Patent EP-1573771-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JOHNSTON THOMAS
IPC: C23F1/00
Filed: 2003-09-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'enlever des matières organiques et organométalliques d'un article, dans une atmosphère à pression réduite contenant de l'ozone et de l'oxygène activé. Une lampe à décharge à barrière diélectrique induit le transfert d'énergie moléculaire entre les molécules vers la matière organique et organométallique. La lampe à décharge à barrière diélectrique émet des rayons ultraviolets extrêmes possédant une longueur d'onde d'environ 172 nm, produisant une réaction photochimique avec le gaz contenant de l'oxygène, de sorte que de l'ozone et de l'oxygène activé soient générés. La matière organique et organométallique est ensuite fixée par l'ozone et l'oxygène activé.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of computing the transformation for transforming two images (10, 10′), in particular medial MR- or CT-images of a patient, one into the other. The motion pattern at tissue boundaries shows an abrupt change of local transformation parameters that can not be described by continuous transformation functions. To deal with this problem a clustering of corresponding control points (1-4) is proposed which all have similar or substantial by the same transformation parameters (t1-t4). Criteria for clustering are derived from the local transformation parameters. The transformation parameters for further control points (5, 6, 7), which belong to more than one cluster (C1, C2) are determined in two steps taking into account that the control point (5, 6, 7) could belong to only one of the clusters rather than by performing a conventional interpolation of the transformation parameters of neighbouring control points.

Abstract: Described is a method for processing a matrix code consisting of a plurality of pixels, wherein a grey or colour value is assigned to each pixel, said method consisting of the following steps: each pixel is associated with a digital value according to the grey or colour value thereof in relation to a first threshold value; each pixal is associated with one or several classes according to the digital value of one or several adjacent pixels; and each pixel of a class is associated with a digital value according to the grey or colour value thereof in relation to a class-specific threshold value. Preferably, an image file containing the matrix code is pre-processed in order to apply said method. The matrix code is represented by a plurality of pixels in the image file. One or several non-fixed pixels are associated with each pixel and the pixels of adjacent pixels are separated by one or several non-fixed pixels. According to the inventive method, the pixels which are fixed are those separating two such adjacent pixels which are associated with the respectively fixed pixels.

Title: Method of explaining a decision taken by a compensatory multi-criteria aggregation model
Inventor: LABREUCHE CHRISTOPHE
IPC: G06N7/02
Filed: 2003-11-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of explaining a decision taken by a compensatory multi-criteria aggregation model. According to the invention, a single compensatory multi-criteria aggregation model, which is defined by a certain number of phenomena, is established for the application in question, reproducing a determined expert evaluation. The invention is characterised in that: in the explanation, no reference is made to the specificities of the aggregation model if the decision taken had been the same by replacing the aggregation model by any other similar model; if the latter is not the case, the aggregation model is simplified by taking account of fewer and fewer phenomena as long as the decision taken remains the same; and an explanation based solely on the compensation phenomena present in the simplest pre-determined model is returned to the expert.

Abstract: A sensor (218) mountable within a hydraulic cylinder (200) provides a precision signal
indicative of the position of the piston (212) utilizing a non-contacting electromechanical
transducer. The sensor includes a flexible connector (216) attached between the cylinder

digital speech samples into one or more frames, computing model parameters for a frame,
and quantizing the model parameters to produce pitch bits conveying pitch information,
voicing bits conveying voicing information, and gain bits conveying signal level information.
One or more of the pitch bits are combined with one or more of the voicing bits and one or
