Granted: 2006-01-24
Abstract: Two video signals, typically an original signal (16) and a degraded version (16d) of the same signal, are analysed firstly to identify the perceptually relevant boundaries of the elements forming the video images depicted therein (31). These boundaries are then compared (33) to determine the extent to which the properties of the boundaries defined in one image (16) are preserved in the other (16d), to generate an output (38) indicative of the perceptual difference between the first and second signals. The boundaries may be defined by edges, colour, luminance or texture contrasts, disparities between frames in a moving or steroscopic image, or other means. The presence, absence, difference in clarity or difference in means of definition of the boundaries is indicative of the perceptual importance of the differences between the signals, and therefore of the extent to which any degradation of the signal (16d) will be perceived by the human viewer of the resulting degraded image. The results may also be weighted (36) according to the perceptual importance of the image depicted - for example the features which identify a human face, and in particular those responsible for visual speech cues.

Title: Method for computer-assisted testing of software application components
Inventor: WALKER JEFFREY L
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2000-11-10
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: A method and computer product for facilitating automatic testing during the development and other life cycle phases of a software application comprised of transactions. A transaction tester evaluates the integrity of a transaction by generating test data from the definition of the transaction under test. Typical values for fields may be included within the transaction definition and reused as typical test values. Test results are generated and compared against known-good values or, alternatively, against expected test results also generated from the transaction definition. Other software components may also be tested including menu structures. A definition of the menu structure is rigorously traversed such that each entry of each menu is thoroughly tested and reported. Results are automatically compared and verified against known good results or test results are automatically reviewed. Both transaction testing and menu testing may be incorporated into regression testing.

Granted: 2007-04-24
Abstract: The present invention provides a frame erasure concealment device and method that is based on reestimating gain parameters for a code excited linear prediction (CELP) coder. During operation, when a frame in a stream of received data is detected as being erased, the coding parameters, especially an adaptive codebook gain gp and a fixed codebook gain gc, of the erased and subsequent frames can be reestimated by a gain matching procedure. By using this technique with the IS-641 speech coder, it has been found that the present invention improves the speech quality under various channel conditions, compared with a conventional extrapolation-based concealment algorithm.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur procédé et un dispositif permettant de fixer des capuchons sur une pluralité de bombes aérosols qui avancent le long d'une chaîne de fabrication. Ledit dispositif (40) est équipé d'une plaque de pression (42) avec une surface de contact de capuchon (82) sur un côté et une surface porteuse (80) sur un côté opposé. La surface de contact est orientée de manière à faire face aux capuchons (48), lesquels sont mis sur plusieurs bombes aérosols (44) après avoir passé la plaque de pression (42) sur la chaîne de fabrication. La surface de contact tourne autour de l'axe de manière à ce qu'un segment d'installation de la surface de contact bouge de manière synchronisée avec la pluralité des bombes aérosols. Une roue de pression (46) comporte une surface en circonférence rotative (90) conçue pour reposer contre une partie de la plaque de pression (42) et pour mettre le segment d'installation en contact avec les capuchons (48) desdites bombes aérosols. Lorsque les bombes passent devant la roue et la plaque de pression, le segment d'installation de la surface de contact qui se déplace le long des bombes exerce une force qui permet de fixer les capuchons sur les bombes aérosols.

Abstract: Lorsqu'un utilisateur obtient des informations fournies par un système d'informations fondé sur le Web, c'est en général pour une tâche que l'utilisateur doit ensuite achever. Souvent cette tâche comprend l'envoi des informations à un autre dispositif. Par exemple, si le système d'informations fondé sur le Web est un annuaire téléphonique, la tâche est d'obtenir le numéro de téléphone d'une personne puis de téléphoner à cette même personne. La présente invention permet d'automatiser ces types de traitement. Un serveur Web additionnel (appelé un serveur de réacheminement) sert à recevoir des informations du système d'informations fondé sur le Web et à réacheminer ces informations à un récepteur d'informations requis (tel que le téléphone de l'utilisateur, le magnétoscope ou un autre dispositif). De cette manière, le système d'informations fondé sur le Web n'a pas besoin de connaître le récepteur d'informations et il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser un explorateur Web spécifique. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, plusieurs serveurs de réacheminement sont utilisés pour améliorer le service et le fonctionnement dans certaines situations, telles que lorsque le serveur de réacheminement fait partie d'un réseau de communication qui est privé et propre à une entreprise particulière.

Title: File translation
Inventor: ZHOU SHUN
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2003-06-26
Granted: 2008-01-15
Abstract: A solution for translating translatable components in a file containing structured information from a source language to one or more selected destination languages is disclosed. In an embodiment, the translatable components in the original file may be identified by an identifier. Such an identifier may be, for example, a prefix character string which may be located using a suitable parser. The file and its translatable components may then be separated into a structural base or "skeleton" file, and an "isolated" file containing the translatable components. The translatable components in the isolated file may then be translated from the source language to a selected destination language to form translated components. These translated components in the isolated file may then be merged with the skeletal file to create a new file having substantially the same structure as the original file, but with the translatable components translated into the selected destination language.
