Title: Procede d'animation d'un modele tridimensionnel d'un visage
Inventor: ERDEM TANJU A

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'animation d'un modèle tridimensionnel du visage d'une personne. Ce modèle présente les caractéristiques géométriques (forme) et de texture (couleur) du visage de la personne. La forme du modèle du visage est représentée via un treillis triangulaire tridimensionnelle (treillis géométrique), tandis que la texture du modèle est représentée via une image composite en deux dimensions (image de texture). Un treillis triangulaire tridimensionnel séparé, appelé treillis de forme, permet d'animer les noeuds du treillis géométrique. Chaque triangle du treillis commande le mouvement de plusieurs noeuds du treillis qui sont reliés à ce dernier. Ainsi, en déplaçant les noeuds du treillis de forme, qui sont en petit nombre, les noeuds du treillis géométrique, qui sont en grand nombre, sont animés avec réalisme. Les noeuds du treillis de forme peuvent être déplacés directement ou indirectement. Dans le procédé indirect, les noeuds du treillis de forme sont déplacés en fonction des valeurs dites d'action faciale, qui sont en plus petit nombre que les noeuds du treillis de forme.

Abstract: A sheet-like spring (2), which has a locking pawl (25)
bent from one end thereof and a spring portion (30) bent from
the other end in the same direction as the locking pawl (25),
is mounted on a body (1). The spring portion (30) of the
sheet-like spring (2) is fixed at a front end of a guide post
(7) of the body (1) such that a bent portion (31) is exposed
at the guide post (7). A pull (3) is mounted between the body
(1) and the sheet-like spring (2) such that it can be raised
or laid down. A cam (39) is provided on a bottom face of an
axle (37) of the pull (3), so that the axle (37) can slide on
an inclined guide portion (10) provided on the body (1). When
the pull (3) is laid to the front side of the body (1), a gap
is formed between an edge of a through hole (40) of a grip
portion (38) of the pull (3) and the bent portion (31) of the
sheet-like spring (2). Thus, in this slider with the locking
device, even if a load is applied to the pull (3) in the
horizontal direction or the vertical direction, this gap
prevents the sheet-like spring (2) from plastic deformation.
Further, the sheet-like spring (2) is never plastically
deformed under any use condition, thereby ensuring an excellent
locking function.

Abstract: A portable communication terminal which can establish communications
between portable communication terminals by Bluetooth or the like by a simple
operation are provided. An initiator terminal activates a short-distance radio
communication section to make a Bluetooth function active and sends a request to start
communications using a Bluetooth communication function to an acceptor terminal

responds to the communication-starting request and sends a Bluetooth connection
request to the initiator terminal by using the Bluetooth communication function. The
initiator terminal responds to the Bluetooth connection request whereby a Bluetooth
connecting session is established.

Title: Measured value acquisition and processing unit for small measuring signals
Inventor: NEUMANN SIEGFRIED
IPC: G01R19/00
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a measured value acquisition and processing unit (5) that facilitates the acquisition and processing of very small measuring signals in the range of interfering signals, such as, for example, noise, spillovers, etc. This means that the useful values to be detected usually contain interfering portions. The inventive measured value acquisition and processing unit (5) separately acquires these interfering portions by means of a switch element (10) disposed in the area of feed of the measured signals by means of which the measuring circuit is short-circuited in such a manner that the measured signal is not coupled in but only interfering signals that might occur in the measuring circuit are detected. The inventive method provides a large range of dynamic ratio for the detection of measured values at low costs.
