Patent EP-1329740-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHEN CHI-CHIH
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2003-01-17
Abstract: The present invention is a radar system for detecting the presence of
obstacles. The radar system includes at least one transmitting antenna and
at least one receiving antenna. The transmitting antenna receives an input
signal and transmits an electromagnetic wave. The electromagnetic wave
reflects off an obstacle back to the receiving antenna. The receiving antenna
captures the reflected electromagnetic wave and produces an output signal.
The output signal is then combined with the input signal in a quadrature mixer
(46). The resulting in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals may be further
processed and then transmitted to a processing system (52). The processing
system (52) uses a suitable algorithm, e.g. a back projection algorithm, to
estimate the type and location of obstacles that reflect the electromagnetic
wave. In an exemplary embodiment, the algorithm is adapted to discriminate
between different sizes and locations of obstacles in order to determine if
there is a hazard. Based on this information, the processing system (52) then
communicates with a visual and/or audible warning system (54) in order to
alert the driver about the obstacle if it has been determined to be a hazard.

Abstract: Motion vectors are encoded through the steps of: (a)
predicting motion vectors of a first type identical to
that of a present block and obtaining predictive motion
vectors with respect to adjacent neighbor blocks having
motion vectors of a second, different, type; (b)
calculating a representative value of the motion vectors
of the first type from the motion vectors of the neighbor
blocks and the predictive motion vectors; (c) calculating
a difference value between the calculated representative
value and the motion vector of the present block; and (d)
encoding the calculated difference value. The motion
vectors can be more efficiently encoded even when they
refer to different reference pictures.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an open cell foam ceramic material of high
mechanical resistance for porous burners, in which the outer and inner walls of
the bridges of hollow triangular cross-section, which form the structure of the
foam material, are covered with a thin film of silicon carbide. The film entirely
fills the fissures between the internal convex walls of the cavities of the
bridges, and corresponding to them forms a rounded-off connecting zone between
two neighbouring walls. These rounded-off connecting zones prevent
formation of deep fissures (cracks or notches) in the bridges and decisively
reinforce the foam ceramic material produced according to the inventive
method. 
     The method of producing comprises three new phases of processing, in comparison
to the state of the art, which are:
     Covering of the bridges with a polymer of low viscosity and polymerising it at
low temperature;   Pyrolysis for transforming the coating polymer into a thin porous carbon film;   A thermal treatment at high temperature for infiltrating the foam ceramic material
with metallic silica and transforming the porous carbon film into a silicon
carbide film.

Abstract: - Méthode et dispositif pour mesurer l'anisotropie de résistivité de roches présentant des litages de conductivité différentes, tels que des laminations. 
- - La méthode comporte la mise en place de l'échantillon saturé par un premier fluide, dans un dispositif de mesures pétrophysiques permettant de le soumettre à des opérations de drainage par injection sous pression d'un deuxième fluide. Des couples d'électrodes (E 2 ,E' 1 ,E' 2 ) sont plaquées contre sa paroi périphérique permettant l'application d'un courant électrique (I) et la détection des différences de potentiel (ΔU) apparaissant entre des points d'application distincts en réponse à l'application du courant électrique. Durant ces opérations, on établit au moins un palier de pression d'injection du deuxième fluide et on réalise de mesures précises en continu des variations de l'impédance électrique complexe de l'échantillon à plusieurs fréquences durant une phase de déplacement du fluide saturant. Dans un premier temps, on réalise des mesures de l'impédance présentée par l'échantillon dans une position où les litages sont orientées sensiblement transversalement au champ électrique (E) créé par l'application du courant électrique et dans un deuxième temps, on réalise les mêmes mesures dans une autre position où les litages sont orientées sensiblement dans la direction du champ électrique. On détermine alors l'anisotropie de résistivité.

Abstract: Print data for a mailbox print instruction given by a client PC is stored in a hard disk. At the same time, when a user enters a detection area, an electromagnetic wave signal is transmitted to a memory card carried by the user in order to retrieve the user's identification information. Based the retrieved identification information, the user is authenticated. Then, it is determined whether a mailbox print operation is requested in the personal information table. When requested, it is determined whether the print data of the user is stored in the hard disk. When stored, the print data is printed out through the printer.

Abstract: A method and system for characterizing the motion of moving objects in video is disclosed. Foreground objects temporarily stay in the video. However, a left or stopped object becomes part of the background scene and remains in the video forever. A method determines left objects or stopped objects by comparing the background image estimated from the current image of the video with the background estimated from previous images of the video. Differences therein indicates a left or stopped object. Other objects, which do not modify the background image are determined as transitory objects. If the video is in compressed form, estimating the background in the compressed data domain leads to a computationally efficient method as there is no need to decompress the video. In this case, comparison of the current background scene with the previous background scenes can be carried out in the compressed domain.
