Patent number: 5526299Abstract: The disclosure involves the use of a library of modulated wavelet-packets which are effective in providing both precise frequency localization and space localization. An aspect of the disclosure involves feature extraction by determination of the correlations of a library of waveforms with the signal being processed, while maintaining, orthogonality of the set of waveforms selected (i.e. a selected advantageous basis). In a disclosed embodiment, a method is provided for encoding and decoding an input signal, comprising the following steps: applying combinations of dilations and translations of a wavelet to the input signal to obtain processed values; computing the information costs of the processed values; selecting, as encoded signals, an orthogonal group of processed values, the selection being dependent on the computed information costs; and decoding the encoded signals to obtain an output signal. The wavelet preferably has a plurality of vanishing moments.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1994Date of Patent: June 11, 1996Assignees: Yale University, Yves MeyerInventors: Ronald Coifman, Yves Meyer, Mladen V.

Patent number: 4582177Abstract: Braking device comprising a brake motor provided with a mechanically actuated device of the rotary type (a mechanism of the screw-and-nut type with reversible pitch) and a control jack of the "spring cylinder" type connected by a power transmission mechanism to this actuation device. According to the invention, the power transmission mechanism comprises a cam (50) keyed on the spindle of the actuation mechanism of the brake motor (10), and a cable (52) attached at one of its ends to the rod (38) of the control jack (30) and at its other end held wound round the cam, the profile of the latter being determined so as to compensate the weakening of the drive force generated by the spring of the jack during its relaxation. The invention is used especially in brake systems for heavy vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1984Date of Patent: April 15, 1986Assignee: Societe Anonyme D.B.A.Inventors: Jean-Jacques Carre, Yves Meyer

Patent number: 4571942Abstract: The servomotor, of the vacuum type, comprises a housing composed of two shells, each comprising a peripheral sleeve and a side end wall. The shells include a connecting web between the sleeve and the side wall, parabolic in profile, due to which the resultant of shearing and traction stresses is minimal, which allows the thickness of the shell material to be significantly reduced. Applications are braking systems with vacuum servomotor for motor vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1982Date of Patent: February 25, 1986Assignee: Societe Anonyme D.B.A.Inventors: Jean-Jacques Carre, Yves Meyer
