Title: Creation of a linear or planar shape
Inventor: FUNK WOLFGANG
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2007-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for embossing a watermark into a model of a linear or planar shape, especially a non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) model. Said model comprises a plurality of splines, the combination of which forms the shape. Control points (P) are assigned to the splines such that a course of the respectively associated spline can be modified and thus be controlled by changing the position of the control points (P) and/or weights of the control points. Furthermore, nodes which are located in a section of the shape that is formed by the respectively associated spline are allocated to the splines. In order to change the shape (the modified curve runs through point Cmod) when a watermark is embossed into the model, the position of at least one control point is modified, the weight by which a control point affects the shape and thus influences at least one area of the shape is modified, and/or an additional control point is inserted into the model. At least one additional node is inserted into the model (new node at u = 1.1875 on the modified curve) in order to obtain information on how the change of the shape can be reversed.

Title: Retinal regeneration
Inventor: MARSHALL JOHN
IPC: A61F9/008
Filed: 2007-10-25
Abstract: A method of retinal regeneration which improves retinal function by reversal of the degradation of the transport properties of Bruch's membrane. The method involves irradiation through the cornea of the eye to the retinal pigmented epithelium by a laser pulse or sequence of laser pulses having a pulse duration in the range of 10ps to 20µs and at a wavelength in the range of about 500nm to 900nm. The method applies a radiant exposure which results in the damaging or altering of the retinal pigmented epithelium cells in such a manner as to trigger cellular responses which improve the hydraulic conductivity of Bruch's membrane without causing irreversible damage to adjacent retinal structures and layers.
Patent CA-2667820-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIM BING YING MIRANDA
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2009-05-29
Abstract: A mobile terminal is adapted to operate in a WLAN and a WWAN. The mobile terminal performs communication operations using its WLAN transceiver portion for maintaining a voice or data call via a wireless AP of the WLAN. During this time, the mobile terminal identifies a RSSI value and a SNR value of an RF signal of the wireless AP. If the RSSI value is less than a predetermined RSSI value, and the SNR value is less than a predetermined SNR value, then the mobile terminal provides an indication to switch the communication operations from the WLAN to the WWAN. However, if the RSSI value is less than the predetermined RSSI value, but the SNR value is greater than the predetermined SNR value, the mobile terminal provides an indication to maintain the communication operations in the WLAN. In a concurrent process, the mobile terminal determines a transmission error value for data packet transmissions based on a count of data packet .errors identified over a predetermined time period. A data packet error may be identified by identifying a complete failure to transmit the data packet or a reduced data transmission rate for the transmission. An increased count or multiplier may be included for each data packet error that is associated with a complete failure or a low data transmission rate. The increased count or multiplier may vary depending on severity. A transmission error percentage value is calculated based on the transmission error value and the total number of attempted data packet transmissions over the predetermined time period. If the transmission error percentage value is greater than a predetermined percent error value, the mobile terminal provides the indication to switch the communication operations from the WLAN to the WWAN.

Abstract: An ordered set of physical points, each comprising a nominal point and an associated allowable deviation, is approximated by a sequence of geometric elements determined by a method of intersecting polytopes in a parametric space. A first bundle of geometric elements connecting a first subgroup of physical points is generated and mapped to a first polytope. A second bundle of geometric elements connecting a second subgroup of physical points is generated and mapped to a second polytope. If the intersection between the first polytope and the second polytope is not null, the points in the intersection region correspond to geometric elements which approximate the physical points in the combined two subgroups. The process is repeated iteratively for additional subgroups. The center point of the final intersection region corresponds to an approximate best-fit geometric element.
