Abstract: A method for detecting objects in a digital image includes the steps
of generating a first segmentation map of the digital image according to a non-object
specific criterion, generating a second segmentation map of the digital
image according to an object specific criterion, and detecting objects in the digital
image using both the first and second segmentation maps. In a preferred
embodiment of the invention, the non-object specific criterion is a color
homogeneity criterion and the object specific criterion is an object specific color
similarity, wherein the object specific color is skin color and the method further
comprises the step of detecting red-eye in the detected skin color regions.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: Material selection systems and methods for quickly identifying which existing
material best matches a desired set of properties are described so that product
development time can be minimized. Users may input the properties they desire in a
material (10), which properties they want searched and scored (20, 30), the acceptable
values of those properties (40), and a priority value for each property (50).
Preliminary matching materials may be retrieved from a materials database (70), and
an index value for each property value may be calculated (80). One of four fuzzy
membership functions may then be utilized to calculate a scored property value for
each property of each material (90). The scored property value may then be weighted
(100) to account for the priority value assigned to each property (110). The results
may then be sorted in descending order based on their overall match scores (120), and
output to the user (130) so the best matching material(s) is readily identifiable by the
user.

Title: Procede de preparation d'une structure polymere poreuse
Inventor: GRIJPMA DIRK WYBE
IPC: C08J9/26
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'une structure polymère poreuse. Un polymère est dissous dans un premier liquide ou le polymère est amené en phase liquide. Des particules insolubles dans le premier liquide sont ajoutées à la solution, de telle manière qu'en résulte une suspension ou une dispersion. Cette suspension ou dispersion est alors transférée dans un excès de second liquide, dans lequel le polymère et les particules sont insolubles. Ledit second liquide est mélangé vigoureusement et ceci débouche sur un précipité du polymère, dans lequel les particules sont encapsulées. Ce précipité est ensuite isolé, coupé en granules et séché. Ces granules peuvent être traitées de deux manières. Dans le premier procédé, les granules sont transférées dans un troisième liquide, dans lequel le polymère ne se dissout pas, mais dans lequel les particules se dissolvent. Ces particules encapsulées sont lixiviées hors du polymère, les granules poreuses qui en résultent peuvent ensuite être traitées. Dans le second procédé, les granules sont traitées thermiquement et moulées. Ledit polymère moulé, dans lequel les particules sont encapsulées, est disposé dans un quatrième liquide, dans lequel le polymère ne se dissout pas, mais dans lequel les particules se dissolvent. Ces particules encapsulées sont lixiviées du polymère moulé, ce qui aboutit sur un polymère moulé poreux qui peut ensuite être traité.

Abstract: The invention is based on the idea to maintain two counters for an input or output port of a FIFO. A device for writing data elements from a coprocessor into a FIFO memory is provided. Said device is embedded in a multiprocessing environment comprising at least one coprocessor, a FIFO memory and a controller. Said device comprises a first counter for counting the available room in said FIFO memory, and a second counter for counting the number of data elements written into said FIFO memory. Said device further comprises a control means for checking said first counter for available room in said FIFO memory, and for checking said second counter whethera predetermined number N of data elements have been written into said FIFO memory. Said control means decrements the count of said first counter and increments the count of said second counter, after a data element has been written into said FIFO memory. Said device finally comprises an output means for outputting data elements to said FIFO memory. Said control means issues a first message when the count of said second counter has reached said predetermined number N and issues a first call for available room in said FIFO memory to said controller. Said output means forwards said first message and/or said first call to said controller.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of structural biology and relates to a process to compare various three-dimensional (3D) structures and to identify functional similarities among them. The process of comparison of 3D atomic structures of the invention is based on the comparisons of defined chemical groups onto the 3D atomic structures and allows the detection of local similarities even when neither the fold nor sequence for example aminoacid sequences for polypeptides sequences or nucleotide sequences for nucleic acid sequences are conserved. This process requires the attribution of selected physico-chemical parameters to each atom of a 3D atomic structure, then the representation of each 3D atomic structure by a graph of chemical groups.

Abstract: A composition and method for controlling host response to organ and/or tissue transplantation and grafting. Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone protects organ and tissue transplantation by controlling factors within the donor, host and of the organ or tissue to be transplanted. Treatment with a-MSH and/or its derivatives can affect warm and cold ischemia times and thus promotes organ viability. Treatment of the donor, host and of the organ or tissue to be transplanted with an appropriate dosage of a-MSH and/or its derivatives limits biochemical pathways that would normally work to reject an organ and/or tissue transplantation. α-MSHaugments successful graft transplantation whether it be allograft or xenograft.

Both compositions have been confirmed in experiments to conduct Ag+ and H+ ions, as well. The present invention also includes a solid proton conductor that can be formed from the electrolytic perovskite by replacing the ions located therein with protons. The electrolytic perovskite and solid proton conductor can be used in a wide variety of applications or devices including, for example, a fuel cell, a membrane reactor, an amperometric hydrocarbon sensor or a steam electrolysis application.

Abstract: A data model for accessing data in a relational database in an OLAP system utilizes a multiple-hierarchy dimension. The dimension includes a set of attributes. Each attribute is bound to a column in the relational database. A logical structure is defined, indicating the relationships between the attributes. Hierarchies are defined. Each hierarchy includes a sequence of attributes. A hierarchy provides a common drill-down path that a database user can utilize to access the database. A hierarchy can include a single attribute or a combination of attributes. Both the relationships between the attributes and the sequence of attributes in a hierarchy are defined independent of any restrictions associated with the database.
