Abstract: A multifunction exercise apparatus having a seat portion ( 47 ) and a backrest ( 48 ) in the configuration of a chair, which in a first passive mode conceals the presence of a plurality of exercise elements which together form an exercise apparatus, and in a second exercise mode reveals one or more of said exercise elements for a user, the position of the seat portion ( 47 ) being altered and locked in a position with respect to a base portion and support surface on which the apparatus stands when the apparatus is moved between its first passive mode and the second exercise mode. This provides a comfortable chair construction that will fit in well with conventional home or office furniture when the apparatus is not required to be used for an exercise session.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus 6 has means for illuminating a selected surface with a radar beam footprint, and means for profiling/processing the resultant radar returns in an efficient and logical fashion such as to derive radar attitude information in real time about a number of predefined axes associated with the radar which depends upon the relative dispositions of the radar and the selected surface and upon the radar beam footprint characteristics. Advantageously, a plurality of transmit beams 10,11,12 are used to image the surface and the processing arrangement has the capability of determining roll, pitch and/or yaw pointing data associated with the radar, such pointing data being determined by derivation of the attitude information and by selective input of terrain elevation data so as to take account of variations in the radar viewing geometry with terrain elevation. The inventive radar bears a definite low cost advantage over known radar designs, and retains utility for many applications, for example spaceborne and airborne applications.

Abstract: A low consumption power is realized in a communication type that a ratio of transmission between apparatus limited to a relatively short distance occupies most of communications.  Upon reception of transmission data constituted of a bit series, a wireless transmission module unit performs an on/off operation of an antenna switch connected to an antenna, in accordance with a bit image of the transmission data, and transmits, by a back scattering scheme, the transmission data as reflected radio waves of radio waves from a transmission destination generated by a change in an antenna load impedance. The antenna switch is generally made of a gallium arsenide IC, its consumption power is several 10 µW or less, and it becomes possible to realize ultra low consumption wireless image transmission.

Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer program products, for speech animation. The system includes a speech animation engine and a client application in communication with the speech animation engine. The client application sends a request for speech animation to the speech animation engine. The request identifies data to be used to generate the speech animation, where speech animation is speech synchronized with facial expressions. The client application receives a response from the speech animation engine. The response identifies the generated speech animation. The client application uses the generated speech animation to animate a talking agent displayed on a user interface of the client application. The speech animation engine receives the request for speech animation from the client application, retrieves the data identified in the request without user intervention, generates the speech animation using the retrieved data and sends the response identifying the generated speech animation to the client application.
