Abstract: An interactive desktop system comprising a work surface, a video projector for displaying
images in a display area, an camera for capturing images present on the work surface, and an
image processing computer coupled to the projector and to the camera, and adjustment means for
adjusting, in response to user action, the field of view of the camera. In the preferred embodiment,
the adjustment means comprises a frame including a housing in which the camera is disposed, the
frame being movable (in a manner similar to that of a shade of a desk lamp) whereby the field of
view of the camera is altered. In another embodiment, the image processing computer is adapted
for modifying, in response to a user input, the dimensions of the display area and/or the resolution of
the images displayed therein. The image processing computer may include means, responsive to a
user input designating a position on the work surface, for causing movement of the housing whereby
the said designated position is moved to within the field of view of the camera.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure-control valve (214) for controlling a
pressure to be supplied to a frictional engaging element (24) such as a
start clutch in an automatic vehicle transmission, including a first
pressure-regulating valve connected to a hydraulic pressure source (310)
and connected to the frictional engaging element through a second
passage, and a solenoid for displacing the first-pressure-regulating
valve. A second pressure-regulating valve is
provided and is connected to the first pressure-regulating valve to receive the output
hydraulic pressure, the first pressure-regulating and the second pressure-regulating
valve are connected such that the output hydraulic pressure varies in response to the
command input according to a first characteristic, while the output hydraulic pressure
varies in response to the command input according to a second characteristic when the
command input exceeds a predetermined value, wherein the output hydraulic pressure
according to the first characteristic per unit of command input is less than the output
hydraulic pressure according the second characteristic, thereby reducing load hysteresis
and improving control accuracy in a low pressure region, while enabling to secure high
torque capacity in a high pressure region.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé visant à faciliter l'administration de médicaments à des cellules et des tissus, au niveau de sites physiologiquement protégés, à des concentrations pharmacocinétiquement utiles, ainsi qu'à un procédé de ciblage de médicaments vers des organites spécifiques à l'intérieur de la cellule. Cette invention, relative au ciblage de conjugués de médicaments et de lipides polaires, représente un progrès par rapport aux procédés de ciblage de médicaments conformes à l'état antérieur de la technique, du fait qu'elle permet l'apport de concentrations de médicaments dans des sites physiologiquement protégés qui peuvent atteindre des niveaux thérapeutiquement efficaces après administration de doses systémiques très inférieures à celles couramment administrées pour produire un effet thérapeutique. Le procédé de l'invention convient particulièrement à l'administration rapide et efficace de médicaments, d'agents et de composés à action psychotrope, neurotrope ou neurologique, à travers la barrière hémato-encéphalique. L'invention se rapporte en outre à un organe de rétention et de libération enzymatique prolongée de médicaments, d'agents et de composés à action psychotrope, neurotrope ou neurologique, qui contiennent les conjugués décrits ci-dessus, dans le cerveau et le système nerveux central.

Abstract: A high-order, polynomial regression curve is
fitted to a global set of first-arrival pick times as a
function of the nominal range between a plurality of
acoustic sources having known geodetic coordinates and
a plurality of acoustic detectors whose coordinates are
imperfectly known. The polynomial is applied to the
pick times to provide pick time distances with the
vertical velocity gradient removed. The known source
coordinates, the nominal detector coordinates and the
pick time distances are combined to provide a quadratic
surface to provide a common data block containing the
coefficients for modeling the lateral velocity
gradient. Using the so-determined coefficients, the
imperfectly-known detector positions are iteratively
updated using the Helmert blocking technique.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for improving data transfer performance
over communications networks connecting data networks and users using adaptive
communications formatting. Adaptive communications formatting includes encoding (or
compressing) the data and applying error control schemes to reduce the amount of data
being transmitted and to correct and/or conceal errors occurring during data transmission.
In one embodiment, the present invention uses a set of transcoding techniques to encode
(or compress) the data and a set of error control schemes to correct and/or conceal errors
occurring during data transmission. The particular sets of transcoding techniques and
error control schemes selected to format the data are adaptive to factors, such as the
nature of the communications network connecting a user to an access server on the data
network, the preferences of the user, and the data type of the data being transmitted to the
user (or the access server).

IPC: G01S7/36
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: When an IFF system interrogates a target aircraft (80) and receives IFF reply signals (82),
monopulse processing (84) of the reply signals can provide more accurate determination of
target azimuth. However, when reply signals have amplitudes close to noise or jamming levels,
azimuth processing by non-monopulse techniques (96a) such as beamsplitting or center of
gravity analysis can provide better accuracy than monopulse azimuth processing (96b).
Methods are described to enable adaptive selection of the type of azimuth processing to be
employed. Such selection is based on active comparison of received signal magnitudes against
monopulse sum and difference signal threshold values and a noise threshold value (85, 86, 88,
91, 92, 94). Monopulse azimuth processing can thus be used at all times, except when non-monopulse
azimuth processing is chosen by such adaptive selection.

Abstract: A vehicle seat suspension (30) having a scissors arm linkage (38) disposed
between a platform (32) and base (36) with a link pivotally connected at one end
to a scissor arm of the linkage at a point spaced from a pivot interconnecting
scissor arms of the linkage and operably connected at its other end to a slide
carried by the platform (32) for communicating scissor linkage motion to a spring
carrier (40) also connected to the link. The carrier includes at least one coil
spring (128) held captive in compression between two spaced apart brackets (130,
132), one of which is pivotally connected to the end of the link adjacent the slide.
The point of pivotal attachment of the link to the scissor arm is spaced from the
linkage pivot to create a moment about the pivot tending to resist collapse of the
linkage when force from the spring is communicated to the linkage. To adjust
suspension weight resistance, the brackets (130, 132) are in communication with a
rod (134) attached to a knob that is rotated to changing the distance between the
brackets thereby changing the amount by which the spring is compressed. To
change seat height, another knob is rotated to move the rod (134), springs (128),
and brackets (130, 132) in unison toward or away from the front of the suspension
causing the linkage to controllably expand or collapse. By this suspension
construction, weight adjustment is advantageously substantially independent of
height adjustment.
