20100299328 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UPDATING PROTOTYPES - An apparatus and method for machine-updating of prototypes—for example, during design of digital objects, or content-management—has input means ( | 11-25-2010 |
20100294525 | HAND TOOL MACHINE - The invention relates to a hand tool machine, particularly a drill and/or chisel hammer, having a striking unit comprising at least one hammer and one striking element, and having a damping device for the striking element for damping a B-strike of the striking element against a striking unit. The invention proposes that the damping device have at least one axial overlap region with the hammer in at least one operating mode. | 11-25-2010 |
20100174695 | ONE-CLICK SELECTION OF MUSIC OR OTHER CONTENT - A set of temporal phases are defined, occurring successively during the playback of music (or other content) to a user. Each temporal phase is associated with a set of selection criteria. If the user operates a selection device (which can be a computer mouse button) while a piece of music or other content is being played back, the selection phase applicable at the time of user-action is determined and further content is selected based on the selection criteria associated with the applicable phase. This enables the user, with minimal action, to influence the content being rendered. The selection criteria can be related to the meta-data of the content being played back at the time of user action. The meaning attributed to the applicable temporal phase can be varied depending on the pressure of the mouse button click. | 07-08-2010 |
20100125539 | Hybrid audio-visual categorization system and method - Meta-data (tags) for an audiovisual file can be generated by prompting a user to input certain tags (meta-data) descriptive of the audiovisual file, to serve as an initial estimate of the tags, and then revising the initial estimate (notably to expand it and/or render it more precise) based on the assumption that the relationships which hold between the different tags for a set of manually-tagged training examples will also hold for the tags of the input file now being tagged. | 05-20-2010 |
20100042371 | EVENT-DETECTION IN MULTI-CHANNEL SENSOR-SIGNAL STREAMS - Multiple parallel signal streams are produced by the sensors ( | 02-18-2010 |
20090154434 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - In a system and method for facilitating wireless communication between agents in a wireless network, each agent is equipped with an agent's device using a main wireless infrastructure and a separate auxiliary wireless infrastructure. Initial contact between any first agent's device and any other agent's device is made within the auxiliary wireless infrastructure, whereas, once this initial contact has been established, all ensuing communications between the first agent's device and the other agent's device take place within the main wireless infrastructure. | 06-18-2009 |
20090099820 | EVENT-DETECTION IN MULTI-CHANNEL SENSOR-SIGNAL STREAMS - Multiple parallel signal streams are produced by the sensors ( | 04-16-2009 |
20080269953 | PEER-TO-PEER TRANSACTION-BASED POWER SUPPLY METHODS AND SYSTEMS - A peer-to-peer approach is used for the transfer of electrical power between devices ( | 10-30-2008 |
