IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: A system and method is provided for seamlessly switching between different
network access technologies without interrupting active network applications or sessions.
A Network Access Arbitrator (NAA), which contains a virtual network adapter driver,
resides between a Data Link Layer and a Network Layer of the standard OSI-7 Layer
Protocol Stack for controlling necessary switching between different network access
technologies. Since all network applications are controlled by layers residing on or
above the Network Layer, all applications using network services provided by the
Network Layer will continue their active network sessions or applications without
disruption, as the NAA switches between different network access technologies.

Abstract: A fast, texture morphing algorithm for real-time computer simulation and video games dynamically generates objects 'on the fly' by simplifying and reducing the computational load required for a texture morphing/blending process. Incremental interpolation techniques compute a morh parameter based on previous value and morph change rate. Precomputed initial and incremental morph parameter values for each texel component are applied during real-time morphing procedures using integer arithmetic. Approximation errors are reduced by incrementing/decrementing by an extra integer value when the number of morph iterations is a multiple of a frame counter. The frame counter avoids over-runs, and the morphing procedure is 'snapped' the texel value to the precise texture target value to prevent under-runs and corresponding artifacts. Interlacing (applying interpolation to a subset of the texels each frame) significantly reduces computational load without introducing significant image artifacts. The morph texture buffer data structure is initially decomposed off-line to reduce the number of real-time calculations required to manipulate texel component data.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus creates images by exciting magnetic resonance
in selected nuclei disposed within an image region. Through the image region a main
magnetic field (B 0 ) is applied and transverse gradients are produced. At selected times a
high power RF pulse is applied to the imaging region causing the selected nuclei to
resonate. These magnetic resonance signals are detected by a receive coil (D 1 , D 2 ) and
converted into an image representation viewable on a display (24). Images are obtained by
repeating the transmit and receive portions until enough image data is received to produce
an image. The receive coil (D 1 , D 2 ) includes first decoupler circuits (28) arranged about the
coil. During the transmit portion of the cycle, the decoupler circuits sense the high power
RF pulse and decouple the coil. High speed switching diodes or PIN diodes are excited by
the transmit RF pulse to switch inductors (40) into the coil to decouple the receive coil.
During a receive portion of a cycle in which the coil is not used, a DC bias is selectively
applied to the coil forcing the diodes on, actively decoupling the coil. The DC bias also
biases a diode switch (50, 50') to short the input of a preamplifier element (48, 48')
providing protection.
