Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'imagerie numérique (311 et 321) comportant des techniques pour réduire le niveau de puissance de traitement nécessaire à une caméra numérique donnée ainsi que la largeur de bande nécessaire à la transmission d'informations d'images vers une plate-forme cible. Le système soumet et/ou distribue le traitement entre l'imageur numérique (311 et 321) et la plate-forme cible (311 et 321) à laquelle l'imageur numérique va finalement être connecté. De cette manière, le système est capable de diminuer le travail de calcul réel au niveau de l'imageur numérique. En fait, le système exécute uniquement un travail de calcul partiel au niveau de l'imageur numérique et achève le calcul ailleurs, notamment au niveau d'un dispositif informatique cible, tel qu'un ordinateur de bureau, dans lequel le temps et la taille ne sont pas un problème (du point de vue de l'imageur). En soumettant les traitements fortement utilisateurs de ressources, la présente invention réduit sensiblement les exigences du processeur et les besoins en batterie concomitante pour caméras numériques. En outre, en adoptant une stratégie d'image optimisée pour la compression (317 et 330), la présente invention diminue la largeur de bande nécessaire à la transmission d'images, facilitant ainsi la transmission radio d'images de caméra numériques.

Abstract: It is presented here an invention which aims at providing a simple indicator of direction for the exit of paper and of other materials in rolls of the respective materials installed as rotate reels. The invention is characterised by presenting a column formed by two successive alternate groups of words/phrases and arrows in horizontal lines, informing basically if the direction is correct (1) or incorrect (2), written upside down in relation to each other. The group of words/phrases and arrows can be printed in the involucre of the roll, where many times there are specifications of the product, or can be affixed in the roll. The correct displacement direction and the incorrect displacement direction can be easily verified by the installer, because there is a natural tendency of people to read what it is written in the usual direction of writing and reading (with the letters with the head upward and from left to right (1 and 4)); and there is a natural difficulty of people to read what is written upside down and from the right to the left (2 and 3).

Title: Form of a printing element in an offset printing process
Inventor: HAENY THOMAS
IPC: B41N1/16
Filed: 2000-06-20
Abstract: The form of the printing element differs within a report format surface. All printing elements of a printing dot have all around straight sides which have different lengths and encompass different sized angles. The clearings between adjacent printing elements have a constant width around a printing element. Due to said geometric arrangement of multishaped printing elements, namely polygons, straight lines are always obtained in any given printing dot regardless of their direction on the surface. Moiré effects are also prevented in four-color printing.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un circuit générateur de signaux d'horloge à spectre étalé amélioré compensant automatiquement: les variations des caractéristiques des composants passifs, le gain du système et le courant de maintien de charge du circuit (100) de la boucle à phase asservie. Les largeurs des impulsions des sorties UP (124) et DOWN (126) du détecteur de phase/fréquence (122) sont relevées à intervalles déterminés pour mesurer l'erreur de déviation des signaux UP et DOWN (124, 126), par rapport aux largeurs d'impulsions normales ou nominales. Si une erreur a été détectée dans les valeurs actuelles de durée des largeurs d'impulsions, le système de boucle à phase asservie (100) s'ajuste en fonction de l'importance et de la direction du signal d'erreur. Les variations des paramètres de gain de la boucle et spécialement du gain de l'oscillateur commandé par tension VCO (134) et du courant de maintien de charge ont un effet significatif sur les signaux de sortie du détecteur de phase/fréquence (122) tel que la largeur des signaux UP et DOWN (124, 126) varie en fonction des variations de fréquence le long du  profil du spectre étalé.

Abstract: In the prior art, if no packing is used, liquid leaks
into the gap between a filter and a liquid port; the use of
a packing increases the number of constituent parts of the
adsorber and, in addition, if the housing and the ring
portion of the filter are small in wall thickness, the
packing may potentially be displaced when the housing is
welded or otherwise joined to the liquid ports.
Furthermore, even if a packing is used, a gap occurs
between the filter and an end face of the housing or
between the filter and the inner surface of the liquid port
and liquid will seep into the gap between the filter and
the liquid port. 
     In the case of use as a medical adsorber, a body fluid
may leak into the space between the filter and the liquid
port and, after the treatment, the body fluid may remain in
the clearance between the filter and an end of the housing
or between the filter and the inner surface of the liquid
port, thus impairing the external appearance of the device. 
     The invention is characterized in that a filling
spillage preventing filter having a structure of an elastic
soft resin is fixed to the housing as it is pressed between
the inner surface of each liquid port and an end face of
the housing.

Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a method for gasifying organic materials which is simple to carry out and requires minimal equipment and which produced an undiluted gas of high calorific value. The inventive method should eliminate the need to use fluid beds and heat exchangers with high temperatures on both sides, with the heat being transferred from the furnace to a heat-carrying medium in a particularly defined way. To this end, the feed material is divided into a volatile phase and a solid carbon-containing residue in the pyrolysis reactor by circulating a hot heat-carrying medium. After the reaction agent has been added, said volatile phase is converted into the product gas by further heating in the reaction area, also using the heat-carrying medium. The solid, carbon-containing residue is separated from the heat-carrying medium in the separating stage and burnt in the furnace. The heat-carrying medium is heated by the waste gases of the furnace in the heating area and then returned to the reformer and then the pyrolysis reactor.

Abstract: A wound dressing having anti-infective activity. The wound dressing provides stable and improved formulations of precursors required in generating anti-infective iodine specifically within a wound site where the oxygen tension may be very low. Furthermore, the design of the invention precludes interference by catalase (and other heme proteins.) in competing for hydrogen peroxide where hydrogen peroxide is used as a component of the iodine generating formulation, ensuring more efficient and sustained production of free iodine as a potent anti-infective agent. The invention takes advantage of the physical design of the wound dressing, and the permeation of body fluid into the dressing, which together serve to initiate formation of nascent iodine concomitant with placement of the dressing into, or over, a wound site. The invention circumvents the problem of trapping elemental iodine in the form of tri-iodide, which lacks microbicidal activity, by the chemical method of generating iodine de novo, and in the presence of excess oxidant. Newly formed iodine is thus able to egress and disperse throughout the wound site before there is an opportunity for it to become fully bound as tri-iodide, conferring to the wound site anti-infective activity. Two embodiments of the wound dressing invention are described comprising a mono- and bilayer configuration which, when placed in a wound site, confer to the site anti-infective properties.

Abstract: A method for reducing noise in a noisy time-varying speech input signal y includes receiving the input signal y and deriving a plurality of spectral component signals representing respective magnitudes |Y(k)| of spectral components of the input signal y. A correlation coefficient ηsn is obtained which indicates a correlation in the spectral domain between a clean speech signal component s and a noise signal component n present in the input signal y(y = s + n). Magnitudes of respective noise-suppressed spectral components Ŝ(k) are estimated by solving a correlation equation which gives a relationship between the magnitudes of the respective spectral components |Y(k)| of the noisy input signal y, the spectral components |S(k)| of the clean speech signal s, and the spectral components |N(k)| of the noise signal n, where the equation includes the correlation based on the obtained correlation coefficient ηsn. Preferably, the correlation equation is given by |Y(k)|a = |S(k)|a + |N(k)|a + η¿sn?|S(k)||N(k)|.
