Inventor: DELAGE JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 2010-05-19
Abstract: The device (1) has a part i.e. closing cap (10), rotating with respect to another part i.e. container (2), around a longitudinal axis. The cap has a flexible tab (16) formed in a thickness of tubular skirt (14) of the cap. The container has a relief (8). The tab and the relief are arranged to cooperate with each other so that rotation of the cap relative to the container causes the tab to cross the relief by bending with a flexion component parallel to the axis. The tab crosses the relief to produce a tactile sensation to be felt by a user.

Abstract: The method involves measuring pressure in a common rail, and determining fuel injection time (t) required for injecting mass (m) of fuel using a continuous physical model and measured pressure. The fuel is injected via an injector during the injection time. Evolution of the injector is considered during the injection time by determining mass (m') of really injected fuel. The continuous physical model is calibrated such that the injector permits injection of the fuel when the mass of the really injected fuel is different from the mass of the fuel to be injected.

Abstract: A method for video encoding using geometry adaptive block partitioning is described. 
     The method comprises the steps of using a current video image for determining a spatio-temporal gradient image, using the determined spatio-temporal gradient image for estimating occurrence frequencies of block partitioning parameter pairs; selecting a predetermined number of block partitioning parameter pairs, the selected block partitioning parameter pairs being the most frequent occurring block partitioning parameter pairs; and encoding blocks of the current video image using one of the selected block partitioning parameter pairs. 
     Since the estimates of occurrence frequencies are determined using a spatio-temporal gradient image determined using the current video image, the parameter pairs dynamically pre-selected as available for encoding of the current video image are adapted to moving object boundaries depicted in the current video image. In encoding of boundaries of moving objects, geometry adaptive block partitioning provides the most encoding gain.
