Title: Systeme et procede d'alignement et de fusion automatique d'images
Inventor: LANE DEREK G
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2000-07-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de fusion automatique de volumes de données d'images tridimensionnelles ("3D"). Ce système et ce procédé consistent à effectuer l'alignement par affichage simultané sur une interface d'utilisateur graphique (GUI), de préférence, deux volumes de données d'images tridimensionnelles et à maintenir en position fixe un de ces volumes de données d'images tridimensionnelles, tandis qu'on peut soumettre l'autre à un échelonnement, une rotation et une translation afin d'aligner les caractéristiques anatomiques homologues. Ce système et ce procédé permettront d'afficher simultanément les images planes axiales, sagittales et coronales d'une zone définie. Ces images planes consisteront en des volumes de données conçus pour qu'un utilisateur du système puisse "tirer" ou "positionner" un volume vers un nouvel emplacement dans une image plane, ce qui mettra également à jour simultanément le volume de données contenu dans les deux autres images planes sans retard apparent. Ce système et ce procédé comprennent également un calcul d'alignement automatique basé sur une maximisation d'information ("MI") réciproque. Ce système et ce procédé alignent les trois dimensions de façon plus efficace et plus rapide que les procédés d'alignement d'images de l'état actuel de la technique.
Patent CA-2380906-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NGO HUNG VIET
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2002-04-05
Abstract: An optical fiber connector for a fiber optic ribbon cable includes a guide boot and a termination plug. The guide boot comprises an outer sleeve or body that defines an inner passageway, and has a first end for receiving the cable and a termination port. The inner passageway is dimensioned to allow a user to insert a cable through the passageway. The body with the inner passageway is used for guiding, bending, and/or twisting the cable. The body is angled at the desired angle (or radius of curvature), such as about 45 degrees or about 90 degrees. The body preferably has an outer diameter that decreases toward the first end. The inner passageway is preferably tapered to allow the cable to twist along the length of the boot without interference. The cable can be inserted into and through the guide boot without any twisting, and the cable can thereafter be twisted or otherwise rotated before the guide boot is connected with the termination plug. The termination plug has a first end to receive the cable and to connect with the guide boot using, for example, a friction fit. Locking tabs are preferably provided in the end to engage the termination port of the guide boot, thereby holding the guide boot in connection with the termination plug.

Title: Private lines traversing a packet network and re-arrangement of channels among packet network connections
Inventor: KLEMM MICHAEL J
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 2000-08-04
Abstract: Techniques for providing communication services include provisioning a packet network connection that has packet channels, each of which is independently capable of carrying narrowband signals so as to emulate a private line circuit. A narrowband private line that traverses the packet network connection using a particular one of the packet channels is established.  Delays that might otherwise be introduced as a result of packetizing the narrowband signals can be reduced. Private lines that traverse the packet network connection using other packet channels can be added or removed without adversely affecting the existing lines. Additionally, a narrowband communication line that traverses a channel in a first virtual circuit connection in a packet network can be rolled over to a channel in a second virtual circuit connection in the packet network. The latter technique can improve the use of available bandwidth and can be applied to non-private line applications as well.

Abstract: The present invention relates to solid state silicon-based condenser microphone systems suitable for batch production. The combination of the different elements forming the microphone system is more flexible compared to any other system disclosed in the prior art. Electrical connections between the different elements of the microphone system are established economically and reliably via a silicon carrier using flip-chip technology. The invention uses an integrated electronic circuit chip, preferably an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which may be designed and manufactured separately and independent of the design and manufacture of the transducer element of the microphone. The complete sensor system can be electrically connected to an external substrate by surface mount technology with the contacts facing one side of the system that is not in conflict with the above-mentioned interface to the environment. This allows the user to apply simple and efficient surface mount techniques for the assembly of the overall system.

Title: Toggleable widget for a user interface
Inventor: COULTHARD PHIL
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: A composite interface widget for toggleable entry fields that minimizes real estate and allows the entry field to toggle between a special kind of input that is either a predefined value or a value specified by the user. The widget presents a local or noninherited state which enables the widget to have an entry field with editing capability; alternatively, the widget offers an inherit state having a read-only entry field that displays a preset input string. The user is given a small concise button or other icon to toggle between the two states. The programmer specifies the initial state, the string to display in the inherit mode, and the initial value for the local or noninherit mode. The programmer can subsequently query if the user chose the inherit mode or chose the local mode and, if so, what local value was entered.
