Abstract: An improved electric solenoid for providing linear mechanical actuation.
The outer polepiece of the solenoid is provided with an axial, self-lubricated,
non-magnetic bearing for closely supporting and centering an actuating shaft
extending coaxially from the solenoid armature. Preferably, the radial tolerance
between the diameters of the bearing inner bore and the shaft is as small as in
practically possible without inducing drag of the shaft in the bearing, permitting
reduction of the air gap between the armature and the polepieces to a minimal
thickness. Preferably, the armature is axially tapered to avoid contact of the
armature with the polepieces as a result of residual tolerances between the
bearing and shaft. A significant increase in actuating force is realized in
comparison with a prior art solenoid, and the improved solenoid may be used in
any desired orientation.

Abstract: Aus einem Ressourcen-Pool (RP) wird für jeden konkurrierenden
Datenstrom (RPS) ein bestimmter Anteil (RS) entnommen und
zugeordnet. Anhand von Messdaten werden bei Bedarf dynamisch
Anpassungen vorgenommen, indem die beteiligten RPS nicht
benötigte Ressourcen an den gemeinsamen RP zurückgeben, bzw.
ihnen größere Anteile aus dem gemeinsamen RP zugewiesen
werden. Erreicht der Ressourcenbedarf einen vorgegebenen
Schwellwert nahe dem zugewiesenen RS, dann wird sein Anteil
erhöht, insofern noch nicht zugewiesene Ressourcen im RP
vorhanden sind. Ist eine Erhöhung des RSs nicht möglich, dann
wird erst nach Ablauf einer vorgegebenen Zeitspanne erneut
geprüft ob eine Erhöhung notwendig (gemessener Bedarf hat
Schwellwert erreicht) und möglich ist. Umgekehrt wird ein
bestimmter Teil eines RSs an den gemeinsamen RP
zurückgegeben, wenn dieser für eine vorgegebene Zeitspanne
nicht benötigt wurde. Ist der gemeinsame RP jedoch mindestens
bis zu einem vorgegebenen Schwellwert gefüllt, dann wird die
Rückgabe nicht vorgenommen und zunächst erneut geprüft ob der
zurückzugebende Anteil für eine weitere Zeitspanne der
vorgegebenen Länge nicht benötigt wird.

Abstract: An image retrieval method with improved performance in which a data image similar to a query image is retrieved by appropriately combining colour and texture features. The method for retrieving a data image similar to a query image in an image database containing a plurality of data images involves: calculating colour and texture distances between a query image and each data image in the image database; weighting the calculated colour and texture distances with predetermined weighting factors; calculating a feature distance between the query image and each data image by combining the weighted colour and texture distances by considering human's visual perception attributes; and determining the data image similar to the query image using the feature distance. According to the image retrieval method, data images similar to a query image can be retrieved based on the human visual perception mechanism by combining both colour and texture features extracted from image regions. In particular, the image region based retrieval enables much accurate retrieval of more objects and many kinds of information from a single image.

Abstract: Methods for determining the polygonal intersection or union of a first polygon
and a second polygon are disclosed. To determine the polygonal intersection of the first
polygon and the second polygon, an intersection of the boundary of the first polygon with
the boundary of the second polygon is located by finding a point from which at least three
portions of boundaries extend. From this point, a first portion of the boundary of the
polygonal intersection is determined by identifying a portion of the boundary of the first
polygon that is located inside the second polygon. Each subsequent portion of the
boundary of the polygonal intersection is determined by selecting that portion of the
boundary of either the first polygon or the second polygon that (1) connects to a leading
end of a current portion of the boundary of the polygonal intersection and (2) forms the
least angle with the current portion of the boundary of the polygonal intersection. A
union of the boundary of the first polygon with the boundary of the second polygon is
located by finding a node from which at least three portions (i.e., links) of polygon
boundaries extend. From this node, a first portion of the boundary of the polygonal union
is determined by identifying a portion of the boundary of the first polygon that is located
outside the second polygon. Each subsequent portion of the boundary of the polygonal
union is determined by selecting that portion of the boundary of either the first polygon
or the second polygon that (1) connects to a leading end of a current portion of the
boundary of the polygonal union and (2) forms the largest angle with the current portion
of the boundary of the polygonal union.

Abstract: An image processing system and demosaicing method are provided to calculate
estimated missing color sensor values (125) in an image using a linear prediction from the
raw color sensor value (30) at the current pixel location. The raw image is divided into

scalability. A hierarchical order is assigned to the I/O tasks to ensure that there is a
forward progression of the higher-level I/O task and to ensure that resources do not
