Abstract: Selon cette invention, un réseau informatique étendu tel qu'un réseau mondial permet de commander des cartes de voeux auprès de plusieurs terminaux distants donc chacun comprend un moniteur et un sélecteur. Lorsque l'accès au serveur central se fait à partir de terminaux distants, les options sélectionnables depuis les terminaux accédant au serveur sont affichées sur les moniteurs des terminaux; elles comprennent l'image de la carte de voeux, un message, des éléments personnalisés de la carte, l'adresse du destinataire, le mode de paiement, une carte-prime et des options similaires. En réponse aux choix opérés depuis le terminal accédant au serveur, plusieurs cartes de voeux multicolores comportant des graphismes et du texte sont imprimées au bureau central de production d'images; ces cartes de voeux sont ensuite envoyées physiquement (p.ex., par la poste) aux adresses correspondantes des destinataires sélectionnés. On produit la carte de voeux et la carte-prime qui l'accompagne au moyen d'une bande ou d'une feuille de papier continue, en fusionnant des modèles variables avec des données de texte variables et des images graphiques détachées, et ce dans le cadre d'un processus continu au cours duquel les mises en page, les images graphiques et les textes changent d'une carte à l'autre de façon indépendante à mesure que plusieurs cartes sont produites séquentiellement lors d'un seul et même processus continu. Les cartes de voeux peuvent être en papier ou en plastique, elles peuvent être personnalisées et/ou comporter une bande magnétique et des informations/données codées au moyen d'une technologie HF, une des faces de la carte ou les deux étant généralement laminées dans du plastique transparent.

Title: Phase determination of a radiation wave field
Inventor: BARTY ANTON
IPC: G06T5/10
Filed: 1999-11-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for quantitative de-termination of the phase of a radiation wave field is disclosed. A representative measure of the rate of change of intensity of the radiation wave field over a selected surface extending generally across the wave field is transformed to produce a first integral transform representation. A first filter is applied to the first integral transform representa-tion corresponding to the inversion of a first dif-ferential operator reflected in the measure of rate of change of intensity to produce a first modified integral transform representation. An inverse of the first integral transform is applied to the first modified integral transform representation to pro-duce an untransformed representation. The un-transformed representation is corrected based on a measure of intensity over said selected surface and again transformed to produce a second integral transform representation. A second filter is applied to the second integral transform representation cor-responding to the inversion of a second differential operator reflected in the corrected untransformed representation to produce a second modified inte-gral transform representation. An inverse of the second integral transform is applied to the second modified integral transform representation to pro-duce a measure of phase of the radiation wave field across the selected plane.
