Patent EP-1433310-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GROSVENOR DAVID ARTHUR
IPC: G10L17/26
Filed: 2002-10-01
Abstract: In automatic photographic or electronic camera apparatus, sounds from a predetermined person are preferentially received or identified to provide an audio signal which is then used to produce a saliency signal (11) (indicative of the person's response to circumstances) to control the camera 1 or an image signal (2, 6) produced therefrom. The sounds may be detected by a sound conduction microphone (4), e.g. on the head or throat of the person, or by voice identification circuitry used with a less specific microphone not necessarily mounted on the person. The person may or may not be wearing the camera. Control may be in real time, or the sound or saliency signal may be recorded (3) together with an image signal for subsequent control (7) of the latter. The audio signal may be categorised by waveform analysis, e.g. for the recognition of sounds such as speech (word recognition and/or prosody) or non-speech vocal sounds, and/or non-vocal sounds; signal amplitude may also be taken into account.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un tensionneur (10) comprenant un dispositif antirecul (40) permettant une libre rotation du bras de pivot (20) dans un sens, mais pas dans l'autre. La rotation inverse est interdite par une friction capable de s'opposer au couple s'exerçant sur le bras de pivot (20) dans des conditions de fonctionnement autrement susceptibles de laisser sauter la courroie crantée. Dans les modes de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif antirecul (40) comprend un manchon serrant (50) et un porte-pince (60) axialement interbloqués et capables de rotation l'un par rapport à l'autre. Un entourage de ressort d'embrayage (80) permet un mouvement de rotation relatif entre le manchon serrant (50) et le porte-pince (60) dans un sens mais pas dans l'autre. Une pince (70) prisonnière dans le porte-pince (60) exerce une action de friction contre l'arbre du pivot. La pince à friction peut être remplacée par un visco-coupleur.

Abstract: There is provided an image processor and a method thereof for
high-speed compensation for taken-image blurs produced by camera shakes
or the like. In the first instance, a motion-detecting area is selected for
each of two images taken by an image sensor. When projective data is
calculated by means of computing in a predetermined direction pixels of
the motion-detecting areas, the motion vector between the two images can
be acquired based on the projective data. The image correlativity between
the two images is then calculated in the direction that the motion vector
designates; and the amount of pixel displacement between the two images
is calculated based on the correlativity values acquired by the calculation.
Moreover, the area that has been produced by displacing an image output
area in a camera-shake compensation area designated in the second frame,
by the pixel-displacement amount calculated by a displacement calculator
is cut away from the camera-shake compensation area, and is outputted as
an image for the image output area of the second frame.

The controller of each network has a usable physical area tht indicates the farthest distance to which the controller can successfully communicate. The controllers will pass network information to each other in various ways depending upon the extent of overlap between the networks. If two networks have visible overlap, the controllers will pass the network information directly. If they have hidden overlap, one controller will use a device in the other controller's network to pass the network information. If they have indirect overlap, one device from each network will together in a child network, and the controllers will pass the network information via the devices in this child network. The network information may be passed through beacons or a separate broadcast message.

Abstract: A method is claimed for reducing malodours or bad tastes of solid
products containing at least one C 1 -C 14  mono-carboxylic acid wherein
said solid product is made by drying an aqueous solution, dispersion
and/or slurry which contains the said carboxylic acid and an amount of
one or more proteins, including at least one water-soluble protein. The
advantage of intermixing proteins with the carboxylic acid is that the
malodour or bad taste of this acid is reduced, even when they do not
form a coating around the acid. Moreover, less material is needed when
starting from a solution, dispersion and/or slurry and the drying process is
less expensive and the organic acid stays more directly physiologically
available when used in feed or food compared to a coated organic acid.
