Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an information processor that is
controlled by a general-purpose operating system, and an image processor.
The information processor performs a function in a category different from an
image processing function performed in the image processor. As a result, a
general purpose application program can be used as software for making
effective use of the image processing function. Therefore, it is possible to
facilitate development of the software to allow the image processing apparatus
to perform the function in a category different from the image processing
function performed in the image processor, in addition to the image processing
function as a basic function.

IPC: H04N5/58
Filed: 2004-08-05
Abstract: A method and system for automatically adjusting a backlight intensity level for
displays is disclosed. The system and method are implemented in electronic
devices having a camera and digital backlight displays, such that the camera is
used to determine an ambient light level and the backlight level is adjusted
according to the determined ambient light level. In particular, when the camera
is not in use for capturing images by the user, the automatic backlight
adjustment system captures a first image with the camera to determine an initial
ambient light level, and then captures a second image with the camera at a later
time to determine a subsequent ambient light level. The subsequent and initial
ambient light levels are compared to each other and the backlight intensity
level is either increased or decreased a predetermined amount for optimal
viewing and low power consumption. Backlight intensity determination can be
performed on the basis of a single image instead of a differential between two
images.

Abstract: Apparatus for scanning a moving object includes a visible waveband sensor 12 oriented to collect a series of images of the object as it passes through a field of view 16. An image processor 14 uses the series of images to form a composite image. The image processor 14 stores image pixel data for a current image and a predecessor image in the series. It uses information in the current image and its predecessor to analyse images and derive likelihood measures indicating probabilities that current image pixels correspond to parts of the object. The image processor 14 estimates motion between the current image and its predecessor from likelihood weighted pixels. It generates the composite image from frames positioned according to respective estimates of object image motion. Image motion may alternatively be detected by a speed sensor such as a Doppler radar 200 sensing object motion directly and providing image timing signals.

Abstract: Transmission blocks (B00,..., B110; B01,..., B111; B02, , B112; B03, , B113) are sent to a mobile radio device to be tested. The mobile radio device to be tested receives and evaluates the transmission blocks. The mobile radio device to be tested transmits a first and a second qualifier ( lack , nack ), respectively, for every transmission block correctly or not correctly evaluated. The number of transmission blocks that were sent to the mobile radio device to be tested and that could not be correctly evaluated by the mobile radio device to be tested is determined. An error rate is determined from the number of not correctly evaluated transmission blocks, the number of transmission blocks (B00, B30, B60, B90, B01, B11, B51, B101, B02, B52, B102, B13, B33, B53, B73, B93) being variably set by multiblocks (20, 21, 22, 23) that address the mobile radio device to be tested between one transmission block per multiblock (20, 21, 22, 23) and all transmission blocks of the multiblock (20, 21, 22, 23), and one multiblock (20, 21, 22, 23) comprising a fixed number of transmission blocks (B00, , B110, B01, B111, etc.).

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un médiateur électrochimique permettant de transférer des électrons à partir d'une électrode vers des molécules d'une enzyme métabolisant les médicaments (DME), oxydante et d'origine mammalienne, en solution. L'invention se rapporte en particulier à la mise en oeuvre de bioanalyse permettant de déterminer le métabolisme d'un médicament candidat au moyen de ladite DME. Le transfert des électrons par le médiateur est effectué en l'absence d'une enzyme réductase pour les molécules de DME. Le médiateur est en solution avec les molécules de DME et/ou immobilisé sur l'électrode. Lorsque le médiateur est immobilisé sur l'électrode, ceci peut former une couche protectrice sur l'électrode et permettre la réduction ou la prévention de la dénaturation des molécules de DME par contact direct avec l'électrode. L'invention se rapporte également aux électrodes et aux chambres de réaction électrochimique pouvant être utilisées dans ces bioanalyses.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le modèle d'utilisation qui fait normalement partie de nombreuses applications logicielles et qui consiste à définir des ensembles d'objets sur la base des attributs des objets. L'invention décrit un langage de définition d'ensembles spécifiquement conçu pour définir des ensembles, appelé SDL, ainsi qu'un système logiciel qui met efficacement en oeuvre ce langage par-dessus un système standard de gestion de banques de données relationnelles (RDBMS). Les caractéristiques uniques du langage SDL sont les contraintes implicites appliquées aux données relationnelles qui appartiennent aux objets. Une caractéristique unique du système SDL sont aussi les métadonnées logiques de dimensions qui permettent au système SDL d'appliquer ces contraintes par-dessus les relations. Le système SDL utilise plusieurs techniques d'optimisation pour permettre sa mise en oeuvre efficace par-dessus un système RDBMS. L'invention montre également comment le langage SDL et le langage SQL peuvent fusionner avec une inclusion par référence bidirectionnelle en utilisant des éléments logiques syntaxiques. L'invention concerne également des outils de composition de consultations qui facilitent la création d'expressions en langage SDL.
