Abstract: Method for sterilizing low acid foods using both ultra-high pressures and high temperatures. The instantaneous change that occurs when pressure is applied combines a high-temperature short-time process with ultra-high pressure to deliver a fast and therefore gentle thermal process to a pre-packaged product. The process involves heating a low acid food to a pre-pressurized temperature, subjecting the food to ultra-high pressure, which instantaneously raises the temperature of the food, and then releasing the pressure so that the temperature returns to the original pre-pressurized temperature. The method leverages the adiabatic temperature rise which occurs when the food is hydrostatically pressurized, coupled with the lethality of the pressure, to achieve appropriate sterilization conditions. The disclosure also includes low acid foods which have been sterilized using both ultra-high pressures and high temperatures. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wireless communication protocol for print by reference operations
initiated by a portable wireless device allows a portable wireless device, such as a
handheld personal digital assistant, to initiate a print job with a printer by
indicating the nature of the communication as a print by reference operation and
identifying a location including print content. The protocol is preferably used as
the body of an Object Exchange (OBEX) packet in a Bluetooth RF communication
initiated by the portable wireless device with a Bluetooth capable print device,
e.g., a printer or multi-function peripheral with a print capability. A preferred
embodiment of the wireless communication protocol uses the body of an OBEX
packet communicated by Bluetooth RF to include a tag identifying a packet body
as being a packet body for a print by reference operation and a location identifying

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for block scaling data in order to fit the data to a screen on a mobile device such that "horizontal scrolling" is minimized. The method of block scaling recursively fits blocks within other blocks within further blocks to dynamically optimize the content for a smaller screen. The block scaling is based upon a minimum width for each block depending on the type of data included in each block. The blocks are scaled to the available screen size unless the minimum width for any given block is larger than the screen of the mobile device. When the minimum width is wider than the screen; the data defaults to the minimum width in order to preserve the integrity of the data.

Abstract: To provide a face recognition method and apparatus for more accurately recognizing face portions contained in an image, face extraction method for extracting the recognized faces, and image pickup apparatus. A subject is photographed with a camera whose incidence of defects such as red-eye or other eye color change has been increased intentionally by designing the flash unit and lens to be extremely close to each other, and so on. Discolored eye portions are detected in a photographic image and the faces of people contained in the photographic image are recognized based on the discolored eye portions. The discolored eye portions in the photographic image are corrected and the recognized face portions are extracted from the corrected photographic image. This makes it possible to generate corrected facial images more accurately.

Abstract: A communication system (100) disclosed herein includes a channel quality estimation module (134) that determines the channel quality metric utilizing the preamble portion of the packet only. Data, in such a communication system (100), is transmitted in the form of a packet over a data channel during a packet transmission, wherein each data channel includes several sub-channels. The system includes a receiver (108) having at least one antenna (106), a radio frequency (RF) processor (109), and a baseband processor (116). The RF processor (109) converts the antenna signal into a plurality of baseband sample signals. The baseband processor (116), having several functions, couples to receive each baseband sample signal. Specifically, the baseband processor (116) measures the power of the RF signal and derives a variable gain control setting that is inversely proportional to the power of the RF signal. The baseband processor (116) sends the variable gain control setting to the RF processor when the baseband processor is processing the preamble of the packet to maintain a baseband signal of constant energy. Furthermore, the baseband processor (116) calculates the gain estimation of the each sub-channel and calculates the noise-plus-interference power for each sub-channel. Moreover, the baseband processor (116) generates a channel quality metric that is equivalent to the normalized geometric mean of the squared magnitudes of the gain estimation, divided by the total noise-plus-interference power.
