Title: Method and system for simulation of a thread in computer graphics simulations
Inventor: KAASA JOHANNES
IPC: G09B23/04
Filed: 2002-01-08
Abstract: Method for describing a thread as a geometric object in a three dimensional computer graphics system. The method comprises generating a set of fixture points defining points in space through which the thread passes, generating a set of one or more segments representing the thread between adjacent fixture points, linking each segment to a pair of fixture points, one at each end of the respective segment, and describing the geometrical properties of each segment. The segments and fixture points are preferably defined as objects containing functions and variables allowing the exchange of data between the various objects. The method allows for the calculation of the shape of the thread based on a calculation of the shape of each individual segment. A simulation system utilizing the method receives update information such as control signals, over an input interface and includes instructions on a storage media and a processor for calculating the shape of the thread and outputting the result over an output interface.

measurement the point when the frequencies in the frequency distribution table
exceed a threshold, and a distance selector 15 for selecting a specific distance when
a plurality of distances are determined, and displaying this distance on the distance
display 8. As a result, when a plurality of distances are calculated, these distances
can be appropriately displayed, improving the flexibility and functionality.

Abstract: To support the communication of audio-video information, and other time-sensitive information, via UPnP networks, the UPnP architecture is augmented to include: a resource management module that supports multiple contenders for a single device or its sub-units without races or hazards, a path manager that provides source-to-sink path management, and an action manager that enables A/V applications to schedule activities. Together, the resource manager and path manager ensure path validity, integrity, and quality of service. The resource manager is configured to manage device resources that are distributed in heterogeneous networks, such as resources distributed in networks using mixed Ethernet, 1394, 802.11, USB, HPNA. The path manager is configured to manage network resources that are distributed in heterogeneous networks. The resource manager and the path manager are also configured to ensure that a path across network boundaries is valid. Scheduling actions are the responsibility of each action manager, which acts as an agent of the application, and is a client of the resource manager and the path manager. The resource manager and the path manager are configured as an integral part of a UPnP framework, and as such, communicates with applications via HTTP messages.

Abstract: A cost effective digital stereo decoder (216) for Digitized Intermediate Frequency (DIF) FM radio receiver (100). After FM demodulation (212), a multiplex signal (MPX) at a high sampling rate is mixed with free-running local quadrature mixers (308, 320) to shift the (L-R) stereo signal to baseband. The MPX signal is also mixed with a free-running locally generated carrier signal to translate an embedded 19KHz pilot tone signal to 1KHz. The pilot tone signal is decimated to a low sampling rate to permit a phase-lock loop (PLL) to be applied to the lower rate signal to estimate the phase of the pilot signal. An FM blender controller is used to attenuate high frequency noise and improve audio quality. The receiver may be implemented in software and be customer configurable to have various operating characteristics.
