Title: Method of improving a digital image
Inventor: RAHMAN ZIA-UR
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 1997-05-08
Granted: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A method of improving a digital image is provided. The image is initially represented by digital data indexed to represent positions on a display. The digital data is indicative of an intensity value Ii(x,y) for each position (x,y) in each i-th spectral band. The intensity value for each position in each i-th spectral band is adjusted to generate an adjusted intensity value for each position in each i-th spectral band in accordance with where S is the number of unique spectral bands included in said digital data, Wn is a weighting factor and "*" denotes the convolution operator. Each surround function Fn(x,y) is uniquely scaled to improve an aspect of the digital image, e.g., dynamic range compression, color constancy, and lightness rendition. The adjusted intensity value for each position in each i-th spectral band is filtered with a common function and then presented to a display device. For color images, a novel color restoration step is added to give the image true-to-life color that closely matches human observation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing position information from satellite positioning system satellites and from cellular based communication signals. In one example of a method according to the invention, a SPS receiver receives SPS signals from at least one SPS satellite. This SPS receiver is coupled to and typically integrated with a communication system which receives and transmits messages in a cell based communication system. In this method, a message is transmitted in the cell based communication signals between a communication system and a first cell based transceiver. A time measurement which represents a time of travel of a message in the cell based communication signals between the cell based transceiver and the communication system is determined. Another time measurement which represents a time of travel of the SPS signals is also determined. A position of the SPS receiver is determined from a combination of at least the time measurement which represents the time of travel of a message in the cell based communication signals and from a time measurement which represents the time of travel of the SPS signals. The cell based communication signals are capable of communicating data messages in a two-way direction in one embodiment between the cell based transceiver and the communication system.

Title: Combination convection and steamer oven
Inventor: MILLER BEN
IPC: A21B3/04
Filed: 1987-03-23
Granted: 1988-11-10
Abstract: A cooking oven for cooking foodstuffs with either steam or forced convection hot air. In the steam mode, steam is continuously generated in the oven cavity (18). Alternatively, in the convection mode, the amount of moisture supplied to the cavity is controlled. A fan (26) circulates the air or steam in the oven cavity. The steam is generated by means of a slinger cup (66) to which water is supplied and from which water will flow in a thin film over an edge portion of the cup to be slung outwardly and to be atomized by centrifugal force. The atomized water is then caused to flow, by means of the fan, over a heater (36) to be heated thereby whereby the atomized water flashes into water vapor or steam. The oven is operated at atmospheric pressure. Food juices and condensed steam or water vapor which collect in the bottom of the oven will be drained therefrom by means of a drain which is open to the atmosphere. The oven temperature is selectively variable by means of an automatic control (84).

Title: Two-way ring communication system for elevator group control
Inventor: AUER BRUNO
IPC: B66B5/02
Filed: 1987-04-02
Granted: 1989-05-18
Abstract: Each car controller (10) in a multicar elevator system provides two serial asynchronous full duplex I/O channels to communicate with the next and previous car controllers. These two channels allow the transmission of a message in two opposite directions (32,34) on a communications ring. A single interruption of the ring, by a interrupted transmission line or a disturbed car controller for example, guarantees the transmission of messages to each car controller in at least one of the two directions. Each car controller contains three remote serial link interfaces. The first remote serial link interfaces to the car fixtures; car buttons, car tell tale lights, etc. The second remote serial link interfaces to car related hall fixtures; hall position indicator hall lantern, etc. The third remote serial link interfaces to the group related hall fixtures; hall buttons, hall tell tale lights, etc. To ensure the operation of the group related hall fixtures if a car controller fails or is switched off, a switchover module (28,36) is used. The purpose of the switchover module is to connect the group related hall fixtures to one of two car controllers. In the event that a car controller fails or is switched off, the switchover module connects the group related hall fixtures to the other car controller.
