Patent EP-1143716-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TOPPER ROBERT JOSEPH
IPC: G09G5/391
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: Progressive-scan video signals that are generated from interlaced-scan
video signals by interpolation may be subject to temporal distortion when the interstitial
interpolated lines have a different time reference than the interlaced lines. This
distortion may be mitigated by detecting vertical low-frequency spatial distortion in an
interpolated video signal and by generating a compensating signal that, when added to
the interpolated video signal reduces that vertical low-frequency spatial distortion. A
spatial low-pass filter is applied to corresponding pixels of several adjacent lines of the
current field of the original interlaced image. Concurrently, a spatial low-pass filter is
applied to corresponding pixels of several interpolated lines that are inserted between
the lines of the interlaced image to produce the progressive image. At each pixel
position, the low-pass filtered values are compared. If the difference between the low-pass
filtered values exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a value approximately
equal to the difference between the original pixels and the interpolated pixels is added to
the interpolated pixel.

Abstract: In an optical amplifier evaluation instrument, a
rectangular spectrum light source 1 transmits continuous light
having a wide-band and flat spectrum shape, a first optical
modulator 2 receives and pulse-modulates the continuous light.
Further, a second optical modulator 3 operates in the same period
as the first optical modulator 2 and performs the on/off pulse
operation, thereby providing a sampling window in a time domain
for extracting and suppressing an optical signal. Amodulation
signal generation section 4 performs such control and drive.
An optical signal undergoing pulse intensity modulation is input
to a measured optical amplifier 6. Post-amplified signal light
power for each frequency component and amplified spontaneous
emission power for each frequency component in a time domain
in which no optical pulse signal exists are measured and
operations are performed for each wavelength.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for
ensuring that secure factoring can be given to a seller
system in exchange for confirmed accounts receipts. The
accounts receivables may comprise orders for goods (63),
which may be merchandise or a service. The confirmation is
made by a post system (80), which acts as an intermediary
between the seller system (60) and the purchaser (70) as well
as between the seller system (60) and a financial institution
(100) from which the factoring originates. The purchase may
be a client system (70). The post system (80) confirms with
the client system (70) ordering and identification
information (71). When the post system (80) has sufficient
confirmation, it sends a release message (83) to the
financial institution (100) to release factoring (69) to the
seller system (60). In the event a good is returned by the
purchaser, the good is sent to the post system (80) that may
either sell the good through other avenues (85) or return the
good to the seller system (60). The post (80) further
notifies (83) the financial institution (100) about the
returned good and future factoring is limited. In addition,
the post system (80) notifies the seller system (60) about
the return.

Les cartes de paiement dynamiques peuvent être des cartes de paiement traditionnelles dotées de paramètres de commande qui sont gérés de manière dynamique. Un système de gestion de cartes dynamiques peut en outre établir automatiquement une interface avec des systèmes de processeur de cartes pour modifier de manière dynamique ces paramètres de commande. Un système de gestion d'achats ou autre moteur de flux de travaux de demandes et d'autorisations peut fournir une interface entre une entreprise et le système de gestion de cartes dynamiques. D'une façon plus générale, une solution avantageuse de gestion des achats consiste à utiliser de manière dynamique ou active les paramètres d'autorisation gérés pour aider à commander les déterminations d'autorisation de transactions associées à des mécanismes d'achat. Ces paramètres d'autorisation dynamiques peuvent être générés et/ou gérés par l'application de politiques et de règles d'achat configurables d'entreprises, et ces paramètres d'autorisation dynamiques peuvent être stockés, p. ex., par un système de traitement qui établit des déterminations d'autorisation lorsque des transactions sont lancées au moyen des mécanismes d'achat.

Abstract: The technology is based on the anisotropic plasma etching of organic polymer sheets partially protected by a metallic mask. The originality of the process is to pattern the surface properties by the same physical means as the one used for the three dimensional fabrication and simultaneously to this fabrication. Surface properties means, but are not limited to hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, conductivity, reflectability, rugosity and more precisely the chemical and/or physical state of the surface. It is also possible to generate the desired fonctionalities, for instance carboxylic acid, ester, ether, amid or imid, during the etching process. The patterning of the different properties may be achieved by two different techniques that may be used separately or simultaneously.
