IPC: H04B1/30
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: A feedback compensation detector for a direct conversion transmitter includes a baseband processor, a direct up-converter, an antenna, and an impairment detection and compensation feedback circuit. The baseband processor generates an in-phase (I) baseband signal and a duadrature-phase (Q) baseband signal. The direct up-converter is coupled to the baseband processor, and combines the I and Q baseband signals with an RF carrier signal to generate an RF output signal. The antenna is coupled to the direct up-converter, and transmits the RF output signal. The impairment detection and compensation feedback circuit is coupled to the RF output signal and the I and Q baseband signals. The impairment detection and compensation feedback circuit down-converts the RF output signal to generate an intermediate frequency (IF) signal, measures as least one signal impairment in the IF signal, and pre-distorts the I and Q baseband signals to compensate for the measured signal impairment.

Title: Method and apparatus for vertically locking input and output signals
Inventor: TARACI BRIAN RICHARD
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: This invention describes a method and apparatus for vertically locking input and output video frame rates. The output vertical sync pulse is locked in phase with the input vertical sync pulse, regardless of the input format and frequency. The output resolution, horizontal refresh rate, and delay are all user selectable.  Two Phase Locked Loops are connected in series to achive vertical lock between the input and output frames. Locking the vertical sync pulses between the input and output frames will eliminate mixing of pixels from different input frames in one output frame.  The first Phase Locked Loop generates the output pixel clock required to satisfy the user's display preferences but may not precisely represent the desired output pixel clock required for frame locking because current Phase Locked Loops use integer dividers. A  second Phase Locked Loop adjusts its output, which is the reference frequency to the first Phase Locked Loop, until a lock is achieved.

Patent CA-2410501-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN XUEMIN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: An automatic sprite generation system uses first-order prediction for initial estimation, delayed elimination for outlier rejection, and field-based sprite generation for an interlaced source. Higher-order prediction for the initial estimation may be used to handle more complicated motion. The invention addresses outlier and fast motion problems that are not handled by the existing MPEG-4 scheme. Automatic sprite generation is provided by performing shot detection (e.g., panning or zooming) on the input images to provide a group of successive images that share a common scene for use in forming a sprite. The initial estimation of motion parameter data for forming the sprite uses the motion parameter data of at least two previous input images. Delayed outlier rejection is performed in two steps by eliminating pixels whose error increases in successive sprite iterations. For interlaced input images, a sprite and set of motion parameters are encoded and transmitted for each field separately.

Inventor: NEWKIRK REX W
IPC: C12P7/02
Filed: 2002-11-29
Abstract: Discloses a process for production of inositol, which is a highly valued B-vitamin, from plant material. Inositol is present in the plant start material as a phytate, which is the storage form for phosphorus in the plants. A phytase enzyme is introduced to an aqueous slurry of plant material to partially hydrolyse myoinositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis (dihydrogen phosphate) to generate inositol phosphates (myoinositol penta phosphate (IP5) myoinositol tetra phosphate (IP4), myoinositol triphosphate (IP3), myoinositol diphosphate (IP2) and myoinositol monophosphate (IP1) but without substantial hydrolysis of myoinositol 1-phosphate IP1). The insoluble materials are filtered from the slurry output and the charged ionic species of the solution are recovered into an ionic fraction.  The inositol phosphates in the ionic fraction are fully hydrolized, by process parameters of pressure temperature and pH or an enzyme such as acid phosphatase. The charged ionic species of the solution are removed leaving a neutral inositol enriched fraction. The inositol in the inositol enriched fraction solution can be concentrated, crystallized and dried to form a final dry inositol product.
