Abstract: A fiber optic transmission cable fiber protector includes a splice tube positioned over the ends of a pair of fiber optic cables having an outer capillary tube containing at least one optical fiber within an inner capillary tube. The optical fiber protector includes a pair of optical fiber strain relief mechanism positioned near the ends of the optical fibers; the strain relief mechanisms are captured within a heat sink tube that is inserted into each end of the outer capillary tubes. The splice tube is welded to the outer capillary tubes. Heat generated by the welding process dissipated by the heat sink and gases generated during the welding process are vented through a hole in the outer capillary tube into the optical fiber splice area. In an alternate embodiment a weld coupling is welded to each end of the splice tube and is further welded to the outer capillary tubes. A sealing mechanism is positioned on the inner capillary tubes within the outer capillary tubes forming a seal therebetween.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for utilizing an increased number of samples of image data, coupled with the separately controllable nature of RGB pixel sub-components, to generate images with increased resolution on a display device (98), such as a liquid crystal display. The methods include scaling (86), hinting (88), and scan conversion (90) operations. The scaling operation (86) involves scaling the image data by factors of one in the directions perpendicular and parallel to the RGB striping of the display device. Hinting (88) includes placing the scaled image data on a grid that has grid points defined by the positions of the pixels of the display device, and rounding key points to the nearest full pixel boundary in the direction parallel to the striping and to the nearest fractional increment in the direction perpendicular to the striping. Scan conversion (90) includes scaling the hinted image data by an overscaling factor (92) in the direction perpendicular to the striping. The overscaling factor (92) is equivalent to the denominator of the fraction increments of the grid. Scan conversion (90) also includes generating (94), for each region of the image data, a number of samples that equals the overscaling factor and mapping spatially different sets of the samples to each of the pixel sub-components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling cold air circulation in a refrigerator. The present invention re-circulates cold air, which has been discharged into a refrigerating chamber (35), so that the interior of the refrigerating chamber (35) can be maintained at a substantially uniform temperature and relatively low temperature cold air is prevented from being delivered to an evaporator (39). Particularly, the present invention further facilitates the cold air circulation at a lower portion of the refrigerating chamber (35) so that the temperature of the entire refrigerating chamber (35) can be kept to be uniform and the temperature of a vegetable storage chamber (36) can be set at a desired temperature. To this end, an embodiment of the present invention includes a circulation duct (50) configured to suck the cold air around the vegetable storage chamber (36) and to discharge it to a relatively upper portion of the refrigerating chamber (35). An inlet (51) of the circulation duct (50) is installed in vicinity of a rearward lower portion of the vegetable storage chamber (36), and an outlet of the circulation duct (50) is open to above a shelf (35') corresponding to a top end of the vegetable storage chamber (36). Further, a circulation fan (54) is installed at the outlet (52).

Title: Log note system for digitally recorded audio
Inventor: TOWNSEND STEVEN L
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 2002-03-13
Granted: 2011-07-05
Abstract: A system which is primarily of use for lawyers, judges and electronic court reporters operates to correlate personal log notes with digitally recorded audio proceedings. The notes may be made in conjunction with the computer actually recording the courtroom proceedings; or they may be made on personal computers separate from the computer recording the court proceedings.  Identification of the proceedings is made on both the digitally recorded proceedings, as well as on the log notes (280) so that they are correlated.  Each time a note is entered, the time at which the note is entered is placed as a time stamp (278) in conjunction with the note. When the log notes are synchronized with the recorded court proceedings, reference subsequently to that note time stamp allows direct immediate access to the same running time on the court proceedings, for subsequent review of either the recorded audio or a transcription made of that audio carrying the same time references.
