Patent EP-1479001-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HARS LASZLO
IPC: G06F17/18
Filed: 2003-02-03
Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for testing random numbers generated by a random number generator in real time. As a series of random numbers are generated, a number of bits that have the value of a predetermined logic value at a specific, predefined range of intervals is determined and then applied to an exponential averaging operation (A). Thereafter, it is determined whether the generated random numbers are predictable by comparing the output of all said exponential operations to their predetermined acceptance range.

Title: Systeme de detection d'objets pour vehicule
Inventor: PAWLICKI JOHN A
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système d'imagerie pour véhicule comportant un capteur d'images et un dispositif de traitement. Le capteur saisit des images de scènes extérieures au véhicule et le dispositif de traitement reçoit une image comprenant un ensemble de données d'images représentatives desdites scènes. Le dispositif de traitement peut appliquer un algorithme de détection de bords à un ensemble réduit de données d'image représentatif d'une zone ciblée de l'image saisie. Le traitement peut réduire l'ensemble de données d'image réduites, plus que le reste des données d'image qui sont représentatives de zones de l'image saisie extérieures à la zone ciblée, de manière à détecter les objets présents dans la zone ciblée. Le système d'imagerie peut être associé à un système de détection d'objets latéraux, à un système d'assistance aux changements de voie, à un système d'avertissement de changement de voie, et analogues.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour refermer une ouverture anatomique telle qu'une malformation du septum ou un foramen ovale perméable (FOP). Le dispositif de fermeture présente deux côtés reliés par un élément de liaison intermédiaire. Chaque côté comprend au moins un élément allongé qui est conçu pour former des boucles qui ne se recouvrent pas. Chaque boucle présente au moins un segment à extension radiale qui est adjacent à un segment à extension radiale d'une autre boucle. Au moins dans certains modes de réalisation, au moins une paire de segments à extension radiale adjacents est jointe. Les boucles du dispositif peuvent avoir différentes formes, tailles et configurations, et, au moins dans certains modes de réalisation, les boucles ont des périphéries arrondies. Dans certains modes de réalisation, au moins l'un des côtés comprend un armature à tissu. Lorsque le dispositif de fermeture est déployé in vivo, les deux côtés sont disposés sur des côtés opposés des tissus du septum qui entourent l'ouverture, exerçant ainsi sur les tissus du septum une force de compression qui est répartie à la fois sur la périphérie externe du dispositif de fermeture et sur les segments à extension radiale.

Title: Codage video et technique de codage
Inventor: LAI KING-CHUNG
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques de codage vidéo permettant de réduire le nombre de cycles de traitement et les transferts de mémoire nécessaires au codage d'une séquence vidéo. Ainsi, les techniques de codage vidéo de cette invention peuvent augmenter la vitesse de codage vidéo et réduire la consommation d'énergie. Les techniques de codage vidéo utilisent en général une mémoire candidate mémorisant des blocs vidéo selon des colonnes correspondant à un espace de recherche pour une routine d'estimation de mouvement. Une unité de commande de mémoire réalise l'adressage de la mémoire candidate afin de récupérer de multiples pixels en parallèle en vue d'une comparaison simultanée avec des pixels contenus dans un bloc vidéo à coder, notamment à l'aide des techniques faisant intervenir la somme des différences absolues (SAD) ou la somme des carrés (SSD). Un processeur de différence réalise les calculs parallèles. Par ailleurs, la mémoire candidate peut être mise à jour de manière incrémentielle par le chargement d'une nouvelle colonne de blocs vidéo, plutôt que par le rechargement de l'espace de recherche complet pour des blocs vidéo à coder ultérieurement.

Abstract: A method is provided for carrying out depolymerization of a polymer containing electrophilic linkages in the presence of a catalyst and a nucleophilic reagent, wherein production of undesirable byproducts resulting from polymer degradation is minimized. The reaction can be carried out at a temperature of 80°C or less, and generally involves the use of an organic, nonmetallic catalyst, thereby ensuring that the deploymerization product(s) aer substantially free of metal contaminants. In an exemplary depolymerization method, the catalyst is a carbene compound such as an N-heterocyclic carbene, or is a precursor to a carbene compound. The method provides an important alternative to current recycling techniques such as those used in the degradation of polyesters, polyamides, and the like.

Abstract: A vehicle driveline assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a differential
assembly adapted to transfer torque proportionally between first and second axle
half-shafts. An over-running clutch is adapted to selectively lock the differential
assembly thereby effectively rotationally locking the axle half shafts to one another.
The differential has three modes of operation; an open mode, wherein the differential
is kept un-locked; a locked mode, wherein the differential is kept locked; and an
automatic mode, wherein the differential is locked or un-locked based upon
predetermined operating parameters. A selector switch allows an operator to
selectively place the differential in one of the three modes. An electronic control unit
receives inputs from the vehicle, compares the inputs to pre-determined operating
parameters, and selectively engages or disengages the over-running clutch when
the differential is in the automatic mode.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling the use of a SIM card mounted in a
mobile terminal by employing a fraud protection technology includes comparing data
related to the SIM card received from a network to information read from the SIM
card in the terminal as part of a terminal initialization process and generating a
control signal to cause an RF antenna switch to open or close an RF antenna loop
structure in order to disable or enable a requested SIM card function. The data
received from the network and the information read from the SIM card in the
terminal include subscriber information and transportation card information that allow
a determination of whether a user requesting a SIM card function is the subscriber
entitled to access the function. If the data received from the network and the
information read from the SIM card are identical, the requested SIM card function is
approved. If the data received from the network and the information read from the
SIM card are not identical, the requested SIM card function is not approved. Optional
password protection of SIM card functions may also be provided.

using the first communication scheme with each of the
terminals. When content possessed by a first radio
terminal is transferred to a second radio terminal, first,
permission of transfer of the content to the second radio
terminal is received from a carrier and then, the content
is transferred. After the pay content is transferred to
the second radio terminal, the carrier is informed of
completion of transfer operation. Where the content has a
commercial value, a corresponding fee is paid or charged
automatically to the user of the radio terminals. The
method is useful for distributing commercially valuable and
copyrighted material over the network.
