Patent EP-1113398-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAVIES KENNETH P
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 2000-11-30
Abstract: Methods and computer readable media generate a page file representing a compact
disc label sheet having label blanks thereon for one or both of a compact disc case or a
compact disc. The sheet may have a label for one or both of the compact disc case and the
compact disc. The method provides such sheet, wherein the sheet supports the labels at
any of a plurality of locations. The sheet with the labels supported at particular locations
define a particular geometric layout configuration. One or more images may also be on
the sheet. Operations of the method optically accent the particular configuration, and
then scan the optically accented configuration to generate a digital representation of the
sheet. All of the images are then excluded from the digital representation so that the
remaining digital representation represents only the labels. The remaining digital
representation is analyzed to determine the location on the sheet of the labels. A new
page file is created to represent the compact disc label sheet having the labels. The page
file includes data as to the location on the sheet of the labels. Using the method, and
computer readable media having program instructions for performing the method, a user
may buy such sheets for which the user's label printing software has no corresponding
page file, yet the user need not manually measure the locations of the labels that are on
the purchased new sheet to provide label location data, and the user need not enter any
label location data into a page file provided by the software.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine is operated on auto-ignition
combustion of fuel with low cetane number like gasoline. The
engine has at least one cylinder and a reciprocating piston in the
cylinder to define a combustion chamber. Combustion event in
the cylinder is expressed in terms of two variables. They are
main combustion timing (50) and a main combustion period
(20-50). The main combustion timing (50) represents a crank
position when mass burnt rate is 50 percent. The main
combustion period (20-50) represents a period from a crank
position when mass burnt is 20 percent to a crank position when
mass burnt is 50 percent. Controlled parameters governing
main combustion are varied to adjust the main combustion
timing on an advance side of a retard limit (50max) and to
adjust the main combustion period within a range between an
upper limit (20-50max) and a lower limit (20-50min).

Abstract: A device is described, designed to improve combustion efficiency in
internal combustion engines, by using means which heat the fuel during its
transfer from the fuel tank to the parts that introduce it into the engine. 
     In particular it is a device comprising induction devices which heat the fuel
conveyed to the engine, that consist of a coil powered with electrical
current, and that the said coil is wound round a metal pipe through which
the fuel to be heated passes. 
     The positive electrical pole is preferably located on the fuel input side. 
     This improves the efficiency of the engine, presumably as a result of
polarisation phenomena which improve the combustion processes, and
moreover a considerable reduction in carbon monoxide emissions was
found.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus for laser-induced hyperthermis or photodynamic therepy, more particularly to an apparatus combining an optical fiber with a laser lucent needle. 
     As is well known, lasers produce an intense beam of electromagnetic radiation of high spectral purity which can be collimated to a fine degres with high radiation densities, small angular divergences, and long coherence length. Such properties make lasers particularly attractive for a variety of medical uses. 
     The use of lasers to induce hyperthermia in tissue involves the insertion of an optical fiber into tissue. Without any additional protection, the fiber must be able to withstand insertion and withdrawal forces without fracturing or shedding material. Any accident during hyperthermia which leaves behind material which may not be easily retrieved could be disastrous.

Abstract: A durable part marking is achieved by local surface material modification.
Selected surface area properties of the part are altered without substantial
alteration of the physical configuration of the part (102). The alterations (106-114)
are placed in a coherent pattern (104) accomplishing a durable method of
identification marking on a part. Subsequently, the coherent pattern is detected
and the coherent pattern interpreted to retrieve the original identification marking.
Unlike labeling, ink marking, stamping or etching, many surface or near-surface
modifications are not necessarily visible to the human eye. Hence, the invention
includes: 1) a method for surface modification, 2) a method for assuring
enhanced readability and accuracy of the read back of the encoded data, and 3)
a method for locating the surface alteration.
