Title: Micromechanical relay; has bottom electrode on substrate and two spaced contact faces formed by flexible, reversibly deformable material regions
Inventor: SCHIELE IGNAZ
IPC: H01H1/50
Filed: 1999-10-22
Abstract: A movable element, forming a counter electrode and carrying a contact bracket, is coupled to the substrate (1) by a connector. There are two contact faces spaced by a gap. On applying a voltage between the bottom and counter electrode, the connector and bracket are moved towards the bottom electrode. Thus, the bracket is pressed against the contact faces to form an electrical contact. The contact faces are formed by flexible, reversibly deformable material regions, set under bias voltage such that, in the contactless state, they deflect upwards, and on compression of the bracket, they are deflected downwards. Independent claims are included for the manufacturing method.

Abstract: Two video signals, typically an original signal and a degraded version of the same signal, are analyzed firstly to identify perceptually relevant boundaries of elements forming video images depicted therein. These boundaries are then compared to determine the extent to which the properties of the boundaries defined in one image are preserved in the other, to generate an output indicative of the perceptual difference between the first and second signals. The boundaries may be defined by edges, color, luminance or texture contrasts, disparities between frames in a moving or stereoscopic image, or other means. The presence, absence, difference in clarity or difference in means of definition of the boundaries is indicative of the perceptual importance of the differences between the signals, and therefore of the extent to which any degradation of the signal will be perceived by the human viewer of the resulting degraded image. The results may also be weighted according to the perceptual importance of the image depicted—for example the features which identify a human face, and in particular those responsible for visual speech cues.
