Abstract: Selon l'invention, un canal est introduit dans une séquence de trames d'image par modification d'une ou plusieurs caractéristiques d'affichage de l'image à travers un affichage, conformément à un motif spatio-temporel appliqué à des lignes successives de chaque trame modifiée, en vue de filigraner l'image. Des trames B sont, de préférence, modifiées si l'image est codée par MPEG. Le composant de couleur bleue du signal vidéo peut être modifié au moyen d'informations de filigrane et de son complément en rotations en opposition de phase de lignes successives de paires de trames. Une modification a lieu dans des régions relativement immobiles possédant un niveau suffisant de luminosité bleue. Un détecteur de filigrane comprend des informations a priori concernant le filigrane et examine des régions (immobiles) spécifiques de l'image pendant une certaine période, pouvant renfermer le filigrane. La différence en valeurs de pixel est calculée, aux fins de détection, dans les régions immobiles, entre la trame test reçue et soit a) la trame d'image non modifiée ou b) la trame successive d'une paire.

Abstract: Techniques to process data for transmission over multiple transmission channels. The available transmission channels are segregated into one or more groups, and the channels in each group are selected for use for data transmission. Data for each group is coded and modulated based on a particular coding and modulation scheme to provide modulation symbols, and the modulation symbols for each selected channel are weighted based on an assigned weight. The weighting "inverts" the selected channels such that they achieve similar received SNRs. With selective channel inversion, only "good" channels in each group having SNRs at or above a particular threshold are selected, "bad" channels are not used, and the total available transmit power for the group is distributed across the good channels in the group. Improved performance is achieved by using only good channels in each group and matching each selected channel's received SNR to the required SNR.

Abstract: A method of sealing the open mouths of an array of test tubes comprises providing a plurality of plugs with upwardly facing recesses, and a flexible carrier sheet having the same array of mutually spaced downwardly projecting pegs inserted into and frictionally retained within the recesses of respective ones of the plugs. Sealing is effected by aligning the plugs with the open mouths of the test tubes, pressing the carrier sheet towards the test tubes to seat the plugs in the open tube mouths, and peeling the carrier sheet away from the test tubes to extract the pegs from the plug recesses while allowing the plugs to remain seated in the tube mouths.

Abstract: In a communication system (100), a method and an accompanying apparatus provide for acknowledging reception of a packet of data. A receiver (400) at a serving base station (101) receives a message on an acknowledgement channel (340) for indicating the reception of the packet of data at a mobile station (102), and may determine an erasure of the message. A non-serving base station (160) may also receive the message on the acknowledgement channel (340) from the mobile station (102), determines a value of the message, and communicates the value of the message to the serving base station (101). The serving base station (101) changes the erasure to the value of the message, and terminates a transmission of a remainder of data units of the packet of data to the mobile station (102) when the value of the message is a positive acknowledgment from the non-serving base station (160).

Abstract: Provided is a similarity search method that makes use of a localized distance metric. The data includes a collection of items, wherein each item is associated with a set of properties. The distance between two items is defined in terms of the number of items in the collection that are associated with the set of properties common to the two items. A query is generally composed of a set of properties. The distance between a query and an item is defined in terms of the number of items in the collection that are associated with the set of properties common to the query and the item. The properties can be of various types, such as binary, partially ordered, or numeric. The distance metric may be applied explicitly or implicitly for similarity search. One embodiment of this invention uses random walks such that the similarity search can be performed exactly or approximately, trading-off between accuracy and performance. The distance metric of the present invention can also be the basis for matching and clustering applications. In these contexts, the distance metric of the present invention may be used to build a graph, to which matching or clustering algorithms can be applied.

Abstract: An apical foramen locator that a dental or medical practitioner can use to quickly and accurately identify the location of a patient's apical foramen during a dental/medical procedure is provided. The apical foramen locator determines the location of the apical foramen relative to a tool inserted into the patient's tooth by sensing an impedance - typically the voltage across two electrodes - and a stimulus voltage, and retrieving from an impedance map apical foramen location data that corresponds to the sensed impedance. The apical foramen locator can include a power circuit operable to apply a stimulus voltage across two electrodes and a reference resistor, an impedance-sensing circuit operable to read the stimulus voltage, a first voltage across the electrodes and a second voltage across the reference resistor and a processing component operable to derive first and second voltage indices from the stimulus, first and second voltages. At least one impedance map is generated using the apical foramen locator on reference teeth and can be stored in a memory used by the processing component. <IMAGE>
