Patent EP-1329850-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TSUJINO HIROSHI
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: An object detection apparatus (10)is provided for
detecting both stationary objects and moving objects
accurately from an image captured from a moving mobile
unit. 
     The object detection apparatus (10) of the present
invention applies Gabor filter to two or more input images
captured by an imaging device (12) such as CCD camera
mounted on a mobile unit, and calculates (2, 3, 4) optical
flow of local areas in the input images. Then the object
detection apparatus closely removes optical flow produced
by motion of the mobile unit by estimating optical flow
produced from background of the input images. In other
words, the object detection apparatus clarifies the area
where object is not present ("ground") in the input images.
By removing such "ground" part, the area where objects
seems to be present ("feature") is extracted from the input
images. Finally, the object detection apparatus (10)
determines (7) whether objects are present or not using
flow information of the extracted "feature" part.

Abstract: A disc cartridge including a disc (D) which is an
information recording medium and a case (103) for
accommodating the disc. The disc cartridge includes at
least one centering spring (130) for preventing deviation
of the disc (D), which is provided with a predetermined
gap outwardly from the outer circumference of the disc in
the case. Thus, a gap in which a disc moves in the disc
cartridge is restricted so that the length in which the
disc clamp contacts the disc clamp guide can be reduced.
Also, the height of the disc clamp is reduced so that the
thickness of the cartridge is reduced and miniaturization
of the disc cartridge is possible.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de sélection pour des paramètres d'entrée, à appliquer à un système de traitement intelligent, tel qu'un réseau neuronal, ou lors de la mise en application d'une opération de traitement de données intensive, telle que l'exploration de données. Le procédé de sélection consiste à produire une indication de l'état d'organisation des paramètres et à sélectionner ces derniers pour les utiliser dans le système de traitement ou l'opération de traitement de données si leur état d'organisation s'avère insuffisant. Si l'état d'organisation des paramètres est estimé insuffisant, leurs diverses influences sont automatiquement déterminées et au moins un paramètre tendant à perturber l'état d'organisation est rejeté. Une indication revue de l'état d'organisation des paramètres restants est alors produite et le procédé de sélection est répété soit jusqu'à la production d'une indication satisfaisante, et les paramètres concernés sont alors appliqués au système de traitement ou à l'opération de traitement de données, soit jusqu'à ce que les paramètres restants soient insuffisants pour produire une indication fiable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un stabilisateur spécialement adapté à l'utilisation avec un train de tiges de forage doté d'un élément de forage excentré, tel qu'un trépan bicentré. Ce stabilisateur comporte deux lames à déplacement circonférentiel, ces lames étant disposées sur un plan circonférentiel commun et s'étendant à partir d'un bras rotatif logé sur le corps du stabilisateur, ainsi qu'une lame stationnaire. Les lames rotatives sont dans l'alignement de la lame stationnaire dans une première orientation circonférentielle, et elles sont situées de sorte que le point médian entre les lames rotatives est en face de la lame stationnaire, assurant ainsi une stabilisation à plein diamètre lorsque les lames rotatives se trouvent dans une deuxième orientation circonférentielle. Un système magnétique sonde l'orientation circonférentielle des lames rotatives et transmet l'information à la surface par télémétrie par impulsions dans la boue. Un piston actionné par la boue de forage bloque les lames rotatives en position active ou passive. Un sabot de frein situé à l'extrémité distale de chaque lame rotative établit le contact avec les parois du trou de forage et sert de cale de support à un capteur de formation.

Abstract: La lumière émise par une petite diode laser est introduite dans l'extrémité distale d'un cathéter, et traverse une fibre optique qui est soit incluse dans une lumière soit incorporée dans la paroi d'un tube de cathéter invasif au cours de sa fabrication. On sélectionne une longueur d'onde de lumière correspondant à un minimum absorbé par un tissu, de préférence, dans une plage comprise entre 620 nm à 1100 nm. On utilise, de préférence, une longueur d'onde de 780 nm correspondant à un niveau d'absorption tissulaire minimum. La lumière sort de l'extrémité de la fibre (au niveau de l'extrémité proximale du cathéter) et traverse le tissu vers l'extérieur de la peau d'un patient. On observe le motif lumineux à l'aide de lunettes de vision nocturne qui éliminent par filtrage d'autres fréquences lumineuses. La lumière détectée permet de localiser l'extrémité de la fibre, la précision positionnelle dépendant de l'épaisseur du tissu entre la pointe de ladite fibre et l'extérieur du corps. Ce procédé est très précis lorsqu'on l'utilise pour de petits enfants et pour des cathéters placés à moins de quelques centimètres de la surface de la peau d'adultes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique d'apprentissage automatique, par exemple dans un réseau neuronal artificiel supervisé, consistant à recevoir des données et à vérifier la dimensionnalité des données lues afin d'améliorer l'efficacité d'apprentissage automatique à l'aide d'une méthodologie d'analyse des composants principaux. Cette technique consiste également à spécifier l'architecture du réseau neuronal et à initialiser des coefficients de pondération afin d'établir une connexion entre les données lues à dimensionnalité réduite pour la prévision de valeurs. Les valeurs estimées sont alors comparées à une valeur seuil d'erreur de système normalisée et les coefficients de pondération sont révisés en fonction du résultat de la comparaison de manière à générer un réseau neuronal d'apprentissage présentant un taux d'erreur réduit dans l'espace de pondération. Le réseau neuronal d'apprentissage est validé à l'aide de valeurs connues, et est alors utilisé pour la prévision de valeurs.

Abstract: Packet communication systems, or networks, are commonly used for the conveyance of information for data applications. The receive rate of incoming packets (130) varies as congestion in the network causes variation in the amount of time for a packet to traverse the network before being placed into the JAB (Jitter Absorption Buffer) (100). The disclosure contains methods for calculating a real time measurement of PDV (Packet Delay Variation). This real time measurement is useful as a metric on the quality of the service provided by the network or as a trigger for dynamic adjustment of the operation of equipment to optimize for current network conditions. More specifically, the disclosure includes a method that uses variations in the buffer depth of the JAB to measure PDV.

Inventor: PONCE ADRIAN
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: A lanthanide is combined with a medium to be tested for endospores. The dipicolinic acid released from the endospores binds the lanthanides, which have distinctive emission (i.e., luminescence) spectra, and are detected using photoluminescence. The concentration of spores is determined by preparing a calibration curve generated from photoluminescence spectra of lanthanide complex mixed with spores of a known concentration. A lanthanide complex is used as the analysis reagent, and is comprised of lanthanide ions bound to multidentate ligands that increase the dipicolinic acid binding constant through a cooperative binding effect with respect to lanthanide chloride. The resulting combined effect of increasing the binding constant and eliminating coordinated water and multiple equilibria increase the sensitivity of the endospore assay by an estimated three to four orders of magnitude over prior art of endospore detection based on lanthanide luminescence.

Abstract: A MEMS system including a fixed electrode (504) and a
suspended moveable electrode (508) that is controllable
over a wide range of motion. In traditional systems where
an fixed electrode (504) is positioned under the moveable
electrode (508), the range of motion is limited because the
support structure supporting the moveable electrode becomes
unstable when the moveable electrode (508) moves too close
to the fixed electrode (504). By repositioning the fixed
electrode (504) from being directly underneath the moving
electrode (508), a much wider range of controllable motion
is achievable. Wide ranges of controllable motion are
particularly important in optical switching applications.
