Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de synthèse d'images comportant une texture, qui correspondent à l'aspect de la texture d'un échantillon numérisé donné d'une image. Cette synthèse est entièrement automatique. L'appareil produit, pour l'image cible échantillon à texture, des paramètres de texture qui reflètent la texture dans cette image (204). Ces paramètres de texture sont utilisés pour modifier une image de bruit de telle sorte qu'elle atteigne une texture de l'image (208) cible à texture. Pour améliorer encore la texture de l'image de bruit modifiée, on construit une pyramide d'images pour l'image de bruit modifiée et pour l'image cible échantillon à texture. Ensuite, l'appareil met à jour de manière itérative l'image de bruit modifiée, selon une procédure faisant passer de la texture grossière à la fine, en utilisant les sous-bandes des pyramides d'images. L'image de sortie est une image de bruit modifiée et mise à jour qui a atteint la texture de l'image (210) cible échantillon à texture.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil permettant d'obtenir une séquence de caractère à équilibrage par composante de courant continu à commande par transition à partir d'une séquence d'entrée d'octets de données. Les bits de chaque octet de données sont complétés de manière sélective en fonction du nombre de transitions logiques dans chaque octet de données, pour obtenir des blocs de données complétés de manière sélective. Une disparité cumulative est ensuite déterminée entre les valeurs logiques de différents types comprises dans certains des blocs de données complétés sélectivement préalablement codés en caractères. On détermine en outre une disparité courante dans un caractère candidat associé à un bloc courant appartenant à des blocs de données complétés sélectivement en cours de codage. Le caractère candidat est attribué au bloc courant des blocs de données complétés sélectivement si la disparité courante est une polarité opposée à la première polarité de la disparité cumulative. Dans le cas contraire, le complément du caractère candidat est attribué au bloc courant des blocs de données complétés sélectivement si la disparité courante est de la première polarité. Dans un mode de fonctionnement à transition élévée, les bits à l'intérieur des blocs de données comprenant moins d'un nombre minimum de transitions logiques sont complétés sélectivement afin que chacun des blocs de données complétés sélectivement comprennent plus que le nombre minimum de transitions logiques. Dans un mode de fonctionnement à faible transition, les bits à l'intérieur des blocs de données comportant plus qu'un nombre prédéterminé de transitions logiques sont complétés sélectivement afin que chacun de ces blocs de données complétés sélectivement comprenne moins que le nombre maximum de transitions logiques.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for spacing characters
rendered from a digital font at an output pointsize. The font
has first spacing metrics for a small pointsize and for a
different large pointsize. The method includes calculating a
separation by interpolating the small pointsize metrics and
the large pointsize metrics and spacing the pair as a function
of the calculated separation. Embodiments may include the
following features. The font has spacing metrics for at least
three different pointsizes. The spacing metrics include left
sidebearings, right sidebearings, or kerning values. A
kerning value for a character pair is generated by
interpolating a first kerning value at a small pointsize and a
second kerning value at a large pointsize to the output
pointsize. The invention also features a computer program on
a computer-readable medium having instructions for rendering
characters and two sets of spacing metrics at two different
pointsizes. The invention also features a computer program
having instructions for rendering a set of characters and a
set of kerning values for all pairs consisting of one
character from the set of characters and the space character.
A method of the invention for justifying a line of text
includes the steps of obtaining a kerning value for the pair
(space, left-most text character) and a kerning value for the
pair (right-most text character, space), positioning the text
characters at the margins according to the kerning values. A
method of the invention includes the steps of reading kerning
information into a random access memory, adding the kerning
information to a matrix addressable by character pairs, using
a pair of characters to address the matrix, using the matrix
value to calculate a separation, and spacing the pair as a
function of the calculated separation.

Abstract: An adaptive trellis decoder (40) seamlessly switches between multiple operational modes. The decoder switches between multiple modes and accommodates data type transitions using a single state transition trellis with a predetermined number of states. The system decodes trellis encoded video data encoded in different formats respectively containing different numbers of levels associated with different modes. The decoder system adaptively operates in response to a configuration signal distinguishing between the modes, and employs a state transition trellis with the same number of trellis decoding states for decoding encoded data of different formats. The state transition decoding trellis may also be reset to a predetermined state in response to a synchronization signal (10) generated as a result of a transition from one type of data to another or in response to a mode change.

Abstract: The padless touch sensor (10) is used for detecting a touch at a sensing location (22) onto a dielectric element (20) by a user (24) coupled to earth. The sensor (10) comprises a conductive plate (30) attached under the dielectric element (20) and in registry with the sensing location (22). A predetermined potential is applied on the conductive plate (30). Simultaneously, test pulses (V t ) are produced into earth. When the user (24) touches the dielectric element (20) at the sensing location (22), a potential variation in the conductive plate (30) is produced during a test pulse (V t ) due to a capacitive circuit formed between earth, the user (24) and the sensor (10). No deposition of conductive pads on the dielectric element (20) or other special processes are required. Foreign matter or objects placed directly on top of the dielectric element (20) will not erroneously produce a touch condition. The present invention may be used in the construction of keyboards, such as in appliances or for shopping windows.

Abstract: L'invention se réfère à un procédé et à un appareil de traitement de signaux optiques, destinés à produire une boucle de rétroaction de bruit employant le bruit existant à l'intérieur d'un système optique pour saturer une chaîne d'amplificateurs situés après l'unité de branchement, en vue de prévenir une suramplification de canaux d'informations dans un signal multiplexé en division de longueur d'onde contenant des canaux vides, lors du passage de ces canaux à travers des amplificateurs situés en aval. Ce procédé et cet appareil emploient un amplificateur à extraction existant, qui émet un bruit d'émission spontanée amplifiée (ASE) comme effet secondaire. Un coupleur permet de connecter le bruit ASE à un filtre. Le bruit ASE filtré est introduit dans un amplificateur de réseau existant au moyen d'un second coupleur. L'amplificateur de réseau accroît le gain en direction du bruit ASE filtré à un niveau suffisant pour saturer la chaîne d'amplificateurs, sans recours à un dispositif externe producteur de bruit.

Abstract: Adaptive FIR filters are often used in the adaptive digital
signal processing of e.g. voice and music signals, LMS or
NLMS algorithms frequently being employed for the adaptation.
The adaptation properties of the NLMS algorithm are
independent of the signal level, in contrast to the LMS algorithm.
However, the NLMS algorithm still has the disadvantage
that the adaptation properties are not independent of
the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. Instead of using an
LMS algorithm, on the one hand, and an NLMS algorithm, on
the other hand, the use of a single, third non-linear algorithm
over the entire possible range of values is desirable.
According to the invention, this is achieved by using, in a
generalised LMS algorithm, a step size which is a non-linear
function of the signal-to-noise ratio of the input signal.

Abstract: In a clamshell housing (101), such as is used for portable devices, engaging elements
other than screws or hooks are employed to prevent the two halves (103,105) of a clamshell housing (101)
from having significant slippage between them along the interface at which they meet
when the clamshell is subjected to bending and/or torsional moments. Such engaging
elements may include slip preventing elements at the clamshell halves interface, e.g.,
various forms of interlocking teeth (e.g. 109,111,113,115), elements that increase friction, or the like, which are
added to, or molded into, each half of the housing (103,105). By restricting relative motion along
the plane of the interface, the propensity to separate along the direction perpendicular to
the interface plane is reduced. This is achieved because the restriction of the relative
motion increases the bending and torsional rigidities.
