IPC: G02B30/00
Filed: 1990-01-24
Abstract: A method of restoring the coherent light transmitting 
property of a first plate-like transparent medium which 
has a specific refractive index and an irregular surface 
that produces light scattering image distortion is 
described which comprises the steps of applying a clear 
hardenable plastics material to the said irregular 
surface, the plastics material having a refractive index 
substantially equal to the refractive index of the 
transparent medium and then applying a surface of a 
second transparent medium directly to the plastics 
material in adhering relationship thereto, one of the 
opposing surfaces of the second transparent medium being 
smooth and becoming the outside surface of a laminate 
formed by the first transparent medium, the plastics 
material and the second transparent medium.  
     In addition an optical structure (2) is provided 
comprising a first light transmitting plate member (6) 
having a smooth exterior surface (26) and an opposing 
inner surface (12) sculpted with forms or figures 
topographically contouring the inner surface (12); a 
 
 
second light transmitting plate member (8) secured to the 
inner surface (12) of the first plate member (6) forming 
a laminate; and a light reflective medium (10) carried by 
one of the plate members (6,8). The optical system (2) 
described transmits coherent light through the entire 
body of the system and reflects light from the contoured 
coating to create an image of the bas relief object to an 
observer.

Title: Shared resource arbitration
IPC: G06F13/364
Filed: 1990-02-06
Abstract: An access control or arbitrator for a shared resource, such as a 
time-slotted bus, groups requests according to priorities of the 
requests. The time slots are grouped into sets, each set having a 
number of successive time slots equal to the number of sources 
supplying access requests having a highest priority. In a highest 
priority group, each source supplying a highest priority access request 
is guaranteed access by respective ones of the time slots in each set 
of time slots. Lower priority groups of access requests are handled in 
accordance with a different algorithm such as a round robin priority 
algorithm.

Abstract: A system for creating still image or video collections for guests of
amusement parks and the like a) identifies individuals by a unique tag assigned to the
individual, b) automatically records the images of the individuals while they are at
various attractions, c) collects the images over a communications network, d)

to the guest. In one embodiment of the invention, cameras are located throughout an
amusement park. Each guest is associated with a unique identifier. This identifier
may be contained within a readable tag, e.g., a card, badge or pendant. Tag readers
identify guest when they are at a particular location and provide identification and
location information to a control system. A communications network is used to
interconnect the cameras, tag readers, control system and image recording devices.
The control system controls the recording and storage of the appropriate image(s)
associated with that guest. In accordance with an aspect of the invention, the images
of the guest may be associated with prerecorded images of the amusement park.
Advantageously, a reporting system captures information on guest traffic patterns
throughout their visit.

a relationship according to which, at a firing voltage 
(Ufir) for the valves of the converter equal to a preselected 
value (Uvref), said control angle is a function (G'0) 
of a current (Id1) and a voltage (Un1) in the converter station 
and the limiting signal is formed in dependence on the 
calculating value.

Title: Disk drive with shock detection based on thermoresistive signal from magnetoresistive head
Inventor: KASIRAJ PRAKASH
IPC: G11B19/00
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: A magnetic recording disk drive with a magnetoresistive (MR) read sensor or head
has a shock and vibration detection circuitry (55) responsive to a thermoresistive signal
contained in the signal from the head. The MR head (21) is heated by an electrical bias current
and is supported on the head carrier (13) near the surface of the disk. External shock or
vibration to the disk drive alters the spacing between the carrier (13) and the disk, which causes
fluctuations in the head temperature due to cooling of the heated head by the disk. These
temperature fluctuations are reflected in the signal from the head as a thermoresistive
signal comprising modulation of a baseline voltage level. The shock detection circuitry (55)
compares positive and negative excursions of this thermoresistive signal with a
predetermined threshold voltage level. When the threshold is exceeded, indicating an
external shock or vibration in excess of an allowable limit, writing of data is inhibited.

Abstract: A mirror assembly security system for a vehicle
includes an exterior mirror assembly (26) and a light
module removably positioned within the exterior mirror
housing. The light module is moisture impervious and
includes an enclosure, a light-emitting opening in the
enclosure, a light source (60) in the enclosure radiating
light through the light-emitting opening, and a cover for
the light-emitting opening adapted to direct the light
from the light source (60) to an area adjacent the
vehicle to create a security area. The light source (60)
may be supported by a pair of electrical contacts
provided on the inner surface of the enclosure. The
enclosure wall supporting the electrical contacts is
preferably flexible, in order to allow the light source
to be captured by the contacts. Attachment of the cover
adds rigidity to the enclosure to prevent further flexure
of the enclosure wall in order to firmly retain the light
source. The enclosure is preferably configured so that
the same unit can be installed in both left and right
handed exterior mirror assemblies even though the light
module generates a non-symmetrical light pattern. A
reflective surface (28) is provided in the enclosure
which cooperates with the cover to produce a generally
collimated light pattern.

Abstract: A method for scalably inter-contour coding a video signal
including a previous and a current frames, wherein each of the
previous and the current frames contains a contor, first
generates a predicted contour by motion estimating and
compensating a previous base layer, widens the predicted
contour by a predetermined threshold D max (j), generates (j)th
primary and secondary vertices, and reconstructs a current
base layer, j being 0. Thereafter, the method widens the
predicted contour by the predetermined threshold D max (j+1),
generates (j+1)st primary and secondary vertices, and updates
the (j)th primary and secondary vertices. Then, the (j)th
primary and secondary vertices are encoded, and encoded
primary and secondary vertex information is formatted in a
predetermined way. Finally, the value of j is increased by 1,
and the process from widening the predicted contour by
D max (j+1) to formatting the encoded primary and secondary
vertex infromation are repeated until j becomes N, N being a
positive integer.

Abstract: A World Wide Web browser software is implemented in a processing
system housed in a set-top box connected to a television and communicating
over a wide-area network with one or more servers. The browser software
allows a user to navigate using a remote control through World-Wide Web
pages in which a number of hypertext anchors are displayed on the television.
User inputs are entered from a remote input device using an infrared (IR)
link. The processing system includes a read-only memory (ROM) and a flash
memory. The mask ROM and the flash memory are assigned adjacent
memory spaces in the memory map of the processing system. Browser
software and configuration data are stored in the flash memory. Other
software and configuration data are stored in a mask ROM. The browser is
upgraded or reconfigured by downloading to the box replacement software or
data transmitted from a server over the network and then writing the
replacement software or data into the flash memory. A mechanism is
provided to temporarily maintain power to the processing system in the event
power to the box is lost during downloading. The mechanism allows the
writing of a current block to be completed. An indication of the current block
is maintained while power is absent so that downloading can be resumed once
power is restored from the last block that was written.
