Abstract: A source code is entirely described in a high-level language. The source code includes a
library description and a versatile description other than the library description to correspond
to a target processor-adapted assembler code. The library description is made up of functions
defined in high-level language. In order to produce target processor-adapted software, a

Abstract: Techniques for improving detection of watermarks in content that has undergone a lossy
transformation. One of the techniques is used when the message that is contained in a
watermark belonging to a digital representation that is derived from an original
watermarked digital representation cannot be decoded. The technique obtains
information about the watermark by comparing the watermark vector for the watermark
that cannot be decoded with a replica of the watermark vector from the original
watermarked digital representation. The replica is made using the message. Depending
on the degree of similarity, the watermark's presence and some of its characteristics may
be determined. Another technique improves the robustness of watermarks that are used
for authentication by employing a short (even single-bit) watermark vector to make the
watermark and using the message needed for the authentication to determine where the
watermark is located in the digital representation. Authentication of a digital
representation is done by determining whether the watermark is present in the digital
representation. In another technique, detection of the presence of a watermark is used to
determine what areas of a digital representation have been subject to alteration.
Techniques for synchronizing digital representations for watermark detection and other
purposes include adding marks whose locations can be automatically detected only with
the help of information that is external to the digital representation, such as a key, and
adding marks to a sequence of digital representations and detecting the marks by
summing the sequence.

Abstract: A tire buffer (100) for buffing a tire casing as part of a retread operation can include a
rasp pedestal (112) having a rasp head (160) and a texturing device (168). A moving assembly (114) can be
connected to the rasp pedestal for selectively moving the rasp pedestal along a pair of
perpendicular axes. The rasp pedestal can rotate about a vertical axis. A tire hub
assembly (116) can be included for rotating the tire casing. The tire buffer can be operated at
an operator station by interfacing with a control unit (140). The tire buffer can automatically
buff a tire casing to achieve a predetermined tire casing profile and impart a texture
thereto. The tire buffer includes a tire location (570) mechanism and a tire measurement
mechanism (520) mounted to the rasp pedestal. The control unit (140) can monitor an operating
parameter of the rasp pedestal or the tire hub assembly during the buffing sequence,
compare the actual value of the operating parameter to a predetermined target value of the
parameter, and adjust an operating characteristic of the rasp pedestal, the tire hub
assembly, or both such that the actual value of the operating parameter is urged toward
the calculated target value of the operating parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting a
multimedia message from a server in a multimedia
messaging service center to a target server. A
foreground server, which knows the extensions
supported by the target server, is used in the method. In
addition, in the method it is possible to check the
extensions for receiving a multimedia message
supported by the target server prior to the actual
transmission of the multimedia message, in which case
the loading transmission between the messaging service
centers is reduced. In addition, the invention relates to a
system, which comprises servers of a multimedia
messaging service center, between which the described
method is applied in order to transmit a multimedia
message, as well as to a server and a foreground server
in connection with the target server.

Abstract: A method and system for fabricating micron and sub-micron-sized
features within a polymer layer (402, 502) of a nascent semiconductor device or other
micro-device or nano-device. Small features are directly imprinted with an optical-mechanical
stamp (403, 503) having corresponding intrusions (204 - 207). Large
features are created by exposing the surface of selected areas of the polymer surface (411,
520) to UV radiation by transmitting UV radiation through the optical-mechanical stamp
to chemically alter the polymer, allowing either UV-exposed or UV-shielded areas to be
removed by solvents. Thus, described embodiments of the present invention provide for
a partially transparent imprinting mask that employs purely mechanical stamping for fine
features and lithography-like chemical polymer removal for large features.

Abstract: The detecting system comprises a detecting circuit (1) made up of a transistor (T1) in current generator configuration, connected in series with a resistance (Rs) and a capacitor (13) of known capacitance (Cx), the resistance Rs representing the resistivity of the liquid existing between two electrodes (5, 6) plunged into the liquid. Thanks to the presence of the capacitor (13), it is possible to detect the liquid level in relation to the integral of the current that charges the capacitor (13), resistance Rs being such as to condition the charge time (Tp) of the capacitor (13). Accordingly, the variations in the voltage drop (Vp) on Rs caused by successive charges of the capacitor (13) with a current of time Tp represent corresponding values of the level of the liquid.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs servant à régénérer, à compléter ou à contourner une cellule élémentaire ou un ensemble de cellules élémentaires d'un empilement de cellules élémentaires. Ces procédés et ces dispositifs offrent un mécanisme permettant d'éliminer les dépôts d'impuretés sur l'anode et sur la cathode de la pile à combustible et d'améliorer le fonctionnement des électrolytes. Le dispositif comprend un contrôleur qui commande une résistance variable ou une alimentation variable montée en parallèle avec une cellule élémentaire ou un groupe de cellules élémentaires dans un empilement. Pour commander directement le courant traversant la pile à combustible, il suffit d'adapter la valeur résistive de la résistance variable ou le niveau de tension de l'alimentation variable. Selon la première loi de Kirchhoff, toute réduction de la tension dans la pile à combustible entraîne une augmentation du courant traversant la pile à combustible, ce qui permet, lorsque l'empilement de cellules élémentaires est utilisé, d'éliminer les dépôts d'impuretés sur l'anode et la cathode dus à l'électrocatalyse et, ainsi, de régénérer la pile à combustible. Globalement, l'élimination des dépôts d'impuretés ne nécessite qu'un envoi d'impulsions courtes et périodiques dans le potentiel de la pile à combustible. L'invention concerne également des procédés et des dispositifs servant, d'une part, à déterminer les processus limites dans une pile à combustible afin d'optimiser les performances d'un empilement de cellules élémentaires, et, d'autre part, à établir un diagnostic de l'empilement de cellules élémentaires.
