Abstract: A shape-memory actuator device for maintaining an orientable member, in particular a solar generator (2), in a position aligned with the sun, comprises a distribution of lenses (12) for focusing the direct or indirect solar radiation (R) on a shape-memory element (13) as the position of the sun varies. The device further comprises a shielding member (14), which is connected in rotation to the orientable member (2) and is controlled by the shape-memory element (13) when the latter is activated following upon the heat generated by the solar radiation as far as a position in which it shields the lens (12) which is focusing the direct radiation (12). In said condition, the shape-memory element is de-activated, and the shielding member returns into a position in which it again uncovers the focusing lens (12). The shielding member thus continues to perform oscillations about the position aligned with the sun, following at the same time said position as the sun moves.

Abstract: A plurality of images of a common object acquired by ultrasound echo imaging, such as echocardiography, are combined. In respect of each image, a monogenic signal is derived and used to derive, in respect of each pixel, feature measures being measures of phase congruency feature, and alignment measures being measures of the degree of alignment between the normal to said phase congruency feature and the analysis beam. In respect of each pixel, there are derived relative weights for the plurality of images in correspondence with the feature measures for the plurality of images in respect of the corresponding pixel, taking into account the alignment measures for the plurality of images. A combined image is produced by combining the corresponding pixels of each image in accordance with the determined relative weights. By use of the image content, in particular the feature measures and the alignment measures, the images having a better definition of features in any given area predominate in the combined image so that the overall information content is improved.

Abstract: Techniques for performing inter-frequency handoff in a wireless communication network are described. An access terminal may acquire a first sector on a first frequency (e.g., at power up), receive an overhead message from the first sector, obtain neighbor list information from the overhead message, and store this information. The access terminal may be directed from the first frequency to a second frequency, e.g., to balance network load. The access terminal may perform handoff to a second sector on the second frequency. This handoff may be unsuccessful if the access terminal is within the coverage of the first sector but outside the coverage of the second sector, even though the two sectors may be co-located. If the handoff is unsuccessful, then the access terminal may determine a neighbor sector based on the stored neighbor list information, then attempt acquisition of the neighbor sector, and perform handoff to the neighbor sector if acquired.
