Patent EP-0678833-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NELSON WINSTON LOWELL
IPC: G06T3/00
Filed: 1995-04-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a reconstructed image from a compressed image. An exemplary method in accordance with the present invention includes the steps of identifying pairs of compressed image data points having a connection therebetween in a linear segment approximation of the reconstructed image; estimating timing information such as a number of original image data points between each of the connected pairs of compressed image data points; and fitting a spline segment to each of the pairs of compressed image data points and the estimated number of original image data points corresponding thereto, such that the fitted spline segments in combination form the reconstructed image. The reconstructed image may then be smoothed by replacing spline segments which produce undesirable deviations in the reconstructed image with conic section spline segments. The timing information may be estimated using, for example, a linear time model, in which a fixed number of original image data points are estimated between each pair of compressed image data points, or a constant velocity model, in which the estimated number of original image data points is proportional to, or more generally, a function of the distance between the pair of compressed points. One such function of distance particularly well-suited to reconstruction of handwriting images is a square root of the distance.

Abstract: A method of controlling a refrigeration case of a refrigeration system including the steps of locating an expansion valve of a refrigeration case, moving the expansion valve of the refrigeration case out of a predetermined position, sampling temperature readings from an evaporator coil of a refrigeration case, calculating an adaptive proportional-integral-differential (PID) of the temperature of the evaporator coil for the refrigeration case, and moving the expansion valve to a second position closer to the predetermined position based on the calculated proportional-integral-differential until the temperature of the evaporator coil for the refrigeration case is within a predetermined temperature range.

Abstract: A complex wafer (2) having a soft, fragile substrate and a hard-material film coating on the substrate is difficult to polish, because of the hardness of the film, the fragility of the substrate and the inherent distortion. The complex wafer (2) is stuck in a convex-distorted shape to a holder (3). Preferably, a buffer (11) is inserted between the wafer (2) and the bottom of the holder (3). Further, insertion of a convex spacer is effective to reform a inherently flat wafer (2) or a inherently concave-distorted wafer (2) into a convex-distortion on the holder (3). The holder (3) can incline a little to its own shaft (4). The convex-distorted wafer (2) is in contact with a rotary whetstone turn-table (1). Auxiliary shafts (10) push the periphery of the holder (3) for inclining the holder (3). Slight slanting of the holder (3) changes the contact point on the wafer (2). The slanting angle can be adjusted by the allotment of the force between the main shaft (4) and the auxiliary shafts (10). The roughness of the polished surface is less than Rmax50nm and less than Ra20nm.

Abstract: A novel virtual desktop system organizes open applications of a computer into groups of programs that perform common functions or tasks. The groups of programs are called Desktops and the virtual desktop system provides a Desktop Manager for assigning ranges of display screen coordinates to these Desktops, and then assigning open applications to them. Specifically, the Desktop Manager is a system software program that contains a plurality of Desktop groups and that provides a user interface for managing the display of selected open applications assigned to the Desktops. These selected open applications are displayed in application windows on a display screen of the computer when switching between Desktops in the virtual desktop system.

Abstract: The television signal recording/reproducing system 
digitally records and reproduces television signals composed of a 
luminance signal, a chrominance signal and a resolution 
compensation signal included in predetermined television scanning 
lines. The system includes a Y/C separating circuit (110) for 
separating the luminance signal Y from the chrominance signal C. 
The luminance signal Y and the resolution compensation signal are 
combined onto a first signal line. A demodulating circuit (130) 
demodulates the chrominance signal into a color difference signal 
and outputs the demodulated signal to a second signal line. A 
digital video signal recorder (106) digitally process the signals on 
the first signal line separately from the signals on the second 
signal line and records the digitally processed signals. In this 
manner, the resolution compensation signal is processed with the 
luminance signal and the resolution compensation signal can be 
accurately recorded.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for distributing and/or sharing information to and with virtual meeting participants is disclosed that employs realistic metaphors of real life face-to-face meetings. This is realized by taking advantage of prospective meeting participants' already existing knowledge of how real life face-to-face meetings operate. To this end, the graphical user interface, i.e., multimedia communications application program, enables the meeting participants through direct manipulation of the realistic graphical metaphors to perform actions in distributing and/or sharing information that they would perform in a real life face-to-face meeting from a location remote from the other meeting participants.

Abstract: In a vertical trench MOSFET, a layer of increased dopant concentration is formed in a lightly-doped or "drift" region which separates the body region from the drain region of the MOSFET. The layer of increased dopant concentration denominated a "delta" layer, operates to spread out the current as it emerges from the channel of the MOSFET and thereby reduces the resistance of the MOSFET when it is turned on.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for hydrophobically modified emulsion polymers, polymers obtained thereby, waterborne coating compositions containing the polymers and a coated substrate coated with the coating composition. The emulsion polymer is formed by first combining hydrophobic polymeric compound and α,β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and surfactant to form a mixture and subjecting the mixture to high stress techniques to form stabilized particles of the hydrophobic polymer and monomers, in the aqueous phase, said particles having a particle size between 50 and 500 nm. The polymerizable material within the particles is polymerized to form a hydrophobically modified core polymer. Additional monomers including at least one α,β-ethylenically unsaturated hydrophilic monomer are then added to the core polymer and polymerized by emulsion polymerization, to form a hydrophobically modified core-shell emulsion polymer. To form a coating composition, the emulsion polymer is combined with additional components such as pigments, crosslinkers, plasticizers and solvents. The coating is applied to a substrate to form a coated article.

Title: System and method of establishing call in mobile communications
Inventor: YAMAMOTO OSAMU
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: When a mobile switching center receives a request
to connect a call to a mobile station, it calls the
mobile station in a search-for-mobile-station service
procedure using an international mobile station
identity of the mobile station. The connection
request is stored on a call number retrieval table
using the international mobile station identity of the
mobile station as a key. If the mobile station sends
a paging response using a temporary mobile station
identity in response to the call, the mobile switching
center activates a call control program. A call
control process (the call control program being in a
running state) inquires the mobile station of the
international mobile station identity. When the
mobile switching center receives the international
mobile station identity from the mobile station as a
response to the inquiry, it searches the call number
retrieval table using the received international
mobile station identity as a key, and links the
request to connect the call to the mobile station to 
the paging response from the mobile station.
