Patent EP-1142343-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SNOOK DANIEL
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 2000-10-23
Abstract: The MPEG-4 standard describes four prediction modes: a direct prediction mode, a bidirectional prediction mode, a forward prediction mode, and a backward prediction mode. These modes may be used for the encoding of a block on the basis of a past reference frame and a future reference frame. Thus, for the encoding of a given block, the invention provides an advantageous strategy leading to the choice of a well adapted prediction mode among the four possible ones. The proposed strategy works in favor of the direct mode and gives criteria to be satisfied when using this particular prediction mode.

Abstract: Tufted carpets bonded with thermoplastic binders and having improved resistance to fuzz formation due to removal of pile yarn filaments from tuft bundles comprise one or more backings, face yarn that forms a pile on one side and stitches on an opposite side, a thermoplastic binder that binds stitches and the backing or backings, and an organic polymer that bonds filaments of the stitches. Processes for making carpets comprise applying to a stitched side of a tufted backing a liquid stitch bind composition comprising an organic polymer component, removing a liquid component of the composition to bond filaments of the stitches and bonding stitches and one or more backings with a thermoplastic binder that is melted or applied as a melt in contact with the stitched side and the backing or backings and solidified.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant une adaptation de débit entre un premier et un second noeuds dans un environnement de communications de données utilisant un bourrage de bits et ayant un budget de liaison de B bits par seconde. Au moins une trame à N dimensions de données d'utilisateurs est randomisée au premier noeud selon une séquence aléatoire pour produire des trames à N-dimensions randomisées, lesquelles sont ensuite dérandomisées au second noeud selon la séquence aléatoire. N est la dimension des trames à N-dimensions en bits. Des occurrences d'un événement se rapportant à une séquence indication sont détectées pour les trames à N-dimensions après randomisation, et jusqu'à n bits sont introduits dans les trames à N-dimensions selon un protocole de bourrage de bits. L'exécution de la randomisation avant introduction permet de choisir n et N de façon que la somme n + N n'excède pas B. On élimine ensuite les bits de façon à pouvoir effectuer la dérandomisation. La randomisation consiste notamment à défaire la combinaison des trames à N-dimensions avec la séquence aléatoire. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on peut utiliser au moins une séquence aléatoire pour randomiser et dérandomiser. L'introduction jusqu'à n bits comporte en outre la détermination d'une distribution de bits de bourrage n selon h(n,N) pour les trames à N-dimensions, n et N étant alors choisis de façon que la somme n + N n'excède pas B.

Title: Method and apparatus for saturated multiplication and accumulation in an application specific signal processor
Inventor: GANAPATHY KUMAR
IPC: G06F7/533
Filed: 2000-10-19
Abstract: An application specific signal processor (ASSP) performs vectorized and nonvectorized operations. Nonvectorized operation may be performed using a saturated multiplication and accumulation operation. The ASSP includes a serial interface (206), a buffer memory (210), a core processor (200A-D) for performing digital signal processing which includes a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor and four signal processing units. The four signal processing units execute the digital signal processing algorithms in parallel including the execution of the saturated multiplication and accumulation operation. The ASSP is utilized in telecommunication interface devices such as a gateway. The ASSP is well suited to handling voice and data compression/decompression in telecommunication systems where network is used to transceive packetized data and voice.

Abstract: A nozzle in a nozzle plate for an inkjet printhead is formed by directing
a laser beam at a nozzle plate. Accurate control of the divergence of the
beam is achieved by splitting the beam into sub-beams, each sub-beam
having divergence with an origin lying apart from the point at which the
beam is created by splitting, and thereafter recombining the sub-beams.
Greater accuracy in the taper and inlet shape of the manufactured nozzle is
thereby obtained.

Patent EP-1355078-A1 (EP)
IPC: B60R21/00
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: This invention is an impact energy absorption device, in which a long part (1)
made of a high strength material is disposed with its lengthwise direction kept
different from an impact direction, and both terminals of the long part (1) are
connected with columns (2) through upper platens (3) covering the upper faces of the
columns (2) kept standing apart from each other with a predetermined distance (L),
comprising a structural system, in which a deformation of the long part (1) caused by
the impact force applied to it, causes the upper platens (3) to move for compressing or
deflecting the columns (2), thereby absorbing the impact energy. 
     The conventional column type energy absorption member is weak against an
impact applied in a direction within a wide angle () such as an impact applied in an
oblique direction. However, the energy absorption device of this invention can
exhibit an impact energy absorption capability even against an impact applied in the
direction within such a wide angle, equivalent or superior to that in the case where it
fails in the axial direction. Furthermore, even if the parts used are damaged, they can
be easily exchanged to allow restoration as an energy absorption device.

candidate numbers are used to query the special database and even the
general unused number database (24) to get available candidates. The
available candidates are offered to the requesting user and the user may
