Abstract: A photographic imaging element is disclosed which comprises a
support having on one side thereof at least one silver halide emulsion layer and
having, in order, on the opposite side thereof an electrically-conductive layer
coated from a coating composition comprising a polythiophene/polyanion
composition containing a polythiophene with conjugated polymer backbone
component and a polymeric polyanion component, and a protective topcoat
comprised of a polyurethane binder which has a tensile elongation to break of at
least 50% and a Young's modulus measured at 2% elongation of at least 50000
lb/in 2 ; wherein the electrical resistivity of the electrically-conductive layer before
photographic processing is less than 2 x 10 9  Ω/□, after photographic processing is
between 1 x 10 9  Ω/□ and 1 x 10 11  Ω/□, and increases by at least one order of
magnitude as a result of photographic processing. Photographic imaging elements
of the invention effectively minimize both raw (pre-photographic processing)
static marking and processed (after photographic processing) photographic
element sticking caused by the accumulation of electrostatic charges, and
additionally have excellent resistance to scratch and abrasion.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling engine torque in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and multi-ratio transmission when launched from a neutral idle rest condition is disclosed. 
     At neutral idle, the transmission is controlled such that the input and output members 100 and 32,72 are decoupled. During vehicle launch engine torque is controlled based upon a comparison of an engine brake torque limit with a corresponding engine torque amount that is requested by the vehicle operator. Two methods are used to determine the engine brake torque limit, the first does this as a function of time and the second method determines the engine brake torque limit by estimating the torque capacity of the forward clutch 106 at any given time using a mathematical model and a calibrated offset of turbine torque. As a result, the actual engine torque output is optimized at all times to provide approximately the maximum amount of requested torque without exceeding the capacity of the transmission's forward clutch 106.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention uses an abbreviated
blanking period, in comparison to the standard VESA and CEA-EIA blanking
periods, in order to send data, including low bandwidth, non-timing
information, over one or more channels of the digital video link. By shortening
the blanking period, the amount of time available for sending data in each
scan line is increased, enabling the system to send more data over each
channel. The inactive video portion of a scan line sent during vertical sync
may also be used to send additional digital data. Shortening the blanking
periods and/or using the inactive video sections of the horizontal scan lines
adds to the overall data capacity of the link and may be used to send other
digital data, such as multi-channel audio, video, control, timing, closed
captioning or other digital data.

Abstract: A simple display of items from a list, which changes in synchrony with the corresponding video display, and permits simple navigation under user control. The display includes three control objects positioned below a video frame window on a display screen. A middle displayed object is located in a focus position and corresponds to the video segment currently being played in the video window. When play of the segment is complete, the object located to the right of the focus position moves and displaces the middle displayed object, most recently displayed within the focus position, to indicate a forward progression within the viewed video sequence.

Abstract: A rim member (120C,120L) forming an entrance (110) and a plate
are friction stir welded by moving a rotary tool (200) along
the rim member (120C,120L). The rotary tool (120) is tilted along the
direction of movement. Welding is started at right block (120L),
and when the tool (200) reaches corner portion (P5) between the right
block (120L) and a center block (120C), the tool (200) is pulled out
of the rim member (120) and plate. Next, the tool (200) is tilted
toward the direction of movement along center block (120C).
Thereafter, the tool (200) is lowered and inserted to position, and
friction stir welding is restarted. According to the invention,
the direction of the rotary tool (200) is not changed while the tool (200)
is inserted to the rim member (120C,120L). This prevents generation
of excessive friction heat, and thereby realizes a good weld.

Abstract: An improved speech model and methods for estimating the model
parameters, synthesizing speech from the parameters, and quantizing the parameters
are disclosed. The improved speech model allows a time and frequency dependent
mixture of quasi-periodic, noise-like, and pulse-like signals. For pulsed parameter
estimation, an error criterion with reduced sensitivity to time shifts is used to reduce
computation and improve performance. Pulsed parameter estimation performance is
further improved using the estimated voiced strength parameter to reduce the
weighting of frequency bands which are strongly voiced when estimating the pulsed
parameters. The voiced, unvoiced, and pulsed strength parameters are quantized
using a weighted vector quantization method using a novel error criterion for
obtaining high quality quantization. The fundamental frequency and pulse position
parameters are efficiently quantized based on the quantized strength parameters.
These methods are useful for high quality speech coding and reproduction at various
bit rates for applications such as satellite voice communication.

Abstract: A method for securely storing a public key for
encryption of data in a computing device uses a user-specific
key pair which is securely stored in the
computing device. A target public key corresponding to
a target device is received and a user-specific key pair
is obtained from a secure registry. A user-specific
private key from the user-specific key pair is used to
create a target key verifier based on the target public
key. The target key verifier and the target public key
are stored in a storage area. The target key verifier
and the target public key are retrieved from the storage
area and a user-specific public key from the user-specific
key pair is applied to the target key verifier
to verify the authenticity of the target public key. In
the case that the authenticity of the target public key
is verified, the data is encrypted with the target public
key, thereby creating encrypted data for transmission to

Abstract: The patent discloses a signal processing technique for determining the fast
and slow shear wave polarizations, and their orientation, for acoustic waves in an
anisotropic earth formation. The signal processing method decomposes composite
received waveforms a number of times using a number of different strike angles.
The decomposed signals are used to create estimated source signals. The estimated
source signals are compared in some way to obtain an objective function. Locations
in a plot where the objective function reaches minimum values are indicative of the
acoustic velocity of the fast and slow polarizations within the formation.

Abstract: An electric circuit (20) for equalizing voltages between serially arranged cells (2A-2H). The circuit is operable to generate AC voltages at amplitudes dependent on the DC voltages of the received cells. The AC voltages are all connected to an inductive coupling circuit. The inductive coupling allows higher-voltage cells to induce a recharging current flow in lower voltage cells and so equalize the cell voltages. The circuit also operates to ensure that cell voltages are maintained in equilibrium during charging or discharging of received cells, irrespective of the individual charging and discharging characteristics of the cells. The circuit thus prevents individual cells in a battery from being over-charged or over-discharged and allows more efficient use of the full capacity of a battery without risking damage to the individual cells. The cell equalizing circuit is thus especially useful for rechargeable cells, such as lithium-ion cells, which are sensitive to damage by overcharging and over-discharging. <IMAGE>
