Patent EP-1382987-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FRAZIER JAMES A
IPC: G03B15/00
Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: An optical system having the features of a wide
angle lens, a deep field lens and a close focusing lens in
comprised of an objective lens, a field lens and a relay
lens aligned on an optical axis in that sequence for the
objective lens to form an intermediate image at or near
the field lens and for the field lens and relay lens to transmit
that same image to a smaller final image at the plane
of the film of a film camera or charge coupled device of
a video camera. The objective lens preferably has a fixed
focal length and a wide open aperture for forming the
intermediate image of a larger size than is otherwise normal
for an objective lens of that focal length. Preferably,
the relay lens has the iris and focusing mechanism
whereby the objective lens andfield lens are not required
to be used for aperture control and focusing. The optical
system provides an extended optical axis for accommodating
lighting of a near object being photographed. In
modifications of the basic optical system, the optical axis
is turned 90° one or more times and rotatable joints are
provided in the lens barrel for versatile positioning of the
objective lens relative to the camera with appropriate
prisms for inverting and reversing the orientation of the
final image at the film or CCD detector plane.

Inventor: LEE YONGCHUN
IPC: H04N1/403
Filed: 2003-01-06
Abstract: A process and system for automating the image quality inspection
and correction for scanned document which previously required a human operator.
For every scanned and thresholded image, the process and system performs an
automatic evaluation through a binary image quality detection system which
generates an image noise index indicative of the amount of image artifacts or
image loss. When a poor quality scanned page is detected, for example, too much
speckle noise, the gray scale image is retrieved or the image is rescanned. The
gray scale image then automatically undergoes an image quality correction
process to produce a clean, readable binary image.

Filed: 2003-09-03
Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides an ingress apparatus
comprising a signal processing apparatus for receiving an
incoming data frame and locating the position of path
overhead, and a monitoring apparatus arranged to extract
information from the located path overhead. The ingress
apparatus further includes an insertion apparatus for
receiving, from the monitoring apparatus, information
extracted from the path overhead of one or more signal
path, and being further arranged to insert the extracted
information into a respective data frame component which
occupies a fixed position in a data frame. Thus,
information which would normally occupy a non-fixed
position in a data frame is moved to a fixed position. As
a result, the information can subsequently be accessed
without having to employ relatively complex apparatus for
locating information which occupies a non-fixed position.

Abstract: A processor (e.g., a co-processor) comprising a decoder adapted to decode instructions from a first instruction set in a first mode and a second instruction set in a second mode. A pre-decoder coupled to the decoder, and operates in parallel with the decoder, determines if subsequent instructions switches the decoder from one mode to the other temporarily or permanently. In particular, the pre-decoder examines at least five Bytecodes concurrently with the decoder decoding a current instruction from a particular instruction set. If the pre-decoder determines that at least one of the five Bytecodes includes a predetermined instruction, the predetermined instruction is skipped and a following instruction is loaded into the decode logic and the decode logic switches from one mode to the other for the decoding of at least the following instruction.

Abstract: A control device is provided for electrically controlling a drive power transmission
device arranged on a driving power transmission path of a front-and rear wheel drive
vehicle thereby to switch the drive mode of the vehicle selectively to either of a
two-wheel drive mode and a four-wheel drive mode. The control device inhibits the drive
mode from being switched to that commanded to be switched to when the vehicle is
traveling at a slower speed than a predetermined speed and when the rotational speed
difference between front and rear wheels is larger than a predetermined value. Further,
the control device gradually decreases a present torque which the driving power
transmission device is transmitting before the switching of the drive mode, to a target
torque which the drive power transmission device is to transmit after the switching of the
drive mode, when the difference between the present and target torques is more than
another predetermined valve at the time of the switching of the drive mode. Thus, the
driving power transmission path can be prevented from generating the drive torque
beyond a tolerable value as well as making a noise due to the instantaneous switching of
the drive mode during the traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle can be prevented from
abruptly changing its motion by the cause of the instantaneous drive mode switching.

Abstract: A channel estimation method for an OFDM transceiver. The OFDM transceiver is configured to derive channel state information (CSI) for a communication channel by processing the preamble of a received OFDM packet. The received packet could be, for example, an unsolicited data packet or a solicited service packet such as an acknowledgement packet. The derived CSI information can then applied to the generation of weighted OFDM packets for transmission over the communication channel. As a result, an improved effective communication channel may be established between this OFDM transceiver and another OFDM transceiver. A channel estimation method of the present invention may be implemented in an access point (AP) or a client terminal (CLT) of a WLAN system. In either case, the improved communication channel can be used, for example, to extend the range corresponding to a selected transmission bit rate and/or to increase the transmission bit rate between the AP and a CLT. In addition or alternatively, the improved communication channel can be used to reduce emitted RF power and, therefore, to reduce electrical power consumption.

Abstract: A system and related techniques expose color printing resources to applications, utilities, operating system and other resources, to automatically detect output capabilities as well as to permit integrated print functions which preserve metadata and other context within the printing workflow. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, a set of applications may invoke or access a print subsystem to transmit one or more image files to a laser, inkjet, dye sublimation or other printer or other output device. According to embodiments of the invention, the print subsystem may interface to a color management engine and/or a non-color image management engine to automatically negotiate a set of enhanced or optimized print parameters, such as gamma correction, white balance correction, media selection or other options or parameters, for instance for color printing on photographic paper. Because those print or other output capabilities may be automatically detected or discovered, those enhanced settings may in many cases be generated transparently, without user intervention. In addition, metadata surrounding the image file including for instance file size, date and time information, editing status, printing status and other parameters may be preserved and made available to print drivers and other levels of resources in the printing chain, in both directions so that context may be consistently preserved and applications may enjoy extensive or complete control over the image printing process.
