Patent EP-1340556-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ZAFIROPULOS VASSILIS
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for removal of any kind of
superficial encrustation from surfaces, by the synchronous use of the fundamental and
one of the harmonic frequencies of a short-pulse laser system (in the order of 1- 40
ns). This is embodied by temporal and spatial overlapping of the two beams in various
ratios of energy density values between them. The present invention relates to a
problem of major concern, related to the cleaning of stone-sculpted surfaces of
historic and/or artistic value without any alteration to the underlying authentic
surfaces. The invention can be employed in other materials such as façades, metallic
surfaces, glass, paper, wood etc. as well as in other applications of industrial or
medical interest, such as the removal of radioactive residues from any type of surfaces
or the removal of deposits from any kind of animal tissues. The success of this method
is based on the combined action of two discrete mechanisms for the removal of
surface deposits, embodied by the use of laser pulses of two different wavelengths
simultaneously. The suggested device is based on the spatial and temporal
overlapping of the fundamental frequency with one of its harmonics, as well as the
possibility to adjust the energy of each one of the two radiations individually.

Abstract: First of all, size data (MD), (BD), (BH) and (MW) of a tire are input. Next, a ratio (b/a) of a major axis radius (b) to a minor axis radius (a) of an ellipse (18) is input. Then, constants (S), (a) and (b) of an involute function are calculated. Based on the involute function having these constants, a profile function (22) from a central position in a lateral direction to a maximum width position is determined over an X-Y plane. Subsequently, the profile curve (22) is divided into a large number of segments. Next, each of the segments is caused to approximate to a circular arc. In the approximation, a radius of curvature is determined in such a manner that the adjacent circular arcs are tangent to each other. Thus, a profile is designed.

Abstract: The invention is related to methods and apparatus that provide improved video encoding. Conventional video encoding techniques inadequately determine the encoding mode for a macroblock. One embodiment according to the invention advantageously includes the coding cost for motion vectors into the mode decision, thereby enhancing the quality of the selection of the mode. One embodiment further uses an L1 norm in the decision, thereby advantageously reducing the computational complexity of taking the coding cost for motion vectors into the mode decision.

Abstract: A pulser ring and a second seal ring are separately
formed. When a multipolar magnetic rotor of the pulser
ring is bonded to an outer circumferential face of an
outer cylindrical portion of an annular core portion, the
multipolar magnetic rotor is opposed to a magnetic sensor
in the radial direction. Due to the above structure, the
multipolar magnetic rotor can be strongly supported by an
outer cylindrical portion of the annular core portion.
Therefore, even when a rotary centrifugal force is given
to the multipolar magnetic rotor, it can not be swung in
the radial direction. Accordingly, an interval of the
multipolar magnetic rotor and the magnetic sensor in the
radial direction, which are opposed to each other, can be
maintained constant irrespective of an intensity of the
centrifugal force.

A despreading section (141) despreads the digital base band data to convert it into symbol data. An RSCP measuring section (142) converts the symbol data into power and measures an RSCP value. An RSCP threshold value judging section (143) compares the measured RSCP value with a preset RSCP threshold value and judges from a result of the comparison whether or not a base station is present. A frequency setting section (144) determines a next search frequency value according to a result of the judgment of the RSCP threshold value judging section. A synthesizer (122) of the radio section produces local data according to frequency data sent from the frequency setting section.

Abstract: A system and method enable automatic importation of data from an external data source into an electronic workspace in the form of a visual hierarchy. To display data from a data source, data is retrieved from the external data source, and a visual presentation format for the data is created based on characteristics of the data (e.g., the field to which the data is assigned in the data source, the type of data, the value of the data, etc), where the visual presentation format is hierarchical. The data is then displayed in an electronic workspace in the form of visual hierarchy that is accordance with such visual presentation format. In the electronic workspace, a user can manipulate and supplement the data without affecting the data source, unless there is a trigger event that causes modifications to the data to be written back to the data source. 
     A further embodiment of the present invention enables modifications to the data in the workspace to be written back to the data source upon the occurrence of one or more select events. When such an event occurs, rules, which are essentially the inverse of the rules applied to create the visual presentation format, are used to convert the visual presentation format back to the data source format. The modified data is then written back to the data source.
