Abstract: Bille de bois massif isolée PRÉCIS OU ABRÉGÉ DESCRIPTIF Il s'agit d'une pièce de bois massif destinée à la construction de murs extérieurs de bâtiments et dont la découpe spéciale usinée en forme de "H" permet l'insertion de pièces d'isolant rigide. Le concept permet le montage progressif des murs en emboîtant les pièces les unes sur les autres. Depuis longtemps les maisons en bois massif pièces sur pièces font partie du patrimoine bâti de l'hémisphère nord. Mais depuis les années 70, les normes d'économie d'énergi e imposent des caractéristiques d'isolation thermique et d'étanchéité de plus en plus sévères. Les méthodes de construction traditionnelles ne peuvent plus satisfaire ces critères de performance. Ce nouveau concept permet de construire des bâtiments d'aspect traditionnell e qui, en plus, répondent adéquatement aux exigences de performances modernes. Une première bille en H est posée munie d'une pièce isolante dans sa cavité inférieure. Elle est fixée en place. Puis une pièce isolante est insérée dans la cavité supérieur e. Cette pièce d'isolant rigide dépasse la cavité en hauteur suffisante pour remplir la cavité inférieure de la prochaine bille à être posée. Cette deuxième bille est installée et ainsi le processus se poursuit jusqu'à la hauteur désirée du mur. Ce concept s'applique très bien aux constructions à structure de poutres et poteaux , sans s'y restreindre. Les découpes latérales usinées de la bille permettent de réaliser des joints étanches et performants. Selon les différentes applications, le détail de réalisation de ces joints e st primordial pour l'intégrité de l'ensemble du mur.

Title: Flexible optical network architecture and optical add/drop multiplexer/demultiplexer therefor
Inventor: LIU WEN
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2002-11-08
Abstract: The invention describes an optical network architecture which uses a limited number of wavelength channels while providing flexible connections between the network nodes. Each node in the network deploys a fixed wavelength transmitter and a fixed wavelength receiver, whose wavelengths are misarranged so that a set of wavelengths of the transmitter differs from the set of wavelengths of the receiver, and wavelengths of transmitters and receivers at different nodes are arranged so that for any pair of nodes there is at least one common wavelength which is the same for one of the transmitter and receiver at one node and one of the respective receiver and transmitter at the other node, thus providing a direct connection between the nodes. The corresponding structure of the optical add/drop multiplexer/demultiplexer for use at the network node, and method of providing direct connections between the nodes, are also provided.

Title: A framework and a system for semantic content extraction in video sequences
Inventor: AMER AISHY
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: As the use of video becomes increasingly popular, and wide spread through, for instance, broadcast services, Internet, and security-related applications, providing means for fast, automated, and effective techniques to represent video based on its content, such as objects and meanings, are important topics of research. In a surveillance application, for instance, object extraction is necessary to detect and classify object behavior, and with video databases, effective retrieval trust be based on high-level features and semantics. Automated content representation would significantly facilitate the use and reduce the costs of video retrieval and surveillance by humans. Most video representation systems are based on low-level quantitative features or focus on narrow domains. There are few representation schemes based on semantics; most of these are context-dependent and focus on the constraints of a narrow application and they lack, therefore, generality and flexibility. Most systems assume simple environments, for example without object occlusion or noise. The goal of this thesis is to provide a stable content-based video representation rich in terms of generic semantic features and moving objects. Objects are represented using quantitative and qualitative low-level features. Generic semantic features are represented using events and other high-level motion features. To achieve higher applicability, content is extracted independently of the type and the context of the input video.    The proposed system is aimed at three goals: flexible content representation, reliable stable processing that foregoes the need for precision, and low computational cost. The proposed system targets video of real environments such as those with object occlusions and artifacts.   To achieve these goals, three processing levels are proposed: video enhancement to estimate and reduce noise, video analysis to extract meaningful objects and their spatio-temporal features, and video interpretation to extract, context-independent semantics such as events. The system is modular, and layered from low-level to middle-level to high-level where levels exchange information. Results from a lower level are integrated to support higher levels. Higher levels support lower levels through memory-based feedback loops.      The reliability of the proposed system is demonstrated by extensive experimentation on various indoor and outdoor video shots. Reliability is due to noise adaptation and due to correction or compensation of estimation errors at one step by processing at subsequent steps where higher-level information is available. The proposed system provides a response in real-time for applications with a rate of up to 10 frames per second on a shared computing machine. This response is achieved by dividing each processing level into simple but effective tasks and avoiding complex operations.
