Title: User interface tools for cropping and straightening image
Inventor: RANDY UBILLOS
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2012-12-28
Abstract: Disclosed are on-image cropping and straightening tools, on-image brush tools (applying operations by selecting areas or based on number of touches or touch pressure, a smart edge detection tool, and effect removal operations), and on-image effect tools (gradient tool, tilt shift tool, vignette tool) useable in image editing applications. Also disclosed is an image editing application displaying different sets of UI items to accommodate limited screen sizes. Claimed is displaying an image (1320) in an image display area of an image editing application, and upon receiving a selection of a rotation tool (421), automatically detecting a horizon line (1345) of the image and overlaying on the image a selectable user interface (UI) item (1335, 1340) that is automatically aligned with the detected horizon line to indicate the detected horizon line. Upon receiving a selection of the selectable UI item (1304), the image is rotated (1305) by automatically levelling the detected horizon line of the image with respect to a border of the image display area. The image may be zoomed in or cropped while it is being rotated, and an arrow indicating the direction of rotation of the horizontal line upon selection of the UI may be provided.

Title: Automatic location based addressing method for network participants in a serial bus system
Inventor: HESAM AKBARIAN
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2019-05-17
Abstract: A method of detecting and identifying modules of a bus system 100 is disclosed, the system having a control unit 110, a bus 116 starting from the control unit, and a plurality of modules 120, 120a-c connected to the bus. The method includes providing in association with each module a current sink comprising a transistor 124 (and possibly a resistor 122) and a hall sensor 126 detecting a current on a low-side data line of the bus 116. When the sensor detects a current on the data line, the transistor is maintained in a closed position, but when it fails to detect a current the transistor is opened to prevent current flow to the module. When no current is detected, the associated module may determine that it is the last module positioned on the bus, and may assign itself an identifier which it shares with the other modules, so that modules may each have different identifiers. This automatic addressing system provides an advantage over prior art systems in which modules are assigned an identifier during manufacturing. The modules may communicate using LIN (local interconnect network) or controller area network protocols, and the modules may be in a vehicle.

Title: Electrical power supply system
Inventor: MICHAEL ZAGRODNIK
IPC: H02M3/156
Filed: 2019-11-07
Abstract: An electrical power supply system has a DC distribution bus (10); a rechargeable battery module (24) which delivers power to the bus (10) in a discharge mode, and absorbs power in a recharge mode; a DC/DC converter (26) connected between the bus and the battery comprising an inductor (L) and plural switches and heat transfer means between the converter (26) and the battery (24). The battery (24) has an idling mode in which it neither delivers power to nor absorbs power from the bus (10). In this mode, the converter is switchable between a ramping-up configuration of the switches where a current is withdrawn from a source (one of the bus or battery), flows through the inductor (L) and is returned to said source, and a freewheeling configuration in which the current from the ramping-up configuration is isolated from said source to flow in a loop within the converter. A controller controls the repeated switching between the configurations such that, in the idling mode, heat resulting from the repeated switching and the current flow produced thereby in the converter (26) is transferred by the heat transfer means from the converter to heat the rechargeable battery module (24).

Title: Controlling command execution in a computer network
Inventor: SAMI PÖNKÄNEN
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2021-04-07
Abstract: A security entity controls execution of commands by a target host in a computer system. The security entity terminates a secure transport channel carrying at least one stream of data from a client host, the security entity being a separate entity from the target host and the at least one stream of data comprising first type of data and second type of data comprising at least one command for the target host. An emulator of the security entity analyses the at least one stream of data to determine the at least one command for the target host and checks allowability of the at least one command for the target host. If the at least one command is allowable, execution of the at least one allowable command at the target host is caused by sending the at least one allowable command to the target host on an execution channel separately from the at least one stream of data. If the at least one command is nonallowable, the at least one command is not sent to the target host.
