| 20120027708 | Organopolysiloxane Compositions And Their Production - This invention relates to the polymerization of organopolysiloxanes to form organopolysiloxanes of increased molecular weight and to the organopolysiloxane compositions thus produced. The organopolysiloxane is in admixture with a molten wax during the polymerization, thereby forming a blend of the wax with an organopolysiloxane of increased molecular weight. After the polymerisation reaction is completed, the reaction product can be cooled below the solidification temperature of the wax, for example down to room temperature. This yield a paste-like solid blend which is a very intimate dispersion of wax in organopolysiloxane or vice versa. The dispersion is surprisingly stable. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090306386 | Plant Extract Obtained by an Extraction Method by Means of Solvents of Plant Origin - The invention relates to a plant extract obtained by a single-phase extraction method, by means of a solvent and/or a mixture of solvents of plant origin, containing characterised and chemically defined constituents. Said plant extract is characterised in that it is free of polyphenol, anthocyan and/or tannin, and comprises a fraction of lipophile-type components and/or a fraction of polar-type components. The invention also relates to an extraction method which enables an inventive extract to be obtained, said method being a single-phase extraction method characterised in that it comprises the following steps: a plant material is brought into contact with a solvent and/or a mixture of solvents of plant origin, containing characterised and chemically defined constituents; the plant material is eliminated; and the solvent and/or mixture of solvents is partially or completely eliminated. Said solvent and/or at least one of the constituents of the mixture of solvents is selected from the group of terpenic solvents having a purity which is at least equal to 98% and being depleted of peroxides. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20080209220 | Method of Quantization-Watermarking - There is provided a method of detecting a watermark included in a signal by way of quantization index modulation (QIM). The signal with the embedded watermark may have been geometrically transformed (e.g. spatially or temporally scaled) prior to detection. In order to detect the watermark even in such case, the embedder imposes an autocorrelation structure onto the embedded watermark data, for example by tiling. Initially, the detector applies conventional QIM detection. This step yields a first symbol vector, which corresponds to the embedded data when the signal was not tampered with, but does not correspond to the embedded data when the signal was subject to scaling. For example, when one data bit is embedded in each pixel of an image, 50% upsampling of the image causes a QIM detector to retrieve | 08-28-2008 |

| 20100110672 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND TOOL FOR OPTIMIZING GENERATION OF HIGH CRI WHITE LIGHT, AND AN OPTIMIZED COMBINATION OF LIGHT EMITTING DIODES - The present invention relates to a system, method and tool for optimizing combination of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and to an optimized combination of LEDs. The system and method provide a plurality of LEDs and corresponding specifications. Then, a color temperature and a color rendering index are selected. Calculations are performed for subgroups of LEDs. At least one optimized combination of LEDs having an optimized corresponding luminous flux is identified according to selected color temperature, color rendering index and LEDs' specifications. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a tool for optimizing white light generated by a combination of LEDs. The tool comprises a repository for storing specifications for the combination of LEDs, a selection module for selecting at least one of the following parameters: a color temperature, a color rendering index and a maximum shift variance from a black body locus, and a processing module for calculating for subgroups of LEDs resulting color temperature, color rendering index, luminous flux, and for identifying an optimized selection of LEDs. The present invention also relates to an optimized combination of LEDs for producing white light with high color rendering index, the combination of LEDs excluding blue LEDs. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20110156898 | ENVIRONMENT SENSING SYSTEM FOR THE HEARING-IMPAIRED - There is provided an environment sensing system for the deaf/hearing-impaired. A user wears a personal unit for notifying him/her of a sound event in its surrounding environment. The personal unit is also in communication with a central station, for the user to request immediate assistance. When receiving a sound event message from a sound detection unit in the environment, the personal unit vibrates and displays a notification on a screen. At any time, the user may request immediate assistance to the central station using push buttons located on the personal unit. The central station may contact the user by displaying inquiries or messages on the screen. The user may then confirm that immediate assistance is actually required or communicate more information to the central station using the push buttons. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110221191 | MECHANICAL REGULATION OF ELECTRICAL FREQUENCY IN AN ELECTRICAL GENERATION SYSTEM - There is provided an electrical generation system for producing an alternating electric current with a regulated frequency from motive power with variable speed. The rotor of an alternator is mechanically coupled to the motive power and thus rotates with a variable speed. In order to compensate for the rotor speed variation, the alternator stator is rotated about the rotor such that the relative speed between the stator and the rotor is regulated. The stator speed is controlled such that the frequency of the produced alternating current is regulated. | 09-15-2011 |
