Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'identifier une bordure dans une image numérique définie par une pluralité de pixels. Chaque pixel est défini par une couleur et une position indiquant son emplacement dans l'image numérique. Le procédé consiste notamment à recevoir, pour chaque pixel, un gradient indiquant une direction et une amplitude de changement de couleur. L'utilisateur saisit une région d'intérêt qui renferme au moins une partie de la bordure à identifier; à estimer les informations concernant une zone périphérique qui modèle la partie bordure et à estimer une position, une direction et une largeur de ladite zone. On estime la position de cette zone en calculant une valeur moyenne pondérée des positions de chaque pixel dans la région d'intérêt. On estime la direction de la zone périphérique en calculant une valeur moyenne pondérée de la direction de chaque gradient de pixel dans la région d'intérêt. Le procédé consiste en outre à calculer une mesure de confiance dans les informations de la zone périphérique et à estimer une largeur de ladite zone où la mesure de confiance calculée décroît sensiblement lorsque la largeur estimée augmente. La bordure est identifiée sur la base des informations de la zone périphérique, laquelle bordure identifiée pour améliorer le masquage d'un objet lié par ladite bordure à partir de l'image numérique.

Abstract: A system for and method of automatically implementing PKI-based encryption between a sender and a recipient. The system includes a sender local agent (130) associated with a sender electronic device (100) and a recipient local agent (130) associated with a recipient electronic device (100) wherein both the sender and recipient electronic devices are capable of connecting to a control server (200) via the Internet. The sender local agent is operable to (i) receive content generated on the sender electronic device, (ii) generate a package of encrypted content using PKI-based encryption by obtaining at least one public key from the control server, and (iii) send the package to the control server. The control server is operable to receive the package from the sender local agent and transmit the package to the recipient local agent. The recipient local agent is operable to (i) receive the package from the control server, (ii) launch a recipient local agent-controlled window or process, (iii) decrypt the encrypted content in the package, and (iv) use or display decrypted content within the recipient local agent-controlled window or process. Packages preferably include content such as text, data and graphic images. Packages also preferably include embedded content dissemination rules, selected by the package sender, restricting the dissemination of the content by the recipient.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode d'analyse d'une substance consistant à ioniser cette substance pour former une chaînes d'ions. Ces ions sont ensuite soumis à une première analyse de masse. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, ces ions sont accélérés dans une cellule de choc en suivant un procédé connu afin de former des ions fragments primaires, lesquels sont ensuite accélérés dans un analyseur de masse en aval pour favoriser la fragmentation secondaire. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, ces ions sont amenés à traverser la cellule de choc, sans fragmentation, puis ils sont accélérés de la cellule de choc à une section à faible pression, qui peut être un analyseur de masse ou un ensemble tige servant de collecteur ou de collimateur d'ions. Ces opérations sont réalisées dans des conditions favorisant la fragmentation. Les conditions d'exploitation de la section à faible pression peuvent être adaptées pour favoriser la collecte ou le rétention d'ions en fonction de leur masse, et plus spécifiquement pour rejeter les ions de faible masse. Ceci permet de refroidir le ions fragments primaires, et de former ensuite des ions fragments secondaires à partir de ces ions, après qu'ils aient dissipé une certaine quantité d'énergie. Cette invention permet par conséquent de contrôler les processus de fragmentation secondaire, et offre de nombreuses possibilités d'analyse d'ions complexes.

Abstract: A fine powder of polytetrafluoroethylene is mixed with
a liquid lubricant, and the mixture is molded into an
unsintered sheet by at least one of an extrusion method and a
rolling method. The liquid lubricant is removed from the sheet
by at least one of a heating method and an extrusion method.
This sheet-form molding is stretched in the machine direction
to produce a sheet-form polytetrafluoroethylene molding which,
upon analysis with a differential scanning calorimeter, gives
a crystal fusion curve having an endothermic peak in the
temperature range of 345±5°C and which has a degree of
crystallization of from 0.1 to 0.85 and a specific gravity of
1.4 or lower. The molding is then stretched in the transverse
direction to produce a porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
membrane. The process is effective in producing, with good
reproducibility, a useful porous PTFE membrane which has a high
collection efficiency and a low pressure loss and is reduced in
the leakage of coarse particles.
