Abstract: A method and system for scheduling an event related to a preview is disclosed. A transmitted signal comprising a video component and a data component is received by a demultiplexer (210) and decoded by a data decoder (214) such that the video component may be displayed on a display (220) and the data component may be interpreted. The data component includes a preview of the event including a date and time of the event. The preview may be displayed on the display by a preview presentation encoder (224), and an event based upon the preview may be scheduled. If desired, one or more previews may be stored in a preview cache (238) for viewing at a later time. A scheduler services routine allows the event to be scheduled for a future time such that the user may be reminded of the event or the event may be recorded and viewed at a convenient time. A bookmark of the event, such as a hypertext link, may be stored in a cache (242) accessible by an electronic program guide such that a user may access the event via the bookmark at a future time.

Abstract: In a communications system, especially an SDH DCN system in which most network elements (NEs) function as intermediate systems (ISs) rather than end systems (ESs), it is made possible to reduce the constraints on the DCN topology posed by the IS-IS routing protocol by configuring the gateway element (GNE) and the NEs directly connected to it in such a way that the non-gateway NEs appear as ESs to the rest of the system. This is achieved by setting up on each of the digital communication channels (DCCs) of the GNE manual end-system adjacencies for all the NEs reachable through that DCC; setting the "external domain" attribute of these DCCs to TRUE and setting the same attributes of the corresponding DCCs of those NEs which are immediate neighbors of the GNE likewise TRUE; and supplying those DCCs with length-zero reachable address prefixes (RAPs) and configuring the neighbor NEs as level 2 Intermediate Systems. The invention applies especially to SDH ring topologies, in which case the gateway element has two DCCs, but also to bus topologies, in which case the gateway has only one DCC. Systems with more than one gateway element are also catered for.

Abstract: A digital imaging system is described that facilitates the location of anchors or targets in images of a scene. In one aspect, the digital imaging system makes use of differences as between the properties of the surfaces of the targets and the properties of the surfaces of the objects that are to be mensurated, reconstructed, etc., to facilitate providing uniform illumination of the targets when recording a set of images of the scene, thereby reducing noise that may arise in connection with determining the locations of the targets if they were illuminated by structured illumination, while contemporaneously providing that the objects can be illuminated by structured illumination when the images are recorded. In this aspect, the digital imaging system can use the positions of the targets in the images to relate a local coordinate system associated with the image set to a global coordinate system. In a second aspect, the digital imaging system makes use of one or more of a plurality of algorithms to determine the locations of targets in the images of the scene in the respective objects. In this aspect, the digital imaging system records two sets of images, including a baseline set and a working set. The baseline set is recorded using uniform illumination, with the baseline set comprising only images of the targets. The working set is recorded using structured illumination, with the working set comprising image of both the targets and the objects. The working set is used in connection with mensuration, virtual reconstruction, etc., and one or more of the algorithms are used to determine the likely positions of the targets in the images in the working image set, and to determine transformations between the baseline and working image set such that the local coordinate system associated with the working image set can be related to the global coordinate system.
