Abstract: Filter device for filtering water from a dirty water tank (2) comprises a rotationally symmetrical, especially cylindrical, slotted hole screen (8). The water to be filtered flows into the inner space of the slotted hole screen. An outlet line (10) for the filtered water leads from the inner space. The slotted hole screen is rotatably positioned about a rotationally symmetrical axis. A reciprocating drive device rotating the slotted hole screen in alternate directions keeps the sieve surface free of dirt deposits without contact. An Independent claim is also included for a method for keeping the sieve surface of a slotted hole screen free of dirt deposits. Preferred Features: The axis of rotation (9) of the slotted hole screen lies about 45 degrees from the vertical, or is preferably vertical. The reciprocating drive device has a hydraulic drive motor (12) controlled by a control device (13) carrying out the reciprocating motion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for entry and editing of spreadsheet formulas. In one embodiment, a user is able to complete editing a formula by selecting another cell. If the user selects another cell while editing a formula, it is determined whether entering a reference to the cell at that point in the formula is appropriate. If entering a reference to the cell at that point in the formula is inappropriate, formula editing is terminated and the selected cell becomes the active cell. In one embodiment, a formula toolbar is displayed when a formula is edited. A user selects buttons on the formula toolbar to insert operators or functions into the formula. In one embodiment, a spreadsheet is displayed on a touch sensitive display. Formulas are edited using the touch sensitive display. In one embodiment, the touch sensitive display is the display of a PDA.

Abstract: A system and method for converting color images divides a first image into first RGB values per pixel, determines which of the RGB colors in the first image has a greater specific gravity, converts the first RGB values into second RGB color values based on the color with the greater specific gravity, and forms a second image based on the second RGB values. The color value conversion involves allocating a first number of bits to represent the second RGB value corresponding to the color having the predetermined specific gravity and a second number of bits to represent the RGB values corresponding to remaining ones of the colors. The first and second numbers of bits are different and preferably the first number is greater than the second number. Through this system and method, an M-bit color image may be converted into an N-bit color image with greater color accuracy than other methods which have been proposed.

Abstract: The invention relates to the bridging technology of home
networks, namely a HAVi home network and an IP based network
such as UPnP network. When combining both networks via a
gateway (10) the service of controlling a UPnP device from a
HAVi device shall be provided. A problem arises from the
fact that not for every UPnP device a corresponding device
control module exists in the HAVi network technology so that
some of the UPnP devices cannot be controlled via a corresponding
device control module (DCM). 
     The invention solves this problem by means of two basic
software elements, namely a specialized function control
module (FCM) to be implemented in the gateway (10) and a
JAVA programme (HAVLET) that is run on the HAVi controller
(31). The UPnP network is an IP based network. Therefore
each UPnP device is represented by a so-called XML document.
Such an XML document includes a number of XML descriptions,
which are nothing else than function descriptions for the
controllable elements. A function control module (FCM) according
to the invention includes means for requesting the
function descriptions of the UPnP device and for forwarding
these function descriptions to the HAVi controller (31). The
function control module (FCM) may include means for translating
the retrieved function descriptions before forwarding
to the HAVi controller (31). In the HAVi controller (31) the
JAVA programme (HAVLET) is run and this programme takes the
function descriptions received from the gateway (10) and
generates a user interface with this information. The JAVA
programme may be uploaded into the HAVi controller 31 during
the configuration phase of the HAVi network.

Abstract: A communication system, clock recovery circuit, and method are provided for allowing data to be transmitted across a communication system and between clock recovery circuits absent a clock master specifically designed for one node of the communication system. Absent a clock master, the communication system is permitted to enter into an all slave mode, with periodic unlock conditions possibly rotating about the communication system ring topology. However, the unlock condition can be readily detected and if the received data bitstream formed into a recovered clock exceeds a threshold above or is less than a threshold below a reference clock generated during instances of unlock, then the clock recovery circuit will fix the synchronizing clock to the reference clock, and cause the bitstream to resynchronize to the reference clock before the reference clock is again disabled to allow the communication system to re-enter the all slave and rotating unlock condition. Periodic application of a reference clock interspersed with periodic application of a clock having transitions equal to the incoming bitstream proves advantageous in avoiding a design where a dedicated master must be used within a specified communication system node.
