Patent FR-2737930-A1 (FR)
Title: Automatic recognition of manuscript characters
Inventor: CHARPENTIER DIDIER
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1995-08-18
Abstract: The recognition involves reading specific zones on a document to extract a character written there. Each zone for hand-written characters is identified by having a particular background. When a character is read, the parameters of the background of the zone are identified to verify the zone. The background pattern is then removed from the image, leaving only the hand-written character. The background image is set up with a gradient of increasing density from left to right, and the gradient extracted to use as a threshold value for extraction of the character from against the background. The character image is tested against a threshold and the results integrated with a Riemann integral.

Flexible sleeves (8) can be threaded onto the arms.
Patent FR-2742876-A1 (FR)
Inventor: SAUVAGEOT HENRI
IPC: G01S13/95
Filed: 1995-12-26
Abstract: The process comprises determining from signals received on the two polarisation channels H and V of the radar, first on a single polarisation, an estimation of the precipitation ratios <o>R</o>a (19, 30-32) along the radar beam, in each door by distance i, then a first estimated value (<o>I</o>1) of the integral of precipitation ratios, and finally from the attenuated reflectivity coefficient (ZHa(r)) an estimation (35-38, 47, 48) of the non attenuated differential reflectivity coefficient (ZDRs(r)). Additionally, the measured value of the attenuated differential reflectivity coefficient (ZDRs(r)) is determined (30, 40-42) and the integral (<o>I</o>2) is deduced (43, 44) from the precipitation ratios and compared (45, 46) to the first estimated value (<o>I</o>1) so as to iteratively adjust a parameter ( alpha ) of the process applied to the polarisation H alone. When  alpha  is adjusted, the corrected values of the non attenuated reflectivity coefficient and of the precipitation ratio are obtained (38, 47). The invention applies to meteorological radars.

Title: Montage de frein muni d'une soupape de decharge
Inventor: HILL JOHN H
IPC: F16D55/00
Filed: 1996-04-24
Abstract: Un montage de frein (10), muni d'une pluralité de disques tournants et non tournants (22, 24) fonctionnant ensemble, comprend un mécanisme de soupape de décharge (20) comprenant une soupape à tambour (40). La soupape à tambour (40) est adaptée à se déplacer entre des première et deuxième positions (44, 46) pour ouvrir et fermer les communications de fluide entre un passage d'alimentation en fluide (26) et un passage de décharge de fluide (28).

Title: Optical reader for data stored on optical disc
Inventor: CHOI YANG OH
IPC: G11B7/1372
Filed: 1997-12-26
Abstract: The optical reader has mechanism for producing a beam of light, and an optical device for partial transmission of the beam onto the optical disc.  A lens (230) is provided to focus a beam of light from an optical source onto the surface of the optical disc (240) and also to cause convergence of the beam of light reflected from the disc surface onto a reflecting surface (224).
