Abstract: An information retrieval system and method are provided. Content from various sources, such as television, radio and/or Internet, are analyzed for the purpose of determining whether the content matches a predefined user profile, which corresponds to a manually or automatically created personalized information source. The personalized information source is then automatically created to permit access to the information in audio, video and/or textual form. In this manner, the universe of searchable media content can be narrowed to only those programs of interest to the user. Information retrieval can be accomplished through a PDA, radio, computer, MP3 player, television and the like. Thus, the universe of media content sources is narrowed to a personalized set.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for correcting initial sampling of the start bit of the serial bit rate of a filter's output signal, particularly of a writing/reading device for transmitting RF data signals between the writing/reading device and a mobile data carrier. The serial bit rate of the received signal is filtered during a filtering time (F), and the filter's output signal is then sampled during a first sampling time (A1) and additional sampling times (A2) in subsequent steps. Filtering of the received signal begins when a first edge signal (e.g. of a 1-0 transition) of the received signal is received. An interference is detected when a second edge signal (e.g. of a 0-1 transition) of the received signal is detected before the end of the filtering time (F). The duration (t) of the interference is detected, the sampling time (A1) is reduced by period (2t), and the sampling of the start bit and the additional data bits begins with sampling times (A2) after the end of the reduced sampling time (A1).

Abstract: The invention relates to an effective sign language learning system enabling
a learner to practice learner's sign language acts while sequentially confirming
learner's sign language acts and model sign language acts one at a
time. Two adjacent characteristic hand points are extracted that each
represent an end of an act from sign language act data to produce a model
sign language animation image (1803, 1804, 1805). Two adjacent characteristic
points are sensed from input learner's act data (801 of Fig. 8). The
learner's sign language act data (1801) are compared to the sign language
act data (1802) to produce the model sign language animation image
between the adjacent characteristic points (816 of Fig. 8). If the difference
between the data is in an acceptable range (images 1803 and 1805), similar
processing is performed on sign language act data between next adjacent
characteristic points (817 of Fig. 8). The type of display of the sign language
animation image may be changed according to the result of the evaluation
(Fig. 18) . If the evaluation result is low, a highlighted animation image is
displayed.

coefficient between the front tires and the rear tires preliminarily
obtained when at normal internal pressure; and judging simultaneous
decompression of two wheel tires of both front wheels or simultaneous

Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for determining
the relative concentration or composition of
different kinds of haemoglobin, such as oxyhaemoglobin,
deoxyhaemoglobin and dyshaemoglobins, and/or dye
components contained in blood in a non-invasive manner
using the light absorption caused by different haemoglobin
varieties and/or dye components, in which procedure
light signals are transmitted at at least two
predetermined wavelengths to a tissue comprised in the
patient's blood circulation, the light signal transmitted
through the target under measurement and/or reflected
from it is received and the proportion of the
intensity of the pulsating light signal received at
each wavelength is determined in relation to the total
intensity of the light transmitted through the tissue
or reflected from the tissue. In the procedure, the
effective extinction coefficients of blood haemoglobin
derivatives and/or dye components in the tissue are
determined for each light signal and/or light signal
pair via a mathematical transformation from blood dye
component extinction coefficients consistent with the
Lambert-Beer theory and the proportion of specific
blood haemoglobin derivatives and/or dye components in
relation to the total amount of haemoglobin contained
in the blood is determined by means of the intensity
of the signals received in different wavelength
ranges.

Abstract: An apparatus (27) for and method of operating a thermal actuator
(15) for a micromechanical device, especially a liquid drop emitter 110 such as an
ink jet printhead, is disclosed. The disclosed thermal actuator comprises a base
element (10) and a cantilevered element (20) extending from the base element and
normally residing at a first position before activation. The cantilevered element
includes a barrier layer (23) constructed of a low thermal conductivity material,
bonded between a deflector layer (22) and a restorer layer (24), both of which are
constructed of materials having substantially equal coefficients of thermal
expansion. The thermal actuator further comprises an apparatus adapted to apply
a heat pulse directly to the deflector layer, causing a thermal expansion of the
deflector layer relative to the restorer layer and deflection of the cantilevered
element to a second position, followed by restoration of the cantilevered element
to the first position as heat diffuses through the barrier layer to the restorer layer
and the cantilevered element reaches a uniform temperature. When used as a
thermal actuator for liquid drop emitters, the cantilevered element resides in a
liquid-filled chamber (28) that includes a nozzle (30) for ejecting liquid.
Application of a heat pulse to the cantilevered element causes deflection of a free
end forcing liquid from the nozzle. The barrier layer exhibits a heat transfer time
constant τ B . The thermal actuator is activated by a heat pulse of duration τ P  at a
repetion time of at least τ C , wherein τ P  < ½ τ B  and τ C > 3 τ B .
