Abstract: A method and an arrangement in electronic systems. Uncertainties are handled in a special way. The uncertainties can regard a parameter that is to be determined or uncertainties in signals or data that constitute a basis for determination of the sought parameter. There is often also a time-critically within the application. In certain applications, changes can be rapid and the invention can also handle such dynamic processes. Detection and prediction in electronic systems are carried out.

Abstract: The technical development based on computer technology has generated large changes in the society and implies future possibilities of creations of new systems and tools for simplifying and improving people's ways of working and achieving results. People need support and tools for handling complex dependences and for increasing the certainty of achieving desired results. The present invention is a technical tool, which is supporting solutions and accomplishment of complex tasks and processes, which primarily regard changes, creations of new systems, products etc. It includes a method for technical support of projects, where projects include processes for situation understanding, planning and execution, and where the task of the project is to change or develop at least a product or system from their start state to their end state. The method handles uncertainties in the project and provides users of the tool with probability measures for selected possible results within the project.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detection and prediction of incidents and traffic queues formed by overloading. This is done in real time with use of sensors in a road network. Predictions are used also to reach a faster and more reliable detection. Sensor measurements are also used in the process, where the comparison with expected values are used for successively updating stored parameter values for the involved algorithms. By this, the system can succeedingly adapt itself for changed situations. The strong traffic variations, that are naturally occurring at short time intervals are treated with the use of noise-based methods. By this, there are formed distribution related measures as e.g. the standard deviation, which can be estimated from measurements, and submit a base for estimating probabilities for deviations of a certain size, e.g. related to the standard deviation. Automatic incident detection (AID) is based on determination of the desired false-alarm rate, and the related threshold level.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method and system for achieving increased depth of focus at photography. The method creates an improvement of depth of field at use of traditional “Tilt and Shift” - technique, and increased possibilities to obtain good depth of field with other and quite ordinary cameras. The method is primarily meant for electronic cameras, where the image is created electronically from a sensor in the camera and is based on a multi photo technique. Several photos are shot with different focused parts of the scene subjects in respective photo, and a basic image is integrated by contributions from the different images. Calculated image transfers based on lens- or sensor settings for respective image, compose a starting point for corrections of images and selection of respective image contributions.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and means for control of traffic on a network by route control. The method and the means are based on functions in a traffic management system. The invention includes control of traffic from a first route, which passes a bottleneck, which can be a part of the network, e g a node or a link, with low capacity relative to the demand of traffic through the node or the link,—to at least another alternative route. That alternative route is separated from the first route at a node upstream of the bottleneck and is routing at least parts of the traffic another road passing the bottleneck of the first route. The method is built on several cooperating method steps and route control can be applied on several different hierarchic levels in the network, locally and more comprehensive. Essential method steps are estimating and controlling traffic margins on selected links and nodes in the network and utilizing those margins at the route control.

Abstract: The method and the means concern a system for control of motorway traffic, with focus on access control. The network characteristics of the traffic, according to the invention, is treated by traffic control functions based on the traffic as well as the access itself, as at the closest section upstream the access, and at connected parts of the road network. The invention goal is safer traffic and an effective utilization of the motorway. The system is creating possibilities for a dynamic traffic management with control of traffic flows. A smoother and better controlled weaving process is effected by preparatory actions and the functions create more margins, as well in space as in time, for the performance of the usually complicated and dangerous driving procedures on the motorway. Modern information technology is used as a means for carrying out the invented solutions.

Abstract: Vehicle alarm devices and methods for activating such devices are disclosed. The alarm device includes a first sensor for detecting the presence of living beings within the vehicle and generating a first signal, a second sensor for detecting the exit of a passenger from a vehicle and generating a second signal, an alarm, a controller for activating the alarm based upon receipt of one of the two signals, and a time delay unit for initiating a first time delay for activation of the alarm after receipt of the second signal from the controller and for initiating a second time delay for activation of the alarm after receipt of the first signal during the first time delay, and thereby extend the first time delay, and for further initiating the second time delay for activation of the alarm after receipt of the first signal during the second time delay to thereby further extend the second time delay.

Abstract: Prior to incorporating meat trimmings into a meat piece, particles of the trimmings are fermented with bacteria to obtain fermented trim particles for incorporating into a meat piece and fat is added to the trimmings before the trimmings are particulated, or to the trim particles before fermentation or to the trim particles during fermentation so that the added fat is present during fermentation for obtaining a mixture of fermented trim particles and added fat, and after fermentation, the mixture is frozen and then suspended in a brine or pickle or marinade and then the suspension is incorporated into a meat piece.

Abstract: A meat product is prepared by mixing frozen particles of salami in a brine, a pickle, or a marinade medium to obtain a suspension of the frozen particles in the medium and then the suspension is incorporated into a chilled portioned piece of meat to obtain a meat product containing the suspension.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting the traffic flow in a road network. Sensors in the road network register the passage of vehicles and two of the parameters, flow, density, speed enable all three parameters to be calculated. The correlation between the traffic at a point X at a certain time and the traffic at another point Y some period .tau. later can in certain cases and under certain conditions provide good values. In these cases, the traffic can also be predicted with good precision. The invention utilizes this fact and relates the prediction factor to the correlation coefficient. The invention also uses the methods to divide a traffic parameter into various frequency components to be used in various situations and improves the prediction by using the corresponding prediction factor for the corresponding frequency components of the traffic parameters.

Abstract: A radar system comprises a transmitter which essentially continuously transmits a modulated carrier wave signal and a receiver for receiving the carrier wave signal reflected at an object (echo signal). The carrier wave signal is modulated with a code-generating signal whose code frequency is determined for the range resolution of the radar. The code-generating signal is such that one bit in the code has a duration which is several times longer than the period of the carrier wave signal and several bits of the code form a block which is obtained by modulation of a carrier wave with constant frequency. The frequency of the carrier wave is changed between blocks so that the transmitter sends a block with a carrier wave frequency which is different from the carrier wave frequency or frequencies which the receiver is set up to receive. The receiver stores the transmitted code and correlates it with the received signal.
