摘要:
A method and system for implementing the pay-per-view DVD-ROM system, whereby the enabling data provided to the DVD-player allowing the playback of the DVD-ROM video data is provided to the DVD-player via the Internet or via the cable-TV system provider. The invention discriminates between DVD-ROM's requiring pay-per-view play, and those that are free and do not require pay-per-view play, by the use of a special code for the header of the DVD-ROM indicating a pay-per-view title. Also disclosed is use of a smart card or ATM card for receiving the enabling data for allowing playback of the Hyper-DVD disk.
摘要:
A method of triggering video imaging and/or audio data on a "HyperCD" (CD-ROM) via a trigger through a network for instant local access of encrypted data on local media. The CD-ROM contains video/audio files that have been crippled by removing the critical information thereof. The CD-ROM also contains programs for directly and automatically connecting the end-user's computer to a targeted server (URL) a network (such as the Internet).The method of the invention includes the separation of critical information/key from media data, the storage of encrypted keys on a remote server, the storage of crippled chunky media data on CD-ROM's, the socket-to-socket connection between the end-user's computer and the remote server and the request from user to server, the authorization and transmission of the uncrippling key through a network to the end-user's computers, the combining in RAM of the trigger and the crippled data from CD-ROM for instant rendering/playback, the storing of the uncrippling key on the end-user's computers non-volatile media for owning the data on the CD-ROM for later access authorized by the remote server. Since the uncrippling trigger is much smaller than the entire media file, it saves considerable amount of transmission time, thereby instantly combining the trigger with the crippled data on the CD-ROM, after which instantly playing the designated track from end-user's computer.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and a system for improving the precision of element measurement based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The method comprises: press-forming a sample to be measured with a tablet press; making a cavity on or immediately above a surface of the press formed sample; forming a layer of aerosol immediately above the surface of the sample to be measured with the components thereof completely identical to those of the sample to be measured; testing the sample to be measured by using a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic system, so as to obtain the intensities of the characteristic spectral lines of a target element in the sample to be measured; and determining the concentration of the target element in the sample to be measured according to a calibration curve of the target element in prearranged calibration samples.

摘要:
This disclosure relates to simulating the light-reflective condition of an object when situated in a given environment. A spatial irradiance mapping of the environment may be obtained, from which a series of directional incidence light sources are determined. The reflective qualities of the object may be modeled as a bi-directional reflection distribution function to be applied to directional incidence light sources. The spatial irradiance mapping and/or bi-directional reflection distribution function may be obtained according to image-based techniques.

The present invention concerns photovoltaic devices for mounting on a structure, e.g. photovoltaic roof tiles. The photovoltaic devices (100) comprise improved positioning and locking features (252, 254) that prevent adjoining devices from nesting unless the locking feature is engaged.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods disclosed herein provide for a set of reference images obtained from a camera and a reference image obtained from a viewpoint to capture an entire concave region of an object; a silhouette processing module for obtaining a silhouette image of the concave region of the object; and a virtual-image synthesis module connected to the silhouette processing module for synthesizing a virtual inside-out image of the concave region from the computed silhouette images and for generating a visual hull of the object having the concave region.
摘要:
A computing device configured to determine, for each of a plurality of locations in an image, a saliency measure based at least on a cost of composing parts of the image in the location from parts of the image outside of the location is described herein. The computing device is further configured to select one or more of the locations as representing salient objects of the image based at least on the saliency measures.
摘要:
The present invention provides two T-cell epitode peptides of anti-idiotype antibody 6B11 of ovarian cancer, the sequences of which are shown in SEQ ID NO:3 or 6. The present invention also provides the use of such T-cell epitope peptides in the manufacture of vaccines against ovarian cancer and in the treatment and prevention of ovarian cancer. The T-cell epitope peptides of the present invention could specifically kill ovarian cancer cells which are OC166-9 positive, and could find a wide use in the treatment and prevention of ovarian cancer.

摘要:
A module interfaces a mobile communications network to a packet data network and is capable of implementing an Intelligent Network Service for a packet-switched service for subscribers of the mobile communications network. A network interface module may be operative to implement such prepaid charging in real-time. The network interface module may determine both a count and a time period from the prepaid balance, and compare the number of information units exchanged during the service and the duration of the service against the count and time period, respectively. An entry for a subscriber in a Subscriber Information Registry of a home mobile communications network may be defined such that when a subscriber roams into a visited mobile communications network, the network interface module of the home mobile communications network is used to implement a session between the mobile terminal of the subscriber and a node of a packet data network.
