Patent EP-1178816-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ORENTREICH NORMAN
IPC: A61K35/16
Filed: 2000-04-13
Abstract: Materials for soft tissue augmentation in mammals are prepared by cross-linking blood plasma proteins, preferably with a zero-length cross-linking agent. The cross-linked blood plasma proteins can be dialyzed and autoclaved. Such materials are non-antigenic, exhibit decreased allergic response, and have increased longevity with respect to proteolytic attack from natural proteases. The appearance and/or feel of soft tissue defects and/or imperfections in skin can be improved by injecting such materials into an intradermal compartment of a patient's skin.

Title: Annulation de signal fort dans le but d'ameliorer le traitement d'un signal faible a spectre etale
Inventor: NORMAN CHARLES P
IPC: H04B1/7097
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, à la réception d'un signal radio à spectre étalé à codage AMCR contenant un signal fort et un signal faible, on calcule l'interférence du signal fort avec le signal faible afin de faciliter la poursuite du signal faible.  Les codes modulant les deux signaux sont connus et on peut prédire le signal faible.  On calcule l'interférence du signal fort comme le produit de l'amplitude du signal fort et l'intercorrélation prédite du signal fort avec le signal faible.  Le signal fort peut être mesuré, prédit ou acquis par une combinaison des deux procédés.  L'intercorrélation peut être prédite pour une plage de valeurs de signal faible, et le signal faible peut être choisi comme la prédiction produisant la plus grande puissance reçue.

Abstract: A sheet feeder separates a stack of sheet materials (2)
one by one for securely feeding individual sheet materials
without multiple sheet feeding or failure in feeding a sheet
material. The leading edge of a sheet material stacked on a
bottom board (1) of a cassette (11) is brought into contact with a
sheet feed roller (4). Near the location at which the leading
edge of the sheet material is in contact with the sheet feed
roller, a tilt member (6) is pressed onto the sheet feed roller
by the action of a compression spring (5). A contact area of the
tilt member with the sheet feed roller is reduced to prevent
the sheet feed roller from rotating together with the sheet
material. The topmost sheet material is fed by the rotation
of the sheet feed roller in the counter-clockwise direction
and supplied beyond the tilt member by a friction with the
sheet feed roller, whereas the next sheet material is
blocked by the tilt member due to a smaller friction between
the sheet materials, thereby preventing the multiple sheet
feeding.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for validating recommendations generated by a television program recommender using programmed viewing agents. A viewing agent is programmed with a set of rules that characterize the viewing preferences of a modeled viewer. During a training phase, the programmed rules of a viewing agent are applied to a set of training programs to obtain an agent viewing history. The generated agent viewing history is processed by a profiler to derive an agent profile containing a set of inferred rules. During an evaluation phase, the programmed rules of the viewing agent are applied to test programs to obtain an agent evaluation viewing set . In parallel, the television program recommender generates a set of program recommendations by applying the agent profile to the test programs. The agent evaluation viewing set (generated from the programmed rules) is then compared with the program recommendations (generated from the inferred rules). The present invention also estimates the required size of the viewing history to provide a given level of accuracy. The viewing agents can be programmed to introduce one or more random shows into the viewing history, or to change the preferences of the viewing agent over time, thereby allowing the television program recommender validator to evaluate how the program recommender processes such non-stationaries.
