Inventor: KAMIYAMA TAKAO
IPC: F16L55/179
Filed: 1998-10-06
Abstract: An economical branch pipe liner bag (1) is provided which allows
for a reduction in manufacturing cost, stabilized quality, and mass-production,
and does not have any portion to be wasted when used. One
end of a tubular resin absorbent material (3) impregnated with an
unhardened hardenable resin is outwardly folded and pressed to form an
extension (3a) which is sandwiched between separate flange forming
members (4,5) to form a flange (6) at the one end of the tubular resin
absorbent material, thus constructing the branch pipe liner bag. Since the
branch pipe liner bag has the flange (6) formed at one end by integrally
coupling the flange forming members (4,5), which are members separate
from the tubular resin absorbent material (3), the flange forming members
can be mechanically mass-produced independently of the tubular resin
absorbent material, with the result that the manufacturing cost of these
flange forming members is reduced, and consequently the manufacturing
cost of the branch pipe liner bag is reduced.

Patent EP-0997034-A2 (EP)
Title: Image compression
Inventor: LIU QIN
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A DCT based lossy compresion method for compressing a digitised image composed of a matrix of image samples to provide a compressed image which satisfies a predefined bit budget. The digitised image is first sub-divided into blocks (e.g. of size 8X8 pixels). A discrete cosine transform (DCT) comprising a set of DCT coefficients is then derived for each block. A quantisation table is selected from a set of quantisation tables and, using the selected table, the coefficients of each DCT are quantised. A zero-value index, corresponding to the average number of zero value quantised DCT coefficients per DCT, is determined. A predicted zero-value index is calculated using said predefined bit budget and a quantisation table selected from said set of tables using the determined index and the predicted index. Using that selected table, the unquantised coefficients of the DCTs are requantised and the requantised coefficients compressed using run-length encoding and Huffman encoding.

Title: Bill validator for bank note having conductive strip
Inventor: BARCHUK VLADYMIR
IPC: G07D7/20
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: A device for validating the authenticity of a document uses changes in capacitance due to the presence of an electrically conductive security thread extending across the document or the presence of a watermark. The device uses a drive arrangement (14) for moving of a document such as a bank note, past a sensing arrangement (16, 24) which senses changes in capacitance due to movement of a security thread or watermark therapist. A frequency generator produces a high frequency time varying oscillator signal and provides this signal to an elongate oscillator electrode extending across the path of movement. A lead elongate measuring electrode is electrically conductive and positioned in front of the oscillator electrode and extends across said path and a trailing elongate measuring electrode is positioned behind the oscillator electrode and extends across the path. The signals from the measuring and the oscillator electrode are provided to a signal processing arrangement. The signal processing arrangement processes the signals relative to detect changes in amplitude and phase shift between the signals caused by a conductive security thread or the watermark passing by the electrodes. Chosen separation distances and using of two sensors placed on opposite sides of bank note reduces the signal intensity variations, caused by the wobbling of the bank note and changes in separation distance of the bank note from the sensor.

Abstract: Selon certaines réalisations, les informations sur le trafic d'un réseau sont prises aux sources de l'information. Ces sources fournissent à un dispositif réseau des informations détaillées sur les transactions réseau, différents types de sources pouvant fournir différents types d'informations. Des collecteurs d'informations recueillent, auprès des divers dispositifs sources d'informations, des informations détaillées et les convertissent en informations normalisées. Les collecteurs d'informations peuvent mettre en corrélation les informations recueillies avec des informations comptables destinées à la comptabilisation des transactions réseau. Des dispositifs gestionnaires gèrent les collecteurs d'informations et conservent les informations recueillies normalisées, et d'autre part, prennent les informations réseau et y éliminent les doublons existant dans les informations normalisées. Les dispositifs gestionnaires assurent également la consolidation des informations. En outre, les informations conservées par les dispositifs gestionnaires sont les informations des transactions réseau, mises en corrélation comptable, consolidées, qui peuvent être utilisées pour l'imputation comptable et la comptabilisation des transactions réseau. On dispose ainsi d'un système distribué d'imputation comptable et de comptabilisation des transactions réseau.

Abstract: In a method for distributing video information from a
central station unit placed on the ground to at least one mobile
terminal unit comprising a terminal unit mounted on a mobile
object, a request for distribution of the video information is
transmitted as request information from the mobile terminal unit
to the central station unit by radio communication, and the
requested video information is distributed from the central
station unit to the mobile terminal unit by digital radio
communication. In this method, the video information is
hierarchized, and part of the video information in a hierarchical
rank according to read right information transmitted together
with the request from a mobile terminal is made readable.
Further, accounting on the distributed video information in the
central station is performed based on accounting information from
the mobile terminal. Furthermore, the mobile terminal transmits
information indicating the receiving environment of the terminal
to the central station together with the request, and the central
station changes the method for ensuring transmission quality
relating to code errors in the video information distributed to
the mobile terminal, in accordance with the receiving environment
information.

blended together in a manner to minimise the effects of
multipath distortion. In non-diversity mode, a forcing
