Abstract: An image processing method is performed by an image supply device storing image data and an image output device performing image processing with respect to the image data which are connected via a communication path through which the image data is communicated. It is confirmed whether an extended function for a predetermined function is valid in both of the image supply device and the image output device. It is generated a control information item including a script for image processing which is described by a markup language, in a case where it is confirmed the extended function is valid. The control information item is communicated between the image supply device and the image output device. An extension tag corresponding to the extended function is inserted into the script while remaining an existing tag corresponding to the predetermined function. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et des procédés permettant d'analyser des données d'un dispositif médical implantable (DMI) et permettant de caractériser des morphologies spécifiques pour les analyser (200, 250, 300, 350). Les formes d'onde d'un électromyogramme (EGM) d'un cycle cardiaque peuvent être regroupées en fonction des similitudes de la forme des formes d'onde, de préférence, au moyen d'algorithmes de regroupement (212). Les formes d'onde peuvent être également regroupées, à un second niveau, en formes d'onde d'électromyogramme (216) similaires chronologiquement contiguës. Des données d'intervalles pour un cycle cardiaque peuvent être également regroupées en fonction de la similitude et de la chronologie (266) des intervalles. Les regroupements d'intervalles et de formes d'onde chronologiquement contiguës peuvent être, à leur tour, regroupés (302). De grandes quantités de données d'électromyogramme sont automatiquement analysées et annotées de manière à concentrer l'attention du cardiologue sur des zones à risques, ce qui permet de réduire l'inspection visuelle des flux sans fin de formes d'onde d'électromyogramme.

Abstract: A power generating system is integrally provided with a gas turbine engine and a solid electrolyte type fuel cell. A compressor wheel, a turbine wheel, a heat exchanger and a burner of the gas turbine engine and the solid electrolyte type fuel cell are of axially symmetric shapes having a common axis of a rotary section comprising the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel. The heat exchanger and the solid electrolyte type fuel cell are disposed sequentially on one side in a direction of the axis with respect to the rotary section. This layout ensures that the entire power generating system can be compactly constructed, and further the flow rates of compressed air and exhaust gas can be made uniform, and the flows of the compressed air and the exhaust gas can be smoothened, thereby reducing the pressure loss and enhancing the power generating efficiency.

Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for automated testing of a patient's hearing. The automated hearing test allows the patient to quickly and accurately test his own hearing with minimal or no assistance from an audiologist or other hearing health professionals. The test prompts and instructs the patient for inputs and responses as needed. The patient can select one or several tests to be performed, including air and bone conduction testing with masking, speech reception threshold, speech discrimination, tympanogram, acoustic reflex, and otoacoustic emissions testing. Multiple languages are supported. Data obtained from one test may be used for another test or another iteration of the same test to calculate masking levels. The automatic hearing test also detects ambient noise and can compensate for it in the test results. If a contingency occurs, the automated hearing test is configured to page the operator for assistance.

Abstract: The cylinder lock is comprised of a cylinder housing ( 10.1 ) and of a cylinder core ( 20.1 ), which is mounted therein and which accommodates spring-loaded plate-shaped tumblers ( 31.1 ) that can be longitudinal placed therein. The plate longitudinal edges ( 30.1, 30.2 ) of the tumblers are then guided on guiding surfaces ( 21.1, 22.1 ) inside the cylinder core ( 20.1 ). The tumblers ( 31.1 ) have control edges ( 41.1 ) placed at defined heights ( 45 ). The aim of the invention is to render the cylinder lock not only burglar-proof, but to also ensure a reliable protection against the loss of tumblers. To this end, the invention firstly provides that a cam ( 36.1 ) having a least one pair of flanks ( 37.1, 38.1 ) is placed either on one plate longitudinal edge ( 30.1 ) of the tumblers ( 31.1 ) or on the guiding surface in the cylinder core facing said plate longitudinal edge. The invention also provides that a cutout ( 26.1 ) is made either on the cylinder core ( 20.1 ) next to its cavity ( 23.1 ) for tumbler ( 31.1 ) or the cutout is made on the tumbler itself on its plate longitudinal edge facing the cam. Said cutout has at least one pair of mating flanks ( 27.1, 28.1 ) and is opposite the cam-side flanks ( 37.1, 38.1 ). The flanks and mating flanks ( 27.1, 37.1 ) function as a stop and counter sop for concealing the actual position of the control edges. At the same time, at least one flank and mating flank ( 27.1, 37.1 ) provide for a protection against the loss of tumblers, which provides for a holding together of the modular unit, which consists of the spring-loaded ( 13.1 ) tumblers ( 31.1 ) and of the cylinder core ( 20.1 ), even when the modular unit is located outside of the cylinder housing ( 10.1 ).
