Title: Alignment of lenticular substrate and image for autostereoscopic images
Inventor: STREET GRAHAM STEWART BRANDON
IPC: G02B30/27
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the production of an autostereoscopic and/or animated image on a lenticular screen is provided. In order to achieve the required accuracy for a good lenticular image, a detector is used to measure the location of an edge of the image bearing substrate and image data is positioned relative to this edge. The substrate may be a conventional print medium for subsequent attachment to the lenticular screen or the screen itself. As an alternative to the edge of the substrate, the lens elements of the screen can provide the frame of reference for accurate registration of the image. This is achieved by viewing a defined reference grid through the lenticular screen and converting the observed Moiré pattern into data suitable for positioning the elements of the required image, thereby accommodating dimensional variations within the screen.

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated
according to an input signal for producing relevant signal
points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is
divided into two, first and second, data streams. The
signal points are divided into signal point groups to which
data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of
the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of
each signal point group. A difference in the transmission
error rate between the first and second data streams is
developed by shifting the signal points to other positions
in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first
and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a
received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is
divided by a transmitter into two, low and high, frequency
band components which are designated as a first and a second
data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a
receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component
or both the low and high frequency band components, depending
on its capability.

Abstract: A database system wherein one or more entry databases store a plurality of entries. Each entry is of a given type that defines the fields of the entry. Each field contains or identifies an object with associated attributes or data. The type of each entry may further define behavior in the form of methods the entry can implement. An entry type which is a subtype of another inherits all fields and behavior of its super-type, and contains additional fields and/or defines new/modified behavior. Entries may be expressed in a JavaTM programming language. The database system may further employ a search engine which allows queries to be made upon entries in the database. In one implementation, the queries include a read operation, a take operation, and a notify operation. Each query request includes a command indicating the type of operation, and a template which is an entry object having some or all of its fields set to specific values that must be matched exactly. Other fields of the template entry may be specified as wildcards, whose values do not matter. The search engine may further be configured to create an index for catching entries having characteristics which are commonly specified by queries. In one implementation, the databases may also store sets of entries which are matched using sets of templates.

Title: Film used as a substrate for integrated circuits
Inventor: SAUER VERONIKA
IPC: H05K1/00
Filed: 1999-04-07
Abstract: The chips for chip cards are customarily provided on a film strip which consists of a synthetic foil and a conductor track pattern and are connected to the conductor track pattern by way of bonding wires. Automatic mounting is made possible by the use of a film strip with periodically arranged conductor track patterns. For chips which can be driven via contacts as well as in a contactless manner, using a coil, conductor tracks are effectively provided on both sides of the synthetic foil forming the film strip. However, the film strip then becomes very inflexible so that it cannot be suitably handled by conventional automatic apparatus. The invention proposes to provide the metal foils wherefrom the conductor tracks are cut out with additional interruptions which reduce the cross-section of the metal foils at short intervals in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the film. The film strip thus becomes more flexible so that it can be handled by conventional automatic apparatus.
