Patent EP-1098257-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIROIKE TAKAAKI
IPC: G16B15/00
Filed: 2000-11-06
Abstract: The present invention discloses a structural local
alignment method for proteins using a double dynamic
programming algorithm enabling carrying out proper alignment
of not only those proteins having a partially similar
structure, which proteins are not similar to one another in
terms of overall structure, but also those proteins in
circular permutation one another. The alignment method of the
invention is devised to maintain constant presentation of the
structural environments even when an exchange between the N-terminal
and C-terminal regions takes place. To this end,
upon determination of a structural environment at amino acid
residue i, N-terminal and C-terminal vector sets are
established independently, the N-terminal vectors being
apposed in order of amino acid residue No., and the C-terminal
vectors being apposed in order of amino acid residue
No.

Abstract: A fuel dispensing system includes vapour flow and hydrocarbon concentration sensors 54
positioned in a vapour line, normally the vapour recovery line 34, to provide accurate
feedback relating to the flow rate and concentration of hydrocarbon laden vapour recovered
by a vapour recovery system. The sensors provide diagnostic information about the vapour
recovery process as well as ensuring that the vapour recovery process is carried out in an
efficient manner. The sensors may be positioned in an underground storage tank vent
apparatus 42 to monitor fugitive emissions from the underground storage tank.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de régulation de la puissance d'émission d'un système de radiocommunication, de préférence un système de relais hertziens. Afin d'établir un mécanisme de régulation de la puissance, qui puisse prendre en compte les divers phénomènes modifiant la performance de la connexion radio, et agir sur la dégradation de la qualité des signaux avant que ne se produisent des erreurs binaires, les pseudo-erreurs, c'est-à-dire des instants de prise de décision auxquels une erreur de symbole a failli se produire, sont surveillées à l'extrémité de réception. La puissance d'émission est ainsi réduite lorsque le taux de pseudo-erreurs est inférieur à un seuil prédéfini et augmentée lorsque des pseudo-erreurs se produisent, afin de satisfaire à un critère prédéterminé.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention carries out color conversion of first image data expressed by a first color system into second image data expressed by a second color system. The procedure first collects multiple adjoining pixels of the first image data into one block, and calculates a tone difference of the first image data in the block based on the first image data of the respective pixels. When the calculated tone difference is less than a preset value, procedure carries out collective color conversion without discrimination of the respective pixels included in the block. This enables the high-speed color conversion When the calculated tone difference is not less than the preset value, on the other hand, the procedure carries out color conversion by a unit of each pixel included in the block. This prevents deterioration of the picture quality. The technique of the invention thus ensures the high-speed color conversion without deteriorating the picture quality. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An intravascular stent (208) especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portions (210).
The stent (208) retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent (208) is formed of
intertwined meander patterns (301,312) forming triangular cells (500). The triangular cells (500) are
adapted to provide radial support, and also to provide longitudinal flexibility after
expansion. The triangular cells (500) provide increased coverage of a vessel wall. The
stent (208) can have different portions adapted to optimize radial support or to optimize
longitudinal flexibility. Loops (304,306,316,318,320,322) in the stent are disposed and adapted to cooperate,
so that after expansion of said stent (208) within a curved lumen (210), the stent (208) is curved and
cells (500) on the outside of the curve (210) open in length, but narrow in width, whereas cells (500)
on the inside of the curve (210) shorten in length, but thicken in width to maintain a
density of the stent element area which is much more constant than otherwise
between the inside and outsidc of the curve. As a result, when the stent is coated
with a medicine, the more constant density of stent elements results in an even
dose being applied to the inside wall of the lumen.

Abstract: A method of providing composition evaluation of an image comprises analysing an composed image in accordance with one or more predefined composition rules and providing a report or warning signal if one or more of those compositional rules have been contravened. The analysis includes identifying regions of compositional significance within the image and applying the composition rules to those regions. The compositional rules may include well known photographic composition rules such as the 'rule of thirds', ensuring that there are no large expanses of foreground or background with little or no regions of significance within them, and ensuring that the edge of the composed image does not bisect any regions of significance. The method of image evaluation may be incorporated within an image capture system such as an electronic still camera, a video camera, or a conventional optical camera such that indications concerning the composition of the image may be provided to the camera user prior to actually capturing the image. This is particularly advantageous to inexperienced camera users.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic creation of an electronic
telephone directory uses intelligent automatic recognition of whether a
telephone number is considered by the user as an important one or not. A
telephone number is recognized to be an important one when certain user
actions or situations relating to this telephone number occur. These include
calling back a Caller ID number repeatedly or a certain number of times within
a certain time period, receiving the same Caller ID number repeatedly within a
certain time period, manually dialing a number that matches one of those in
the memories; or, during a Caller ID on Call Waiting, exercising options like
dropping the existing call and switching to the new caller, etc. Once a
telephone number is determined to be an important one based on these
criteria, the number is automatically stored into a permanent memory that is
the electronic directory
