Title: Dispositif et procede pour coder un signal audio a temps discret et dispositif et procede pour decoder des donnees audio codees
Inventor: DEGUARA JOACHIM
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2002-12-02
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un signal audio à temps discret est traité (52) afin de fournir (52) un bloc de quantification avec des valeurs spectrales quantifiées. Une représentation spectrale en nombres entiers est produite à partir du signal audio à temps discret, par utilisation d'un algorithme de transformation (56) en nombres entiers. Le bloc de quantification qui a été produit à l'aide d'un modèle psychoacoustique (54) est inversement quantifié et arrondi (58) afin d'établir une différence entre les valeurs spectrales en nombres entiers et les valeurs spectrales arrondies inversement quantifiées. Le bloc de quantification seul fournit, après le décodage, un signal audio à codage/décodage psychoacoustique avec pertes, alors que le bloc de quantification avec le bloc de combinaison fournit, lors du décodage, un signal audio codé ou à nouveau décodé, sans perte ou quasiment sans perte. La production du signal différentiel dans le domaine fréquentiel permet d'obtenir une structure de codeur/décodeur simplifiée.

Title: Biometric factor augmentation method for identification systems
Inventor: STECHER PETER
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2003-08-26
Abstract: The most preferred method of augmenting an existing token-based identificati on system is to splice into a data stream transmitted from a token reader to a control panel such that an acquired token factor from a user is intercepted by a biometric identification, or authentication, system that is wedged in seri es at a splice in the data stream. When the token reader transmits a data strea m, such as a Wiegand interface, to the control panel, the data stream is used b y the biometric identification system to prompt the user to present an anatomical feature to a biometric reader. The biometric reader creates a biometric inquiry template that is transmitted to a biometric search engine, along with the acquired token factor, such as a PIN or barcode, to perform data match analysis against one or more enrollment templates associated with the acquired token factor. The search engine will either match an authorized user or reject an unidentifiable user. If there is a match, then the data stream is allowed to pass from the biometric reader to the control panel of the existing token-based identification system. The existing system does not otherwise need to be modified. The security of an Access Control System (ACS ) can be greatly enhanced by this method of augmentation that, preferably, wedges an automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) into the data stream of an established ACS.

Abstract: Pour que commence la grossesse, il est important qu'un embryon communique correctement avec le corps de la mère et qu'il puisse par conséquent s'implanter dans la paroi utérine. La clarification et la régulation d'un facteur médiant la communication entre l'embryon et le corps de la mère peuvent éventuellement permettre de développer des moyens pour le traitement et la prévention des troubles tels que l'infertilité. D'autre part, il devient également possible de prévenir la grossesse sans risque. Un facteur de protéine ayant été connu comme une protéine 10 KDa (IP-10) induit habituellement par l'interféron .gamma. est identifié comme un facteur qui participe au processus immunitaire, à l'activation de la migration de l'embryon, à la stimulation de l'implantation de l'embryon dans la paroi utérine, à l'activité chimiotactique, etc. pendant la période de l'implantation de l'embryon dans le corps de la mère et qui, par conséquent, contrôle l'implantation de l'embryon dans la paroi utérine. A l'aide de ce facteur, il est possible de développer et de produire un remède contre l'infertilité, un activateur de grossesse, un agent servant à induire un embryon dans la paroi utérine pendant la période d'implantation, un agent contrôlant l'interaction entre le foetus et le corps de la mère, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel live strains which are intended for oral immunisation against cholera and which are lyophilised in formulations enabling the long-term storage thereof. The aforementioned strains combine the two most important properties that known vaccine candidates must have for the purpose of oral immunisation against cholera, namely: a level of reactogenicity which is reduced to acceptable levels through the use of known mutations which have been described in prior art; and an improved environmental safety index owing to the suppression of the mshA gene or spontaneous mutations which result in the absence of the MSHA pilus on the outer surface of the bacteria and the absence of the VGJF phage in the gene pool thereof, which, if present, enable the incorporation and dissemination of the CTXF phage assisted by VGJF.
