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>

Abstract: A method of inserting z-axis reinforcing fibers into a multi-layer composite laminate. Layers of material made up of z-axis fiber and y-axis fibers are automatically transported into a z-fiber deposition machine having a housing with upper and lower surfaces. Z-axis apertures are formed in the respective upper and lower surfaces. An elongated solid rod having a tapered front tip is aligned in close proximity to the aperture n the bottom surface. The rod is first rotated by a motor and then actuated upwardly completely through the thickness of the layer of x-y material by an actuator. A first hollow tube having a z-axis is axially aligned with the aperture in the top surface and a fiber bundle is threaded downwardly through a first hollow tube to a position adjacent its bottom end. The z-fiber deposition machine has structure to feed a predetermined length of the fiber bundle downwardly through the first hollow tube so that it follows the pathway in the x-y material formed by the rod which is now withdrawn downwardly through the aperture in the bottom wall. The z-axis fiber is thus deposited into the x-y material. The top end of the z-fiber is then severed and the x-y material is then advanced a predetermined distance to complete the cycle and is thus set to be repeated.

Abstract: A stent for maintaining an open passageway through a body lumen, such as the prostatic urethra of a male patient, includes a coil segment and a flexible polymer material encapsulating the coil segment. The coil segment defines a lumen extending therethrough and includes a distal portion, a middle portion, and a proximal portion. Both the distal and proximal portions of the coil segment have a greater outer diameter in comparison to the middle portion, so as to enhance retention of the stent after placement within the patient's body. The coil segment is made from a wound element that includes one or more spaced windings. The flexible polymer material is disposed between adjacent spaced windings to form an imperforate flexible webbing that encapsulates the coil segment and prevents the growth of tissue between the windings and into the coil segment's lumen when the stent is placed within the patient.

Abstract: The invention describe protein arrays and their use to assay, in a parallel fashion, the protein products of highly homologous or related DNA coding sequences. By highly homologous or related it is meant those DNA coding sequences which share a common sequence and which differ only by one or more naturally occurring mutations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms, deletions or insertions, or those sequences which are considered to be haplotypes (a haplotype being a combination of variations or mutations on a chromosome, usually within the context of a particular gene). Such highly homologous or related DNA coding sequences are generally naturally occurring variants of the same gene. Arrays according to the invention have multiple for example, two or more, individual proteins deposited in a spatially defined pattern on a surface in a form whereby the properties, for example the activity or function of the proteins can be investigated or assayed in parallel by interrogation of the array.

Abstract: Outer loop/weighted open loop power control controls transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division duplex communication station. A first communication station (110) transmits a communication to a second communication station including target adjustment information generated at the first station on the basis of measured error rates of communications from the second station to the first station. The second station receives the communication and measures its received power level. Based on in part the received communication's power level and the communication's transmission power level, a path loss estimate is determined. A quality of the path loss estimate is also determined. The transmission power level for a communication from the second station to the first station is based on in part weighting the path loss estimate in response to the estimate's quality and based on the receive target adjusted by the target adjustment information transmitted from the first station.
