The present invention provides a method of transfer of a first planar substrate with two major surfaces to a second substrate, comprising the steps of: forming the first planar substrate, attaching one of the major surfaces of the first planar substrate to a carrier by means of a release layer; attaching the other major surface of the first substrate to the second substrate with a curable polymer adhesive layer; partly curing the polymer adhesive layer, disconnecting the release layer from the first substrate to separate the first substrate from the camer, followed by coing the polymer adhesive layer.

A system and method for signing, sorting, and authenticating electronic documents using public key cryptography. The system comprises a document service computer cluster connected to user computers, document owner server computers, and registration computers via a network such as for example, the internet or the world wide web. Document owners and system users can store electronic documents in an encrypted database located on the document service computer cluster, or on a document safe connected to the document owner server. Users can sign documents by identifying the document to be signed and sending a signing request to the document service computer cluster. The document service computer cluster retrieves the user's private key, which is located securely in a database on the cluster, and signs the identified document. No dedicated signing software need be installed on the user computer prior to accessing the document service computer cluster.

A method for tracking one or multiple objects from an input video sequence allows a user to select one or more regions that contain the object(s) of interest in the first and the last frame of their choice. An initialization component selects the current and the search frame and divides the selected region into equal sized macroblocks. An edge detection component computes the gradient of the current frame for each macroblock and a threshold component decides then which of the macroblocks contain sufficient information for tracking the desired object. A motion estimation component computes for each macroblock in the current frame its position in the search frame. The motion estimation component utilizes a search component that executes a novel search algorithm to find the best match. The mean absolute difference between two macroblocks is used as the matching criterion. The motion estimation component returns the estimated displacement vector for each block. An output component collects the motion vectors of all the predicted blocks and calculates the new position of the object in the next frame.

The method described further comprising the authoring or editing or translating tool is associated with a spellchecker in the indexer and sorter application, for spellchecking the terms before indexing.

The invention comprises a method of producing an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) comprising the steps of I) providing a silicone polymer composition; (ii) providing one or more monomers for a polymer; (iii) providing a solvent for the one or more monomers; iv) exposing said silicone polymer composition to said one or more monomers and said solvent to precipitate monomer within said silicone polymer composition and v) polymerizing said monomer to form an IPN, wherein said solvent has a surface tension at the exposing step of about 15 mNZm or less. It is preferred that the solvent, which is preferably CO₂, in the exposing step is in or near its supercritical state. The method is fast and simple, and the dispersion of the monomers may be controled to thereby controle the amount and distribution of the interpenetrating network in the silicone material.
