Patent CA-2404995-A1 (CA)
Title: A video-coding station for an installation for automatically sorting postal items
Inventor: LHOMME CHRISTOPHE
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: The video-coding station for an installation for sorting postal items, in particular packets, steering each packet towards a sorting outlet on the basis of an automatic reading of a postal address (AD) of the packet in a digitized image of the packet, comprises a central processor unit, a screen (EC), and a keyboard (CL), and is programmed so as to display an image (IP) so that a video-coding operator (OV) can perform semi-automatic processing of the reading of the address (AD). The station further comprises a pointing device (JS) for positioning a reticule (RE) on the center of a zone of the image displayed, and a trigger button (BT) for recording the current position of the reticule so that the operator can rapidly identify the location of the postal address (AD). Such a video-coding station enables an operator to identify rapidly a zone of interest comprising the postal address, so that the postal address corresponding to the packet can be identified by applying an automatic character-recognition algorithm to the zone of interest.

Title: Procedes servant a analyser de vastes ensembles de donnees afin de rechercher des marqueurs biologiques
Inventor: HUYN NAM Q
IPC: G16B40/30
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: Procédé d'identification de marqueurs biologiques permettant d'identifier des marqueurs biologiques à l'intérieur de vastes ensembles de données biologiques contenant beaucoup plus de mesures que d'observations. Par exemple, ces données peuvent contenir des milliers de mesures de chaque spécimen sanguin prélevé sur moins de 100 individus, dont chacune est classée dans un ensemble de catégories cliniques ou associée à une valeur de variable continu de réaction clinique. On recherche au moins un biomarqueur contenant un sous-ensemble limité de mesure, pouvant prédire un point clinique déterminant. On peut utiliser ce biomarqueur, par exemple, afin de diagnostiquer une maladie ou d'évaluer la réaction à un médicament. On réduit d'abord l'ensemble de mesures à un ensemble plus petit de mesures candidates par élimination des mesures qui soit ne présentent aucun élément distinctif parmi les catégories, soit sont redondantes. On sélectionne ensuite des sous-ensembles de biomarqueurs dans l'ensemble restant de mesures, soit au moyen d'une recherche non limitative, soit d'un procédé heuristique permettant de découvrir des biomarqueurs corrects mais pas nécessairement globalement optimum.

Title: Method of tuning a belt drive system
Inventor: LIU KEMING
IPC: F16H7/12
Filed: 2003-02-10
Abstract: This invention comprises a method of using tensioners (10, 20) to tune a belt drive system. A tensioner (10) having a damping rate is used on an accessory belt slack side and a tensioner (20) having a damping rate is used on an accessory belt tight side. Outside a predetermined engine speed range, the tight side tensioner arm does not move because the dynamic tension in the span is less than the tight side tensioner friction damping. Within a predetermined engine speed range the tight side tensioner arm moves in order to damp a belt drive system vibration.
