Inventor: ERIKSON KENNETH R
IPC: G01S15/89
Filed: 2002-08-14
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un système de détection sous-marine d'objets totalement ou partiellement enterrés, tels que les mines marines et les câbles sous-marins, lequel système comprend une plate-forme sous-marine mobile équipée d'une caméra acoustique tridimensionnelle en temps réel dont le champ de vision est orienté vers le bas, laquelle caméra, utilisée comme interféromètre d'imagerie, est reliée à un émetteur acoustique basse fréquence haute intensité conçu pour agiter les particules meubles ou les matières élastiques du plancher océanique se trouvant dans le champ de vision de la caméra. Les images enregistrées par la caméra font apparaître le déplacement relatif des matériaux du plancher océanique avant et après une impulsion acoustique par rapport au déplacement moins important voire non existant d'objets solides submergés. On peut distinguer les objets artificiels des objets naturels en repérant les formes géométriques visibles dans la densité d'une image variable, pas communes dans la nature.

Abstract: Two computer systems in a network each have a local store that contains a copy of a
data item that is to be synchronized. One of the computer systems may be, for example, a
mobile device while the other may be a synchronization server. In order to determine
whether to synchronize a data item, and what synchronization mechanism to use, one of the
computer systems references a flexible set of rules that may be influenced by instructions
from a network administrator or a mobile device user. The flexible set of rules takes into
consideration the value of the data, the cost associated with synchronization, the security of
the synchronization mechanisms, the security of the mobile device, as well as the location of
the mobile user in dictating whether and how to synchronize.

Abstract: A system and method for cardiac
mapping and ablation include a
multi-electrode catheter introduced percutaneously
into a subject's heart and deployable
adjacent to various endocardial
sites. The electrodes are connectable to
a mapping unit, an ablation power unit, a
pacing unit, all of which are under computer
control. Intracardiac electrogram
signals emanated from a tachycardia site
of origin are detectable by the electrodes.
Their arrival times are processed to generate
various visual maps to provide real-time
guidance for steering the catheter
to the tachycardia site of origin. In another
aspect, the system also includes a
physical imaging system which is capable
of providing different imaged physical
views of the catheter and the heart.
These physical views are incorporated
into the various visual maps to provide a
more physical representation. Once the
electrodes are on top of the tachycardia
site of origin, electrical energy is supplied
by the ablation power unit to effect
ablation.

Abstract: By setting the direction of arrangement of a
fine structure grating, it is possible to reduce
influence of the structural birefringence of a fine
structure grating provided on an optical surface in a
scanning optical system to provide a scanning optical
system having good optical properties that is not
depend on the polarization state of an incident light
flux and to provide an image forming apparatus using
the same. In the scanning optical system, a light
flux emitted from a laser light source 1 is deflected
by deflecting means and the light flux having been
deflected by the deflecting means is imaged by
scanning optical means 6 onto a surface 7 to be
scanned so as to scan the surface to be scanned. The
scanning optical means has at least one optical
surface that has a fine structure grating 8 having a
grating pitch smaller than the wavelength of the
light flux emitted from said laser light source. The
direction of arrangement of the fine structure
grating is the same all over the surface of the fine
structure grating.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a distribution for the four-stroke engines,
made up of guillotine valves (1) parallely placed to the axis of the cylinder (9) and over the
heading, or horizontally placed to this last one. The valves (1) move in a rectilinear and
reciprocating motion. 
     There is the possibility to inject the fuel pratically to the inside of
the cartridge chamber, when the suction-valve is lightly opened, and to cool completely the
heading that, free from valves and conduits, can fully be crossed by the freezing-liquid. 
In a variant, they could also be horizontally placed on the top of the heading. 
They can also be two for each conduit and both mobile. 
Their task is to vary the diameter and the section of the relative conduits when the motor's
operating regime changes.
