Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé pour commander une installation d'énergie éolienne et une installation d'énergie éolienne, permettant notamment de mettre en oeuvre ledit procédé. Les installations d'énergie éolienne sont bien connues de tous depuis longtemps et sont, ces derniers temps, de plus en plus utilisées comme système de production d'énergie écologique. Cependant, la nature fait que ces installations sont exposées aux conditions météorologiques et l'humidité est un des principaux problèmes posés pour ces installations d'énergie éolienne. Les installations d'énergie éolienne et leurs systèmes électriques doivent donc être protégés de cette humidité dans une large mesure. L'objectif de la présente invention est de supprimer ce risque induit par l'humidité. A cette fin, le procédé pour commander une installation d'énergie éolienne selon cette invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à détecter la température de la génératrice et la température de l'air aux alentours de l'installation d'énergie éolienne, à déterminer la différence de température, puis à chauffer la génératrice lorsque sa température est inférieure à la température de l'air ambiant.

Abstract: Software loading is effected by means of a header 40 and software modules STUB 1 , STUB 2 etc. The header 40 calls each stub in appropriate order, installing the stub in a loader region 42 , executing the stub and then removing it. The STUBS may be encrypted and may be installed at random or pseudo-random locations in the region 42 . Generic breaches of security, such as "riding the loader" are prevented because the stubs appear only transiently and at unpredictable positions. Security may be further improved by selecting each stub from a group of alternatives which are differently coded but functionally equivalent.

Abstract: A retouching method for enhancing an appearance of a face located in a digital image involves acquiring a digital image containing one or more faces and detecting a location of facial feature points in the faces, where the facial feature points include points identifying salient features such as skin, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and hair. The location of the facial feature points are used to segment the face into different regions such as skin, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, neck and hair regions. Facially relevant characteristics of the different regions are determined and, based on these facially relevant characteristics, an ensemble of enhancement filters are selected, each customized especially for a particular region, and the default parameters for the enhancement filters are selected. The enhancement filters are then executed on the particular regions, thereby producing an enhanced digital image from the digital image. <IMAGE>
