Abstract: The present invention allows the amount of movement indicating the movement of an object within an exposure period to be obtained. An estimated-mixture-ratio processor 401 calculates an estimated mixture ratio for each pixel and an estimated motion vector by a calculation corresponding to a model of a covered background area, and sends the calculated estimated mixture ratio and the calculated estimated motion vector to a mixture-ratio determining portion 403. An estimated-mixture-ratio processor 402 calculates an estimated mixture ratio for each pixel and an estimated motion vector by a calculation corresponding to a model of an uncovered background area, and sends the calculated estimated mixture ratio and the calculated estimated motion vector to the mixture-ratio determining portion 403. The mixture-ratio determining portion 403 sets a mixture ratio and a motion vector according to area information indicating to which of a foreground area, a background area, the covered background area, or the uncovered background area a designated pixel belongs. The present invention can be applied to image processing apparatuses.

Title: Apparatus for combating targets
Inventor: HERRMANN RALF-JOACHIM
IPC: F41G5/12
Filed: 2003-08-14
Granted: 2010-10-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for combating targets (2) within an area to be monitored, comprising a ground-installed aimable launching device (7), a target acquisition device (5) connected to the launching device (7) and at least one missile (14) launchable from the launching device (7). In order to ensure a short reaction time of the apparatus (1) between reception of acoustic target-characteristic signals and launching of the missile (14), and to render the position of the launching and target acquisition devices (7, 5) of such an apparatus (1) incapable of being located, the invention proposes a target acquisition device (5) which determines the target direction of the target (2) to be combated solely by means of passive sensors (10). The missile (14) has a target-seeking homing head (15), so that after the launch in the target direction said homing head (15) autonomously seeks and destroys -the target (2), e.g. by means of an infrared sensor.

Abstract: An extension of a Link Aggregation Protocol (LAP) over the network allows current Ethernet point-to-point LAPs to operate across a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). A maximum disjoint path algorithm allows selection of a plurality of alternative end-to-end physical routes between two data terminals. These physical routes share a minimum number of nodes and physical links. End-to-end logical links are then formed by a plurality of successive physical links between nodes containing protocol compatible devices, the physical links being selected based on their physical characteristics such as bandwidth and delay. Multiple logical links can be provisioned, without dedicating, between any two data terminals over the network. The logical links provide the virtual point-to- point links that the edge LAP devices require. The extension of LAP/s over the network provides increased availability because a network failure can now be propagated to the edge of the network to allow the edge LAP devices to quickly react to the failure.

Abstract: A data-arranging method similar to that of a RAM disk is adopted for a ROM disk to make the ROM disk highly compatible with the RAM disk. According to this method, buffer areas are allocated as a data run-in and a data run-out respectively preceding and succeeding a RUB (Recording Unit Block) used as a recording/reproduction unit. In addition, at locations separated from each other in the buffer areas by a distance equal in length to a sync-data gap in successive frames in the RUB, pieces of sync data (SA) are provided so that the sync data always appears at equal intervals in a signal reproduced from the ROM disk, providing a feature advantageous. to establishment and protection of synchronization. It is thus possible to implement a ROM disk that is highly compatible with the RAM disk and advantageous to a synchronization system.

Granted: 2010-07-06
Abstract: The invention concerns a novel method for ozone treatment of unground plant materials, such as wheat grains. The invention is characterized in that the method consists in allowing the plant material to rest for at least one day after prior hydration, followed by ozonation involving complementary hydration inputting 3 to 10 wt. % of water relative to the plant material dry weight. Said method is in particular applied to wheat grains. In that case, the inventive method enables penetration of ozone into the core of the grains used for making so-called technological flour. The physical and chemical properties of such types of flour observed on the basis of the parameters of the ozonation process are described.
