Inventor: BOUZIANE RICHARD
IPC: C09C1/48
Filed: 2002-06-06
Abstract: The present application discloses a method and apparatus for purging oxygen from a sealed container interior and a purge substance used in such method. The method is exemplified herein in an improved batch process and apparatus for the thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon containing material in a sealed reactor interior. According to the present invention the improved batch process may comprise, 1) loading the hydrocarbon containing material into and sealing the reactor, 2) purging or expelling oxygen from said reactor, and 3) heating said reactor to a predetermined temperature so as to obtain decomposition products, the improvement residing in the purging step including loading the reactor with an oxyphilic solution prior to sealing and heating the interior of the sealed reactor to a predetermined temperature to induce the oxyphilic solution to drive oxygen out of the interior of the container through said gas evacuation component. The purge substance may be for example, an oxyphilic solution as described herein. Using the method of the present invention, material such as rubber, vinyl-polymers, styrene-polymers, ethylene-polymers, synthetic fibers, domestic waste, biomedical waste, animal waste and vegetation or any other type of hydrocarbon containing material and mixtures thereof may be efficiently processed.

Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: A transmit-configuration mechanism (52) for configuring an FEC encoder (34) (including an associated interleaver (84)) for changing data channel characteristics. Channel information specifying a modulation mode and carrie rs capable of supporting the modulation mode for the data channel is received b y a transmitting network node (12a) for use in a data transmission to a receiving network node (12b). The received channel information is based on a  prior data transmission to the receiving network node (12b) over the data channel. Configuration values are computed from the received channel information and an amount of data to be transmitted in a data transmission. The FEC encoder (34) is configured to operate on the data transmission data amount according to the configuration information.

Title: Appareil et methode de representation d'objets a trois dimensions basee sur la profondeur de champ de l'image
Inventor: ZHIRKOV ALEXANDER OLEGOVICH
IPC: G06T15/20
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: Famille de structures de noeuds pour la représentation d'objets tridimensionnels grâce à une image en profondeur. Les structures de noeuds peuvent être modifiées conformément à la norme MPEG-4/AFX et utilisées ainsi pour les représentations polygonales conventionnelles 3D. Les principaux formats de la famille sont les suivants : DepthImage, PointTexture et OctreeImage. La représentation d'un objet en format DepthImage est constituée d'une combinaison de ses images de référence et des cartes de profondeur correspondante. La représentation de l'image en format PointTexture est constituée d'un ensemble de points colorés dont les paramètres ont été définis par l'intermédiaire d'une projection sur une grille bidimensionnelle ordinaire. Dans le format OctreeImage, les mêmes données sont converties dans un modèle de voxels hiérarchique structuré en fonction d'un arbre d'octants, un ensemble d'images de référence compactes et un arbre d'indices de correspondance d'images constituées de voxels. Des versions animées peuvent être créées dans les formats DepthImage et OctreeImage. Dans ces versions, les images de référence sont remplacées par des flux de données vidéo. Les formats de RFIP sont très pratiques pour la construction de modèles 3D à partir d'une numérisation par balayage en 3D et de données vidéo provenant de sources multiples. Le cadre de la norme MPEG-4 permet la construction d'un large éventail de représentations à partir des principaux formats de RFIP, en fournissant des outils flexibles permettant de travailler efficacement avec les modèles 3D. La compression des formats de RFIP est effectuée en appliquant des techniques de compression d'images (de vidéos) aux cartes de profondeur ainsi qu'aux images de référence (flux de données vidéo).

Abstract: The present invention is for use in a security alarm system where it conjoins the movement of the bolt of a lock mechanism with the electrical circuit of the alarm system. In securing premises from unauthorized entry it is customary to furnish doors with mechanical locks and electrical alarm systems. The locks are usually in the form of both a knob operated latch-set and a key operated deadbolt, both of which have a bolt that protrudes from the edge of the door and enters into a strike assembly comprising a strike plate and a strike box which is mortised into the door frame. In this invention the conventional strike box is replaced by a strike box module which contains contacts which intervene in the electrical circuit of an alarm system and are so located as to be opened and closed by the bolt of the latch-set.

Title: System and method of geospatially mapping topological regions and displaying their attributes
Inventor: ANDERSON JAMES J
IPC: G06T17/05
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A geographical information system and a method are disclosed for geospatially mapping at least one parcel polygon within a geographical region and for displaying at least one specific attribute of each parcel polygon, i.e. a topological area within the given geographical region, as an attached attribute of latitude and longitude coordinates. The centroid or center point of each of the parcel polygons is determined and stored into conventional computer storage means. The latitude and longitude point feature at the centroid of each parcel polygon is established and similarly stored. A unique tax identification number, e.g. the Assessor Parcel Number (APN) or Parcel Identifier Number (PIN), is assigned to each of the point features. A correlation is then made between the unique tax identification number of the point feature to a text list of at least one attribute, e.g., the physical address of the parcel polygon, of each of the point features. This attribute becomes attached to each point feature. The resulting parcel polygon map and point features with one or more of the attached attributes can then be displayed within a GIS or CAD system to provide the user, for example, accurate locations of street addresses for use in environments that require pinpoint accuracy, such as emergency response.
