Title: Apparatus and method using compressed codes for television program record scheduling
Inventor: YUEN HENRY C
IPC: H01H9/02
Filed: 1992-09-29
Granted: 2002-02-05
Abstract: Encoded video recorder/player (44, 370, 964, 991) timer (40) preprogramming information (10) listed in a television calen-dar (Figure 8) allows a timer preprogramming feature on a video cassette recorder VCR (44, 370, 964, 991) to be programmed us-ing a compressed code of as few as 1 to 8 digits which are decoded by a decoder (954) built into a television (48, 950) to convert the compressed code into channel, date, time and length information. The compressed code indications associated with each tele-vision program can be printed in a television program calendar in advance. The user would use the television remote (956) or con-trols on the television (48, 950) to enter the code that signifies the program to be recorded. When the codes are entered they are transmitted to the television (48, 950) and then decoded in the television (48, 950) and then the codes themselves and the CDTL information, which is the result of decoding the codes, could be displayed "on screen" so that the user can verify that the proper codes have been entered.

Filed: 1995-03-27
Granted: 1999-12-21
Abstract: In a multi-processor system, a priority arbitrator receives a request issued from each processor of the system, and arbitrates conflicts that occur among the requests. The requests derived from the respective processors are inputted via selectors to fixed priority arbitrating circuits. Only one request is selected by each fixed priority arbitrating circuit, and the selected request is held in an output register. The pending request is detected by an AND circuit, and the detection result is held in a pending register. When there is such a request held in the pending register, the subsequent request is not selected by the selector.   The priorities of the plural fixed priority arbitrating circuits within the multi-processor system may be made different from each other, depending upon the use conditions of the multi-processor system.

Title: Methode de traitement numerique de l'intensite au niveau des pixels pour ameliorer la qualite des images
Inventor: PETERS KLAUS-RUEDIGER
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 1995-03-08
Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: Le lissage de deux images selon des coefficients de lissage différents permet d'obtenir par soustraction les différences d'imagerie entre les données les moins lissées et les plus lissées. Selon cette invention, la technique de lissage inclut un filtre numérique d'hystérésis bidimensionnelle utilisant un "masque bidimensionnel de variables à réinitialisation automatique". Le filtre est donc indépendant de la taille d'image et de son contenu, et il ne peut pas modifier le dimensionnement de caractéristiques d'intensité significatives. Pour calculer la valeur de l'intensité du pixel lissé, le procédé de lissage par hystérésis bidimensionnelle utilise un ensemble de lignes d'hystérésis unidimensionnelles de pentes différentes, et coupant chaque pixel d'une image. Pour obtenir la valeur résultante concernant le pixel, le procédé totalise ces valeurs d'hystérésis unidimensionnelle et à les divise par le nombre de lignes d'hystérésis. Cette technique de traitement de l'intensité permet la séparation des informations contenues dans une image en groupes d'informations de base.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'imagerie à exposition automatique (Fig. 2) fonctionnant sur la base d'une saisie d'image monocadre. Cette invention est conçue pour des matériels de type CMOS à un seul microcircuit. Pour lire les formats de données tels que des codes à barres bidimensionnels et des matrices de codes bidimensionnelles, le système permet de commander automatiquement le gain (60), l'exposition (64), la mise au point (62) et d'assurer une génération d'image monocadre et son décodage, tout en consommant moins d'électricité. Lorsque l'image est au point (Fig. 4), un ensemble à rangées d'éléments détecteurs à focale fixe (21b) et un télémètre optique déclenchent le lancement automatique de l'exposition. L'exposition assurée par des illuminateurs d'image (50, 54) est commandée automatiquement par la détection du niveau cumulé de la lumière réfléchie pendant la période d'exposition (Fig. 6). Selon une autre réalisation de l'invention, le temps d'exposition est fourni par une table de consultation (82a), sur la base du niveau de lumière réfléchie pendant une période d'illumination initiale de durée fixe (Fig. 7). Il est possible de munir le système d'un dispositif d'arrêt automatique ou de nouvelle lecture, suivant qu'un format de données a été décodé avec ou sans succès (Fig. 6, Fig. 7). L'arrêt de la lecture par les éléments détecteurs après un décodage réussi permet de réduire la consommation d'électricité. L'invention concerne en outre un lecteur manuel (10) léger, permettant de transmettre les données en format de données décodées et offrant une large gamme d'autres possibilités grâce à des cartes enfichables (34, 36). L'invention concerne enfin des procédés se rapportant à ces dispositifs.

IPC: B65B7/28
Filed: 1996-04-29
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A packaging arrangement for packaging products such as contact lenses in packages such as blister packs. The packaging arrangement includes an intermittently indexed, linearly driven endless conveyor which includes a plurality of identical support pallets, equally spaced apart along the endless conveyor. Each support pallet is designed to support and align an array of individual package bases. The arrangement is such that each support pallet with an array of individual package bases thereon is sequentially stopped at a plurality of spaced work stations along the endless conveyor. At an initial station, a robotic loader loads an array of package bases into a support pallet then at the first station. At a subsequent skew check station, optical probes check for skewed (improperly positioned) package bases in the support pallet. At a subsequent package base presence verification station, optical probes verify the presence of each package base in the support pallet. At a subsequent saline dosing station, dosers deposit a given dosage of saline solution in each package base, after which optical probes verify that the package bases have received dosages of saline solution. At a subsequent foil placement station, a pick and place unit places a pair of sheets of laminated foil covers over the array of package bases. At a subsequent chucking station, positioning arms mechanically chuck the laminated foil cover to ensure that it is properly positioned relative to the package bases in the support pallet. At a subsequent cover presence verification station, optical probes verify the presence and correct positioning of the foil cover over the package bases in the support pallet. At a subsequent heat sealing station, a heated seal head heat seals the laminated covers to the package bases. Finally, at an unloading station, an unloader arm unloads the sealed packages from the packaging arrangement for subsequent processing.

Abstract: A vehicle discharge system for a vehicle (1) provided with a rearwardly tippable bed (2) which includes a tailgate (3) comprises a housing (5) mounted at the rear of the bed (2) adjacent to the tailgate (3), a discharge auger (4) rotatably supported within the housing (5) and arranged to receive material which passes the tailgate (3) when the bed is tipped, auger drive means (9) to drive the auger and discharge material carried within the vehicle bed (2) to the side of the vehicle (1) as the bed is tipped and flow control means (10) capable of differentially exposing material held within the vehicle bed (2) to the discharge auger (4). The flow control means comprises a flow control gate (10) which is capable of being movedin a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of the base of the vehicle bed (2) and tilted to form a tapered and adjustable opening which exposes material within the vehicle bed to the auger as the bed is tipped. The nature of an augeris to preferentially pick up material from one end remote from that at which material is discharged and so the flow control gate is tilted to expose less of the auger to the material at that end. The combination of varying the opening heightand degree of tilt of the flow control gate ensures material is discharged evenly and controllably across the width of the vehicle bed.
