20080259809 | Performance Measurement in a Packet Transmission Network - A data packet transmission network comprises a stream of packets of data sent by a first terminal passes in transit through at least one network equipment with which there is associated a stream measurement unit; wherein said first terminal and said measurement unit are connected to a collection unit. The measurement method comprising the following steps: the first terminal sends a specific stream of packets, each having a different determined size, the sizes being such that in a set of r packets, r being a positive integer less than or equal to the number of packets of the stream, there are not two subsets comprising the same number of packets and having the same cumulative total size; the measurement unit analyzes at least one packet and at most r packets of said stream passing in transit through the network equipment. | 10-23-2008 |
20080307080 | Network Management Method, a System and a Device - A device manages a management database in the form of objects to be managed that are referenced according to a reference specification. Equipment exchanges management data in the form of data structures indicated by patterns each corresponding to a respective referenced object and being assigned a respective identifier. In order to manage a given object, the device and the equipment store synchronization information associating the reference of the given object and the corresponding pattern identifier. In order to manage a given object, the equipment sends the corresponding pattern assigned the respective identifier and a data ticket which has a structure indicated by said pattern and is assigned said identifier. The device translates the pattern into the respective referenced object as a function of the identifier of said pattern and the synchronization information, and then stores the data from the received ticket in the management database. | 12-11-2008 |
20090055529 | METHOD OF COLLECTING DESCRIPTIONS OF STREAMS PERTAINING TO STREAMS RELATING TO AT LEAST ONE CLIENT NETWORK ATTACHED TO AN INTERCONNECTION NETWORK - A method for collection of flow descriptions for flows relating to at least one client network, the client network being attached to an interconnection network. The method receives flow descriptions for flows coming from the client network, aggregates the flow descriptions for the flows coming from the client network as a function of an aggregation criterion, transmits the aggregated flow descriptions to a collection device, analyzes the flow descriptions for the flows coming from the client network to determine at least one flow characteristic specific to the client network, receives flow descriptions for flows coming from the interconnection network, filters the flow descriptions for the flows coming from the interconnection network, in which the flow descriptions for flows lacking the at least one determined flow characteristic specific to the client network are eliminated, and transmits the filtered flow descriptions to the collection equipment. | 02-26-2009 |
20100031273 | METHOD OF SUPERVISING A PLURALITY OF UNITS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A method is provided for supervising a plurality of units in a communications network. The method includes a step of a first supervisor device receiving from a plurality of units information notifications having a plurality of information fields. For each information notification received, at least one imprint is generated, which includes codes extracted from predetermined fields of the notification. The method further includes counting the number of occurrences of at least one imprint, and notifying at least one master supervisor device of at least one imprint and the number of occurrences counted for that imprint. | 02-04-2010 |
20120072604 | TECHNIQUE FOR DELIVERING CONTENT TO A USER - A technique is provided for delivering content to a user. The user sends at least one quality indicator to a first content-delivery device, referred to as a secondary device. The indicator relates to delivery of a portion of the content by a second content-delivery device, referred to as a primary device. When the secondary device detects an event that might affect the delivery of the content by the primary device to the user, on the basis at least of the quality indicators relating to at least a delivery of content by the primary device, it commands the user to transfer from the primary device to the secondary device in order to enable the secondary device to deliver portions of the content that have not been delivered by the primary device. | 03-22-2012 |

20100271470 | METHOD AND APARRATUS FOR CHARACTERIZING A PERSON'S SKIN IMPERFECTIONS - A method of characterizing a person's skin imperfections uses a digital color image-taking device to take at least one digital image of an area of skin including at least one imperfection to be characterized. An apparatus for characterizing the imperfections of the skin and a method for measuring the effectiveness of a treatment for skin imperfections use an active cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical agent and further measure the effectiveness of a staining method aiming to attenuate or mask skin imperfections. | 10-28-2010 |
20100272333 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARACTERIZING PIGMENT SPOTS - A method involving filters of an extracted plane from a digital image of an area of skin to obtain a first ripple image and a second roughness image, from which appropriate computation devices are used to calculate different types of gray levels to characterize a pigment spot, notably with regard to the uniformity or disparity of the spot. A method measures the effectiveness of a cutaneous pigment spot treatment by an active pigmenting or depigmenting agent. | 10-28-2010 |
20120300050 | METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING THE TONE OF THE SKIN AND INTEGUMENTS - A method and apparatus for characterizing the tone of the skin or integuments uses an apparatus capturing a digital image of a skin zone. The image is defined by a multiplicity of pixels (N) and transmitted to a digital image processing device for splitting the digital image into R, G and B colour planes. The apparatus includes means for extracting each of these planes R, G, B; and on each plane, calculation means for logging the grey level value for each of the pixels, i.e. N values, which are optionally processed to obtain a value characteristic of the grey levels for each plane, corresponding to a value characteristic of the colour; as well as the luminosity value L*. The apparatus also characterizes the tone of the skin or integuments on the basis of the combination of the value characteristic of the colour and of the Luminosity value L*. | 11-29-2012 |
