Title: Watermark embedding in halftoned images
Inventor: DAMERA-VENKATA NIRANJAN
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2004-10-25
Abstract: A method of processing a continuous tone image includes using a halftone screen
to generate a bi-level bitmap (310); partitioning the contone image into an array of image
blocks (315); halftoning the image blocks (340); using the bi-level bitmap to select some
of the halftone image blocks (350); and modifying the selected halftone image blocks
using code words (350), such that information contained in the code words is embedded
in a halftone image (390). A method of extracting embedded information in a halftone
image includes accessing a bi-level bit map (450); partitioning the halftone image into a
plurality of image blocks (400); using the bitmap to select at least some of the blocks
(430); identifying a code word sequence in the selected blocks (440); and extracting the
information from the code word sequence (480).

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes.
An LDPC encoder (203) generates a LDPC code with an outer Bose Chaudhuri
Hocquenghem (BCH) code. For a rate 3/5 code, the approach provides a degree profile that
yields reduced memory requirements for storage of the edge values without significantly
affecting the performance with respect to an "unmodified" rate 3/5 code. The relevant
parameters for the reduced memory LDPC codes are as follows:  q  = 72,  n ldpc    = 64800,  k ldpc    =
 n BCH    = 38880,  k BCH    = 38688. The above approach has particular application in digital video
broadcast services over satellite.

Abstract: When replacing an old exchange with a new one, one or more of a small unit (board or magazine) of the old exchange is removed at a time, and replaced by new equipment controlled through a different communications channel than the old equipment 
     This enables reuse of the existing MDF as well as the cabling from the MDF to the old exchange, which saves cost and also eliminates the need for a lot of changes to cabling documentation and support systems for handling cabling information. 
     When upgrading as described, the new line boards can be designed to provide both voice and DSL services, or else can be made smaller or with higher capacity, so that extra space is freed up for placement of DSL equipment. The new equipment is installed in the same place as the old line board, or at least close enough to the corresponding cabling so that existing line connectors can be used.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'authentification qui est basé sur un reconnaisseur d'empreintes digitales capacitif. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication de ce reconnaisseur d'empreintes digitales. L'idée essentielle dans la mise en oeuvre de l'invention est de fabriquer un reconnaisseur d'empreintes digitales capacitif sur un substrat plastique (363) muni d'un microcircuit intégré enrobé (380). L'invention décrit également un moyen de créer des formes bidimensionnelles ou tridimensionnelles pour des structures d'électrode (321, 322, 325, 365, 366) qui peuvent servir à optimiser le rendement du capteur. Lorsque la structure tridimensionnelle est conçue pour épouser la forme d'un doigt, une très petite pression est requise pour passer le doigt sur la surface du capteur. De cette façon, l'utilisation du capteur est ergonomique et la mesure est rendue très fiable. Le procédé de fabrication selon l'invention décrit la façon de connecter et d'enrober un circuit intégré contenant des circuits électroniques de mesure qui présentent une configuration d'électrodes à plus grande échelle traitée par lots qui permet de saisir l'image capacitive de l'empreinte digitale.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-pressure system in combustion engines and particularly to leak alarms. The idea is to connect the leak flow space of the high-pressure pipe via a valve to an expansion space and furthermore, to measure the pressure in the leak flow space. The valve provides the operatively necessary limitation of the volume of the flow space for pressure measurement and at the same time it acts as a discharge passage for possible over-pressure and leak fuel. A direct passage out of the engine may act as an expansion space. Another option is to use the channel for continuous leak connected to the fuel recycle system as an expansion space.
