Filed: 2002-05-30
Abstract: A portable display monitor (Fig. 4B) having a flat panel display screen (2) and an integral base/cover (7,8) pivotally attached to each other. The base/cover covers and protects the display screen during non-use and especially during transit, and serves as a base for deployment of the flat panel display screen at appropriate viewing angles. In a preferred embodiment, the base/cover rotates around the back of the screen between 180 and 360 degrees (10) from the closed position. The monitor is adapted for use with other devices such as portable computers (13), desktop computers and the like, so that the monitor may serve as a duplicate or auxiliary display viewable from a variety of locations, notably locations other than those which any display normally employed by the devices may be viewed. In other embodiments, the monitor supports other electronic functions such as auxiliary power.

Patent CA-2499272-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BITTAR MICHAEL S
IPC: G01V3/38
Filed: 2003-09-16
Abstract: A nonlinear iterative deconvolution method and system. In one embodiment, the system comprises a data acquisition module, a storage module, and a processing module. The data acquisition module obtains logging data from measurements made by a sensor tool moving through a borehole, and stores the logging data in the storage module. The processing module processes the logging data to determine a formation model by iteratively updating a set of formation model values which correspond to a set of positions along the borehole. The iterative updating includes (i) calculating an error value; and (ii) applying a linearizing factor to the error value. The iterative updating may be expressible as a weighted sum of a current formation model value with a product of the error value and the linearizing factor. The iterative updating may continue until an adequate match between the logging data and a calculated tool response is achieved.

Title: Multi-regional interactive program guide for television
Inventor: EYER MARK K
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: Interactive Program Guide (IPG) television data is delivered to integrated receiver-decoders (IRDs) (130) via, for example, a satellite network (110, 120). The data provides information for global and local programming services which are carried via the network as well as another network such as a CATV network (150). Each IRD (130) is assigned to an IPG region using unit addressing. At the IRD (130), IPG data is filtered so that only global data (400) and region-specific data (405, 410, 415) for the IPG region is retained and processed by the IRD. Channel map data is also delivered to the IRDs so that bundles of IRD data can be filtered out using filtering (185) to discard program sources not present in the channel map. The IRD data which is retained after filtering is used to provide scheduling information via an on-screen display (190, 195).      A preferred source is designated when there are duplicative channels on the different networks, to allow the recovery and display thereof by the decoder in lieu of the non-designated programming services.

Title: Edge analysis in video quality assessment
Inventor: BOURRET ALEXANDRE
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2004-06-04
Abstract: The present invention applies edge detector techniques as are known per se in the art to the field of automated video quality assessment by providing a method of and system for video quality assessment which employs any known edge detection algorithm as the basis of an edge detection stage for performing edge analysis of test video fields/frames in order to generate an edge parameter value that can then be used to contribute to an overall video quality value. The use of an edge detector stage contributes valuable information concerning image attributes which are perceptually significant to a human viewer to the quality assessment, thus rendering the result provided by the automated assessment more similar to that which would be performed by a human viewer undertaking a subjective assessment.
