Patent EP-1278088-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WAYNE KENNETH J
IPC: G02B7/00
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: An optomechanical mounting includes an upper spring assembly and a lower spring
assembly that support and secure a sphere containing an optical element. The materials in the
mounting have the same or nearly the same CTEs and spring assemblies provide opposing
radial forces so that thermal expansions are compensated, giving the mounting superior
thermal stability. Frictional forces on the sphere from the upper and lower spring assemblies
maintain the orientation of the sphere (and the optical element) during operation, but smooth
surfaces of the sphere and springs still permit sensitive, precision rotation of sphere for
alignment without post-alignment clamping of the sphere. The spring assemblies can be ringshaped
to permit an opening through the spring assembly to the sphere for light paths or for
tools that adjust the alignment of the sphere.

Abstract: A reduced keyboard disambiguating system. The keyboard has twelve to sixteen keys, nine of them labeled with numerous letters and other symbols, and those nine plus one more are associated each with one of the ten digits. Textual entry keystrokes are ambiguous. The user strikes a delimiting "Select" key, or a key with an unambiguous character interpretation, at the end of each word, delimiting a keystroke sequence that could match any of a plurality of words associated with the same keystroke sequence. Each input keystroke sequence is processed with a complete vocabulary, and words which match the sequence of keystrokes are presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. The vocabulary is stored in a special format that support significant data compression without requiring additional processing. In addition, stems of longer words whose initial letters match the sequence of keystrokes are also presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. If the frequency of the words associated with a stem is high enough, that stem is displayed as the default word object. Activations of an ambiguous key associated with a plurality of punctuation characters are disambiguated from the context of the surrounding keystrokes.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to develop a
pharmaceutical preparation which is rapidly dissolved or
disintegrated in an oral cavity and a process for the
formulation thereof. The orally disintegrating solid
pharmaceutical preparations are obtained by dispersively
ejecting melts containing sugars (e.g., monosaccharides,
disaccharides, sugar alcohols, etc.) and pharmaceutically
active components under an atmosphere at a temperature equal
to or lower than the solidifying point of the sugar,
solidifying in a filamentous or flocculent state, and
subsequently collecting flocculent masses followed by molding
into a given dosage form and processes for the production
thereof are also provided. The orally disintegrating solid
preparations are safe, sweet and easily ingestible which
can be rapidly dissolved or disintegrated in the oral cavity
since they have a high porosity due to the formulation from
filamentous or flocculent masses and contain highly
water-soluble sugars as their major bases.

Abstract: The present invention provides for making code rate adjustments and
modulation type adjustments in a pseudonoise (PN) encoded CDMA system.
Coding rate adjustments may be made by changing the number of information bits
per symbol, or Forward Error Code (FEC) coding rate. A forward error correction
(FEC) block size is maintained at a constant amount. Therefore, as the number of
information bits per symbol are increased, an integer multiple of bits per epoch is
always maintained. The scheme permits for a greater flexibility and selection of
effective data rates providing information bit rates ranging from, for example,
approximately 50 kilobits per second to over 5 mega bits per second (Mbps) in one
preferred embodiment.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating textures for a three-dimensional
(3D) facial model are provided. The method for generating textures for a three
dimensional (3D) facial model provides extracting texture coordinate from a
magnification result of a predetermined central facial portion by a predetermined
rate and a reduction result of peripheral portion by the predetermined rate, by
substituting transformed model coordinate generated by transforming a standard
model for a frontal image and at least one side face image of a face into a
conversion function in order to convert the transformed model coordinate into pixel
coordinate; and interpolating the frontal and side face image, which is received
from a user in response to the analysis result of the transformed model coordinate,
by using the texture coordinate in the unit of polygon, which is decided by the pixel
coordinate, to determine the interpolation result as transformed texture, in which
the central facial portion is a region established by a user with centering upon the
eyes of the face and the peripheral portion is a region corresponding to the region
except for the central facial portion of the face. Therefore, a compression unit and
a recovery unit in software and hardware manners are not required. In addition,
an excellent texture can be generated by using a frontal image and side face
images that are photographed under different lighting conditions, and boundaries
between polygons can be naturally processed. Moreover, an excellent texture can
be generated by using a limited amount of resources in comparison with the
conventional method. As a result, a clear 3D facial model can be generated.

Abstract: In a time division multiplex access asynchronous transfer mode wireless network wherein network interface units (NIUs) are connected to a base transceiver station (BTS) by way of a radio frequency (RF) wireless link comprising time slots which are grouped into frames, there is presently no method or apparatus to allow dynamic bandwidth allocation while maintaining a minimum bandwidth allocation to NIUs. Using a combined Guaranteed Bandwidth Allocation (GBA) scheme with a Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) scheme, a configurable number of time slots can be permanently assigned to an NIU using GBA while the NIU can request additional timeslots using DBA. Using a queue occupancy threshold and a queuing delay threshold, the DBA scheme takes into account the GBA time slots which have been allocated, so that time slots are not unnecessarily requested by an NIU. At the BTS level, a time slot manager utilizes a frame look ahead procedure to allocate time slots based on the queue occupancy forwarded from the NIU. Additionally, a configurable parameter is defined which reflects the level of traffic in an NIU, to allow pro rated allocation of time slots.
