IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant à des consommateurs de déterminer la disponibilité d'incitations à l'achat à travers leur adhésion à des programmes de fidélisation. Des consommateurs peuvent maintenir leur adhésion à divers programmes de fidélisation de sociétés et d'organisations qui offrent des incitations à l'achat dans une base de données interactive sécurisée, et peuvent soumettre une demande concernant des incitations à l'achat disponibles pour l'acquisition potentielle d'un produit, sur la base de leur adhésion. Le système de gestion traite la demande, extrait les incitations disponibles d'au moins une société ou organisation offrante enregistrée dans ce système de gestion, et communique les incitations disponibles au consommateur qui a soumis la demande. Une compensation de promotion peut être offerte aux consommateurs, qu'il leur soit proposé ou non une incitation à l'achat. En outre, des consommateurs peuvent se voir offrir des liens ou des informations pour acquérir le produit ou service voulu directement du système de gestion, ou peuvent recevoir des informations de vendeur ou de fabricant pour le produit ou service voulu.

IPC: G06F3/033

Abstract: A system for interfacing with a computer using visual cues, and a method of performing visual-cue operation. In a computer system having a central processing unit (CPU), and memory, a data-storage device, and an interface for receiving, interpreting and executing commands formulated by a user, a camera is positioned to allow the user to enter its visual field. To remotely operate the computer, the user performs a predetermined motion or series of motions while in the camera's field of view. The camera captures an image of the user and digitized the image into a video data stream. A video processor monitors the video data stream for indications that the user has entered a visual cue by performing a prescribed motion. When a visual cue is recognized, the video processor then generates a command set corresponding to the recognized cue. The command set then presented to the computer's command processor for execution. Ease of use for the visual cue interface is enhanced by using the computer's graphical display to superimpose a command template over the image of the user being captured by the camera.

Abstract: Un système de graphiques qui peut être partagé entre plusieurs canaux d'affichage comprend un tampon de trames, deux arbitres, une trame de pixels et plusieurs files de sortie d'affichage. Le premier arbitre effectue l'arbitrage entre les requêtes de canaux des afficheurs pour afficher les informations provenant du tampon de trames et achemine une requête sélectionnée au tampon de trames. Le tampon de trames sort les informations d'affichage en réponse à la réception de la requête acheminée, et les pixels correspondant à ces informations de l'afficheur sont stockées dans le tampon de pixels. Chaque canal d'affichage a une file de sortie d'affichage correspondante qui envoie les données à un afficheur et génère une requête de pixels depuis le tampon de pixels. Une requête de pixels reçoit les requêtes de pixels générées par les files d'attente d'affichage, sélectionne une ou plusieurs requêtes de pixels et l'achemine au tampon de pixels. En réponse, le tampon de pixels sort les pixels à destination de la file de sortie d'affichage qui a généré la requête de pixels sélectionnée.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring properties of a liquid composition
includes a mechanical resonator, such as a thickness shear mode resonator
or a tuning fork resonator, connected to measurement circuit. The measurement
circuit provides a variable frequency input signal to the tuning fork,
causing the mechanical resonator to oscillate. To test the properties
of a liquid composition, the mechanical resonator is placed inside a sample
well containing a small amount of the liquid. The input signal is then sent
to the mechanical resonator and swept over a selected frequency range,
preferably less than 1 MHz to prevent the liquid being tested from
exhibiting gel-like characteristics and causing false readings. 
     The mechanical resonator's response over the frequency range depends on
various characteristics of the liquid being tested, such as the temperature,
viscosity, and other physical properties.
