| 20080295344 | Utility knife blade - The utility knife blade is a blade for a utility knife having a slot formed in the blade that is especially useful when scoring drywall. The slot may engage a tape measure adjacent the tape hook so that the cutting edge at the scoring tip of the blade extends below the tape measure hook to engage the sheet of drywall. The slot extends through the cutting edge into the body of the blade at a slight angle relative to normal, preferably about 10°. The blade has a slot at each end so that the blade may be reversed when one end is dulled or broken. The blade has an otherwise standard configuration, typically having a trapezoidal body with a cutting edge extending along the longer parallel edge and a pair of notches in the shorter parallel edge for engaging knife holder retainer pins in the slidable utility knife holder carriage. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100270334 | Spray bottle reservoir system - The spray bottle reservoir system includes a bottle having a neck and a body, the body defining a main chamber for containing fluid. A spray cap is detachably mounted to the neck. A vertical partition is disposed inside the body, separating the main chamber to form a dispensing reservoir. A dip tube extends from the spray cap to the bottom of the dispensing reservoir. The dispensing reservoir may be refilled from the remaining chamber, and due to the relative small volume of the dispensing reservoir and the viscosity of the fluid, the dispensing reservoir permits maximum consumption of the fluid in a wide range of spraying positions. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20080240251 | Method For the Encoding of Wavelet-Encoded Images With Bit Rate Control, Corresponding Encoding Device and Computer Program - The disclosure relates to a method of coding at least one still or animated image, in which said image is associated with (i) a basic mesh formed by a set of faces that are defined by a set of vertices and edges and (ii) coefficients in a base of wavelets corresponding to local modifications to the basic mesh, known as wavelet coefficients, wherein the coded data rate is controlled. The method includes the following steps: controlling a first rate of data representative of a basic mesh that meets a first rate criterion; controlling a second rate of data representative of wavelet coefficients according to a second rate criterion; and finally optimizing the coded data rate by controlling the quantification characteristics of the selected wavelet coefficients. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090132210 | METHODS, DEVICES AND PROGRAMS FOR TRANSMITTING ROOF AND BUILDING STRUCTURE OF A 3D REPRESENTATION OF A BUILDING ROOF BASED ON SAID STRUCTURE - A technique is provided for transmitting a roof structure for constructing a three-dimensional representation of a building, via a communication network. The technique is based on the transmission of an ordered list of at least two roof models, each including at least: one type of roof; one maximum height parameter of the roof.

| 20100268766 | DATA MANAGEMENT IN A GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM - In a geographical information system, a spatial environment is represented according to representation data with reference to geographical areas. The geographical information system comprises a server and a terminal connected via a communication network. The server stores the representation data according to the geographical areas. A selection of a plurality of geographical areas is made at the level of the terminal, as a function of a criterion relating to a load level of the terminal. A request is sent from the terminal to the server indicating the selected plurality of geographical areas. The terminal receives the representation data according to a continuous transmission protocol. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110273450 | METHOD OF REPRESENTING A MATERIAL - A method is provided for representing a material by approximating an original function modeling the interaction of the material and of light emitted by a light source, which function is defined as a function of pixels, of viewpoints, and of light directions, the method comprising: for each viewpoint, the steps of performing a polynomial approximation of the original modeling function and a geometric approximation of a residue resulting from the difference between the original modeling function and the polynomial approximation of said function; and a step of simplification by decomposing the results obtained from the two approximations into wavelet packets. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20090205033 | BIOMETRIC FINANCIAL TRANSACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - Tokenless biometric authorization of transaction between a consumer and a merchant uses an identicator and an access device. A consumer registers with the identicator a biometric sample taken from the consumer. The consumer and merchant establish communications via the access device. The merchant proposes a transaction to the consumer via the access device. The access device communicates to the merchant associated with the access device. After the consumer and merchant have agreed on the transaction, the consumer and the identicator use the access device to establish communications. The access device communicates to the identicator the code associated with the access device. The identicator compares biometric sample from the consumer with registered biometric sample. Upon successful identification, the identicator forwards information regarding the consumer to the merchant. These steps accomplish a biometrically authorized electronic financial transaction without the consumer having to present any personalized man-made memory tokens. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20120066976 | Driven Member Positioner - In one aspect, a method of operating a movable barrier operator includes engaging a flexible driven member with a drive of the movable barrier operator. The method includes moving the flexible driven member in a first direction to move a movable barrier connected to the driven member and monitoring the position of the movable barrier. In response to the movable barrier reaching a given position, the driven member is moved in a second direction without moving the movable barrier to remove slack from the driven member. In another aspect, a movable barrier apparatus includes a movable barrier controller operatively coupled to a movable barrier operator. The movable barrier controller is configured to cause the movable barrier operator to reverse direction of a flexible driven member a distance after stopping movement of a movable barrier toward a limit position and without moving the movable barrier. | 03-22-2012 |
