucleases suitable for use in the process.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une technique permettant à des stations améliorées et à des stations conventionnelles de fonctionner les unes avec les autres sans rencontrer les problèmes de surcharge de signalisation de la technique antérieure. Une station améliorée envoie une trame courte initiale à l'aide d'une modulation compatible avec les stations conventionnelles.

La durée spécifiée dans la trame initiale envoyée couvre l'intervalle de temps de l'échange de trames suivant. Toutes les stations, y compris les stations conventionnelles, écoutent attentivement l'échange de trames et se retiennent ensuite d'émettre spontanément pendant l'intervalle de temps couvert par la durée. Dans une variante, l'échange de trames peut comprendre de multiples trames de données ainsi que les trames d'accusé de réception correspondantes. La station améliorée peut aussi envoyer, pendant l'échange de trames restant, une ou plusieurs trames intermédiaires qui indiquent la durée.
