Abstract: L'invention concerne un revêtement de sol élastique pour des installations résidentielles, commerciales et sportives couvertes et à ciel ouvert. Ce revêtement comprend un sous-plancher élastique constitué d'un produit propylène expansé (EPP), pouvant être posé directement sur le sol ou sur une autre surface de sous-plancher dans une disposition d'aplanissage ne nécessitant pas de fixation au sol, ou sur une autre surface de sous-plancher, et un matériau de revêtement de sol appliqué sur le sous-plancher élastique comme revêtement. Ce revêtement de sol convient au surfaçage de planchers, au surfaçage de surfaces sportives et aux revêtements de sol décoratifs et de surfaces sportives. Il est en outre sélectionné dans le groupe constitué par un revêtement de bois dur, des carreaux et des panneaux de revêtement en plastique et/ou en caoutchouc synthétique, des carreaux et des panneaux de revêtements en caoutchouc, des revêtements en bois stratifiés, des moquettes résidentielles ou commerciales, des revêtements en caoutchouc granulaire, des revêtements en EPDM (terpolymère d'éthylene-propylène), des revêtements de polyuréthane, et tout autre revêtement approprié. Le revêtement obtenu absorbe les chocs et isole du bruit et de la chaleur. De plus, il est imperméable à l'eau, léger, solide, moins cher et plus facile à poser que les autres systèmes de revêtements en raison de l'absence des composants multiples requis par les systèmes de revêtements antérieurs.

Patent CA-2435540-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROADY GEORGE VINCENT
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2003-07-17
Abstract: Customer activity (especially activity on Internet web sites) is monitored in correspondence to a product or other entity, in order to enable a forecast of future "consumption" of the product or entity. (Consumption may be the sale, rental, use, viewing or interest in the product or other entity.) First, the monitoring method includes gathering activity information that characterizes the activity of the customers with reference to the entity. Then, the gathered activity information is mapped to a psychographic profile that represents a level of interest of the customers as a function of corresponding phases of a consumption cycle. Finally, the mapped activity information as well as control information (which may include product metadata, customer data, product contextual data) are processed to formulate the forecast of future consumption of the entity. The "product" being monitored may be a physical product, an electronic product such as a computer game or downloadable file, an abstract concept, or a group or category of any of these products.  Because the customer activity can be measured and analyzed in near real time, product consumption forecasts are quickly delivered; and use of the control information increases the effective intelligence of the mapping and processing processes, rendering more accurate product consumption forecasts.

Title: Method of detecting and segmenting characteristics areas in a picture, and use of the method
Inventor: THOMSEN KNUD
IPC: G06V10/26
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: In a method of detecting and segmenting characteristic regions in an image, such as a colour image having characteristic regions, where the image is represented by a plurality of pixel values expressed in grey tones, a circle of radius r is defined for a plurality of pixel positions, which radius approximated is regarded as the radius of a characteristic region. The optim um value of radius r is determined by calculating, for a large number of possib le values of r, the difference between the characteristic grey tone value of an outer zone having the radius range r1 to qr1 (=r2), where q is a constant, a nd the characteristic grey tone value of an inner zone having the radius range 0 to r1. Then the radius r1 providing the greatest difference is selected as t he radius of the object. Further, the radius of the characteristic region is adjusted by an adjustment factor, and finally the characteristic region is divided into sectors, each of which is again subjected to a grey tone analysis, as mentioned above, following which the characteristic region is changed from being circular to being non-circular. The invention allows a ve ry high degree of detail information of e.g. images that show cell cores in ver y small dimensions.
