Title: Method and apparatus for validating vehicle operators
Inventor: SEGAL MICHAEL L
IPC: G07C5/00
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying and validating vehicle operators to multiple electronic systems, such as fleet management centers (110) and electronic monitoring systems, in a communication system.  The invention is particularly useful in the commercial trucking industry where multiple electronic applications require the identification of a vehicle operator. Each vehicle operator in the communication system is preassigned a unique identification code which is used to request a login or logoff from the validation system (208, 210, 212, 216, 214). A database of all vehicle operator identification codes is stored at a central station. The identification code is transmitted from the vehicle to the central station (102) when a login or logoff is desired. If the identification code of the requesting operator is found in the database (210), any electronic system requiring the vehicle operator's identification is notified of the login or logoff event and the identification of the vehicle operator requesting the event.

Title: Field-based watermark insertion and detection
Inventor: MILLER MATTHEW L
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A digital watermark is inserted into multimedia data (102) containing two image fields (106, 108) by placing a positive watermark into a first field (110) and a negative watermark into a second field (112). The positive watermark and negative watermark are opposite of one another. The two fields can be interlaced fields of a field-based video signal or alternate rows of a frame-based video signal. The watermark is extracted from field-based watermarked data (120) by separating the watermarked data (120) into two fields and subtracting one of the fields from the other field to generate a watermarked signal. The resultant watermarked signal is processed in a conventional manner to extract and detect the watermark.

Inventor: ANTIKAINEN TEUVO
IPC: A61L31/14
Filed: 1999-03-31
Abstract: L'invention concerne un tricot à mailles fibreux et souple, destiné à être implanté en vue de la fermeture de défauts herniaires. Ledit tricot est constitué d'au moins deux couches ou composants fonctionnels : (1) une première couche rapidement dégradable et (2) une seconde couche à dégradation plus lente (que la première). Grâce au tricot à mailles de la présente invention, il est possible de fermer le défaut herniaire de manière que a) la deuxième couche consolide la zone jusqu'à ce que les tissus cicatriciels soient suffisamment résistants (6 mois environ) pour éviter la formation d'une hernie récidivante, que b) la première couche à dégradation plus rapide provoque la formation de tissus cicatriciels suite à une réaction inflammatoire, et que c) la deuxième couche isole la première couche de la cavité abdominale, empêchant l'adhésion inter-tissulaire avec les intestins. Le tricot à mailles est disposé sur la surface non protégée du fascia, le côté le plus rapidement résorbable (la première couche) étant tourné vers le fascia.

Title: Seismic survey system
Inventor: LONGAKER HAROLD L
IPC: G01V1/22
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A wireless seismic survey (220) system is structured as a hierarchy of cell (225) network layers, each higher level cell network layer (15) covering a bigger area than a lower level cell network layer (20) and receiving data from the lower level cell network layer.  This hierarchical structure functions to concentrate collected data to a level that can be communicated to a central collection point, either through wireless, cable or other media.  By defining cells to cover predetermined areas, transmission frequencies and/or transmission time slots or codes can be reused by cells sufficiently spaced apart to avoid co-channel interference, thereby increasing the amount of usable bandwidth.

Abstract: A mechanism (16) adjusts a relative position of a component (14) within the vehicle. The mechanism has a mounting bracket (18). A drive drum (20) is mounted rotatably on the bracket for providing a rotary output to adjust the component (14). An actuation handle (22) is rotatably mounted to the drive drum (20) and rotatable relative to the drive drum (20) from a neutral position. A coil spring (24) surrounds the drive drum (20) in a sliding engagement. A return spring assembly (54) engages the coil spring (24). The handle (22) engages the coil spring (24) and the return spring assembly (54).
