Abstract: A system and method facilitating progressively transforming and coding digital
pictures is provided. The present invention  via  employment of a multi-resolution lapped
transform provides for progressive rendering as well as mitigation of blocking artifacts
and ringing artifacts as compared to many conventional compression systems. The
invention includes a color space mapper, a multi-resolution lapped transform, a quantizer,
a scanner and an entropy encoder. The multi-resolution lapped transform outputs
transform coefficients, for example, first transform coefficients and second transform
coefficients. A multi-resolution representation can be obtained utilizing second
transform coefficients of the multi-resolution lapped transform. The color space mapper
maps an input image to a color space representation of the input image. The color space
representation of the input image is then provided to the multi-resolution lapped
transform. The quantizer receives the first transform coefficients and/or the second
transform coefficients and provides an output of quantized coefficients for use by the
scanner and/or the entropy encoder. The scanner scans the quantized coefficients in order
to produce a one-dimensional vector for use by the entropy encoder. The entropy
encoder encodes the quantized coefficients received from the quantizer and/or the
scanner resulting in data compression.

Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus with multiple transmission and reception
antennas and a mobile communication method therefor are provided. In the mobile
communication apparatus including a base station and a mobile station, the base
station with at least one transmission antenna restores long-term information,
short-term information, a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) from a
feedback signal received from the mobile station, spatially processes dedicated
physical channel (DPCH) signals using basis information generated from the
restored long-term information, short-term information and SINR and transmits the
results of adding pilot channel (PICH) signals to the spatially processed results to the
mobile station. The mobile station with at least one reception antenna determines a
first characteristic corresponding to the channel downlink characteristic for each of
the transmission and reception antennas, from the PICH signals transmitted from the
base station, determines the long-term information, the short-term information, and
downlink power control information including the SINR, which reflect the first
characteristic, converts the determined long-term information, short-term information,
and downlink power control information into the feedback signal, and transmits the
feedback signal to the base station. The long-term information includes effective
long-term eigenvectors and effective long-term eigenvalues, the short-term
information includes effective short-term eigenvectors, and the downlink power
control information indicates whether to increase or decrease downlink transmission
power. Therefore, with the great advantage of closed communications systems the
effects of interference, noise, and fading can be minimized, whereas throughput can
be maximized.

Abstract: In a wide-angle optical system for a solid image pickup element, an
image pickup lens 2 is a biconvex lens, and its surface closer to an image
surface is being formed into such an aspherical shape that the positive
refractive power is weaker at a location more spaced in a diametrical
direction apart from an optical axis. Further, the image pickup lens 2
satisfies the following condition expression (1):
 1.3 ≥ |r 1 /r 2 | ≥ 0.8 
wherein r 1  is a radius of curvature of a surface of the image pickup lens
closer to an object, and r 2  is a radius of curvature of the surface of the image
pickup lens closer to the image surface. Thus, the distortion can be
corrected appropriately.

Abstract: In a photoelectric device-part, a bonding pad is formed without
increasing a plane area of a concave part for housing a photoelectric device to
implement miniaturization and improvement of the light usability efficiency. A
light reflecting surface 3 of nearly a parabola configuration or the like provided
for light emission and reception by a photoelectric device 5 is formed on a
slanting curved surface constituting a concave part 2 of a circuit substrate 1. A
convex portion 9a projecting from the light reflecting surface 3 and a receding
concave portion 9b are formed in the middle of the concave part 2. A stage 9 is
formed by an upper and bottom surfaces of the convex and concave portions 9a
and 9b, respectively. A bonding pad 7 for connecting circuits of the
photoelectric device 5 is formed at the stage 9. Since a space for the bonding
pad 7 is provided by both concave and convex portions, deformation of the light
reflecting surface 3 caused by the receding concave portion 9b and a ratio of
intrusion to the bottom surface of the concave part by the projecting convex
portion 9a can be both minimized. As a result, the photoelectric device 5 can be
mounted without largely lowering light emission efficiency or without
decentering the light emitting and receiving center, whereby a photoelectric
device-part 10 can be miniaturized.

(120). The background caries data related to the item. The embedded graphic may obscure
some background data. A bar coding apparatus, system and a corresponding method involve
two basic functions: encoding and decoding. The encoding function uses an encoding
algorithm to generate the barcode (100). The graphic is then embedded onto the barcode
(100) and the thus-generated enhanced visually significant barcode (100) is placed on the
item (21). Decoding involves machine-reading the barcode using a decoding algorithm. The
decoding algorithm can operate with or without an original bit map (101) that was used to
generate the graphic (120). The graphic may be enhanced in a manner that may make at least
a portion of the encoded information within the graphic readable by a human.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intraluminal stent comprising a metallic reinforcing component and a biodegradable polymeric material covering at least a portion of the metallic reinforcing component. The metallic reinforcing component provides structural reinforcement for the stent, but this reinforcement is insufficient, in the absence of the biodegradable polymeric material, to provide a stent capable of maintaining patency of a lumen upon implantation of the stent into the lumen. One advantage of the present invention, among others, is that a stent is provided in which reduced amounts of metallic component remain after degradation of the biodegradable polymeric material covering, in turn reducing the incidence of metal-associated adverse events that frequently follow implantation.

Abstract: An R-C oscillator ( 200 ) is configured to vary the two voltage levels that are used to control the oscillation, such that the variation in oscillation frequency with temperature is minimized. A first resistor (R 1 ) is used to control one of the voltage levels, and a second resistor (R 2 ) having a temperature coefficient that differs from the temperature coefficient of the first transistor is used to control the other voltage level. The first resistor (R 1 ) also controls the current used to charge and discharge the capacitor (C) used to effect the oscillation. By the appropriate choice of resistance values, the variations of the control voltages and current are such that the time to charge and discharge the capacitor (C) between the control voltages remains substantially constant with temperature. Preferably the resistance values are selected to also compensate for temperature variations in the delay of the feedback loop.

Abstract: A method for providing self-aligned contact pads along an edge face of stacked electronics utilizes reflected light from the metal contact leads to define their location. A thin layer of light sensitive polymer is applied over the edge face, at which incident light is directed. A solvent developer is applied which dissolves the polymer where the reflected light passed. In a two-pass technique reflected light destroys an inhibitor in the polymer, and that portion of the layer is dissolved by a developer to delineate voids for contact pads. In a wavefront cancellation technique reflected light is 180° out of phase with the first pass of light, the combination not cross-linking molecules in the polymer, and that portion of the layer is dissolved to delineate voids for contact pads. In an alternative embodiment, a laser interrogation technique, a first incident light outside the absorption spectrum is reflected off the metal contacts leads, and a second incident light within the absorption spectrum is directed at the detected locations of the reflected light, those portions of the polymer in turn dissolved by the developer. The above method provides non-mechanical photo-lithographic techniques to accurately delineate voids for contact pads.
