Abstract: Ce stimulateur cardiaque (10), sensible au rythme et implantable est également sensible aux changement d'impédance (42) du coeur, et permet de régler le rythme de stimulation cardiaque et/ou le rythme de stimulation cardiaque maximum, en fonction d'un intervalle entre, soit l'administration d'une impulsion de stimulation, soit la détection d'une onde R, et la survenue d'une impédance détectée maximum, appelé intervalle d'interception. Etant donné qu'un point d'interception de la dérivée (114) de la courbe d'impédance a été détecté, l'appareil et le procédé ne sont sensibles ni aux caractéristiques des électrodes, ni au déplacement de celles-ci, ni à la position du corps ni à d'autres facteurs pouvant affecter l'amplitude de l'impédance détectée. Les informations contenues dans l'intervalle d'interception peuvent également être combinées avec d'autres informations détectées ou calculées, afin d'établir les rythmes voulus.

Abstract: A self adjusting jam prevention guide and jam clearance baffle for a printing
machine. A moveable guide (220) is attached to a machine subsystem module (200) and is moveable
from a first position to a second position. In the first position the guide (220) bridges a gap
between the machine subsystem module (200) and a preceding subsystem module (150). In the
second position, the guide is retracted from the gap to allow easy removal of one of the
subsystem modules (150,200). The moveable guide (220) is preferably self actuated by the use of a
biasing device and a ramped section so that the movement of one of the adjacent
subsystem modules (150,200) causes extension and retraction of the guide (220). A jam clearance aid (242) is
further attached to the exit of the machine subsystem module (200). The clearance aid (242) uses a J-shaped
channel to cause a sheet fed into a jammed sheet to buckle and cause both the
first jammed sheet and subsequent sheets to be partially ejected from the paper path for
easy removal therefrom.

Abstract: A miniature microphone component (1) comprises a main body (11) of
a miniature condenser microphone, an anisotropic conductive rubber
connector (13) with embedded thin metallic wires and a rubber casting (12)
called a "bushing" for protection against vibrations. The rubber casting (12)
for protection against vibrations covers the circumference of the main body of
the miniature microphone and holds and retains the rubber connector (13) so
that the rubber connector (13) contacts with the terminal area of the main
body (11) of the miniature microphone. In the sheet of the rubber connector
(13) having a disc-like shape in the terminal area side, thin metallic wires
(14) are embedded and arranged so as to be positioned corresponding to the
two terminals arranged as concentric circles of the main body (11) of the
miniature condenser microphone. The miniature microphone component
(1) integrated into one component can be assembled easily just with pressure
contacting it to terminals on a circuit board inside the main body of a small-size
communication device such as a mobile phone. Thus, the jobs of
soldering and connecting a lead wire can be omitted and the installation
space can be made small.

Abstract: The method involves decomposing words to be recognised into input vectors (K2a) and evaluating the environmental noise (K1). A word is recognised, taking account the noise evaluation stage, by reference to words in a dictionary and noting the distance which separates the input vectors and the nearest input vectors. The word to be recognised is validated by comparing the vector separation distance with a threshold value. Using this procedure, the noise evaluation stage may be carried out at a time when the speaker is not speaking, and the threshold value may be modified as a function of the evaluation effected by the evaluation stage.

Abstract: Printhead temperatures are maintained at an optimum temperature
by mounting the printheads (52A,54A,56A,58A)in thermal contact with
a support bar (46,48,50) through which an interior channel
(46A,48A,50A) has been formed. A cooling medium such as water is
circulated through the channel (46A,48A,50A), the circulating medium
absorbing heat generated by the printhead during operation. In one partial
width array embodiment, support bars (46,48,50) are mounted at each end
to hollow frame members (42,44). Channels (46A,48A,50A) are formed
through the length of the bars (46,48,50) which connect into the interior
of the frame members (42,44). Water introduced via a pump/circulation
mechanism (62,64) enters the entrance port of one frame member (42),
circulates through the bar channel (46A,48A,50A), and exits the other
frame member (44) through an exit port. Recirculation is achieved using
a feedback loop between a water reservoir (64) and a pump (62). In
another embodiment, a plurality of printhead modules (72A) are butted
together on a single cooling support bar (73) having a channel
therethrough through which water is circulated.

Abstract: Alignment of two video sequences, one being a reference video
sequence and the other being a processed video sequence corresponding to
the reference video sequence, is performed using selected partial pictures
from the reference video sequence. The reference video sequence is
evaluated for portions that have maximum information content spatially
and/or temporally to select the partial pictures, and the location and size
of the partial pictures are stored together with the reference video
sequence. The processed video sequence is then initially aligned to the
reference video sequence by first finding the locations of features from the
partial pictures in the processed video sequence to provide a coarse
misalignment error between the two video sequence, and then using a
correlation algorithm with a scanning window based on the size of the
partial pictures to refine the misalignment error. Once the processed
video sequence is aligned with the reference video sequence by using the
refined misalignment error, measurement of the differences between the
two sequences may be obtained as an indication of the amount of
degradation of the processed video sequence with respect to the reference
video sequence.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une nouvelle série de lignées cellulaires auxiliaires destinées à la complémentation, à l'amplification et à l'atténuation régulée d'adénovirus à délétion en E1. Ces lignées cellulaires présentent l'avantage de pouvoir compléter les délétions de gène dans la région E1 d'un adénovirus sans produire d'adénovirus apte à la réplication (RCA replication-competent adenovirus), ce qui les rend plus sures pour une production en masse de population d'adénovirus destinés à des essais en thérapie génique humaine. Une lignée cellulaire A549E1, qui est une réalisation préférée de cette invention, ne contient que les séquences d'ADN de la région E1 de l'adénovirus 5, suffisantes pour la complémentation de vecteurs adénoviraux à délétion en E1 sans séquence de recouvrement avec le vecteur d'adénovirus.
