Inventor: SHARPS CHESTER H
IPC: A63B21/02
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a golf exercise weight machine for anaerobically strengthening the large rotary muscles of the body-including the upper thigh, trunk and abdomen, and shoulders-most used in performing a golf swing. Preferably, the device includes a floor mounted base to which a yoke is rotatably attached to fit around the shoulders and arms of a user, so that during operation the user's body remains oriented in the proper swing position so as to mimic and improve the golf swing by strengthening the appropriate muscles. A weight stack provides variable resistance during the simulated golf swing, and the device offers adjustment over multiple degrees of freedom and it can accommodate both right-and left-handed swings.

Abstract: Procédé de découverte selon lequel un dispositif (10) produit des messages (112, 120 126) ayant ensemble pour objet l'identification d'un nombre prédéterminé de dispositifs qui satisfont à une condition de test incluse dans chaque message. Ces messages sont envoyés respectivement aux dispositifs en ligne (12, 20, 26) voisins du dispositif (10). Pour garantir le fait que pas plus de dispositifs que ce qui est nécessaire sont identifiés par les messages, chaque message comporte une variable désignée sous le terme de groupe de jetons qui indique le nombre de dispositifs destinés à être découverts par le message. De plus, chaque message comporte un identificateur unique. Lorsqu'un dispositif (12, 20 26) reçoit un message de découverte envoyé par un autre dispositif, il détermine s'il satisfait à la condition de test et si oui, il envoie un message d'acceptation au dispositif d'origine, réduit le groupe de jetons dans le message et transmet tout jeton restant à un autre voisin. Le processus s'arrête une fois que tous les jetons ont été éliminés de cette façon. Si un message atteint la fin du parcours sans s'être débarrassé de tous les jetons, le message est renvoyé vers le haut pour essayer différents parcours jusqu'à ce que finalement tous les parcours aient été essayés ou qu'un critère de restriction (par ex. nombre maximal permis de bonds) soit rempli, après quoi ledit message est renvoyé en tant que message manqué au dispositif d'origine.

IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2004-08-05
Abstract: An image signal processing apparatus and method perform
appropriate correction of image blurring in accordance with
an image characteristic. In the apparatus, a user interface
designates a blurring parameter, and a control signal
generating unit generates a control signal corresponding to
the designated parameter. An image characteristic detecting
unit determines directions in which pixels in an input image
have flat levels and directions in which pixels in the input
image have levels corresponding to edges. Based on the
determination, an address calculating unit reads
coefficients from a coefficient ROM and supplies the
coefficients to a product-sum calculating unit. The
product-sum calculating unit generates a blurring-eliminated
image by performing product-sum calculation using the
coefficients. A post-processing unit produces an output
image based on the input image and the result of product-sum
calculation.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant packaging approach protects an integrated circuit (100) from undesirable access. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, data is encrypted as a function of the state of a plurality of magnetically-responsive circuit elements (130-135) and then decrypted as a function of the state (130-135). A package (106) is arranged to prevent access to the integrated circuit and having magnetic particles (120-125) therein. The magnetic particles (120-125) are arranged to cause the magnetically-responsive circuit elements (130-135) to take on a state that is used to encrypt the data. The state of these elements is again accordingly used to decrypt the data (e.g., as a key). When the magnetic particles are altered, for example, by removing a portion of the package, the state of one or more of the magnetically-responsive circuit elements is changed, thus rendering the state incapable of being used for decrypting the data.
