Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système sur réseau (30) de traitement de données multimédia. Un serveur, de préférence un groupe de serveurs (20, 22, 24), est couplé au réseau, chacun d'eux incorporant un jeu d'outils multimédia (34) ou moteur multimédia qui permet de créer, d'éditer, d'afficher et de gérer des objets multimédia, par exemple des fichiers, comprenant au moins une partie sous une des formes suivantes: vidéo, images, son et animation. Chaque serveur est équipé d'une mémoire pour le stockage d'objets multimédia. Un client (30), de préférence un ordinateur personnel et, de préférence, une pluralité de clients, ayant accès au réseau incorporent chacun une interface de montage multimédia (32), de préférence une interface d'utilisateur graphique (GUI), qui permet au client d'envoyer au serveur, via le réseau, des commandes de traitement multimédia sélectionnées dans un ensemble prédéfini de commandes de traitement multimédia. Un client peut, de préférence, envoyer une série de commandes à la fois et, dans un groupe de plusieurs clients, chaque client peut envoyer des commandes à exécuter sur le même objet. Le moteur multimédia de chaque serveur répond aux commandes de traitement multimédia reçues d'un ou plusieurs clients en exécutant les opérations de traitement correspondantes sur les objets multimédia préalablement stockés par un client dans la mémoire du serveur, et le serveur met à la disposition des clients, sur le réseau, les objets multimédia traités.

Title: Apparatus and method for reducing operating voltage in gas discharge devices
Inventor: CHOUTOV DMITRI A
IPC: H01J17/04
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for reducing the voltage necessary to produce a glow discharge in a gas (14). This is done by fabricating the cathode (20) in a gas discharge out of a conductive material that is permeable to the subject gas rather than out of a solid material, as in the prior art. Fabricating the cathode (20) with a permeable material rather than a solid material increases the surface area of the cathode (20) and provides the gas (14) with greater access to the cathode's surface. Increasing the surface area of the cathode (20) increases the total discharge current which can be extracted from the cathode (20) without increasing the extraction voltage.  This allows the gas discharge device to be operated at a lower voltage than is possible using a cathode (20) fabricated of a solid material.

Title: Stress free and thermally stabilized dielectric filter
Inventor: OCKENFUSS GEORG J
IPC: G02B7/00
Filed: 2002-05-16
Abstract: A multilayer optical interference filter having a multiplicity of optical cavities separated by a dielectric reflector stacks to achieve either a very narrow passband region or sharp transition between the passband and reflective region is substantially free of stress to preserve the desired optical performance upon fabrication into miniature discrete filter elements.  The substantial stress reduction is achieved by removing the filter from the substrate used in the deposition process in a controlled manner to preserve the structural integrity of the resulting free standing multilayer film structure. The structure can be further bonded or attached to other optical components to suppress a thermal shift in center wavelength without reintroducing stress or interposing a massive substrate in the optical path through the filter.
