Abstract: A Method and an arrangement providing detection of deteriorated lamp filaments (3) in a lamp circuit (11) fed by constant current, in particular for a lamp supervision system for airfield lights. A change in a constant current fed through a lamp circuit (11) is initiated, whereby the lamp filament resistance is determined once in conjunction with the change in current and once a time period later. A difference between the resistance determinations constitutes the deterioration of a lamp filament (3) in comparison with a threshold value. Hence, no record of previous resistance determinations have to be stored, and lamps (4) can be replaced when the difference matches the threshold value.

Abstract: In a content delivery system, a gatekeeping apparatus (4) is connected to a network (3). Prior to the transmission of a request message to a content server (2), a user terminal (1) transmits an enquiry message to the gatekeeping apparatus (4). In response, the gatekeeping apparatus (4) makes a decision as to whether or not a content can be retrieved from the content server (2) and performs control on the transmission of the request message according to the decision. If the decision indicates that a content can be retrieved, the user terminal (1) transmits the request message to the content server (2). In a preferred embodiment, the gatekeeping apparatus (4) makes comparison between user's preference data and server's policy data and determines whether the requested content can be retrieved from the server (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved orthopedic method and system for incremental adjustment of the bone segments on either side of a bone repair site. The apparatus includes a ratchet assembly which may be subcutaneously implanted, and an adjustment assembly which may be inserted percutaneously for releasable engagement with the adjustment assembly. The ratchet assembly includes a first piece having a tongue with ratcheting serrations, and a second piece having a cavity to receive the tongue and also including ratcheting pawls to engage the serrations. The serrations and the pawl cooperate to act as a uni-directional ratchet; depending on the geometry of the serrations, the ratchet assembly may operate as an incremental distractor or reducer. The adjustment assembly may be a simple threaded shaft which engages with a threaded bore on one of the pieces of the ratchet assembly; in this embodiment as the shaft is rotated, its end will provide a force to the other piece of the ratchet assembly. Alternatively, the adjustment assembly may be a plunger-type device having a sleeve portion which hooks onto one of the pieces of the ratchet assembly and a plunger portion which provides a force to the other piece of the ratchet assembly. The system advantageously allows the adjustment assembly to be removed from the patient when not in use, and provides a low-profile design for the adjustment assembly (reducer, distractor, etc.) which allows for convenient subcutaneous implantation. The adjustment assembly may be constructed in whole or part from bio-absorbable materials.

Abstract: A valve control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided which is capable of optimally setting the closing timing of an engine valve according to operating conditions of the engine while suppressing an increase in the inertial mass of the engine valve to the minimum, thereby attaining improvement of fuel economy, and realization of higher engine rotational speed and higher power output in a compatible fashion, and reducing costs and weight thereof. The valve control apparatus controls opening and closing operations of an engine valve. A cam-type valve actuating mechanism actuates the engine valve to open and close the engine valve, by a cam which is driven in synchronism with rotation of the engine. An actuator makes blocking engagement with the engine valve having been opened, to thereby hold the engine valve in an open state. An ECU controls operation of the actuator to thereby control closing timing of the engine valve.

Abstract: The system is based on a change in the intensity of evaporation caused by a chimney effect, modifying the flow of air that circulates through the environment apparatus in the surrounding area of the fuse. It consists of using a base unit (1) with slots (6) for the passage of air in its upper part. This is done in such a manner that said base unit (1) can be used in isolation, thus attaining an apparatus that does not regulate the evaporation intensity, but that has a complementary part (7) joined to the upper part of said base unit (1). This assembly, enabling free turning, has complementary slots (9), that determine a greater or lesser flow of air and the consequent regulation of the intensity of the evaporation, depending on the greater or lesser degree of opposition they have to the slots (6). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radio communication system comprises a communication channel for the transmission of data from a secondary station to a primary station. The secondary station is operable in a first (normal) and a second (gated) mode, with a reduced quantity of data being transmitted in the second mode. The secondary station generates a coded word providing information on the transport formats applicable to the channel and transmits this coded word repeatedly to the primary station. Different coding schemes are used to generate the coded word in each mode of operation, thereby enabling improved performance in gated mode compared to truncating the coded word.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the recognition of objects in an image, where the objects may consist of an arbitrary number of parts that are allowed to move with respect to each other. In the offline phase the invention automatically learns the relative movements of the single object parts from a sequence of example images and builds a hierarchical model that incorporates a description of the single object parts, the relations between the parts, and an efficient search strategy. This is done by analyzing the pose variations (e.g., variations in position, orientation, and scale) of the single object parts in the example images. The poses can be obtained by an arbitrary similarity measure for object recognition, e.g., normalized cross correlation, Hausdorff distance, generalized Hough transform, the modification of the generalized Hough transform, or the similarity measure. In the online phase the invention uses the hierarchical model to efficiently find the entire object in the search image. During the online phase only valid instances of the object are found, i.e., the object parts are not searched for in the entire image but only in a restricted portion of parameter space that is defined by the relations between the object parts within the hierarchical model, what facilitates an efficient search and makes a subsequent validation step unnecessary. <IMAGE>
