Patent EP-1391843-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAURENT CHRISTOPHE
IPC: G06V10/28
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: Method for detecting pixels of a given hue within a pixel image, whereby in a first step (1) pixels, or at least a part thereof, of the given hue are extracted from the original image and used to form a second image (2). In a modeling step (4) a colorimetric model of the given hue is formed from the detected pixels. A second detection step involves detection of pixels adjoining the pixels initially detected and then for each pixel, comparison with the colorimetric model to determine if the pixels are of the given hue and, if so, insertion in the second image. The invention also relates to a corresponding device for method implementation.

Abstract: A system and method is described for providing an encoding scheme for a bit
stream and displaying or printing the encoded bit stream. Using the encoded bit stream, a
pen with a camera may capture an image of a portion of the encoded bit stream. The
captured image may then be decoded to provide an indication of the location of the image
in relation to the encoded bit stream. The encoding scheme includes information
regarding orientation, thus making decoding easier.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for configuring and operating an aircraft (120) for minimizing sonic boom effects (180) at ground level (GL) during supersonic flight including configuring the aircraft so that in flight, with landing gear retracted, a lower aircraft profile (160) is substantially linear or slightly concave downward. A nose portion (162) of the aircraft is arranged so that an apex (163) thereof is coincident with the lower profile of the aircraft. The aircraft is flown at supersonic speed and oriented during supersonic flight so that the substantially linear lower profile of the aircraft is oriented substantially parallel to onset airflow (166). Weak pressure disturbances (168) are generated below the aircraft, and waves thereof are radiated below the aircraft toward the ground. These disturbances below the aircraft are of lesser magnitude than pressure disturbances (170) simultaneously generated and radiated above the aircraft.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, plusieurs gènes sont à régulation positive dans les poumons de patients souffrant d'asthme ou d'allergies. Plusieurs de ces gènes à régulation positive sont impliqués dans le métabolisme de l'arginine dans les poumons. L'invention concerne également un ensemble de 291 gènes signature que l'on peut utiliser pour indiquer la tendance d'un patient à développer de l'asthme ou son niveau de souffrance. En outre, un ensemble de 59 gènes signature permet d'indiquer la tendance d'un patient à développer des allergies. Plusieurs des gènes à régulation positive se rapportant à l'asthme proviennent de la voie métabolique de l'arginine. D'autres gènes, par exemple ADAM8, SPRR2A et SPRR2B, sont également à forte régulation positive au niveau de l'asthme. Le traitement de l'asthme peut être effectué par administration de compositions qui réduisent les niveaux de l'Arginase I, l'Arginase II, CAT2, ou d'autres éléments de la voie de l'arginase dans les poumons. De plus, la détection des niveaux modifiés de ces protéines ou des ARNm les codant peut être utile pour diagnostiquer la présence de l'asthme chez un patient.

Abstract: L'influence de la géométrie des surfaces sur des propriétés métalliques est étudiée dans le cadre de la théorie quantique des électrons libres. Il a été prouvé qu'une surface métallique peut être modifiée avec des stries à motifs afin d'améliorer le niveau de Fermi dans le métal, ce qui entraîne une diminution de la fonction de travail des électrons. Cet effet pourrait exister dans n'importe quel système quantique contenant des fermions dans un boîtier d'énergie potentielle. L'invention concerne aussi un procédé de fabrication de surfaces à nanostructures présentant des caractéristiques perpendiculaires avec des rebords tranchants.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour déterminer la profondeur d'un forage. Ce procédé consiste à déterminer le changement d'un poids suspendu d'un train de tiges d'une première fois à une deuxième fois. Un changement de position axiale de la partie supérieure du train de tiges entre la première et la deuxième fois est ainsi déterminé. Une quantité prévue de compression de train de tige liée au changement de poids suspendu est corrigée en vue du déplacement d'une partie inférieure du train de tige entre la première et la deuxième fois. Une position de la partie inférieure du train de tige est calculée à partir du changement de position axiale et la quantité corrigée de la compression du train de tige. Selon un mode de réalisation, la correction consiste à évaluer le déplacement du trépan en déterminant un mouvement axial du trépan à la surface de la terre entre deux fois avec un même poids suspendu du train de tiges.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating, especially painting, objects, especially vehicle bodies that consist of a plurality of initially individual and then interlinkable parts (5, 6, 7, 8). While these objects used to be coated in a ready-assembled state and their movable parts were moved during coating by means of a robot or by hand in order to reach all surfaces to be coated, according to the inventive method, at least one part (8) of the object is guided separately from the other parts (5, 6, 7) on its own skid (2') through the coating chamber (1). The coating material for all matching parts (5, 6, 7, 8) is taken from the same supply source so that the coating is identical on all parts (5, 6, 7, 8). The matching parts (5, 6, 7, 8), during coating, have such a large distance from one another that all surfaces to be coated can be reached by the application devices (9, 10) without the objects having to be moved. The inventive method thus allows reducing length and width of the coating chamber (1).
