Une pluralité de premières valeurs sont regroupées avant la première valeur. Le second lecteur de paramètres biométriques fournit un second paramètre biométrique mesuré destiné à être traité par le second moteur de mise en correspondance de paramètres biométriques, afin de produire une seconde valeur qui est représentative de la probabilité du second paramètre biométrique mesuré de correspondre au second relevé de paramètre biométrique enregistré. Une pluralité de secondes valeurs sont regroupées avant la seconde valeur. Le premier et le second lecteur de paramètres biométriques mesurent un paramètre biométrique différent, ou le premier et le second moteur de mise en correspondance de paramètres biométriques utilisent un algorithme différent. Le processeur normalise la première valeur selon la pluralité de premières valeurs, normalise la seconde valeur selon la pluralité de secondes valeurs, et détermine si l'utilisateur correspond à une personne en se servant de la première et de la seconde valeur normalisées.

Abstract: The method involves detecting a fault of a secondary current/voltage waveform of a current transformer. A magnetic flux in the secondary of the transformer is estimated by integration of the secondary current during a time window from the detection of the fault. The estimated magnetic flux is compared with a threshold value, where saturation of the transformer is detected while the threshold value exceeds the magnetic flux. An independent claim is also included for a computer program comprising software adapted to implement a method for detecting saturation of a current transformer.

IPC: H04N17/00

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic compensation of insertion loss in video signals transmitted over conductors is presented. The present invention is particularly applicable to the transmission of video over long lengths of CAT-5 or similar twisted-pair cables. A reference signal having a known form and strength (e.g. a pulse signal) is provided to each pair of conductors carrying a component of a video signal from a transmitter to a receiver. The receiver includes adjustable gain amplifiers for each conductor pair over which a component of the video signal is transmitted. The gains of the amplifiers are initially set at an initial level (e.g., their maximum gain) to allow detection of the reference signal. Once the reference signal is detected in a conductor pair, the amplifier gains are adjusted such that the level of the reference signal is restored approximately to its original form and strength.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved resin bonded sorbent compositions and articles of manufacture fabricated therewith, such as housings, structural components and circuit boards. The introduction of sorbents into resinous molding compositions enables the elimination of more conventional bagged sorbent containments. The novel molding compositions of the invention and parts fabricated therewith are multi-functional, beneficially combining structural, mechanical and adsorptive capabilities without requiring the usual reinforcing additives. Consequently, with the omission of reinforcing additives the novel molding compositions of the invention are further characterized by higher adsorptive capacities by allowing for higher sorbent loading factors than prior adsorbent-containing molding compositions.
