Abstract: A system for generating an animated image of at least the head of a character which is speaking, with the face of the character having visible articulation or expression matching the words being spoken, is described. An input stream of marked up text comprising text to be spoken by the animated character and instructions representing behavioral features are combined in a modified text stream which includes randomization instructions to create random behavioural features. The modified text stream is processed to produce an audio stream representing the text being spoken and a sequence of phonemes corresponding to portions of the audio signal. The phoneme stream is mapped by phoneme to viseme mapping means to produce a stream of morph targets. The morph targets are, in turn, combined with further random movement instructions and these are then processed in an animation module to generate an animated image of at least the character's head. The animated image is displayed on a display synchronously with the audio signal from the audio stream so that as the animated character speaks, the mouth portion of the character's face matches the phonemes in the audio signal with the random movements adding to character realism. Embodiments of the invention are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for tracing traitor receivers in a broadcast encryption system. The method includes using a false key to encode plural subsets representing receivers in the system. The subsets are derived from a tree using a Subset-Cover system, and the traitor receiver is associated with one or more compromised keys that have been obtained by a potentially cloned pirate receiver. Using a clone of the pirate receiver, the identity of the traitor receiver is determined, or the pirate receiver clones are rendered useless for decrypting data using the compromised key by generating an appropriate set of subsets.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure sensitive prosthesis that includes a tubular member having a passageway extending therethrough and a sleeve attached about one end of the tubular member. The sleeve functions as a one-way valve to permit fluid flowing through the sleeve lumen in a first direction and under a first pressure, while collapsing in response to fluid flowing in a second direction when the pressure thereof exceeds that of the first direction or pressure. One aspect of the invention includes an esophageal anti-reflux expandable prosthesis wherein the sleeve is adapted to invert back through the tubular stent frame to permit belching or vomiting (fluid or materials under a third, significantly higher pressure). Another aspect of the invention includes a tubular drainage stent, such as a biliary or urethral stent in which the sleeve opens to permit passage of fluids, then collapses to prevent retrograde flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to automatic measuring benches. The automatic measurement of the amplitude of an intermodulation spectral line at the output of a TV transmitter is difficult to carry out since this spectral line is often embedded in a nebula of noise, constituted by the spectrum of radiation due to the multiple frequencies of the line frequency. Conventionally the measurement is carried out by making a visual interpretation. When the measurement is carried out automatically, this visual interpretation is not possible. The process according to the invention uses the a priori knowledge of the existence of a threshold at the summit of the spectral line to be measured. It consists in: considering the samples of the spectral signal furnished by the analyser, during a time interval corresponding to the duration of the threshold; considering a sequence of slices in the amplitude scale; counting the number of samples having a value belonging to a given slice, for each of the slices in succession; determining which slice corresponds to the largest number of samples, the value corresponding to this slice constituting the value of the amplitude of the threshold.

Abstract: The method for in vitro mutagenesis of a nucleic acid to produce single stranded DNA containing one or more base alterations includes the steps of: a) preparing an insoluble support carrying a nucleic acid to be mutagenised; b) adding a DNA oligonucleotide primer, which has the desired base alteration(s) but sufficient homology to hybridise with the appropriate site on the said first nucleic acid and allowing the primer to bind thereto; c) hybridising where necessary a further primer corresponding to the end of the nucleic acid at which synthesis is to start and adding a polymerase or reverse transcriptase, and nucleotides to form a DNA strand having the desired alteration(s) and including a ligase to ligate the said DNA strand to the primer; d) removing the first nucleic acid from the synthesised DNA strand; and e) removing said liquid therefrom. Advantageously the nucleic acid to be mutagenised is attached to the insoluble support by hybridisation to a nucleic acid probe attached to said support which probe is covalently attached to said insoluble support. Preferably, the insoluble support consists of magnetic particles which are monodisperse and/or superparamagnetic.
