Abstract: A fluid pressure responsive electrical switch (10) is shown having a generally flat base (12) formed with an annular recess (12e) which receives therein the distal free end of a cup-shaped resilient membrane (16) captured by the distal free end of a tubular sidewall (14a) of housing (14). Membrane (16) defines a dampener chamber (16d) having a constricting orifice (12f) to a fluid pressure receiving portion (12d) of the switch. The top wall (16a) of the membrane is adapted to transfer fluid pressure to a snap-acting disc (18) which, when actuated by a selected high pressure build-up within the dampener chamber, will in turn engage the bight (22f) of movable contact arm (22c) and move the movable contact arm to separate movable contact (26) from stationary contact (24) mounted within a switch chamber (14d) of housing (14).

Abstract: A display device (506) is driven in a number of sub-fields. Each of the sub-fields is for outputting a respective illumination level by the display device. In each sub-field, a pixel of the displayed image may emit an amount of light corresponding to the particular sub-field, depending on whether it is switched on or not. A required intensity level of the pixel is realized by selecting an appropriate combination of sub-fields in which the pixel is switched on. According to the invention, a selection is made from the possible intensity levels that can be generated by all possible combinations of sub-fields. This selection contains those intensity levels that can be generated by sub-fields that are temporally close together, thus causing that the light of a pixel is emitted during a relatively short period. The image display unit (300) has a means (306) that is arranged to store the combinations of sub-fields for the respective selected intensity levels.

Abstract: The method involves defining mask values for image elements and an upper intensity value difference limit, computing intensity difference values for elements of first and second images, comparing the difference values with the limit, incrementing the mask value if a computed difference value exceeds the limit and computing a weighting value from the difference and mask values. Weighting values smaller than a defined alarm value are masked. The method involves defining mask values associated with image elements (20,30), defining an upper intensity value different limit, computing difference values for the intensity values of the elements of first and second images, comparing the difference values with the limit, increasing the mask value by a defined increment if a computed difference value is larger than the upper limit and computing a weighting value from the difference value and the mask value, whereby weighting values smaller than a defined alarm value are masked.

Abstract: Presented is a system and a method for load balancing multiple globally-dispersed
servers based on client-centric performance criteria. The infrastructure of
the system includes load balancing domain name servers (DNS-LBs) deployed in
close physical proximity to the Internet service providers' points of presence. The
DNS-LBs are then able to monitor the performance of the servers from a location
close to the clients, which allows the DNS-LBs to select a server that will yield the
best performance from that location for the client. A second level of the infrastructure
utilizes domain name servers (DNS-Bs) that are deployed on the Internet backbones
and regional provides. The authoritative domain name servers (DNS-As) for the
servers to be load balanced refer all name queries to these DNS-Bs. The DNS-Bs then
refer the queries to one of the DNS-LBs based on a mapping of the DNS-ISP address
to its physically proximate DNS-LB. The DNS-LB then returns the IP address of the
server that will provide the best performance from that location.

Abstract: A method for the joint analysis and
interpretation of two or more seismic derived layer
property data sets is disclosed. The input for the
analysis phase may consist of well logs, attribute
horizons, seismic derived layer property data sets or
other data sets, as long as these data sets for analysis
contain the same layer properties as the input seismic
derived layer property data sets. This data is analyzed,
for example through crossplots, to determine subspaces
that define certain subsurface features of interest. In
the next step the seismic derived layer property data
sets are scanned to classify if points fall inside or
outside these subspaces. This classification step in the
method automatically detects subsurface features in the
input seismic derived layer property data sets
corresponding to the subsurface features of interest as
determined in the analysis step. In the next step the
classified points are spatially analyzed with a
connectivity algorithm to automatically create geologic
bodies consisting of spatially connected points. After
classification and connectivity analysis the results may
be reviewed, typically with a 3D visualization tool.
Based on this review changes may be made in previous
steps. In a final step, various maps can be automatically
generated from the geologic bodies. The procedure can be
applied multiple times to so analyze and interpret
multiple, large volumes of seismic derived layer property
data sets in a new, very efficient, highly automated way.

conducts correlation operation on an average feature vector
[s ^ n, M ] of the standard vector [a n, M ] corresponding to the path
search result Dv and the feature vector series [S i, M ], the
adaptive vector [x n, M ] is generated. The adaptive vector [x n,
