Abstract: A method for creating brightness filters. The brightness filters are used in a projection system in which divided images are projected on a curved screen from a plurality of projectors with adjacent divided images overlapped partially, in order to adjust brightness of the divided images beforehand so that brightness of overlapping areas between the divided images is in harmony with brightness of non-over-lapping areas. The feature of the present invention resides in that the method includes a step of allocating one of the divided images to a reference image and allocating each of the adjacent divided images to a peripheral image, setting a view point that is coincident with the projection point of the reference image, and obtaining a 2-dimensional reference area of the reference image that is rendered on the screen model and is viewed from the view point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of thermometers for measuring the temperature of the liquid contents of containers. It is undesirable to open a container (such as a wine bottle) to measure the temperature of its liquid contents. Nevertheless, it is otherwise problematic to follow the temperature change in a container placed in either a cooling or heating incubator. The present invention provides a device for externally estimating the temperature of the liquid contents of a container ( 36 ) with a concave base (particularly wine bottles), comprising a support means ( 1 ) with contacting portions ( 2 ) for contacting the base of said container (particularly at its perimeter), a temperature probe ( 3 ) positioned within the support means ( 1 ) such that in use the probe ( 3 ) may measure the temperature within the space enclosed by the concave base of the container and the support means ( 1 ), and a system for displaying the estimated temperature of the container's liquid and/or indicating when the desired temperature has been reached.

Abstract: A phased array antenna system with controllable electrical tilt generates two signals V 2 a and V 2 b with variable relative delay therebetween. The signals are converted into antenna element drive signals by a power distribution network. The network splits each of the two signals V 2 a and V 2 b into three signal components. Pairs of components of different signals are input respective hybrid coupling devices (hybrids), which provide vector sums and differences of their inputs and act as phase-to-power converters. Their outputs are distributed between further hybrids, which act as power-to-phase converters and provide antenna element drive signals with phase varying both with element array position and also with the variable relative delay between the two signals V 2 a and V 2 b. Antenna electrical tilt is therefore controllable by altering a single relative delay.

Abstract: A queuing server is used for reliable message transport, where one subsystem desires to execute one or more ordered operations asynchronously. Messages are sent to the queue in groups, which may have one or more messages. Messages within a particular group are processed in a predetermined order. Optionally, groups of messages can marked as correlated such that all groups within a particular correlation can be processed in a predetermined order. A message can be stored in a SQL database table until processing of that message is complete. The receiving side of the message system can be scaled across multiple machines and/or across available resources of any given machine. The system can handle "disaster" scenarios on both the sending side (i.e. the sending machine crashes in the middle of sending a group), and the receiving side (i.e., a power failure causes a reboot in at least one of the receiving machines).

Abstract: There is described a multi-channel encoder (10; 600) for processing input signals conveyed in N input channels to generate corresponding output signals conveyed in M output channels together with complementary parametric data; M and N are integers wherein N>M. The encoder (10; 600) includes a down-mixer for down-mixing the input signals to generate the corresponding output signals, the encoder also comprising an analyser for processing the input signals to generate the parameter data, said parametric data describing mutual differences between the N channels of input signal to allow for regenerating during decoding one or more of the N channels of input signals from the M channels of output signal. Such an encoder (10; 600) is capable of providing highly efficient data encoding and also of being backwards compatibility with relatively simpler decoders having fewer than N decoding output channels. The invention also concerns decoders (800) compatible with such a multi-channel encoder (10; 600).
