Abstract: Cette invention concerne une vis en deux parties pour suture qui permet de fixer des tissus sur des os. Cette vis pour suture comporte un manchon extérieur fileté traversé par un alésage longitudinal. Une goupille avec pointe conique d'insertion comprend une tige proximale venant s'insérer dans l'alésage longitudinal du manchon extérieur. Cette goupille présente un passage transversal destiné à recevoir de façon coulissante une certaine longueur de fil de suture. Une paire de rainures part de l'alésage transversal de façon proximale le long des surfaces extérieures de la tige. Le manchon comporte des rainures correspondantes qui partent de façon proximale d'un point à proximité du passage transversal pour former un alésage complet dans lequel le fil de suture peut coulisser librement à l'intérieur de la vis pour suture. La suture prévue pour être utilisée avec la vis de l'invention présente un diamètre inférieur à l'alésage transversal et les alésages formés par les rainure de la tige et du manchon permettent au fil de suture de coulisser librement à l'intérieur. Est également décrite une méthode d'utilisation de cette vis pour la fixation de tissu sur un os.

Covering material (I) with stamped shapes is obtained in a finishing process for producing single- or double-sided adhesive stamped shapes, in which single- or double-sided adhesive tape is placed on (I), from which the shapes are stamped, especially in the kiss-cut process. The novelty is that (I) has a colored plastic supporting film, in which the color is produced by dyes inside the support that have no abrasive action on the stamping tool. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) A variant in which a colored layer is applied to the front and/or back of the plastics supporting film; and (2) The use of a plastic, especially polyester, supporting film, with a completely colored layer on the front and/or back, in covering material for single- or double-sided adhesive tape.

Abstract: A method generates an adaptively sampled distance field of an object by first
defining a candidate cell of the adaptively sampled distance field. Then, distance
values for the candidate cell are determined and stored in a bounded distance tree.
The candidate cell is recursively subdividing into subdivided cells of the adaptively
sampled distance field while determining and storing corresponding distance
values of the subdivided cells in the bounded distance tree until a termination
condition is reached. Lastly, the distance values are appended to the corresponding
cells to generate the adaptively sampled distance field of the object.

Abstract: A base station controller (BSC) performs a handoff of a mobile terminal
(MT) moving between cells of base transceiver stations (BTSs) in a mobile
communication system. If a target BTS is selected as a handoff candidate for the
MT as the MT moves from a cell of a source BTS in service toward a cell of the
target BTS, the BSC transmits to the target BTS a first message for requesting the
target BTS to buffer packets, and transmits packets to be transmitted to the MT to
both the source BTS and the target BTS. If the target BTS is determined as a
serving BTS for the MT, the BSC transmits to the target BTS a second message
including a last sequence number in order to request the target BTS to transmit,
to the MT, packets with sequence numbers following the last sequence number of
a last packet transmitted from the source BTS to the MT, among the buffered
packets.

Abstract: A client (1-1,1-2) receives an encrypted content from a
content server (3). The header of the content includes
license-identifying information for identifying a license
required in utilization of the content. The client
requests a license server (4) to transmit a license
identified by the license-identifying information. When
receiving the request for a license, the license server (4)
carries out a charging process before transmitting the
license to the client(1-1). The client stores the license
received from the license server. The stored license
serves as a condition for encrypting and playing back the
content. As a result, a content can be distributed with a
high degree of freedom and only an authorized user is
capable of utilizing the content.

Abstract: A method of video data compression is provided which is comparatively efficient in compressing data, and at the same time enables transmission of compressed data with sufficient robustness to withstand losses in the transmission channel. A frame of data is divided into coded macroblocks and skipped macroblocks which are grouped into respective slices in a sequence of slices. Respective slices are allowed to contain arbitrary numbers of consecutive macroblocks, and can begin and end at arbitrary positions within the frame. A run-length codeword, comprising a small number of bits, is inserted at the end of a slice to indicate the total number of skipped macroblocks between the final coded macroblock and the end of the slice. To further enhance error resilience an additional codeword, which also indicates the total number of skipped macroblocks, may be inserted at the beginning of the next-following slice.

Abstract: A GPS receiver and method using alternating "A" and "B" integration time segments. The polarities of certain GPS data bits are known beforehand and their expected reception times are known. The GPS signal in 10 millisecond "A" time segments and "B" time segments is depolarized according to the known polarities. The depolarized GPS signal during an "A" time period made up of all the "A" time segments is integrated for providing an "A" time period magnitude for each code phase. Likewise, the depolarized GPS signal during a "B" time period made up of all the "B" time segments is integrated for providing a "B" time period magnitude for each potential GPS code phase. The strongest of the time period magnitudes is compared to a correlation threshold for selecting a code phase for signal acquisition.
