Abstract: Methods and apparatus for deriving a key signal from a sequence of images comprising
foreground and background portions are described. Reference image data is determined
corresponding to at least one reference image and at least one region of foreground is
identified in an image based on differences between the image and the reference image.
The reference image data is then updated in response to differences between successive
images and the reference image so that the reference image approximates the successive
images. However, the updating of reference image data to approximate the successive
images is suppressed for at least one region of the reference image, wherein the at least
one region corresponds to said at least one identified region of foreground.

Abstract: A plurality of integrated circuits that are used in an electronic circuit have functional interconnections and dedicated test connections. The integrated circuits receive and transmit synchronization information, such as clock signals from one integrated circuit to another successively through the chain. This permits a high-test speed. Preferably the synchronization information is serialized with test data, test results and/or commands. Preferably, the bit rate between successive integrated circuits in the chain is programmable by means of commands transmitted through the chain. Thus, different bit rates may be at different locations along the chain to reduce the delay occurred by the synchronization signals along the chain.

Abstract: A base station (110) in a wireless communications network (100) counts mobile stations (114) receiving broadcast content via multi-user channel. The base station broadcasts (608) a repeating message identifying at least one broadcast content stream and, for each stream, a REGISTER (R) or DO NOT REGISTER (DNR) indicator. Mobile stations periodically re-examine (722) contents of this message. When the indicator is R for a broadcast content stream, mobile stations whose users have elected to receive it send (714) the base station a registration message for that stream. When the number of registered mobile stations reaches (612) a prescribed number, the base station changes (614) the indicator to DNR. When the indicator is DNR for a broadcast content stream, mobile stations refrain (712/716) from sending any registration message for that broadcast content stream. The base station may institute a recount (618) by resetting the indicator to R.

Abstract: Des matériaux conducteurs transparents sont utilisés pour des applications optoélectroniques. Les matériaux utilisés jusqu'à présent sont cependant des semi-conducteurs de type n. Les semi-conducteurs transparents de type p sont également nécessaires pour réaliser des transitions pn. On connaît peu de matériaux de ce type ayant une stabilité au cours du temps contestable. Les oxydes sont censés avoir une stabilité élevée, mais les conditions structurelles dans lesquelles ils peuvent devenir conducteurs de type p, sont très restreintes. La synthèse de CuAlO2 est plus compliquée en raison de la formation d'oxydes binaires, de CuAl2O4 de type spinelle, ou de cuivre métallique. Pour permettre la préparation de CuAlO2 pur pulvérulent, on se servait jusqu'à présent de la réaction d'oxydes binaires à des températures d'au moins 1000 °C pendant au moins 20 heures, avec des interruptions jusqu'à nouveau mélange et nouvelle compression. L'invention a pour objet la mise au point d'un procédé pour préparer du CuAlO2 transparent conducteur de type p, sans produits secondaires indésirables, convenant en particulier à des applications optoélectroniques, et permettant une préparation économique à basse température de CuAlO2 pulvérulent stable dans le temps. Le procédé de l'invention pour préparer du CuAlO2 transparent conducteur de type p, comprend une réaction d'échange conforme à la structure cristalline. Ensuite, les modifications alpha du matériau non conducteur de type céramique LiAlO2 et CuCl prennent part à une réaction de métathèse, par échange d'ions à une température supérieure ou égale à 330 °C pour donner la structure cristalline souhaitée de CuAlO2 et du LiCl purifiable. Le procédé de l'invention convient à la préparation de CuAlO2 transparent conducteur de type p adapté à différentes applications optoélectroniques, en particulier à des écrans plats à grande surface et des piles solaires à couche mince.

Abstract: The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, endplates become occluded by calcified layers, and diffusion of nutrients and oxygen into the disc diminishes. The disc degenerates, and pain ensues. Conduits are delivered and deployed into the intervertebral disc to re-establish the exchange of nutrients and waste between the disc and bodily circulation to stop or reverse disc degeneration and relieve pain. The intervertebral disc installed with semi-permeable conduits may be used as an immuno-isolated capsule to encapsulate donor cells capable of biosynthesizing therapeutic molecules. The semi-permeable conduits establish the exchange of nutrients and therapeutic molecules between disc and bodily circulation to treat a disease without using immuno-suppressive drugs.

Abstract: Sector writing operations in the alternative memory block (AB) follow sequentially. The position of the respective sector in the alternative memory block, is stored in a sector table. Conversion of altered addresses is effected using a data record with a real block address (RBA) and sector table in the internal flag memory of a memory controller. The sector table is formed as an index table (IT). In this, the real sector address (RSA) serves as the index. Valid sector position is indicated in the alternative block (AB) at the respective table position. The maximum value in the index table (IT) points to a sector address (RSA) where the associated sector remains unaltered in the original memory block (SB). The sector table is constructed as a search table (ST). In each table entry the real sector address (RSA) is indicated by the respective valid sector position in the alternative block (AB). The search table (ST) is ordered in accordance with real sector addresses (RSA). The position of the sector in the alternative block is also stored in the control area of the sector. During restarting of the memory system, the sector table of a block is re-formed from the sector positions stored in the control area. During restarting, the position of the sector with the highest position number in the sector table is converted. A memory block contains 256 sectors and the associated index table is 256 bytes long. The corresponding search table is 32 bytes long. Further variants of the method are described in accordance with the foregoing principles. Salient points include the use of file allocation tables (FAT) and sector masking strategy.
