Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un dispositif de support pour une partie du corps humain, qui comprend une superstructure définissant une surface de support en contact avec la partie du corps à soutenir, ainsi que des éléments de mesure prévus sur ladite superstructure pour mesurer périodiquement un paramètre biomécanique prédéterminé de la partie du corps en question, afin de déterminer une répartition de charge sur ladite partie. Ces éléments de mesure sont constitués par un réservoir rempli d'un fluide, placé au niveau de la surface de support, et par un détecteur de pression qui coopère avec le fluide contenu dans le réservoir pour contrôler les changements de pression dudit fluide, dus par exemple à la variation des charges produites par l'activité physique du sujet. Des circuits de commande sont couplés activement au détecteur de pression, pour contrôler et caractériser les changements de pression du fluide dans le temps. Des éléments de commande de forme sont disposés sur la superstructure du dispositif et sont connectés activement aux éléments de mesure, pour soumettre automatiquement la surface de support, en réponse à la répartition de charges déterminée, à des forces qui tendent à modifier le contour de ladite surface de support. Ces éléments de commande de forme peuvent contenir une source de pressurisation destinée à modifier une pression de base du fluide contenu dans le réservoir. Lesdits circuits de commande servent également à commander ou à actionner les éléments de commande de forme, afin de modifier périodiquement les forces qui s'exercent sur le contour de la surface de support du dispositif, de façon à exercer un massage cyclique sur la partie du corps ainsi soutenue.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reshaping up a cone-like electrode (3) which is made of a refractory metal containing silicon. The method comprises the following steps. A surface of the cone-like electrode (3) is subjected to an oxidation of silicon which is contained in the refractory metal. The oxidation is generated at rates which increase toward a top portion of the cone-like electrode. As a result, a silicon oxide film (9) is formed, which coats the cone-like electrode (3). The silicon oxide film (9) has thickness which gradually increase toward a bottom portion of the cone-like electrode (3). An interface between the silicon oxide film (9) and the cone-like electrode (3) has sloped angles which increase toward the top portion. The silicon oxide film (9) is removed to thereby expose a reshaped cone electrode (3) which has a sharply pointed top. The reshaped cone electrode (3) has a surface having sloped angles which increase toward the sharply pointed top.

Abstract: When encoding software, two or more encoding algorithms are employed. Conversely, for software decoding processing, decoding algorithms are prepared that correspond to these two or more encoding algorithms. Then, in software encoding processing, encoded algorithm combination information is transferred to the software decoding processing along with the encoded software. During software decoding processing, opposite algorithms possessed by the decoding means are selected based on the previously mentioned algorithm combination information, and the previously mentioned encoded software is decoded.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for representing knowledge about entities is disclosed. A functional taxonomy is defined which includes at least one entity and at least one property associated with each entity. A structural taxonomy is also defined which includes at least one entity and at least one property associated with each entity, wherein at least one structural taxonomy entity is defined in terms of at least one functional taxonomy entity. At least a portion of the functional taxonomy and at least a portion of the structural taxonomy is stored within a memory. The invention relies upon an object-centered constraint approach, which uniquely incorporates object-oriented principles together with constraint-satisfaction techniques. A key feature of the present invention is the ability to represent knowledge about items which exist in fact ("existing items") and items which are capable of existing ("feasible items").

Abstract: A method for encoding a video signal of a current contour of
an object based on a previous contour thereof determines a
multiple number of first vertex points on the current contour
and maps the first vertex points onto the previous contour to
thereby provide second vertex points of said multiple number
on the previous contour. After approximating the current
contour based on the first vertex points to thereby provide a
first approximation contour and approximating the previous
contour based on the second vertex points to thereby provide
a second approximated contour, the method obtains a first set
of approximation errors between the current contour and the
first approximated contour and a second set of approximation
errors between the previous contour and the second
approximated contour. The method then calculates a
difference between the first and the second sets of
approximation errors and encodes the difference to produce
encoded data.

Abstract: The present invention provides a password authentication security system for a telecommunications network (100) having a plurality of user terminals or subscriber stations (110) communicably coupled to the network (100). The system comprises a network control or service center (108) coupled to the subscriber stations (110), to service provider stations (102) and to network databases (104, 106) via the network (100). Upon establishment of a communication with a subscriber station (110), a network coupling identifier comprising in one embodiment the telephone number of the line to which the subscriber station (110) is connected is detected at a telephone switching office (120) and transmitted to the control center (108). If this is the first time communications have been established between the subscriber station (110) and the network (100), the received telephone number is encrypted to produce a secret password that is then automatically transmitted to the subscriber station (110) for storage in memory (126). Upon subsequent communications, the telephone number is again received by the control center (108) where it is encrypted to produce a second password. The first password is then automatically retrieved from memory (126) of the subscriber station (110) independent of user interaction. The two passwords are compared, and the network control center (108) causes the incoming call from the subscriber station (110) to be connected to a network service provider station (102), a network database (104, 106), a network output device or the like if the passwords are at least similar. If the two passwords are not at least similar, the control center (108) causes the incoming call of the subscriber station (110) to be disconnected, thereby terminating the subscriber station's access to the network (100).

Abstract: A method in accordance with the invention allocates bandwidth, fairly and dynamically, in a shared-media packet switched network (300) to accommodate both elastic and inelastic applications. The method, executed by or in a head-end controller forming part of a band allocation unit (305), allocates bandwidth transmission slots for a plurality of network access units (315) connected to the band allocation unit (305) via a physical communications network (310), converting requests for bandwidth into virtual scheduling times for granting access to the shared media. The method can use a weighted fair queuing algorithm or a virtual clock algorithm to generate a sequence of upstream slot/transmission assignment grants. The method supports multiple quality of service (QoS) classes via mechanisms which give highest priority to the service class with the most stringent QoS requirements.
