Inventor: DUPOTEAU FRANCOIS
IPC: G06F17/18
Filed: 2009-06-25
Abstract: In a bio-threat alert infrastructure system and method, an analyzing processor applies statistical algorithms to the collected quantita-tive data to precisely estimate event data, including time and position data, associated the development of a bio-threat. An encoding processor encodes the event data into a bio-threat alert signal. A transmitting element trans-mits the signal for reception by a bio-threat alert device. In the bio-threat alert device, and an associated method, a receiving element receives the signal. A decoding processor decodes the signal into the event data. A  presentation element presents the event data to a user of the device.

Abstract: It is intended to provide an output control method and an output control unit for a wind power plant which is capable of preventing the overloading of a storage battery unit and controlling an optimal overall output of a wind turbine generator and the storage battery unit. The output control method for the wind power plant in which the wind turbine generator and the storage battery unit are connected to a power grid in parallel, includes the steps of:  calculating total active power and total reactive power to be supplied to the power grid, and switching an operation mode selectively between: a first operation mode in which the wind turbine generator outputs wind turbine required active power and wind turbine required reactive power that can be outputted by the wind turbine generator and the storage battery unit outputs storage battery required active power and storage battery required reactive power which respectively correspond to a difference between the total active power and the wind turbine required active power and a difference between the total reactive power and the wind turbine required reactive power respectively; and a second operation mode in which the storage battery required active power is maintained and the storage battery required reactive power is reduced while the wind turbine reactive power is increased by an amount of the reduction of the storage battery required reactive power in such a case that apparent power based on the storage battery required active power and the storage battery required reactive power exceeds a setting apparent power of the storage battery unit.

Abstract: Additional information regarding a fingerprint is estimated, with a given level of confidence, on the basis of characteristics of a set of minutiae corresponding to this print. Local descriptors are determined around some at least of the minutiae, so that they comprise, in relation to zones comprising additional information estimated with the given confidence level, values calculated on the basis of said information and, in relation to zones not comprising such information, erasures. The local descriptors determined are quantized according to a given number of integer values, a value being reserved for erasures. The quantized local descriptors are coded with the aid of an error-tolerant coding algorithm associated with a decoding algorithm devised to take account of errors and erasures. And a pseudo-identity is determined on the basis of some at least of the coded quantized local descriptors.
