  • Publication number: 20120068828
    Abstract: It is presented a risk tag detector server for detecting risk tags, the risk tags being tags which are likely to be faulty. The risk tag detector server comprises: a tag manager interface configured to obtain a tag list comprising at least two tags to evaluate, and to obtain tag data coupled to each of the tags of the tag list; a tag selector configured to select a candidate tag to evaluate from the tag list; a tag event interface configured to obtain event data of tag usage for the candidate tag; and a fault detector configured to determine the candidate tag to be a risk tag when a first condition is satisfied, the first risk condition comprising a first criterion that the event data indicates an absence of candidate tag usage during a predetermined time period. A corresponding method and computer program are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20120070052
    Abstract: It relates to a method for segmenting images, to a method for detecting specific structures, and to a related computer device. The method for segmenting a three-dimensional image of a subject includes dividing the image into a plurality of regions, and then hierarchically merging the regions resulting from the division in order to obtain a three-dimensional image partitioned into regions of interest. The hierarchical merging includes a merging step using shape and size criteria of the regions so as to avoid merging small regions. The method for detecting specific structures in an image, for example tumors, includes a step of segmenting an image into regions of interest. The method further includes calculating, for each region of interest, a plurality of criteria, including a shape criterion, of the regions of interest in order to discriminate the specific structures to be detected from the regions of interest of the segmented image.

  • Publication number: 20120072592
    Abstract: Method and apparatuses for controlling a peer-to-peer communication involving media communication between a subscriber (A) and one or more opposite peers (B, C, D). When a policy node (300) detects that the peer-to-peer communication is activated for the subscriber, session parameters are determined (3:4) for the media communication based on predefined peer-to-peer service rules configured (3:1) at the policy node. The session parameters are then implemented (3:6) in an access gateway (304) that controls network resources for the media communication.

  • Patent number: 8136401
    Abstract: The invention relates to a micromachined accelerometer using a movable seismic mass suspended in relation to the substrate by elastic connections only allowing translation in its own plane along a sensitive axis (Oy). The mass acts on at least one elongate resonator by means of a force amplification structure associated with this resonator. The amplification structure comprises a rigid lever arm, a first end of which is connected to the seismic mass by a connection having, in the plane of the mass, a high stiffness in the direction of the sensitive axis (Oy) and a low stiffness in the perpendicular direction, and a second end is connected to an anchor point on the substrate. The second end of the lever arm is a rigid head piece surrounding the anchor point and connected to this anchor point by a rotational connection about a center of rotation.
