Patent EP-1134009-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ARAI MASATOSHI
IPC: A63F13/79
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: Data regarding an advertising object is input
through a three-dimensional polygon data input part 31
and an attribute input part 32. A character management
part 20 manages characters appearing in a game provided
by a game story providing part 10. A polygon
assignment part 41 assigns three-dimensional polygon
data of the advertising object to the game character,
and an attribute reflecting part 42 reflects attributes
and performance of the advertising object on the game
character, whereby the advertising object is reproduced
as the game character in a three-dimensional virtual
space. A user performs a game on a display part 70
through a game performing part 50. A story development
control part 60 dynamically sets and changes an
evaluation value assigned to each scene and develops a
story, thereby allowing the user to virtually
experience the attributes and performance of the
advertising object. For example, the game may be a
driving game in which the user drives a new car model
as the advertising object.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention is a method for filtering projection data of
a computed tomographic scan of an object. The method includes steps of:
acquiring projection data representing a tilted, helical scan of an object; zero
padding the acquired projection data; determining a Fourier transform of the
zero padded projection data; determining a product of the Fourier transform of
the zero padded projection data, a ramp function, and a phase shift function;
and determining an inverse Fourier transform of the multiplied, transformed
projection data as filtered projection data. 
     The above-described method provides filtered data that produces
compensated tilted, helically scanned CT images having significantly better
spatial resolution than those methods employing a high frequency kernel
boost.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes de transferts anonymes de valeurs entre des supports de valeur tels que les cartes ISO-7810 et analogues. Afin que le système soit conforme au droit en matière de contrat et pour la bonne marche des programmes informatiques, un « document commercial virtuel » doit être crée ; l'effet juridique de son utilisation peut être énoncé dans un contrat collectif. On attribut des codes aux groupes de supports de valeur afin de desceller, au plus tôt et sans altérer l'anonymat des paiements, la présence de faux documents commerciaux virtuels dans le système ou une fausse « monnaie électronique » dans un système fonctionnant selon cette valeur. Le code reçu par le support de valeur est associé au code du support de transport de valeur. Un dispositif de blocage et de remise à zéro conditionnels des supports de valeurs entraîne l'enregistrement central des opérations anonymes. Ces valeurs sont comparées aux données relatives à la valeur ajoutée ou retirée au système de manière centrale. Afin de fixer les coûts système en fonction de l'utilisation dudit système, chaque opération donne lieu à la fixation, à l'enregistrement (et par la suite à l'enregistrement central) du coût associé ainsi qu'à la réduction de la valeur présente dans le support de valeur au moyen de la valeur de ce coût. En outre, les programmes entraînent la détermination pour une valeur résiduelle, de la valeur la plus haute; Cette dernière pouvant être transférée et la valeur égale au coût d'une telle opération pouvant écartée.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for closed-loop power threshold leveling for a satellite communication system is provided. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of user earth terminals (UET) (301-305), a satellite (370) and a network control center (NCC) (360). The NCC (360) periodically polls the UETs (301-305) to obtain power profile information from the UETs (301-305). When polled, the UETs form power profile responses, and send the responses back to the NCC (140) The NCC (360) then forms a power profile database and statistically analyzes the power profile information to determine an uplink power threshold adjustment. The NCC (360) then transmits the uplink power threshold adjustment to the satellite (370) which adjusts an on-board uplink power level threshold in response to the uplink power threshold adjustment. In systems using multiple coding levels, the NCC (360) determines uplink power offset values corresponding to the individual coding levels. The NCC (110) then delivers the uplink power offset values to the UETs (140) which update their local power offset values stored in memory.

Abstract: A weather information delivery system and a method of the
system, in which real time weather information having high accuracy
can be obtained by using many samples from mobile communication
terminals, are provided. Mobile communication terminals, which
scatter in wide areas and are connected to the Internet, output weather
condition information of spots where the mobile communication
terminals are positioned as a packet mode, by detecting the weather
condition information by using a built-in sensor or by pushing one of
designated keys on each of the mobile communication terminals. A
switching exchange makes weather information basic data as packets by
receiving the weather condition information transmitted from the mobile
communication terminals and also receiving the position information of
the mobile communication terminals from base stations to which the
mobile communication terminals are connected, and adding the time
information at the time when the weather condition information was
received, and transmits the packets to a channel. A weather
information server makes weather information of specified areas by
collecting the weather information basic data transmitted from the
switching exchange through the Internet, and by editing and processing
the received weather information basic data. An information delivery
server receives the weather information of specified areas transmitted
from the weather information server and stores it in the information
delivery server, and outputs the weather information of some area
corresponding to request from users.
