Title: Quality based image compression
Inventor: THYAGARAJAN KADAYAM S
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2001-01-26
Granted: 2012-02-28
Abstract: A system and method for quality-based image compression utilizing adaptively sized blocks and sub-blocks of discrete cosine transform coefficient data and a quality based quantization scale factor (100) is claimed. A block size assignment element (120) in an encoder element (104) selects the block or sub-block of an input block of pixel data to be processed. Blocks with variances larger than a threshold are subdivided, while blocks with variances smaller than a threshold are not subdivided. A transform element transforms the pixel values of the selected blocks into the frequency domain (124). The frequency domain values are quantized (132, 134, 136, 144, 148) either on a block by block basis or a frame by frame basis utilizing a scale factor that correlates with the quality of the image. The data is then serialized and coded (152) in preparation for transmission.

Title: Apparatus and method incorporating an ultrasound transducer onto a delivery member
Inventor: MAGUIRE MARK A
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2001-05-16
Granted: 2010-11-30
Abstract: A medical device assembly and method provides an ultrasound transducer (830) mounted onto a catheter shaft. The ultrasound transducer is mounted such that there is a radial separation between the transducer and the underlying catheter shaft. The transducer is mounted on support structures which do not bridge the gap between the transducer and delivery member. The location of the support structures provides for an "airbacked" transducer that is very efficient and prevents heat build-up in the materials in contact therewith.

Title: Allocating data transmission resources in packet-switched data transmission
Inventor: KALLIOKULJU JUHA
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2001-06-25
Granted: 2009-04-07
Abstract: A method of allocating data transmission resources in a packet-switched telecommunications system which comprises a terminal and a fixed network to which an operational entity is defined for defining resources for a radio bearer. Radio bearer resources are defined for the terminal on the basis of an application used on the radio bearer, and the used compression method of header fields in data packets is selected before the radio bearer resources are defined, the resources being defined in such a manner that they also comprise the capacity required by the selected compression method of header fields in data packets. The compression methods of header fields in data packets, which are supported by the terminal, are transmitted to the operational entity in the fixed network for defining the compression method to be used. Capacity is defined for the radio bearer in two directions, if the selected compression method of header fields in data packets requires a bi-directional connection.

Granted: 2013-01-29
Abstract: A method of inhibiting the disclosure of confidential information through power analysis attacks on processors in cryptographic systems. The method masks a cryptographic operation using a generator. A secret value is combined with the generator to form a secret generator. The secret value is divided into a plurality of parts. A random value is generated for association with the plurality of parts. Each of the plurality of parts is combined with the random value to derive a plurality of new values such that the new values when combined are equivalent to the secret value. Each of the new values is used in the cryptographic operation, thereby using the secret generator in place of the generator G in the cryptographic operation. The introduction of randomness introduces of noise into algorithms used by cryptographic systems to mask the secret value and protect against power analysis attacks.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un papier de sécurité et des procédés de fabrication d'un tel papier. Cette invention utilise un papier de base de couleur claire (42) possédant une zone de non-protection d'une première épaisseur, et une zone de protection d'une seconde épaisseur sur au moins une surface majeure du papier de base (42) dans lequel la première épaisseur est supérieure à la seconde. Le papier de base (42) comprend du colorant (50), c'est pourquoi la zone de protection présente une transparence lorsqu'elle est visualisée au moyen de lumières émises, et présente le colorant comme une indication de couleur plus foncée par rapport à la zone de non-protection, lorsqu'elle est visualisée au moyen d'une lumière réfléchie. L'émission de lumière à travers une combinaison de fibres à papier et de colorants, les deux étant disposés au niveau de la zone de protection, est sensiblement différente de l'émission de lumière à travers les zones de non-protection du papier de base, lorsqu'il est visualisé par l'oeil humain.

Abstract: A packet network node and method of operating a packet network node are disclosed. Conventional packet network nodes react to congestion in the packet network by dropping packets in a manner which is perceived by users to be indiscriminate. In embodiments of the present invention, communication sources precede communications with a start packet which contains a communication identifier also carried within subsequent packets of the communication. The packet network node makes an entry in a vulnerable communications table (6.4) on receipt of such a start packet. After an amount of time, and often before the cessation of a communication, such entries are removed from the vulnerable communications table. On the onset of congestion, the packet network node disclosed herein deletes packets in communications identified in the vulnerable communications table. This provides a congestion alleviation method which is less annoying to users since communications that have been in existence for longer are less susceptible to component packets being deleted.

Title: Apparatus and method for determining a drilling mode to optimize formation evaluation measurements
Inventor: HEIDLER RALF
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 1999-01-21
Granted: 2007-10-02
Abstract: There are many natural pauses during rotary drilling operations where a portion of the drill string remains stationary. Pauses include drill pipe connections, circulating time, and fishing operations. These pauses are used to obtain formation evaluation measurements that take a long time or that benefit from a quiet environment, as opposed to the naturally noisy drilling environment. Various techniques that are sensitive to the mud flow, weight-on-bit, or motion of the drill string may be used alone or in combination to identify the drilling mode and control the data acquisition sequence.
