Title: Methode et dispositif permettant de localiser un enregistrement desire dans un repertoire telephonique
Inventor: RAHRER TIMOTHY JOSEPH
IPC: H04M1/2746

Granted: 2003-01-21
Abstract: Méthode et dispositif visant à repérer un enregistrement désiré parmi beaucoup d'autres dans un répertoire téléphonique, impliquant une association de champ de fréquence avec chaque enregistrement, le champ de fréquence servant à stocker des paramètres de fréquence. Un champ de caractéristiques, visant à stocker une représentation caractéristique d'au moins une caractéristique identifiable d'un rendu associé à un enregistrement, est aussi associé à chaque enregistrement. Une représentation d'entrée d'un rendu supposé identifier l'enregistrement désiré est produite, puis comparée au contenu des champs de caractéristiques d'une partie au moins des enregistrements. Les paramètres de base, représentant chacun une probabilité respective de coïncidence entre l'enregistrement respectif et l'enregistrement recherché, sont attribués aux enregistrements respectifs. Après quoi, les enregistrements sont classés en fonction de la première et seconde correspondance la plus exacte. Les champs de fréquence des enregistrements comprenant les premier et second paramètres de base sont alors lus et l'enregistrement assorti du paramètre de fréquence le plus exact est identifié comme étant l'enregistrement recherché. Les codes d'instruction stockés dans le support mémoire lisible par un ordinateur peuvent servir à configurer un GPC pour mettre à profit cette méthode.

Abstract: A method is disclosed whereby the concentration of a blood substitute, such as cross-linked hemoglobin, in a serum or plasma specimen is rapidly and accurately identified and quantified. The method further takes the measured concentration of the blood substitute and uses it to correct for its effect, if any, on a measured analyte concentration, e.g., serum/plasma total protein. Further, the method allows for the determination of the concentration of true hemoglobin in the presenc e of blood substitutes. The method is carried out in respect of samples contained in a primary or secondary labelled tube, or a pipette tip used to dispense serum or plasma in a blood analyzer.

Abstract: A soil opener system is described which is capable of providing multiple ranges of downpressure so as to accommodate the varying field conditions likely to be encountered. The downpressure assembly includes plural springs having different spring constants in series to bias a planting tool toward the ground. Dual or multiple ranges of downpressure are selectable by setting the amount of precompression of the spring assembly. The assembly allows the planting tool to pivot relative to the implement frame to follow contours of the ground while being biased toward the ground. The working position of the tool is maintained by a gauge wheel adjacent a disc furrow opener, which gauge wheel also acts as a disc cleaning mechanism.

Abstract: A pneumatic suspension system for a vehicle providing minimum pneumatic spring stiffness to minimize frame beaming in the vehicle' frame. In one embodiment of the invention, the pneumatic suspension system has a first pneumatic spring connected to a first axle and to the frame. A second pneumatic spring is connected to the second axle and to the frame. The first and second pneumatic springs contain pneumatic fluid. A conduit containing pneumatic fluid is in fluid communication with the first and second pneumatic springs. The conduit allows the fluid to move between the first and second pneumatic springs. The pneumatic fluid in the conduit has a fluid resonant frequency. The first and second pneumatic springs and the conduit define a system having a variable stiffness dependent upon an input vibration frequency. The input vibration frequency is a predetermined fraction of the fluid resonant frequency. The pneumatic conduit is sized so the predetermined fraction of the fluid resonant frequency corresponds to the frame beaming frequency, thereby providing minimum stiffness of the system at the frame beaming frequency.

Abstract: A straw chopper for a combine harvester having a chopper housing mounted to a combine for rotation about a transverse axis. The housing is movable from a chopping position, in which the chopper receives straw from the separator of the combine and chops and spreads the straw over a wide area, to a rearwardly raised windrowing position, in which straw falls from the combine to the ground in front of the chopper housing. By rotating the housing rearward and upward, increased access into the rear of the combine is possible. An electric motor driven lift actuator is provided to raise the chopper housing to the windrowing position where a mechanical latch locks the housing to the combine structure.

Abstract: To improve the prediction of wait times of calls waiting to be processed, or to improve the prediction of completion times of calls that are presently being processed, in low-volume call centers or splits/skills, additional data points are created - either manually or automatically - during the processing of each call that is presently being processed, for use in effecting wait-time estimates of the waiting calls. At each of the plurality of points in the processing of each of the plurality of calls, information about the call that is relevant to how long completion of the processing of the call is likely to take is obtained. This information is applied to historical information about previously-processed calls to estimate how long completion of the processing of each of those calls is likely to take, i.e., how long it will be before the agents who are processing those calls become available to handle the waiting calls. The estimated times are then used as the predicted wait times of that plurality of the waiting calls. The technique is applicable to workflow management in general.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for maintaining the pressure of a well fluid sample as the sample is transported to the well surface from a downhole wellbore location. The invention collects a formation fluid sample under pressure. The fluid sample is further pressuriz ed with a traveling piston powered by the hydrostatic wellbore pressure. The pressurized formation flui d sample is contained under high pressure within a fixed volume chamber for retrieval to the well surface.

Title: Node structure for representing 3-dimensional objects using depth image
Inventor: ZHIRKOV ALEXANDER OLEGOVICH
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2002-11-27
Granted: 2012-01-17
Abstract: A family of node structures for representing 3-dimensional objects using depth image are provided. These node structures can be adopted into MPEG-4 AFX for conventional polygonal 3D representations. Main formats of the family are Depthlmage, PointTexture and Octreelmage. Depthlmage represents an object by a union of its reference images and corresponding depth maps. PointTexture represents the object as a set of colored points parameterized by projection onto a regular 2D grid. Octreelmage converts the same data into hierarchical octree-structured voxel model, set of compact reference images and a tree of voxel-image correspondence indices. Depthlmage and Octreelmage have animated versions, where reference images are replaced by videostreams. DIBR formats are very convenient for 3D model construction from 3D range-scanning and multiple source video data. MPEG-4 framework allows construction of a wide variety of representations from the main DIBR formats, providing flexible tools for effective work with 3D models. Compression of the DIBR formats is achieved by application of image (video) compression techniques to depth maps and reference images (videostreams).
