IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2001-05-14
Abstract: A method for enhancing the hue and lightness characteristics of a
digital color image, the digital color image having pixel values from which digital
luminance and color difference values can be deduced, includes the steps of:
deducing digital luminance and digital color difference values for pixels of the
digital color image; using the pixels of the digital color image to calculate an
image dependent transform; using the image dependent transform to modify the
digital luminance values for pixels of the digital color image to form modified
luminance values; calculating a color transform that modifies the original digital
color difference values in a manner that consistently and smoothly moves the
values toward or away from predetermined digital color difference values; and
using the color transform to modify the original color difference values for pixels
of the digital color image to produce modified color difference values.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical system for imaging a parallel light beam (parallel beam) in a light beam (half-space beam) which propagates in all directions of a half-space, and vice versa. Said optical system comprises a reflector (1) having a parabolically shaped reflecting surface, and a convergent lens (4), the optical axis and a focal point thereof coinciding with the optical axis (B) or the focal point (A) of the reflector (1). The convergent lens (4) and the reflector (1) are thus embodied in such a way that the two marginal beams (C,D) of the reflector (1) and the convergent lens (4) respectively cross the focal point (A) of the reflector (1) at an essentially identical angle. The opening surface of the plane of section through the reflector (1), which is perpendicular to the optical axis (B) of the reflector (1) and contains the focal point (A), constitutes a first reflector opening (2) for the half-space beam. The opening surface of the plane through the reflector (1), which is perpendicular to the optical axis (B) of the reflector (1) and contains the point of incidence of the cited reflector marginal beam (C) on the reflector (1), constitutes a second reflector opening (3) for the parallel beam. Using said optical system, a hologram film arranged on the first opening (2) can, for example, be exposed by an LCD surface arranged on the second opening (3), in such a way that the illumination beam can be adjusted on the hologram film within a total angular region of 2pi by switching the individual pixel elements of the LCD surface. The inventive optical system can be used in association with two other such systems and other optical means, in the form of an endoscope, a peephole, a magnifying optical system, a reduction optical system, and as a system for reconstructing three-dimensional objects, etc.

Abstract: A bi-directional telemetry system includes an implanted unit (100) that allows
a high-speed transfer of digital data with minimal complexity of the electronic
circuitry. A corresponding external unit (102) is capable of decoding the high-data-rate
transmitted information and, in turn, communicates with the
implanted unit using pulse amplitude modulation. The data transmission rate
of the implanted unit (100) to the external device (102) is 32 kbps, a four-fold
increase over conventional data transmission rates, without increasing the
carrier frequency. To this end, the implanted unit (100) using a modified
implementation of the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) method that
generates the required symbols for readily available squarewave signals.
Simulated sinewaves are generated within the transmitter (205) by an inverting
amplifier stage (240) with variable input resistance determined by a pair of
switches (51, 52) that are ultimately controlled by 16k and 32k clocks (CLK2,
CLK3) in the implanted unit (100). Data is encoded by changing the amplitude
and polarity of the simulated sinewaves. Quadrupling of the data rate is
achieved by taking advantage of the orthogonality of I and Q components,
whose phases are in quadrature.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne le traitement de personnes contaminées par des virus tels que le VIH. La méthode tire parti de l'effet de membrane anesthésique produit par certains gaz sous pression. Un patient contaminé par le VIH, par exemple, est placé dans une chambre sous pression et exposé à un ou plusieurs gaz sous pression. Dans cet environnement, des molécules ou des composés se lient à des sites de fixation spécifiques présents sur des surfaces de cellules hôtes et sur le virus. Ces sites de fixation sont les mêmes sites que ceux dont le virus a besoin pour se fixer aux cellules hôtes pendant le processus de réplication du virus. Le résultat est que les virus ne peuvent pas se répliquer. Dans le cas du VIH, sans réplication, le virus ne peut pas muter non plus. Cet effet délétère sur le virus permet au système immunitaire du corps de se reconstituer lui-même en nombre suffisant pour assurer la rémission clinique. La méthode selon l'invention, comprend globalement les étapes suivantes : la sélection des gaz, des pressions et de la durée devant être appliquées à l'intérieur d'une chambre sous pression et l'exposition du patient aux conditions sélectionnées.

Abstract: Two proposals are made for power supply systems comprising at least one resonant inverter and one control unit. According to the first proposal the power supply system comprises two inverters and produces two output voltages, the control circuit processing as an actual value on the one hand the sum of and on the other hand the difference between the two output voltages. According to the second proposal a control circuit does not directly process the controlled variables for a power supply system comprising at least one inverter, but difference units for controlled variables determine the deviations from a preceding sampling instant and these difference values are processed. Also the correcting variable calculated in this way is a difference value which is converted into a correcting variable value by a correcting variable summing unit. The two proposals can be advantageously combined. As an important improvement is proposed the use of a limiting controller which generally becomes active in case of imminent transgression of a maximum value and which limits the actuation. The control circuit is preferably used as a digital control circuit for a state space control.

Abstract: A wireless LAN uses wireless communication servers (28, 30, 32) and access points (22, 24). When an access point is added to the wireless LAN, it sends a request to a master wireless communication server. The master wireless communication server indicates its presence and the application point can request a registration with a wireless communication server. The master wireless communication server selects a specific wireless communication server to interact with the access point. The access point then tunnels data back and forth between the access point and the selected wireless communication server.
