Abstract: A digital image processing method for reducing the noise of a color digital image having pixel values, includes the steps of: identifying one or more color regions in color space; identifying a pixel of interest in the color digital image; calculating a color weighting factor for the pixel of interest, the color weighting factor being a near continuous function of the one or more color regions; using the color weighting factor and the values of pixels sampled from a local neighborhood of pixels about the pixel of interest to calculate a noise reduced pixel value; replacing the original value of the pixel of interest with the noise reduced pixel value; and repeating the steps for other pixels in the digital image. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system that adapts wireless link parameters for a wireless communication link. A measure is determined of errors occuring in communication over a wireless link. In a case that the measure of errors corresponds to more errors than a first predetermined threshold, communication changes from a first set of wireless link parameters to a second set of wireless link parameters. The second set of wireless link parameters corresponds to higher error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. In a case that the measure of errors corresponds to fewer errors than a second predetermined threshold, communication changes from the first set of wireless link parameters to a third set of wireless link parameters. The third set of wireless link parameters corresponds to lower error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. Preferably, the measure of errors is determined by monitoring a number of NACK messages and a number of ACK messages that occur. It is determined that the measure of errors corresponds to more errors than the first predetermined threshold when more than a predetermined number of NACK messages occur in succession. It is determined that the measure of errors corresponds to fewer errors than the second predetermined threshold when more than a predetermined number of ACK messages occur in succession.

Abstract: The method and system for TV user profile data prediction and modeling allows accurate and narrowly focused behavioral clustering. A client-side system classifies television consumers into representative user profiles. The profiles target individual user advertising and program preference category groups. A contextual behavioral profiling system determines the user's monitor behavior and content preferences, and the system may be continually updated with user information. A behavioral model database is queried by various system modules. The programming, including targeted advertising for television and interactive television is based on the profile data prediction, modeling and preference determination. The system is enabled to present a complete program sequence to the viewer based on the preference determination and stored programming. The latter is referred to as automatic program sequence (virtual channel) creation and the virtual channel can be presented as a separate channel in an electronic programming guide (EPG). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The module is designed for supplying hydrogen to a fuel mini-cell, wherein hydrogen is gradually released by combustion of elements made of pyrotechnic material, after ignition. A device for sequential control of ignition of the pyrotechnic elements comprises a circuit controlling an electrical or light energy source which supplies an ignition control signal causing energy to be applied to the input of a series of connecting means, respectively associated with each of the pyrotechnic elements. A single pyrotechnic element is connected to the energy source at any one time, the elements preceding it having already been used. The connecting means can be sensitive to temperature or to pressure.

Abstract: A web server (1) responds to requests for information by accessing a first memory (9) to retrieve data required to generate a web page. The integrity of the retrieved data files is checked before generating the web page and, if necessary, the data file is repaired to correct any unauthorised modification, the repair process comprising access to a master copy of the file stored in a second memory (10) in read only form. Verification comprises decrypting a stored signature. The first memory can be a hard disc drive or the like providing rapid access for high speed operation. The relatively slow access time associated with the second memory in read only form can be tolerated since access is required only for repair purposes when a file cannot be verified. The server has application to providing secure services via the Internet where data files held in a server are likely to be open to attackers seeking to modify files for fraudulent purposes.

Specifically, reacting a reaction mixture comprising (i) one mole of a diepoxide having at least two glycidyl ether type epoxy groups; (ii) 0.5 to 2.0 moles of an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid; (iii) 0.1 to 0.5, preferably 0.1 to 0.3, moles of maleic anhydride; and, (iv) water, until substantially all of the epoxy groups disappear leads to the formation of a resin with a high shear (at least 500 s<SUP>-1</SUP>) viscosity of less than 1200 cP when measured in a 70% NVM (non-volatile matter) styrene solution. The resin may be used in barrier coatings, gel coatings, skin coatings and as a laminate resin.

Abstract: A tubular acoustic attenuation piece (1) comprises at least two shells (2) with a cellular core. External fish plate strips (8) alone secure the shells together and are fixed to the shells by fixing mechanism which are not visible on the side of the internal skins. Each of the longitudinal connection edges consists of an edge face of the corresponding shell.  A tubular acoustic attenuation piece for a jet engine air intake, comprises at least two shells, each of which forms a longitudinal part of the tubular piece and which are connected along their longitudinal edges to form the piece. The wall of each shell consists of a permeable internal skin (3), of an impermeable external skin (4) and of a cellular core (5) between the internal and external skins. For each connection (7) between two longitudinal edges of two adjacent shells, an external longitudinal fish plate strip is arranged on the side of the external skins of the adjacent shells, straddling the connection, and secured to the external skins. The external fish plate strips alone secure the shells together and are fixed to the shells by fixing mechanism which are not visible on the side of the internal skins. Each of the longitudinal connection edges consists of an edge face of the corresponding shell, along which edge face the cellular core of this shell has a marginal area of the same thickness as the rest of the cellular core but which can be damaged, so that the shell, corresponding with the marginal area, has acoustic attenuation which is not as good as in the remainder of the shell. Two facing longitudinal edges of two adjacent shells leave a slot (9) between them. The sum of the width of the slot and of the widths of the two facing marginal areas is at most equal to 15 mm.

Abstract: A multimode queuing system (600) for DiffSery routers is provided. The multimode buffering and scheduling system that can be adjusted to show either "pure" Assured Forwarding/Expedited Forwarding (AF/EF) behavior, "pure" DiffServ Urgency Importance (DSUI) behavior, or a combination of the AF/EF behavior and the DSUI behavior. An operation point parameter may be set to select the desired behavior. DiffServ products utilizing the combination of the behaviors are flexible and more configurable as compared to only AF/EF products. The multimode queuing system deployment is simple and is a low cost modification to DiffServ routers. The same hardware and/or software implementation can support both mechanisms with very small additional cost and effort. Also the management of the system is simplified. For example, there is no need for several parallel queuing systems.A multimode queuing system (600) for DiffSery routers is provided.
