Abstract: A cyclonic fluid separator for separating one or more condensable components, such as water, and/or solids, such as smoke or sand particles, from a fluid mixture has a tubular housing having a fluid inlet section in which the fluid mixture is accelerated to a supersonic velocity and thereby expanded and cooled such that condensable components condense and/or solidify, one or more wings for inducing the fluid mixture to swirl within a central section of the tubular housing, a fluid separation section in which a tubular vortex finder is movably arranged, a condensables enriched fluid outlet which is connected to an annular space surrounding the tapered tubular vortex finder and a condensables depleted fluid outlet which is connected to the interior of the tapered tubular vortex finder. The vortex finder may be movable in a radial and/or longitudinal direction within the housing to align the entrance of the vortex finder with the centre of rotation of the swirling fluid, which center of rotation may be unaligned to and/or spiral about the central axis of the tubular housing as a result of the radial fluid displacement by the wing(s).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a matrix code comprising a multitude of pixels and markers. The inventive method comprises the steps of generating a multitude of pixels in lines and columns, the lines extending along the x axis and the columns extending along the y axis of a coordinate system; generating a multitude of markers that form the grid points of a grid, the grid points of every cell of the grid having different x and/or y coordinates with respect to the coordinate system. Such an inclination of the marker grid relative the lines and columns of the pixels results in a higher marker resolution along the x axis and the y axis without having to increase the number of markers used.

Abstract: The method involves dividing an image into several square blocks. Each block undergoes a frequency transformation whereby the image information is divided into frequencies and associated coefficients are determined. Each image is sub-divided into rectangular regions each comprising several blocks. From each region, a block is selected and the selected blocks from all regions are combined into groups. For each group, the average coefficient value is determined. For each block in each group the average coefficient value is determined. One of two pieces of binary information as a bit of the digital watermark or signature is embedded into a group whereby the average block coefficient of at least one block in the group is changed so that most of the blocks in this group have an average value less than the group coefficient average. The other piece of binary information is embedded in a group in which the block coefficient average value of at least one block is changed such that most of the blocks in this group have a block coefficient average greater than or equal to the group average coefficient value. The embedding of the first binary information bit slightly reduces the average value of the selected block(s) and increases the average of other blocks in the group so that the group average remains unchanged. The embedding of the second binary information bit slightly increases the average value of the selected block(s) and decreases the average of other blocks in the group so that the group average remains unchanged.

Abstract: De nouvelles architectures de communication qui utilisent des procédés à base de paquets ou de cellules pour la transmission de signaux vocaux prévoient de séparer les informations de signalisation transmises par des liaisons de signalisation et les informations utiles transmises par des liaisons porteuses. Cette séparation a lieu derrière les réseaux de télécommunication traditionnels à commutation de ligne, comme le réseau numérique à intégration de services. La transmission d'informations de signalisation RNIS par l'intermédiaire du réseau à base de paquets ou de cellules (IP, ATM) se fait à l'aide de protocoles Internet spéciaux comme le protocole IUA. Ce faisant, on peut être confronté, en cas d'anomalie, au problème que les liaisons porteuses sont certes désactivées, mais pas les liaisons de signalisation. L'invention remédie à cela en intégrant au protocole IUA un nouveau message à l'aide duquel les liaisons de signalisation ainsi que les terminaux RNIS qui y sont intégrés sont dissous ou réinitialisés.
