Patent EP-1054357-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KNITTEL JAMES M
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: A method modulates volume samples in an illumination stage of a volumetric
rendering pipeline. The method determines a magnitude of a gradient vector of
a volume sample. The gradient vector has components  G U ,, G U ,  and  G W   .
The squares of the components are summed to determine a squared
gradient magnitude  |G 2 | . The square root of the squared
magnitude  |G 2 |  is taken to determine the magnitude  |G|  of the
gradient vector. A step value in a gradient magnitude range is then specified.
A high pass modulation factor is set to zero if the magnitude is less than the
step value, and to one otherwise to modulate the volume sample with a step
function.

Abstract: A bulb shield (20, 20a, 20b) for use in an automotive headlamp
assembly (22), and a method for making same. The bulb shield (20, 20a,
20b) includes a cup portion (28, 28a, 28b) and a portion (30, 30a, 30b)
which extends from the cup portion (28, 28a, 28b) and is configured for
mounting to a reflector (24) of the automotive headlamp assembly (22) or to
another, proximate structure. When the bulb shield (20, 20a, 20b) is
mounted, the cup portion (28, 28a, 28b) is preferably generally horizontally
aligned with a headlamp bulb (26) in the automotive headlamp assembly
(22), thereby eliminating a "hot spot" which would otherwise be viewable
when looking into the headlamp beam. Preferably, at least a portion of the
cup portion (28, 28a, 28b) of the bulb shield (20, 20a, 20b) is electro-formed.
Such a bulb shield (20, 20a, 20b) is relatively inexpensive and easy
to make, yet can withstand the high temperatures which are typically
experienced in an automotive headlamp assembly (22). Additionally, such
a bulb shield (20, 20a, 20b) can be inexpensively provided, yet meet
precision requirements. Still further, such a bulb shield (20, 20a, 20b)
provides enhanced design flexibility and styling consistent with plastic
molding.

Abstract: A rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) method and
apparatus for producing three-dimensional objects by selectively subjecting a liquid
or other fluid-like material to a beam of prescribed stimulation. In a preferred
embodiment a source of prescribed stimulation is controlled to reduce or inhibit the
production of the prescribed stimulation during at least some periods when the
prescribed stimulation is not needed to expose the material. In another preferred
embodiment, the source of stimulation is controlled to vary the quantity of prescribed
stimulation that is produced and allowed to reach the material. In a additional
preferred embodiment control of laser output occurs based on a combination of
supplying a regulated amount of voltage to an AOM in conjunction with temporary
sensing of laser power and a known desired power to attain. In a further preferred
embodiment, a quantity of prescribed stimulation may be set by consideration of
desired solidification depths to be used, beam profile characteristics, material
properties, and scanning speed limitations for different data types. In a still further
preferred embodiment, a transition between selected consecutive exposure vectors
is performed by scanning one or more interposed non-exposure vectors with the
beam inhibited from reaching the building material.

Abstract: Soft handoffs in an IS-95 CDMA system or other wireless communication system
are controlled using an enhanced set of soft handoff parameters which allow the system to
adapt more readily to changing radio frequency (RF) conditions. In an illustrative
embodiment, values for particular ones of the soft handoff parameters are selected in
accordance with a set of rules, including rules such as, e.g., select the minimum value of add
threshold among the members of an active set of pilots for a given mobile station; select the
maximum value of drop threshold among the members of the active set; select the minimum
value of drop threshold timer among the members of the active set; and select the minimum
value of comparison threshold among the members of the active set. A quality measure is
then determined for each of the members of the active set, based on one or more of the
selected soft handoff parameter values and values of one or more additional parameters,
e.g., add intercept, drop intercept and slope parameters, associated with those members.
Particular values of the additional parameters are then selected based on the quality
measures. The selected parameter values are then utilized in a soft handoff process, e.g.,
in a soft handoff process in which the given mobile station is directed to handoff from a
primary base station to another base station of the system.
