Patent BR-9912366-A (BR)
Inventor: LUDVIG EDWARD A
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1999-07-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining video frame sequences with a video display of an interactive program guide (IPG). The apparatus comprises a plurality of compositors that combine background information, video frame sequences and program guide graphics into a single video frame sequence. The sequence is then digitally encoded to form an MPEG-like bitstream. The same background information and video advertising is composited with a different program guide graphic to form another video sequence that is also encoded. A plurality of such sequences are produced with each sequence having a different program guide graphic. Each sequence is encoded and then multiplexed into a transport stream such that all the encoded sequences are transmitted to a subscriber's terminal using a single transport stream. As such, the subscriber can scroll from one program guide to the next without interruption of the background or video display as the program guide graphic is changed. Each graphic contains a set of programs (e.g., channels) listed along a left, vertical axis and each program associated with the channel is identified in a rectangular cell that extends toward the right. The horizontal axis represents time and about 2 hours of programming for ten channels is shown in the graphic.

Title: Sewage sludge extractor head - for sedimentation and settling tanks
Inventor: WALTER KURTH
IPC: B01D21/04
Filed: 1971-08-19
Abstract: The extraction assembly for a rectangular settling tank or for the aeration tank close to it is traversed to and fro along the tank on a gantry running on the side walls and is based on a suction pump whose suction inlet nozzle/head is close to the floor of the central axial trough along the base of the tank. A pair of rigidly coupled flap plates, perpendicular to the direction of motion of the gantry, are mounted on the head so that at any one time the leading flap is raised and the trailing flap is lowered to close off the gap between the head and the floor of the trough. The change-over of position of the two flaps is carried out in a single action. A further plate at the side of the head and parallel to the direction of motion may be also be fitted to close off the side gap between the head and the floor. Improved extraction is achieved.

Patent EE-9400251-A (EE)
Inventor: LEIF FLODMAN
IPC: D21H17/66
Filed: 1994-11-17
Abstract: In a process for making board according to the wet method, a stock is prepared from fibres produced from a fibrous raw material, and a binder is added prior to dewatering and pressing. The process is distinguished by adding the binder to the fibres before the preparation of the stock. The binder may be a water-soluble binder which is precipitated and fixed to the fibres by acidification. Acidification may take place in connection with the preparation of the stock or prior thereto as well as prior to the addition of the binder. The binder can be added to the fibres in the blow line from the defibrator for producing the fibres from the fibrous raw material, or it may be added to the fibres before the defibrator.

Title: Testing the battery of an uninterruptible power supply
Inventor: BOBRY HOWARD H
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: A battery 20 of a UPS 10 is tested by reducing the voltage supplied from the AC mains 12,14 to a value lower than that provided by the battery so that in the event of battery failure during the test the power supplied to the output 24,26 through inverter 22 is not lost. Alternatively a voltage converter (72, fig 3) may be used to boost the voltage of the battery to effect the required change in effective voltages so that the battery becomes the primary source for the test. There may also be more than two sources of power to the UPS output wherein the source which is being tested is given the highest voltage and the priority relationship between the other sources is maintained.

Title: Magnetic position and field sensors
Inventor: YADDEHIGE SENA
IPC: G01D5/14
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A magnetic position sensor for sensing the position of a foot pedal in a motor vehicle and producing an electrical signal representative of the foot pedal position, has a stator 7 with two magnetic regions 3,5 separated by a channel 17, and a magnetic unit 8 which can move along the surface of the stator, the magnetic field in the stator channel 17 being dependent on the position of the magnetic unit 8 relative to the stator. The magnetic unit 8 is connected to the foot pedal so that movement of the pedal causes the unit to move along the stator surface and change the magnetic field in the channel 17. The magnetic field in the channel is sensed by a Hall probe 6 which produces an electrical signal proportional to the displacement of the pedal. The probe 6 may include two Hall devices on adjacent integrated circuit chips, allowing a redundant signal strategy.

Title: Sustained release microparticle and method for preparing the same
Inventor: PARK JIN KYU
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 2000-08-29
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing sustained release microparticles which release a physiologically active substance for long periods of time. The sustained release microparticles are prepared through a multi-emulsion process. A drug of interest is dissolved or dispersed in each of at least two oils to give at least two primary oil phases or emulsions. Each oil phase or emulsion contains a biodegradable polymer. The least two primary oil phases or emulsions are dispersed in one aqueous phase, synchronously or in succession. From the drug-dispersed solution, the organic solvents are removed to produce microparticles. Therefore, the drugs such as leutenizing hormone releasing hormones can be continuously released in vivo for prolonged periods of time, bringing about an improvement in the therapeutic effect.

Title: Enhancing a computer generated 3D model of an object
Inventor: BAUMBERG ADAM MICHAEL
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: A 3D computer model comprising a polygon mesh (<B>500</B>) representing the visual hull of an object is generated by processing images of the object recorded at different positions and orientations to back-project the silhouette of the object in each image. Artifacts (<B>510</B>), which may be concave or convex, are removed by projecting the mesh into each image to give a respective reference silhouette. At least one edge or vertex of the mesh is amended to give a refined mesh, which is then projected into each image. Differences between the resulting silhouette and the corresponding reference are detected and allowed if within certain tolerances. If not within the tolerance, the mesh is returned to its previous state. Preferably, this processing is repeated. Artefacts are removed as this does not make the mesh inconsistent with the reference silhouettes.
