Inventor: RIVOALLON FREDERIC
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1997-12-17
Abstract: The regions are defined by the juxtaposition of
segments in the image, which are portions of lines. 
     During the line scan, the process increments,
and then allocates a label to each segment encountered
on the current line when this segment is not connected
to any segment of the preceding line; it allocates the
same label as that assigned to the segment of the
preceding line when it is connected to this segment; it
allocates the same label as that assigned to the first
of the segments of the preceding line to which it is
connected when it is connected to more than one segment
of the preceding line and in this last case, it stores
the relationship between the labels of the successive
segments connected to one and the same segment of the
current line. 
     The field is that of image processing.

IPC: F16L33/26
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: The method is for use with compensators and other flexible tubes (1) with end couplings (3) attached to them. The method involves winding a wire spiral round the end of the tube in the recesses between its corrugations and inside or outside its braided metal covering layer. The coupling is then fitted over the tube end and covering layer and fixed in place by welding it to the wire spiral. The procedure can be carried out, for example, with the aid of a robot manipulator.

Inventor: DOYLE PAUL C
IPC: H02P25/08
Filed: 1997-10-20
Abstract: A current measuring apparatus measures current flowing through a phase winding (14a) of a switched reluctance motor while dissipating very little power. The apparatus includes a control (44a) for controlling the current flowing through the winding (14a). A gate (64) is operatively connected to the control (44a) for switching the current flowing through the winding (14a). The arrangement is such that in a first mode of the gate (64), the current flows through the phase winding (14a). In a second mode of the gate (64), flow of the current through the winding (14a) is inhibited. The gate (64) includes a sense means for sensing a fraction of the current when the gate (64) is in the first mode thereof. A resistor (52) of relatively high resistance is electrically connected in series with the sense means such that a voltage drop occurs across the resistor (52) when the gate (64) is in the first mode. The voltage drop signal is fed back to the control (44a) so that dependent on the signal, the current flowing through the phase winding (14a) of the motor is maintained in order to maximize motor efficiency.

Title: Procede et dispositif de chiffrement appliques a un appareil photo

IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 1997-03-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de chiffrement appliqués à un appareil photo numérique (10), lesquels chiffrent une image au cours du processus d'acquisition, évitant tout état où existeraient des données d'image non chiffrées. Un mot de passe chiffré (70, 80) est soit produit par un utilisateur et transféré à l'appareil photo, soit émis par l'appareil photo et communiqué à l'utilisateur par affichage. Dans l'appareil photo, un générateur de chiffrement est initialisé lors de la réception et du déchiffrement réussi du mot de passe (82), laissant passer la lumière d'un objet à photographier pour qu'elle soit convertie en données d'image numériques (88). L'appareil photo accomplit alors une première opération (95) de chiffrement des données d'image numériques pour créer temporairement des données d'image chiffrées. Ces données chiffrées sont sauvegardées temporairement (96), jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient déchiffrées sous forme d'incréments (98), chaque incrément étant traité pour former des données d'image traitées. Chaque incrément subit ensuite une seconde et dernière opération de chiffrement pour créer des données d'image chiffrées finales qui sont stockées dans l'appareil photo pour être transmises à un ordinateur.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control device designed to simplify the use of a laboratory centrifuge, especially as regards the correct entering of data specific to the rotor, receptacle and substance mixture into the corresponding memory unit. The control panel (7) has a control switch (10) positioned below a display panel (9) configured for the visual display of at least part of the current operating parameters of the laboratory centrifuge, which control switch serves to set all operating parameters and control functions of the centrifuge. The control switch (10) is configured for at least two independent switching movements, notably a rotating movement about its axis and a sliding movement in the direction of said axis, whereby these two switching movements make it possible to operate a menu configuration showing the operating parameters and control functions relating to the operation of the centrifuge. The selection and modification of operating parameters and control functions are assigned to one switching movement and the confirmation of these selections and corresponding modifications is assigned to the other switching movement. The result is a control device which is easy and reliable to use and which in connection with a corresponding menu guide provides users with explanations about its functions and, in particular, immediately informs them about the success or failure of a switching function initiated via the control switch (10).

Abstract: Methods for purifying enzymes, in particular, acylases characterized by selectively aggregating and precipitating contaminating
enzymes, in particular, deacetylases with the use of surfactants, in particular, cationic surfactants; methods for regenerating immobilized
enzyme carriers, in particular, those made from synthetic absorbents or ion exchange resins by treating immobilized enzymes prepared by
bonding the enzymes to the carriers optionally followed by cross-linking with proteases; methods for regenerating carriers as described
above wherein the carriers are porous ones; and methods for regenerating carriers as described above wherein the enzyme is a cephalosporin
C acylase. By the above methods for purifying enzymes, contaminating enzymes which are undesirable for the target enzymes but cannot be
eliminated by the conventional separation techniques can be selectively eliminated. Thus, these methods are useful in the production of
highly pure enzyme specimens. Compared with the conventional methods, the above-mentioned methods for regenerating immobilized
enzyme carriers make it possible to very efficiently eliminate the enzymes from the carriers, in particular, porous ones through digestion with
proteases. Therefore, the carriers can be used repeatedly, which makes these methods useful from the viewpoints of the environment and
cost.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un dispositif conçu pour délivrer des codes sélectifs de commande de magnétoscope à des boîtiers de raccordement programmables (20) sur un système de communication (22) du type télévision par câble (CATV). Ledit dispositif comporte une tête de bus (12) conçue pour stocker et transmettre des informations codées de commande de magnétoscope aux boîtiers de raccordement ainsi qu'une pluralité de boîtiers de raccordement conçus pour recevoir lesdits codes de commande. Le système de télévision par câble délivre ces codes de commande de magnétoscope à des abonnés individuels au cours de l'intervalle de suppression vertical de l'un des canaux de diffusion ou sur un canal de données de commande. Chaque magnétoscope nécessite une procédure d'établissement pour déterminer l'ensemble approprié des codes de commande de magnétoscope. Lors de la détermination du type particulier de magnétoscope appartenant à l'abonné, les codes de commande de magnétoscope transmis par le système de télévision par câble sont stockés dans le boîtier de raccordement en mémoire non volatile. Etant donné que le boîtier de raccordement ne fait que stocker les codes de commande de magnétoscope pour un type unique de magnétoscope, les exigences au niveau mémoire sont minimisées.
