Patent EP-1031850-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ASHIHARA JUN
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: The radar apparatus of the present invention comprises a beam transmitter
(10a∼10d and 30) for radiating a radar beam, a beam receiver (10a∼10d and 40) for
receiving a reflected signal, a processor (50) for calculating the position of the object, and
a malfunction detecting device (51a) for detecting a malfunction of the radar apparatus.
At least one of the area irradiated by the beam transmitter and a receiving area of the beam
receiver overlaps with a movable area of a wiper blade (72a) of the wiper device, and the
malfunction detecting device (51a) estimates that the radar apparatus is malfunctioning if
a wiper passing signal to be detected does not appear in an output signal of the processor
(50) while a wiper movement detecting device (57) detects that the wiper device is
activated.

Patent EP-1174669-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DENIS OLIVIER
IPC: A21D8/02
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: To chill the water supplies for use in the foodstuff industry, it is constantly recirculated without storage and without contact with the ambient air. The water temperature is reduced in at least two stages, from an initial temperature level (T0) to a value close to 1 degrees C. This gives a cold water supply which is not contaminated, at the point of use. To chill the water supplies for foodstuff production, the initial temperature level is lowered in two stages to an intermediate level (T1) of a few degrees C and then to the final temperature (T2) close to 1 degrees C. The recirculating water is passed through a heat exchanger to reduce its temperature to the intermediate level. It then flows through a second heat exchanger to lower the temperature still further to the value for use. The recirculating water is replenished as supplies are drawn off. An Independent claim is included for a water chilling assembly with an inlet (12) connected to the water supply and an outlet (13) to the user machine. The continuous water flow is chilled in two stages (2, 3). Preferred Features: The two water cooling stages are heat exchangers, to bring the initial temperature to an intermediate level, and then reduce the temperature further to the required level for use. The connection to the water supply is sealed, to prevent contact with the ambient air. A water purification stage is between the entry into the heat exchangers and the water supply system. The leading heat exchanger has a higher capacity than the second heat exchanger.

Abstract: The method applies to non-volatile semiconductor
memories with cells arranged in rows and in columns, in
which each cell has a first terminal (CG), a second
terminal (D), and a third terminal (S) connected,
respectively, to a row line (WLi), to a column line
(BLi), and to a common node by respective connection
strips (CG, R). In order to form connections with low
resistivity and consequently to save semiconductor area,
the method provides for the formation of an oxide layer
(I2) which covers the connection strips of the first
terminals (CG) and of the third terminals (S), the
formation of channels (CH1, CH2) along the connection
strips until the surfaces thereof are exposed, and the
filling of the channels (CH1, CH2) with a material (W)
having a resistivity lower than that of the connection
strips.

Abstract: In order to protect the contents of an electronic document
through an encryption system based on an initial confusing
step in a scrambler and a subsequent diffusion step in a
chaotic processor, both steps being of a chaotic type,
initially (51) encryption keys (c j ) and an initial chaotic
value (X 0 ) are acquired; input character strings (IN) are
acquired (53); diffused character strings (s(t)) are
calculated (54) using the input character strings, the
encryption keys (C j ), and previous diffused character strings
(s(t-j)). After a certain number of iterations, sets of
diffused character strings (S j ) are added (63) to subsequent
chaotic values (X) generated by a chaotic processor (61) to
obtain encrypted words (X CR ). Decryption is obtained through
two successive operations, wherein the encrypted words are
added to chaotic values identical to the encryption values
(X) and subtracted from previously decrypted words using an
unscrambler element having a structure similar to that of
the scrambler and using identical encryption keys.

Abstract: A digital video processing method and an apparatus thereof are provided. The method for processing digital images received in the form of compressed video streams comprising the step of determining a region intensity histogram (RIH) based on information on motion compensation of inter frames. The RIH information is obtained based on the motion compensation values of inter frames, and the RIH information is a good indicator of motion information of a video scene. Also, since the RIH information is quite a good indictor of intensity of the video scene, video streams having similar intensities can be effectively searched by searching for similar video scenes based on the RIH information obtained by the digital video processing method.
