Abstract: A method for distributing unique identifiers in a telecommunication network comprising at least one hierarchical decision server, e.g. local DHCP server (DHCP2, DHCP3), coupled to an external/ centralized application or External Notification Point (ENP). The hierarchical decision server uses identifiers comprising at least a local_IP-address and a realm_identifier, and the method comprises the steps of the hierarchical decision server sending a proposed_local_IP-address and a proposed_realm_identifier to a Realm Distribution Server or External Decision Point (EDP) coupled to the hierarchical decision server and to the external/centralized application, the Realm Distribution Server verifying, and altering if needed, the proposed_local_IP-address and the proposed_realm_identifier, and the Realm Distribution Server returning to the hierarchical decision server an assigned_local_IP-address and an assigned_realm_identifier. The hierarchical decision server (DHCP2) may also send a bind notification and indicate to the External Decision Point (EDP) that it acts not only as a hierarchical decision server but also as a hierarchical notification server. However, in a preferred embodiment, the External Decision Point sends a bind notification and acts as a notification server.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un compresseur linéaire (1) qui comprend un boîtier de piston (2) dans lequel un piston de compresseur (4) peut se déplacer en va-et-vient le long d'un axe (3). Le piston (4) du compresseur est relié par une tige (5) à un entraînement (6) de déplacement en va-et-vient et la tige (5) présente un ressort précontraint (7). L'invention concerne également une machine frigorifique et un procédé de refroidissement ou de congélation de produits (15) qui comprennent un compresseur linéaire (1) selon l'invention. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que grâce au mode de construction du ressort précontraint, on peut obtenir un très bon rapport entre la rigidité axiale et la rigidité transversale de l'accouplement entre l'entraînement (6) et le piston (4) du compresseur et que l'on peut ainsi utiliser un seul et même composant pour différents compresseurs linéaires qui présentent différents niveaux de puissance. Non seulement cela réduit le nombre de variantes de la tige de piston mais également le nombre des pièces de fixation du piston et de l'entraînement.

Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé et un nouveau dispositif servant à réduire la taille de hauts-parleurs en cloisonnant la cavité arrière du haut-parleur au moyen d'un bloc d'éponge acoustique. Le bloc d'éponge acoustique est formé d'un réseau de conduits étroits (par exemple, de conduits parallèles ou de cylindres ronds parallèles de petit diamètre) en matériau présélectionné à dimensions prédéterminées (diamètre et longueur, par exemple), qui sont réalisés à l'intérieur d'un bloc unique qui est placé derrière la membrane du haut-parleur mais qui n'est pas en contact direct avec elle. Le bloc d'éponge acoustique comprenant la multitude de conduits très étroits ayant, par exemple, un diamètre de l'ordre du micromètre absorbe en grande partie les ondes sonores renvoyées vers l'arrière par la face arrière de la membrane en raison de la chute significative de l'impédance pour des diamètres de tube très étroits.

Abstract: A hairstyle simulation image is formed by combining a face image and a hair image such that a hair image of any hairstyle can be simply combined with the face image without impairing the naturalness of the fitted face and hair images, irrespective of whether or not a part of the face is covered with the hair. The hairstyle simulation image formed by combining the face and hair images is formed as follows. First, two eyes in the face image are detected, and a semi-oval shaped curve L0 is formed based on a facial width D0 and a line passing through the eyes (an eye line L1). The facial width D0 is obtained by multiplying the distance between the eyes by a predetermined multiplier, and the semi-oval shaped curve L0 serves as a temporary facial outline. By moving the semi-oval shaped curve L0 in the right and left directions on the face image, the left and right edges Pb and Pc of the facial outline of the face image are detected based on the degree of overlap between the semi-oval shaped curve L0 and an edge line La of the jaw portion of the face image. The left and right edges Pb and Pc of the outline of the hair image are also detected as in the above. The widths D1 f  and D1 h  between the left and right edges Pb and Pc of the facial outlines of the face and hair images, respectively, are adjusted to the same width, and then the face and hair images are combined with each other.
