Title: Audience rating system for digital television and radio
Inventor: MASSETTI ENRICO EMILIO
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: An audience rating system for digital television and radio, using identification codes in control streams (C) of time-multiplexed digital transmissions (12). When a television set (22) or radio, that is being monitored pursuant to the system is turned on and tuned to a channel, and each time that the channel is changed, an identification code for each audio, video or auxiliary digital stream of the channel is extracted from the control stream, and recorded along with the time. The time is also recorded when the television set or radio is turned off. This data makes it possible to determine what stations, channels, and programs members of the audience being monitored are watching or listening to at any particular time.

Inventor: PASTOR MARC
IPC: G01R31/309
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: A Printed Circuit Board (PCB), bare or populated with electronic components, may present some short-circuits occurring during the manufacturing or the assembly process. By taking different images of the entire PCB with a Visible-NIR camera at specific times, before and after the short-circuit current is applied, and by processing them, it is possible to find the exact location of the short-circuit fault on the PCB. The Visible-NIR Focal Plan Array (FPA) of the camera, which is sensitive in the NIR band, is able to sense and to detect an extra signal due to the heat radiation of the short-circuit area. Once this extra signal has been detected for some identified pixels, these pixels are reported to the Visible image to pin point the exact location of the short-circuit fault. The fault can be corrected by the usual repair methods.
