Patent EP-0859333-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KRAMER ALAN
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1997-02-12
Abstract: The method of coding characters for word recognition in a
word recognition device comprises the steps of: reading a
plurality of known words (19); detecting morphological
similarities between the characters of the alphabet forming
the known words (20-22); associating with each character a
weight (23), by associating morphologically similar
characters with similar weights; and storing the weights in
a data memory of the word recognition device. To detect the
morphological similarity between the characters, a
confusion table is determined, by plotting data relating to
the probability of confusing a character belonging to the
known words with other characters; on the basis of the
confusion table, a similarity graph is determined in which
the characters of the alphabet which can easily be confused
with one another are connected by connection lines; and on
the basis of the similarity graph, an adjacency list is
determined, including the characters of the alphabet
arranged by degree of reciprocal similarity. The weights
are then fixed in such a way that similar weights
correspond to adjacent characters in the adjacency list.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur une raquette à cordes et à poignée (20) dont au moins une partie de la longueur d'au moins certaines cordes (24) est contenue à l'intérieur d'une cavité (28) formée par la poignée de la raquette (26) ou par l'ensemble poignée/manche (118/120). La cavité (28) peut être presque aussi longue que la poignée proprement dite (ou l'ensemble poignée/manche). Les cordes 'longues' (34) sont reliées à au moins un point de connexion à l'intérieur de la cavité (28), chacun de ces points de connexion étant éloigné de l'ouverture de la cavité par une distance correspondant à au moins une demi-longueur de la poignée ou de l'ensemble poignée/manche. Les cordes 'longues' sont disposées en espace libre ou seulement avec un légère obstruction à l'intérieur de la cavité. La distance de leur déplacement par rapport au plan de la raquette pendant les échanges de balles est supérieure à la distance de déplacement que l'on obtient avec les cordes plus courtes qu'elles sont appelées à remplacer. Ceci permet avantageusement une meilleure accumulation d'énergie dans les cordes et le cadre de la raquette, un centre d'impact plus grand, un contact plus long avec la balle, et un retour d'énergie vers la balle tapée à la fois supérieur et de durée plus longue.

Abstract: Die Vorrichtung zum Ergreifen eines Implantats (1) besteht aus einer Adapterhülse (300) und einem Manipulierorgan, wobei die Adapterhülse (300) zur zeitweiligen Verbindung zwischen dem Implantat (1) und dem Manipulierorgan vorgesehen ist. Das erste Ende der Adapterhülse (300) ist auf einen Steckansatz (10) des positionierten Implantats (1) wieder lösbar aufgesteckt; an das zweite Ende der Adapterhülse (300) lässt sich die Spitze des Manipulierorgans wieder lösbar ansetzen. Mit dem Ansetzen des Manipulierorgans an die mit dem Implantat bereits verbundene Adapterhülse (300) hat man das Implantat (1) ergriffen. Somit entsteht eine zweifache Steckverbindung zwischen Implantat (1), Adapterhülse (300) und Manipulierorgan, mit der sich das Implantat (1) quasi berührungslos transferieren lässt. Beim Abziehen des Manipulierorgans vom Implantat (1) löst sich nur die Steckverbindung zwischen dem Implantat (1) und dem Manipulierorgan. Mit besonderem Vorteil ist die Vorrichtung zum Aufbau einer Sterilampulle nutzbar, wodurch sich das Instrumentarium und deren Gebrauch während der Implantation vereinfacht.

Abstract: An anaesthesia control system and a method of calculating an index representative of the depth of anaesthesia is disclosed. The method comprises subjecting a patient to a repetitive audio stimulus and monitoring and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) produced by the patient and then recording these auditory evoked potentials using EEG recording means and providing a signal corresponding to the coarseness of the monitored AEP signal and using this signal as an index indicative of anaesthetic depth. The raw AEP signal is divided into a series of sweeps and each sweep is synchronized with the repetitive audio stimulus and sweeps are recorded in sequence to produce a time averaged sweep from which the anaesthetic index is calculated. The anaesthetic index is constantly updated by repeatedly conducting a successive series of sweeps. The system and index signal can be used as part of an anaesthesia control system for regulating the supply of anaesthetic to the patient to maintain the anaesthetic index at a predetermined level.
