Abstract: A single-photon emission computed tomography system includes three gamma camera heads (22a), (22b), (22c) which are mounted to a gantry (20) for rotation about a subject (12). The subject is injected with a source of emission radiation, which emission radiation is received by the camera heads. A reconstruction processor (112) reconstructs the emission projection data into a distribution of emission radiation sources in the subject. Transmission radiation from a radiation source (30) passes through the subject and is received by one of the camera heads (22a) concurrently with the emission radiation. The transmission radiation data is reconstructed into a three-dimensional computed tomography type image representation of radiation attenuation characteristics of each pixel of the subject. An attenuation correction processor (118) corrects the emission projection data to compensate for attenuation along the path or ray that it traversed. In this manner, an attenuation corrected distribution of emission sources is generated.

Abstract: To produce a continuous query for an append-only database, a client defined query first is converted into its minimal bounding monotone query if not already monotonic non-decreasing (hereinafter referred to as "monotonic increasing"). This monotonic query, in turn, is converted into an incremental query. The resulting monotonically increasing incremental query (Q') then is installed on the database as a stored procedure that takes two date/time parameters (hereinafter referred to as "time" parameters), one of which (τ) identifies the last time the procedure was executed, and the other of which (t) identifies the current time. All database records are timestamped as of the time that they are entered into the database. Thus, in operation, more or less standard procedure calls periodically invoke to each of the stored query procedures, thereby periodically executing the incremental queries over database records that have timestamps spanning successive time slots.

Abstract: Difference flag logic suitable for use in a FIFO memory is modified to quickly generate FIFO flag status without the use of subtractor circuitry. Bit comparators, which together comprise a magnitude comparator, determine if a first bit is less than, equal to, or greater than a second bit, and operate to produce a composite comparator output. The subtractor function is replaced by offsetting the read count from the write count by a value equal to the desired FIFO flag value. In addition, control of selected bits, such as the most significant bits (MSBs), of the numbers is included and may be used as necessary to avoid a wrap-around condition.

Abstract: A rearview mirror system for a vehicle having a reflective element (12) with a reflective surface (28) and a variable light transmission element (22) includes an optical display device (34) behind the reflective element in order to produce a visual display to the driver. A control is provided having a light sensor (40) that senses light conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle and produces a continuously variable light signal indicative of such sensed light conditions. The control further includes a drive circuit (49) that is responsive to the light signal in order to supply a drive signal to the reflective element and thereby establish the light transmission level of the light transmission element. The control further includes an intensity control circuit (44) that varies the intensity of the optical display as a function of the value of the sensed light in the vicinity of the vehicle in order to accommodate physiological changes in the driver's eyes. The intensity control circuit further varies the intensity of the optical display device as a function of the drive signal supplied to the reflective element in order to compensate for reduced light transmission levels of the light transmission element. The intensity control circuit sums values of the light signal and the drive signal and processes the sum to a pulse-width modulated signal using a non-linear processor. The intensity control also provides a substantially constant high intensity of the optical display device for all values of sensed light above a predetermined high light level and for all values of sensed light below a predetermined low light level.

Abstract: A variable length codeword packer (Fig. 3) communicates codeword data in successive m-bit bytes. A binary sum is accumulated (86) indicative of a total number of codeword bits received over time. A byte pointer (90) is derived from at least one most significant bit of the binary sum. A bit pointer (92) is derived from a plurality of least significant bits of the binary sum. A first data storage array (20) has a plurality of m-bit first storage bytes and is responsive to the byte pointer for storing received codeword data in the first storage bytes. A second data storage array (22) has a plurality of m-bit second storage bytes and is responsive to the byte and bit pointers for filling the second storage bytes with codeword data from the first data storage array (20). m-bit bytes of codeword data (25) are output from each filled second storage byte to provide successive m-bit bytes of codeword data. The use of a multistage approach in packing variable length codewords substantially reduces the complexity as compared to single stage designs.

Abstract: A 3-dimensional animation generating apparatus includes an image data storing section, a view point information input section, an image supervising section, an image data selecting section, a view point coordinate transforming section, an output image drawing section, a motion addressing section, a shadow area detecting section, and a shadow area supervising section. The image data storing section stores part image data and background image data in association with 3-dimensional coordinates of vertexes included in the image. The image data selecting section searches the image data by a unit of part. The apparatus further comprises a mechanism which, when information related to an observing view point is provided, determines which part image data exists in the visible area, transforms the visible part image data from the observing view point by view point coordinate transformation, and draws the resultant image data in a common drawing area. In addition, the apparatus further searches and supervises the part which can provide a shadow as a shadow area and the position of the light source related with the specific shadow area. When a new view point is selected, the shadow area transformed by view point coordinate transformation is drawn. Thus, the amount of both data and calculation for generating a scene with respect to a selected observing view point is effectively reduced.

Abstract: In a digital transmission system comprising a transmitter (2) coupled  via  a channel (4) to a receiver (6) a detection signal r k  is compared with a number of reference values to determine the destination symbols â k . Since the size of the received signal r k  is not known in advance, the ratio between the detection signal and the reference values is to be determined by adapting means (16) on the basis of the received signal and the decisions made. 
     The problem may then occur that as a result of an initially erroneous value of the ratio between detection signal and reference values not a correct adaptation is made. By recognizing according to the inventive idea such a situation because specific values of the symbols â k  are lacking, in such a situation said ratio can be brought to such a value by the correction means (18) that all the values of â k  again occur.

Abstract: An interrupt vector approach for a processor system loads an interrupt vector directly into an address register to minimize overhead of processing interrupts. A plurality of interrupt triggers correspond to a plurality of interrupt vector registers, each containing a programmable interrupt vector. Upon activation of one of the interrupt triggers, the contents of the corresponding interrupt vector is loaded into a slot memory address counter. The address counter addresses a sequencer slot memory which contains the starting addresses of sequences of instructions stored in -an instruction memory. An instruction address counter receives addresses from the sequencer slot memory and provides addresses to the instruction memory. Upon activation of said one of the interrupt triggers, execution of one of the sequences beginning at the address contained in the interrupt register corresponding to the active interrupt trigger is begun, and addresses of the sequences in sequencer slot memory are sequentially loaded into the instruction address counter until a stop bit is indicated in a word in the sequencer slot memory.
