Patent EP-1296222-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MURRAY DANIEL C
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: A magnitude comparator circuit may include a first circuit coupled to receive
the operands to be compared, a second circuit coupled to the first circuit, and a third
circuit coupled to the second circuit and coupled to receive a first operand of the
operands to be compared. The first circuit is configured to generate a vector
indicative of whether or not bits in the first operand and the second operand are equal.
The second circuit receives the vector, and generates an indication of the first bit,
beginning with the most significant bit, at which the first operand and the second
operand differ. The third circuit receives the indication, and generates an indication of
whether or not the first operand is greater than the second operand. In one
embodiment, the first, second, and third circuits are included in a combined
magnitude compare/count leading zero circuit.

Abstract: The invention is a new wax pattern for the production of jewels
set with stones, provided with protrusions to create the stone
seats, wherein said protrusions have inclined side walls and the
top side shorter than the base. According to the process adopted
to set stones on wax patterns with protrusions, each stone is
pressed into its seat and deforms the inclined walls of said
protrusions, creating recesses that have exactly the same size as
the edge of the stone itself.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying a copy-deterrent pattern (104)
within a digital motion picture in order to discourage recording of the motion picture
using a video camera or other sampling recording device. A copy-deterrent pattern
(104) could be, for example, one or more symbols, a random pattern, a digital
watermark or a text message (106). The copy-deterrent pattern (104) comprises a
plurality of pixels within each frame of the digital motion picture, and the displayed
pixel intensities are modulated at a temporal frequency using modulation
characteristics deliberately selected to be imperceptible to human observers while
simultaneously producing objectionable aliasing in any copy made using a video
camera.

Abstract: Consolidated billing in a wireless network is achieved by employing a
processing \node having storage capabilities for facilitating service creation and/or
negotiation, and billing for those services in a wireless network, by associating user
information and/or service information with network information. User information,
service information, and network information, and their associated billing information,
are provided periodically and dynamically into the storage. Using the processing node,
user information and/or service information are associated with network information
without having to access various network elements located throughout the network, to
facilitate service creation and/or negotiation, and billing of services, to thus minimize
network processing and network resources.

Abstract: A deck screw and an installation method is intended for use with composite lumber, although it can be used with other products. The deck screw may be provided with a head and a shaft that has two regions of varying diameter. The upper region has threads that exceed the number of threads of the lower shaft, on a unit length basis. The threads of the upper shaft may be configured in an inverted buttress design. The lower region of the shaft terminates at a tapered distal end having a pointed tip that leads the screw through the wood material. The head of the screw is provided with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a crown that extends around the perimeter of the head. The crown extends beyond the lower surface of the head, forming a recessed region between the lower edge of the crown and the shaft of the screw. During installation the geometry of the deck screw functions to direct and capture displaced composite material to prevent volcanoing.

Abstract: A digital image scaling method suitable for an embedded system. The digital image scaling method is performed by determining the respective sizes of minimum processing units of a source image and a target image so that the source image and the target image are divided into the same number of minimum processing units in the respective lateral and longitudinal direction according to a scaling ratio of the source image size to the target image size; obtaining integer weight values, each weight value corresponding to each of the points uniformly divided between two adjacent pixels, being a value of the range of 0¼2 n  (n being a natural number), the sum of the weight values between two adjacent pixels being 2 n ; and producing the target image by obtaining target pixel values of each of the minimum processing units of the target image corresponding to the minimum processing units of the source image by using a source pixel value reflected on a corresponding target pixel value, with the weight value corresponding to the distance with the source pixel.

Abstract: Avibration damping member 10 penetrates through two mounting
apertures 11 provided in a shadow mask 5 with tension applied thereto, so
as to be attached to the shadow mask 5 in a freely movable state. The
vibration damping member 10 has two penetrating portions 13b each
passing loosely through one of the two mounting apertures 13b and a bridge
portion 13a linking these portions. A protrusion 14 protruding toward the
shadow mask 5 is provided in the bridge portion 13a of the vibration
damping member 10. This configuration regulates a tilted angle of the
vibration damping member 10 with respect to the face of the shadow mask 5,
thus preventing a phenomenon in which a bending portion 12a, 12b is
caught by the edge of the mounting aperture 11 so that the vibration
damping member 10 is pinned by the shadow mask 5. As a result, the
freely movable state of the vibration damping member 10 can be kept
always, and therefore vibrations of the shadow mask 5 can be dampened
effectively and a color cathode ray tube with reduced color displacement can
be provided.

Abstract: A compound objective lens is composed of a hologram lens
for transmitting a part of incident light without any
diffraction to form a beam of transmitted light and
diffracting a remaining part of the incident light to form a
beam of first-order diffracted light, and an objective lens
for converging the transmitted light to form a first
converging spot on a front surface of a thin type of first
information medium and converging the diffracted light to form
a second converging spot on a front surface of a thick type of
second information medium. Because the hologram lens
selectively functions as a concave lens for the diffracted
light, a curvature of the transmitted light differs from that
of the diffracted light. Therefore, even though the first and
second information mediums have different thicknesses, the
transmitted light incident on a rear surface of the first
information medium is converged on the its front surface, and
the diffracted light incident on a rear surface of the second
information medium is converged on the its front surface. That
is, the compound objective lens has two focal points.

Abstract: A technique for converting XML code to a binary format involves
identifying code elements that appear in the XML code and storing them in an
element palette. The XML code is then encoded by selecting predefined
commands that represent the XML text-based instructions and associating the
predefined commands with references to corresponding code elements in the
element palette. The commands and associated references form fixed-length
tokens that can be further compressed. During conversion, data is extracted and
stored in an uncompressed format. The conversion produces a binary output that
contains the element palette, the data, and the tokens (compressed or
uncompressed). When the binary form of the XML code is loaded for execution,
the tokens are decoded into instructions that operate on the elements referenced in
the element palette.
