Abstract: A plasma display device employs a minimum moving pixel distortion
(MPD) set of codewords for reducing visually perceived artifacts viewed on a plasma
display panel (PDP). The plasma display device includes a minimum MPD mapping
process, which maps by, for example, a ROM look-up table, received pixel intensity
values into intensity levels corresponding to selected ones of the set of codewords. By
increasing the number of subfields (or rounding the least significant bits (LSBs) of the
intensity pixels), redundant codewords that express pixel intensities can be generated
based on the sustain pulse vector with predetermined constraints. An optimal set of
codewords can be determined though (1) a random search; (2) an exhaustive search;
(3) dynamic programming or (4) a genetic algorithm based search which minimizes
the MPD distance. The mapped codewords are stored in a ROM lookup table as
display data by a plasma display controller. The plasma display controller then
provides the display data, line by line, to the plasma display panel (PDP) using a scan
driver and a data driver. Once the display data is loaded into the PDP for an image,
the plasma display controller enables the sustain pulse drivers to illuminate the
addressed cells with the intended sustain pulse train encoded by the codeword.

Title: Pump directed optical switching element
Inventor: BANEY DOUGLAS M
IPC: H04B10/27
Filed: 1998-11-30
Abstract: An optical switch (30; 50) includes a pump source (32), a pump
director, and a pump-dependent attenuator (36; 56). The pump-dependent
attenuator passes optical signals when it is supplied with pump energy at a
pumping wavelength and attenuates optical signals when it is not supplied
with pump energy. The pump source generates pump energy for the
pump-dependent attenuator, and the pump director optically manipulates the
delivery of pump energy to the pump-dependent attenuator. In a preferred
embodiment, the pump-dependent attenuator is an erbium-doped fiber (EDF)
(56), the pump source is a laser diode, and the pump director is a tunable
fiber Bragg grating (FBG) (54). The EDF is located along an optical signal
transmission path between an input waveguide and an output waveguide.
The tunable FBG is located along a transmission path between the laser
diode and the EDF. To operate the switch, pump energy at a pumping
wavelength is generated by the laser diode and transmitted toward the
tunable FBG. To turn on the switch, the FBG is tuned off of the pumping
wavelength of the EDF, thereby passing pump energy to the EDF, and to turn
off the switch, the FBG is tuned onto the pumping wavelength of the EDF,
thereby blocking pump energy to the EDF. An adjustable bandpass filter may
also be used as the pump director. The optical switch can also be applied to
various optical systems, such as a 1×N switch, add/drop multiplexers (180),
broadcast/multicast switches (220), and wavelength-selectable lasers (300).

(111, 211, 312, 452 and 562) arranged along the cavity-axial
direction and capable of being independently
pumped. The laser further includes a plurality of
waveguides with a diffraction grating (101a, 201a, 315,
411 and 511) and an active layer (103, 203, 303, 403
and 432) extending along the cavity-axial direction. The
waveguides are formed in the regions, respectively, and
coupled to each other along the cavity-axial direction.
Different first and second polatization modes are
defined by the coupled waveguides. The waveguides are
constructed such that light intensity distributions along
the cavity-axial direction in the first and second regions
when pumped are different between the first and second
polarization modes.

Abstract: A urine-receiving pad for men comprising a bag of a
laminated sheet comprising an inner sheet, an outer sheet and
an absorbent core therebetween, and a pair of elastic members
being provided along the opening, is disclosed. By holding and
pushing both ends of the elastic members with fingers, the
elastic members are buckling-deformed to open the opening.
when a penis is inserted into the opening and then the fingers
are released, the penis is suitably pressed by elastic
restoration forces of the elastic members, to prevent easy
coming out of the penis therefrom. Since the pressing force
resulting from the buckling-deformation of the elastic members
is so small, too much pressure onto the penis is prevented.
Further, the urine-receiving pad can be attached with only one
hand.

IPC: C09D167/08
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une composition sans plomb pouvant être appliquée sous forme de film et durcir pour former une couche protectrice au dos d'un miroir. Cette composition comprend une résine organique fluide et un inhibiteur de corrosion sélectionné dans un composé représenté par la formule (I) dans laquelle les radicaux individuels R?1, R2, R3 et R4¿ peuvent être identiques ou différents et représentent chacun hydrogène, un radical aliphatique, cycloaliphatique, aralyphatique ou aromatique, et peuvent être substitués ou non substitués; A représente hydrogène ou C¿Z-CR?5R6CN; X, Y et Z sont indépendamment sélectionnés de 0 à 5; et R5 et R6 sont tels que définis pour R?1, R2, R3 et R4¿ précités. L'additif préféré de cette composition est iminodiacétonitrile dans lequel A représente hydrogène; R?1, R2, R3 et R4¿ représentent chacun hydrogène; et X et Y valent 0. La résine organique peut être une résine thermoplastique ou thermodurcie appropriée pour recouvrir les couches réfléchissantes et autres couches métalliques d'un miroir. A titre d'exemple, les résines sont des résines alkydes, des résines acryliques, des résines alkydes modifiées, des polyesters, des huiles d'uréthane, des polymères ou copolymères d'halogénure vinylique, des vernis oléorésineux, des compositions de nitrocellulose, des vernis de résine phénol-formaldéhyde et des résines époxy. De préférence, la résine est un alkyde ou une résine alkyde modifiée. L'inhibiteur de corrosion précité peut être présent dans une quantité comprise entre environ 0,01 à 20 % en poids, de préférence entre 0,5 et 10 % en poids du système de revêtement de résine organique. Le système de résine doit être avant tout exempt de plomb et de sels de plomb.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un module d'écoulement enveloppant réalisé à partir d'une première plaque de matière qui comporte un canal d'écoulement laminaire de fluide; au moins deux orifices d'entrée, communiquant chacun avec le canal d'écoulement laminaire au niveau d'une jonction, la jonction du premier orifice d'entrée étant plus large que celle du second orifice; et un orifice de sortie du canal d'écoulement. Une seconde plaque, par exemple un couvercle transparent, scelle le module et permet des mesures optiques. Un premier orifice d'entrée permet l'introduction d'un premier fluide dans le canal d'écoulement. Le premier fluide est le fluide enveloppant. Un second orifice d'entrée permet l'introduction d'un second fluide dans le fluide enveloppant alors qu'il s'écoule dans le canal d'écoulement. Le second fluide est le fluide central. Vu que la jonction du second orifice d'entrée est plus étroite que la première, le fluide central se retrouve entouré des deux côtés par le fluide enveloppant. Après que tous les fluides aient été introduits et qu'on ait obtenu l'écoulement enveloppant, on peut diminuer la profondeur du canal d'écoulement, c'est le réglage hydrodynamique vertical. Eventuellement, on peut diminuer la largeur du canal d'écoulement, c'est le réglage hydrodynamique horizontal. Les réductions de la profondeur et de la largeur peuvent être graduelles ou brusques. Le dispositif selon la présente invention peut fonctionner selon deux modes, le mode écoulement enveloppant et le mode injecteur de particules, cela dépend des densités relatives du fluide enveloppant, du fluide central et de toutes les particules se trouvant dans un fluide comme dans l'autre.

Abstract: A motion detector system which is insensitive to environmental changes is disclosed. The invention is premised on the observation that environmental changes produce changes to the entire scene, whereas movement within a scene is localised to a sub-area within the scene. By assessing the images for changes affecting the entire scene, environmental changes can be distinguished from motion induced changes. Changes affecting the entire scene can be inhibited from generating alarms, thereby reducing false alarms. In a further embodiment, the local changes are compared to the global scene change to determine if the local change is consistent with the global change. Local changes which are inconsistent with the global change are subsequently assessed for motion detection.
