Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif utile pour l'acquisition de la forme 3D d'un objet (O), qui comporte un dispositif de caméra numérique monoculaire (fig. 9) ou stéréoscopique (fig. 8) éventuellement prévu avec un capteur (11) inertiel servant à indiquer la position et/ou l'orientation de la (des) caméra(s) par rapport à l'objet, afin de faciliter la dérivation d'informations 3D à partir d'images chevauchantes (dans le premier cas), ou la combinaison d'ensembles de données 3D (dans le second cas). Dans une variante employant une seule caméra qui peut être déplacée librement (fig. 10, 13, 14), le capteur inertiel est conçu ou utilisé seulement pour déterminer une rotation relative, et au moins le mouvement de translation de la caméra par rapport à l'objet (O, O') est déterminé par la recherche d'un réseau de points (a, b, c; a', b', c') dans l'image (I). Dans d'autres modes de réalisation (fig. 3, 4, 6), un processeur d'image utilise des lignes (EPa à EPd) épipolaires convergentes pour limiter une recherche de zones corrélées des images ou d'un motif fractal projeté (fig. 15, 15A) dont les zones corrélées (P, P') peuvent être identifiées à partir de leur topologie identique dans les deux images.

Abstract: A signal strength for received signal such as a radio signal transmitted over a wireless network is determined based on a large number of sample measurements of the received signal which may be taken over disjoint time intervals. Each sample is digitized so as to take on one of a discrete number of values, for example, 256 possible values for an 8-bit converter. The number of occurences  for each of the values is accumulated in bins (counters) and the indication of signal strength is determined by a summation of the measured values based on processing of the counts rather than the sample measurements themselves. The signal strength measurements are provided as monotonically related values, more particularly, logarithmic magnitude representations of the measured signal strength of each sample measurement. Bin counts are reduced iteratively by replacing counts greater than 1 by incrementing the count of a proportionately higher value bin until only counts of 1 or zero remain. These counts are then combined to provide only a single counter with a non-zero count value which indicates the accumulated signal strength of the signal strength measurements. The invention may further be provided using single bit memory elements and byte processing with look-up tables to provide even more efficient processing of the logarithmic signal strength measurements to reduce power consumption for battery powered devices such as cellular radiotelephones.

Abstract: A combustion engine is provided having a rotating drive shaft. A planetary gear set links a rotating chamber, keyed to the drive shaft, to turbomachinery within the chamber. Fluid is fed to the chamber through an axial passage in the drive shaft and is compressed by a number of mechanisms, including a set of combustion channels initially driven by the drive shaft and its starter motor. Bubbles within the fluid are subjected to high pressures causing combustion to occur within the bubbles. Additional pressure created by the combustion of the bubbles drives the fluid to exert a net torque on the drive shaft, thereby generating power.

Abstract: A miniature electromagnetic relay is capable of increasing the coil
packing density, yet assuring electrical insulation of the coil from a core
of the electromagnet. The relay includes a pair of movable and fixed
contacts, an armature carrying the movable contact, and an
electromagnet block having an excitation coil which moves the armature
for closing and opening the contacts upon being energized. The
electromagnet block includes a generally U-shaped core with a center
core and a pair of yokes extending from opposite ends of the center core,
flanges of dielectric material molded respectively around portions of the
yokes, and a dielectric tape fitted around the center core over
substantially the entire length of the center core to receive therearound
the excitation coil in an electrically insulating relation from the core.
Each of the flanges is formed integrally with an inward sleeve which
extends over a limited length along the center core in such a relation that
the dielectric tape overlaps the inward sleeves at opposite width ends of
the tape. Thus, the coil can be wound over the substantially full length
of the core and be successfully insulated from the core over the full
length thereof without requiring additional separate member.

Abstract: A forced-fusion fuse (4) has a casing (28), a heat generating
material (29) within the casing, a resistance wire (30) for inducing a heat
generation reaction to occur in the heat generating material (29), and
a fusion member that is fused by the generation of heat from the
heat generating material. When some damage or other has been
caused to a wire harness or there is the fear that an impairment
will occur therein as when the wire harness has been slight
short-circuited, some abnormality or other has occurred in a load
connected to the wire harness, or an automobile has collided with
another automobile, the sensor unit senses this to thereby output
an abnormality detection signal. A controller, upon receipt of
the abnormality detection signal, causes the generation of heat
in the resistance wire (30) of the forced-fusion fuse. A heat
generation reaction is induced, by the generation of heat in the
resistance wire, to occur in the heat generating material, whereby
the fusion member is fused by the heat generated from the heat
generating material.

Abstract: A multifunction peripheral server discovery method with
reduced network traffic. Peripheral servers (10) on a
network (14) advertise their basic function, such as a
print, and clients (12) seeking peripherals with an
additional function, such as scan, retrieve ID strings of
peripherals having the basic function to determine if the
additional function is available. The method also permits a
user of a client (12) on the network (14) to enter addresses
of peripherals not discovered when the client searches for
peripherals having the additional function. The method also
permits selection of a network protocol to be used by the
client (12). An additional preferred step in the method is a
determination of whether discovered peripherals having the
additional function are compatible with a software
application run by the client (12).

Abstract: Automatic region selection logic (110) allows the automatic identification of
regions of interest (152) within an image (150) to be scanned based upon the color
(155, 157) of the region of interest (152). A user of a scanner (11) indicates a region
(152), or regions, of interest on an image (150) to be scanned by highlighting (155,
157) the particular region of interest (152) using any device that imparts to the region
of interest (152) a color that does not appear elsewhere on the image (150) to be
scanned. The automatic region selection logic (110) recognizes the region of interest
(152) by, for example, its saturation and hue values and presents the selected region
(152) to the user through a display (19). Multiple region types may be indicated on
the same document (150) by using different colors to distinguish between the different
types of regions of interest.
