Patent CA-2506637-A1 (CA)
Title: Graphical user interface for a keyer
Inventor: FAYAN RANDY M
IPC: G06T7/40
Filed: 2005-05-06
Abstract: A keyer is provided with a graphical user interface that helps a user visualize the relationship between the key and the image to be processed using that key. A  color space swatch is processed by the keyer using the defined key. The output of the keyer as applied to the color space swatch is displayed to the user to illustrate which colors match the defined key. The alpha matte generated by applying the key to the color space swatch also may be displayed. Each pixel in either the color space swatch or the alpha matte generated by applying the key to the color space swatch may be modified to indicate whether its corresponding color is present in the input image or in the preprocessed input image. Luminance processing also may be applied. In particular, the alpha value for a pixel may be adjusted according to the luminance of the pixel according to a user defined function. The alpha matte displayed to the user may include the effects of such luminance processing. The keyer may preprocess the input image by modifying the saturation of each pixel using the luminance of the pixel, These displays may be interactively updated as the user modifies the definition of the key or the controls for preprocessing or luma processing.

Inventor: KENNEDY MICHAEL
IPC: F02D41/10
Filed: 2003-12-08
Abstract: Engine speed data N and engine fueling data MFDES are processed by a strategy (22) that multiples (28) fueling transient data MFDES TRANSIENT and speed-based modifier data EGR_N_TRANS_MULT to develop speed-based fueling transient data. The speed-based fueling transient data is then processed according to a function (32) that correlates values of a fueling transient modifier with values of speed-based fueling transient data to develop exhaust gas recirculation modifier data. The exhaust gas recirculation modifier data and basic exhaust gas recirculation data are multiplied (34) to develop modified exhaust gas recirculation data, and exhaust gas is recirculated in accordance with the modified exhaust gas recirculation data. Using engine speed as a determinant of the extent to which the basic EGR rate should be modified during a fueling transient enables better control over certain exhaust emissions over certain speed ranges.

Title: Non-intrusive cable connection monitoring for use in hfc networks
Inventor: SMENTEK DAVID J
IPC: H04N17/00
Filed: 2004-03-11
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are employed for individually monitoring the connectivity status of cables connected at a cable modem termination system (CMTS), where the cables conduct upstream and downstream RF communication signals. The monitoring is self-contained within the CMTS. The monitoring is achieved by producing a reference signal having a frequency outside the frequency range of the RF communication signals. The reference signal is injected onto the RF communication signal. The power level of the reference signal is detected within the CMTS, whereby the power level correlates with an expected cable load impedance. A DC control voltage based on the detected power level of the reference signal is generated, which allows a controller to determine the connectivity statuses of the connected cables.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of treating and preventing cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. MEF-2 and Class II HDACs has been shown to have a major role in cardiac hypertrophy and heart disease, and inhibition of class II HDAC~s has been shown to have a beneficial, anti-hypertrophic effect. The present invention provides the link between MEF-2 and class II HDAC~s, a kinase known as PKD. The present invention further demonstrates that inhibitors of PKD inhibit cardiac hypertrophy and heart disease by inhibiting, in part, the fetal cardiac gene expression and cellular reorganization that occurs when MEF-2 dependent transcription is inhibited.

Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of 2'-modified nucleosides and 2'-deoxy-nucleosides, such as, .beta.-L-2'-deoxy-thymidine (LdT), is provided. In particular, the improved process is directed to the synthesis of a 2'-deoxynucleoside that may utilize different starting materials but that proceeds via a chloro-sugar intermediate or via a 2,2'~ anhydro-1-furanosyl-nucleobase intermediate. Where an 2,2'-anhydro-1-furanosyl base intermediate is utilized, a reducing agent, such as Red-Al, and a sequestering agent, such as 15-crown-5 ether, that cause an intramolecular displacement reaction and formation of the desired nucleoside product in good yields are employed. An alternative process of the present invention utilizes a 2,2'-anhydro-1-furanosyl base intermediate without a sequestering agent to afford 2'-deoxynucleosides in good yields. The compounds made according to the present invention may be used as intermediates in the preparation of other nucleoside analogues, or may be used directly as antiviral and/or antineoplastic agents.

Patent CA-2533807-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FORTH BRADFORD J
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 2004-07-22
Abstract: Devices that couple to high voltage transmission lines obtain power themselves using the body capacitance of an element of the devices. The devices generate a comparatively lower voltage from the current flowing between the high voltage line and the element of the device that generates the body capacitance. The devices can be used to operate sensors that monitor the transmission lines or parameters of the power distribution system, such as current, line temperature, vibration, and the like. The devices can also be used as indicators, such as aircraft warning lights, information signs, etc.  In addition, the devices can operate as RF transmission/reception or repeater devices, radar devices, mesh networking nodes, video/audio surveillance, sound emitting devices for scaring animals, drones that traverse the power line, etc. Because the devices operate in response to line voltage rather than current, the devices are reliable even in low current conditions.
