Abstract: A calibration element (1) serves for calibrating the magnification ratio of a camera (3). The calibration element (1) has at least one calibration region (4) in which at least one perforation (5) or indentation is provided. The perforation (5) or indentation can be detected by the camera. The calibration element (1) is sufficiently slight in the calibration region (4) that the detection of an upper edge or lower edge of the perforation (5) or indentation produces only negligible differences. In order to determine the dependence of the magnification ratio on the thickness, the calibration element (1) additionally has at least one support foot (8), whose length (9) is selected in such a way as thereby to produce a variation in the measured magnification ratio of the camera image that can be evaluated.

Title: System and method for topical document searching
Inventor: GRENET PHILIPPE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2007-03-29
Abstract: Systems and methods are providing for searching for documents within topically- defined clusters. A search space is defined, stalling with one or more source documents, by examining references from one documents to another and following the networks of references to some level of indirection. Depending on the embodiment, references may be followed from a document containing a reference to a referred-to document, or from a referred-to document to a document containing a reference, or both. Once a search space has been defined, a query is executed, and documents within the search space that satisfy the query parameters are identified. In certain embodiments of the invention, the documents primarily relate to legal materials, and one or more source documents are associated with one or more topics within 8 topic directory. In such embodiments, a search query may be limited to one or more selected topics by executing the search query within a search space defined using the associated document or documents as the source.

Title: Method, communications node, and memory for dynamic dictionary updating and optimization for compression and decompression of messages
Inventor: FOTI GEORGE
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2007-11-23
Abstract: A method, communications node, and memory for updating and respectively storing a dynamic dictionary for use in text-based protocol message compression/decompression. A message is received by the compression/decompression module from a local client module or from another's node, and the compression/decompression module determines if sequences from the received message match sequences from a dictionary, then determines if any matching sequences are successive in the message. If so, the compression module concatenates the matching successive sequences from the message and copies the resulting combined expression into a dynamic dictionary, thus creating a longer expression to be used in subsequent message compression and decompression. The compression module uses real traffic messages and creates longer string expressions. In one variant, the matching sequences comprise one or more string expressions constituted of one or more data bytes and the invention first detects message's individual expressions matching individual expressions from the dictionary.
