Patent CA-2381486-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WADA MASAHIRO
IPC: H04N17/00
Filed: 2002-04-11
Abstract: A first characteristic value extracting unit extracts a characteristic value from a picture transmitted from a transmission side, and a second characteristic value extracting unit extracts a characteristic value from a picture received on a reception side. These extracted characteristic values are supplied to a central monitoring unit through low speed lines, respectively. In the central monitoring unit, an MSE (mean square error) is assessed from the data by an MSE assessing unit. The first and second characteristic value extracting units divide an input picture into blocks, subject the blocks to an orthogonal transformation, or subject the blocks to PN sequence multiplication before the orthogonal transformation, and extract and output orthogonal transformation coefficients.  The MSE assessing unit determines the differences between corresponding coefficients on the transmission side and the reception side and squares the differences, adds the squared differences for every coefficients or every blocks, and assess an MSE based on the added values referred to a table.  With this operation, the MSE can be effectively assessed using a smaller amount of extracted data (accordingly, slower speed lines can be used in the central monitoring unit). -46-

Inventor: NARAYANAN SUDHA
IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: A rotary drive mechanism for use with a timer/sequence switch in an appliance is presented. The mechanism converts linear motion from a cam tracker following a programmed cam track to rotary motion to drive a vent damper in an appliance.  The rotary motion output is derived as a multiple of the input linear motion through a gear set. This input linear motion is translated to rotary motion imparted to a tracking rod, which is coupled through the gear set to an output actuating rod. Tracking by a tracking lobe is accommodated by a spring bias force applied though a bias lobe that counteracts the force applied by the cam track. Alternatively, tracking by a tracker is accommodated by a spring bias force applied through a torque arm of the tracking rod that also counteracts the force applied by the cam track.

Abstract: When using finite-state methods to capture multimodal integration, it is desirable to abstract over certain aspects of the gestural content. For abstraction, the gestural input is represented as a transducer which relates the specific content of the gestures to the gesture symbols. After multimodal integration, a projection is taken of the resulting finite-state machine and it is composed with the transducer representing the gestural input in order to reincorporate the specific contents that were left out of the finite-state process.
