Abstract: The virtual reality imaging system takes a multidimensional space that contains real world objects and phenomena, be they static or dynamic in nature, and enables a user to define a point in and/or a path through this multidimensional space. The apparatus then displays the view to the user that would be seen from the point in and/or path through the multidimensional space. This view is filtered through user definable characteristics that refine the real world phenomena and objects to a perspective that is of interest to the user. This filtered view presents the user with a virtual view of the reality contained within this multidimensional space, which virtual reality presents data to the user of only objects, views and phenomena that are of particular interest to the user. The system also stores a plurality of states of the multidimensional space so that the user can replay the generated display or can modify the user selected point in and/or path through this multidimensional space and/or modify the user definable characteristics that define the filtered view.

Abstract: A method in which first and second representations of a document are provided, for example, by being made available on one or more server computers connected to a computer network, such as the Internet or a corporate intranet. The first and second representations are resolution-dependent structured representations and have, respectively, first and second characteristic resolutions, the second resolution being greater than the first. The first representation, but not the second, is provided in digital form to an untrusted recipient. For example, the first representation can be transmitted through the network from the server on which the first representation is available to a client computer connected to the network. The second representation is converted to a third representation of the document, the third representation being a representation in a human-readable, nondigital form. For example, the second representation can be transmitted through the network in a secure manner to a trusted printing facility connected to the network. The trusted facility can then produce the third representation, for example by printing a hardcopy representation of the document. Finally, the third representation, but not the second, is provided to the untrusted recipient, for example, by physically transferring the third representation to the untrusted recipient.

Abstract: In a distributed object computing system, a client makes a call to a dæmon process of
a host computer in order to communicate with a target object in an object server process.
This call uses a particular security mechanism to ensure a secure communication. The
dæmon process locates the object server and starts it if necessary. The object server
provides the dæmon process with a list or table of all the particular security mechanisms
that it supports. Using a security class identifier provided by the client in the original call,
the dæmon process selects a particular security mechanism supported by the server, and
then returns this new security mechanism along with the server's port to the client. The
client constructs a new object reference to the target object and then calls the target object
directly using the new security mechanism. The new security mechanism may be different
from the original security mechanism used to communicate with the dæmon process. A
foreign client from a different distributed system may also attempt to locate or invoke upon
a target object using a similar technique for secure communication. In this situation,
because the object reference may be unintelligible to the foreign client, the dæmon process
constructs a new object reference before sending it back to the foreign client. The client
and object server may be on the same or different computers. The object reference data
structure includes: a host field; a server identifier; a port field; an object key; a security
information field; and a security class identifier.

Abstract: A data resolution synthesis algorithm takes low resolution
source input data (104) (e.g., data degraded from compression
or data acquired from low quality imaging devices) to
synthesize high resolution output data (114). In an exemplary
embodiment for color printing, the algorithm is performed
by characterizing a multi-pixel area, or window, around a
pixel that can benefit from resolution enhancement. To interpolate
to a high resolution output a set of spatial filters
is applied to the data area based on the window characterization.
The output of the resolution synthesizer (112)
is a set of multiple pixels for each input pixel, representing
the source input pixel in a higher resolution enhanced
version. The filters are chosen from a stored data base (generic
or specifically applicable data base for each type input
device) created to fit input/output device requirements.

Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle with an internal combustion engine and a motor mounted
thereon, operation of the internal combustion engine stops when a battery has a large
remaining charge, so that inspection of the internal combustion engine can not be
carried out under such conditions. The present invention controls the internal
combustion engine to drive in an inspection mode that is different from a normal
driving state at the time of inspection of the internal combustion engine. A control
unit mounted to control operation of the internal combustion engine and the motor
carries out an inspection control routine in the following manner. The inspection of
the internal combustion engine is carried out while a terminal T of a diagnosis
connector is connected with a terminal E. The control procedure thus keeps the
internal combustion engine driving irrespective of the remaining charge of the battery
while the terminals T and E are connected with each other. Inspection of exhaust is
carried out while the connection of the terminal T with the terminal E is released.
The control procedure accordingly keeps the internal combustion engine driving
irrespective of the remaining charge of the battery until a predetermined time period
has elapsed since the release of the connection. The structure of the present
invention prevents the operation of the internal combustion engine from being stopped
at the time of inspection and enable the inspection of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus for an accumulator type
engine (1) prevents occurrence of loud combustion noises due
to excessively high fuel pressure in an accumulator pipe (4)
at the time of start of the engine (1). Injectors (2) of a
diesel engine (1) are connected to a common rail (4) provided
commonly for all the cylinders (#1-#4). The common rail (4)
is connected to a supply pump (6) by a supply pipe (5). A
pressure control valve (10) for controlling the pressure of
fuel ejected from the supply pump (6) is provided near an
ejection portion (6a) of the supply pump (6). At the time
of start of the engine (1) before the cylinders are
discriminated, an electronic control unit (ECU) (51) normally
executes the starting-time control of the pressure control
valve (10). Even before the cylinder discrimination, the ECU
(51) calculates a target fuel pressure and detects actual fuel
pressure in the main routine. If the actual fuel pressure
exceeds the target fuel pressure, the ECU 51 switches off the
pressure control valve (10) even before the cylinder
discrimination. Therefore, an excessively high fuel pressure
is prevented.

IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: In a method to reduce the distortion introduced by lossy compression of
interpolated images, where the output of the compression algorithm does not satisfy
the constraint represented by the interpolation, the estimate of the output can be
improved by re-imposing the constraint. An alternating projection algorithm is used
to impose both the interpolation constraint, and the requirement that the image
compress to the observed compressed output. This involves finding the orthogonal
projection alternately on the space of interpolated images, and on the set of images
that quantize to the appropriate image produced by the compression algorithm.
Although this algorithm is not restricted to the correction of errors in block coding
schemes, the explicit introduction of the interpolation constraint allows this algorithm
to outperform all other interactive algorithms that attempt only to remove blocking
artifacts introduced by transform coders. An important special case is the case of color
interpolated images, and JPEG compression. This method is able to improve the
output image both in terms of mean squared error and visual appearance.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un démodulateur amélioré permettant le verrouillage sur porteuse et le suivi de porteuse. Des fréquences d'harmoniques sont généralement générées par un circuit de démodulation. Lorsque cela se produit, les fréquences d'harmoniques peuvent interférer avec les fonctions de verrouillage et de suivi du démodulateur, notamment si les fréquences d'harmoniques sont proches d'une fréquence de porteuse divisée. L'invention porte également sur un système et un procédé générant un décalage par rapport à un synthétiseur de fréquences dont la fréquence de sortie est utilisée pour diviser la porteuse. Le décalage modifie la fréquence de la porteuse divisée de façon à l'éloigner des harmoniques d'interférence. A cet effet, le démodulateur est mis en fonction de façon à verrouiller et suivre une porteuse dans les cas où cela n'était pas possible auparavant.
