Abstract: Image data verification system that
reliably determines whether image data generated by an
image generation device such as a digital camera is
altered or not without a significant increase of the computational
capacity of the image generation device. The image
generation device provides a hash of the image data (optionally,
a keyed hash, or an encrypted hash of the data) to a separate
verification data converting device, which appends a
digital signature (using a private key KS). There is also provided
an image verification device which verifies the digital signature
(using the public key KP corresponding to KS).

Abstract: An occupant restraining device (S1) comprises a
shielding member (51F) and an airbag (104F). The shielding
member (51F) in action is so let off from the peripheral edge
(DW) of a window (WF) of a vehicle as to shield the window.
The airbag (104F) in action is expanded and inflated from the
peripheral edge (UW) of the window that it can be interposed
between the shielding member (51F) and an occupant (M). The
airbag (104F) allows the side of the lower end (105b) at the
time of completion of the expansion and inflation to move in
the direction generally perpendicular to the window (WF).
Even if the occupant (M) is close to the window (WF), the
expanded and inflated airbag (104F) is smoothly interposed
between the occupant (M) and the window (WF).

Abstract: A conduit sleeve structure for use with fiber optic cables, coaxial cables and the like includes a pair of adjacent strip-shaped layers of flexible material that are joined along their longitudinal edges to define a channel through which the cable can extend longitudinally through the innerduct structure between the layers. The adjacent layers have differing widths between their longitudinal edges, whereby the wider layer bulges away from the narrower layer to impart an open configuration to the channel. It has been found that the conduit sleeve structure may be manufactured more efficiently and inexpensively if multiple sheets and pull cords are stacked and arranged in such a way that multiple conduit sleeve structures may be manufactured simultaneously in a parallel arrangement. The method of manufacturing the conduit sleeve structures includes feeding several stacked sheets through a folding machine or mechanism, a stitching machine, and then a slitting machine. This method allows the sleeve members to be separated into individual units, or multiple units as desired. In a preferred embodiment, four stacked sheets are used, which ultimately provides three cells or chambers per conduit sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite and a method for reducing post-operative adhesion of tissues. The composite includes a biocompatible, biodegradable support, and a water-insoluble hyaluronic acid derivative at the support. The hyaluronic acid derivative includes an N-acylurea that results from cross-linking by the reaction of hyaluronic acid with a multifunctional carbodiimide. Optionally, a monocarbodiimide also may be employed. A pharmaceutically-active molecule may be added to the N-acylurea derivative of hyaluronic acid. Although the composite includes material that prevents adhesion between tissues, in order to reduce the need for suturing when the composite is being used during a surgical procedure, a material that enhances adhesion of the composite to tissues may be applied to a surface of the composite. A method of forming the composite for reducing post-operative adhesion of tissues, including the step of applying an N-acylurea derivative of hyaluronic acid resulting from cross-linking with a multifunctional carbodiimide, to a biocompatible, biodegradable support; a method of preparing a drug delivery vehicle that includes a pharmaceutically-active molecule with the N-acylurea derivative of hyaluronic acid resulting from cross-linking with a multifunctional carbodiimide; and a method of reducing post-operative adhesion of tissues are disclosed.

Abstract: The color video compression method uses the SPIHT process in three color planes YUV to transform pixels into coefficients ordered by means of three ordered lists, LIS, LIP, and LSP. For natural sequences, chrominance coefficients are most likely to have smaller amplitudes than the luminance ones in the root subband. When a luminance coefficient has a non-significant descendant (offspring) at a given bitplane level, the chrominance coefficients at the same location also have a high probability to have a non-significant offspring. To exploit this redundancy between Y-, U- and V-planes, the non-significance of the three spatio-temporal zero-trees can be therefore encoded by a unique symbol, if the three coefficients corresponding to the same location in the three planes are in neighbor locations in the list of insignificant symbols LIS.
