Patent EP-0869460-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BASSO MICHAEL R
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: A method and system for providing controlled access to information stored on a
smartcard. The system includes a data processing center maintained by a trusted third
party for storing a database of authorizations of various service providers to access
information pertaining to individuals, and for responding to request by service providers
for access from terminals which communicate with the data processing center and
smartcards storing the individuals' information. The information is stored on the smartcard
in encrypted form and the data processing center provides an access code, which includes
a key for decrypting the information, only to service providers who are authorized to
access the information. The service provider then sends the access code to the smartcard
which verifies the access code and decrypts and outputs the requested information. The
smartcard then computes a new key as a function of information unique to each access
session and uses the new key to re-encrypt the information, and then erases the new key.
The data processing center also computes the new key so that the data processing center
can provide an access code including the new key for the next request for access.

Abstract: An improved method of tracking a camera (14) in dynamic chroma-keying of the
type in which a foreground object is photographed against a multicolored chroma-key
screen. The multicolor patterns are created by projection (32,30) on a monochrome screen (20),
for example by projecting light through a mask on a screen colored with the chroma-key
color. The projection of multiple patterns can emulate the use of a single pattern
having multiple levels of detail, and can enable lateral tracking of the camera.
Sequentially projecting known transformations (for example, rotations) of a pattern
adds an extra degree of freedom which further enhances the accuracy of the method.

Abstract: A chemical sensor for detecting a chemical species in a gas
comprises a detector element including a porous organic
semiconductor comprised of a material on which the chemical
species in the gas is adsorbed. The chemical sensor further
comprises a power source for producing a bias voltage and a
depletion region in the detector element. The chemical species
percolates through the organic semiconductor and into the
depletion region under the bias voltage, causing a change in the
capacitance of the detector element. A light source irradiates
the gas with light before entering the detector element. The
light changes the chemical properties of the chemical species
and enhances the adsorption selectivity of the organic
semiconductor. The chemical sensor can determine both the
presence and concentration of the chemical species in the gas
based on the change in capacitance in the detector element. The
chemical sensor can be provided in a portable unit suitable for
field testing applications.

Abstract: A tape cassette (10) is provided which has a tape (26)
extending from one tape reel (22) around a tape engagement
area of the periphery of a guide member (28) and to another
tape reel (24) when the tape is in a normal operating
position when the cassette is in a tape drive. The
cassette includes tape lift off means (30,32) which is
mounted for rotatable movement around the periphery of the
guide member from the normal tape operating position, where
the tape lift off means is out of contact with said tape,
to a tape storage position where the tape lift off means
engages the tape and disengages the tape from at least a
portion of the tape engagement area of the guide member
when the cassette is removed from the tape drive. In
addition to the tape lift off mechanism, a brake mechanism
(100) is provided that engages flanges of both tape reels
(22,24) when the cassette is removed from the tape drive to
prevent the reels from rotating during storage of the
cassette. The brake mechanism (100) is connected to the
tape lift off mechanism (30,32) and is moved by the tape
lift off mechanism into engagement with the flanges of both
reels when the tape lift off mechanism lifts the tape from
the tape guide when the cassette is removed from the tape
drive. The brake mechanism (100) is permitted by the tape
mechanism to move away from the flanges when the cassette
is inserted into the tape drive.

Abstract: An image or sequence of images is watermarked without limiting the
watermark signal. The watermarking apparatus includes a conventional DCT unit
(108) and quantizer (110) for generating an array of quantized DCT coefficients. The
array is watermarked (118) by masking the array to select certain ones of the DCT
coefficients that are then replaced by zero values to form a masked array. The masked
array is further processed by a watermark inserter(120) that replaces the zero valued
coefficients with predefined watermark coefficients to form a watermarked array of
DCT coefficients, e.g., a watermarked image. A decoder for decoding the bitstream
thusly generated and for removing the embedded watermark is also taught.

Abstract: Une source de plasma de rayons x mous assure l'éclairage d'un microfluoroscope. En général, un dispositif optique relais à rayons x recueille une partie du rayonnement divergent du plasma pour le réorienter vers un plan distant. L'écran fluorescent à grain fin ou sans grain d'un microfluoroscope est placé sur ce plan pour recevoir ledit rayonnement. Un spécimen est mis en contact direct avec cet écran, ou placé à proximité de celui-ci, de manière à ce que le spectre des rayons x puisse être projeté sur l'écran. Cet écran est très fin et laisse passer la lumière visible ou les rayons ultraviolets, de sorte qu'un objectif de microscope optique à ouverture numérique élevée puisse s'approcher dudit écran et visualiser ce dernier depuis le côté opposé. Le microscope optique visualise la lumière fluorescente émise par l'écran, cette lumière correspondant au spectre d'absorption des rayons x du spécimen. On utilise d'ordinaire une fenêtre très fine d'une chambre à vide, laissant passer les rayons x, pour séparer le spécimen, l'écran fluorescent, et le microscope, du vide de la source de plasma. On utilise également des filtres en couche mince et/ou des monochromateurs pour limiter à la gamme d'énergie voulue les longueurs d'ondes des rayons x mous qui atteignent l'écran fluorescent. Cet appareil et ce procédé peuvent être utilisés au moyen d'un instrument séparé ou en tant qu'accessoire d'un microscope optique traditionnel.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising active and passive devices is formed in a thin
slice of monocrystalline semiconductor bonded to a high resistivity polycrystalline
silicon substrate. As compared with conventional integrated circuits supported on a
monocrystalline substrate, circuits in monocrystalline films bonded to high resistivity
polycrystalline substrates are less subject to parasitic capacitance, crosstalk and eddy
currents. As compared with typical SOI wafers, the polycrystalline substrates have
higher resistivity, and this resistivity is much less affected by contamination than it
would be in monocrystalline substrates. Compared to silicon-on-sapphire or silicon on
any other insulating material, the polycrystalline substrates are more compatible with
the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of the crystalline silicon layer.
