Abstract: An image decoding method of receiving a bit stream which includes coded inforniation of image data each divided into tiles each containing N pixels x M pixels and separately wavelet-encoded, and management information including information for specifying a memory location of the coded information for managing and identifying each tile or each resolution, and decoding a coded image corresponding to a necessary tile and a necessary resolution. The image decoding method separates the management information from an input bit stream; sets a tile or a resolution to be decoded according to a user's instructions; identifies a memory location of the coded inforn~ation which corresponds to the tile or the resolution to be decoded with reference to the management inforn~ation according to the setting step; extracts a portion of coded information from the bit stream, which corresponds to the set tile or the resolution based on the memory location of the identified coded information, and conducts wavelet-decoding of the coded data extracted by the coded data extracting step, so as to combine the wavelet-decoded images on a tile-by-tile basis, so that a desired image area is decoded, in a desired resolution, according to a user's instructions.

Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: System and method of forecasting space weather (at Earth or another location) based on identifying complex patterns in solar, interplanetary, or geophysical data. These data may include current (103, 104) or historical (105) measurements and/or modeled data (107) (predicted or simulated). Data patterns (both non-event and event-related) are identified (even when another event is occurring). Such patterns may vary with recent/cyclic variations in solar (e.g. solar max/min), interplanetary, or geophysical activity. Embodiments are built around: templates (200), expert systems, neural networks, hybrid systems comprising combinations of these, and multimodal intelligent systems.  Forecasts are customized and/or updated as new data arise and as systems are dynamically modified (e.g. via feedback between system parts). Numerical or other indexes are generated representing forecasts, associated confidence levels, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to analytical instrument-making engineering and can be used for analysing industrial gas and air emissions. The aim of said invention is to increase the sampling efficiency and to reduce, correspondingly the time of sampling. The inventive device for accumulating aerosols from gases comprises an atomiser connected to a gas pumping system, a needle, and a high-tension power supply. The atomiser is embodied in the form of a hollow cylinder provided with a dosing hole which is arranged in the central part of a lateral surface thereof. The gas pumping system comprises a dosing hole of the atomiser with a needle arranged therein. Said needle is provided with a means for moving it in relation to the atomiser.

Abstract: This identity authentication system is used in commercial transactions at a point-of-sale terminal. The system comprises a device for capturing a customer signature (signature pad or a smart pen), a sensor for capturing a biometric property of the customer during the transaction, a local processor, a wireless device carried by the customer, a device reader positioned at the point-of-sale terminal, and a host computer. The customer registers advising the system of a customer account that is to be used for payment. The customer also submits an electronic signature (written script of name) and a digital signature for reference purposes - a fingerprint. The customer is then issued a wireless device, the wireless device having memory. The memory may be an ID  card, a credit card, a smart card, a transponder, a barcode, or a combination of these memories. An identifying device reader (such as a card reader, an interrogator, a scanner) is located at the point-of-sale terminal that is compatible with the wireless device. Thereafter, when the customer uses a stylus to submit written data - an electronic signature is generated.  Similarly, a sensor in the stylus captures data that is used to generate a digital signature. A reference print is then accessed through the memory in the wireless device carried by the customer. The digital and electronic signatures are then compared against the reference data to authentic identity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of diagnosing neoplasms having a particular phenotype by using oncolytic viruses that selectively replicate in neoplasms having the particular phenotype. For example, reovirus does not replicate in normal cells. However, reovirus selectively replicate in cells with an activated ras pathway, which leads to death of these cells. Therefore, a cell which becomes neoplastic due to, at least in part, elevated ras pathway activities can be diagnosed by its susceptibility to reovirus replication. This invention can further be applied, using other oncolytic viruses, to the diagnosis and/or treatment of other tumors, such as interferon-sensitive tumors, p53-deficient tumors and Rb-deficient tumors. Kits useful in the diagnosis or treatment disclosed herein are also provided.
