Patent EP-1326206-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PELLY JASON CHARLES
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 2002-12-11
Abstract: A watermarking system comprises an encoding data processor operable to
generate at least one marked version of an original item of material by introducing one
of a predetermined set of code words into a copy of the original material item. A
detecting data processing apparatus is operable to identify at least one of a plurality of
code words present in a marked version of a material item. The detecting apparatus
comprises a registration processor operable to compare the samples of the marked
material item with a copy of the original material item samples. If a sample of the
marked material item and the original material item differ by a comparison threshold,
the registration processor replaces the compared sample of the marked material item
with the corresponding sample from the original material item. The detecting
apparatus may therefore detect watermark code words present in offending copies of
material items in which artefacts or other noise or degradation introduced into the
offending material item which were not present in the original material item may
otherwise reduce the likelihood of detecting the code words. 
     The watermarking system provides a facility for identifying a point of
distribution of pirate copies of video material generated by capturing the watermarked
image, using, for example, a camcorder in a cinema.

Abstract: An independent suspension system (1) has a pair of control arms (4, 5)having inner
ends (28, 30) which are attached to a vehicle body and outer ends (29, 31) which
support a wheel hub (2) therebetween. A ball joint (6, 7) interconnects each control
arm (4, 5) with the wheel hub (2). Each ball joint (6, 7) has a ball pin (20) rotatably
mounted in an associated housing (10). A first threaded shank (15) on the ball pin
(20) is bolted to one of the control arm (4, 5) and the wheel hub (2). A second
threaded shank (11) on the housing (10) is bolted to the other of the control arm (4,
5) and the wheel hub (2). Thus each ball joint (6, 7) is a separate unit which is
demountable from the control arm (4, 5) and wheel hub (2) and can be installed
without dismantling the ball joint (6, 7). Conveniently also a threaded shank of the
ball joint (6, 7) may screw into a complementary threaded socket in a control arm
(4) to allow adjustment of the effective length of the control arm (4).

Title: Tranformation of objects between  a computer programming language and data representation language
Inventor: SLAUGHTER GREGORY L
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A mechanism for compiling objects into representations of the objects, and for decompiling the
representations of the objects into copies of the objects, is described. A virtual machine (e.g. the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM)) may include extensions for compiling objects (e.g. Java Objects) into data representation language
(e.g. XML) representations of the objects, and for decompiling representations of objects into objects. The virtual
machine may supply an Applications Programming Interface (API) to the compilation/decompilation extensions.
The client and service may be executing within virtual machines. The virtual machines may be on the same device
or on different devices. The compiler/decompiler API may accept an object as input, and output a data
representation language representation of the object and all its referenced objects (the object graph) in a data stream.
In addition, the compiler/decompiler API may accept a data stream, which includes a representation of the object
and all its referenced objects (the object graph), and output the object (and all the objects in its object graph). In
one embodiment, an intermediary format may be used to represent a data representation language document and
may be dynamically processed to generate a class instance from the data representation language document.

IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A bit error rate measuring circuit is disclosed which uses a
synchronous word and a color code. A shift register stores serial
data obtained by demodulating the received signal one bit at a
time. A storing unit stores a synchronous word and a color code
which are unscrambled data predicted to have been transmitted
from a transmitting device. If a reset signal is not supplied
for a predetermined period of time, a timing control circuit
produces a forcible latch signal. A synchronization detecting circuit
detects synchronization between the serial data and a
synchronous word and produces a latch signal and a reset signal
at the timing of detecting the synchronization. If no synchronization
is detected a latch signal is produced upon receipt of the forcible
latch signal of the timing control circuit. A latch circuit
latches the serial data when the latch signal is supplied. A
comparator compares the signal latched by the latch circuit with
the signal stored in the storing unit one bit at a time, to determine
the number of error bits, that is the number of mismatched bits.
