Patent EP-0680014-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KATAYAMA AKIHIRO
IPC: G06V10/98
Filed: 1995-04-24
Abstract: Images picked up by a plurality of cameras are corrected and projected on a single plane. The input images are converted to projected images on a reference projection plane in accordance with reference parameters and camera parameters. Then images of an area of nx × ny whose center is an intersection B that is a perpendicular from a center of a lens of a m-th camera on the reference projection plane are extracted from the projected images. By extracting the area as described above, there is obtained an image which can be assumed that optical axes of each camera intersects perpendicular to the reference projection plane and the optical axes are parallel to each other. Therefore, when an epipolar plane is constructed during an image interpolation process, corresponding points form a straight line on the epipolar plane, thus it becomes easier to detect the corresponding points.

Abstract: A capacitor is fabricated on a base surface (16) by applying a first pattern of electrical conductors (20) (a first capacitor plate) over the base surface with an outer surface of the first pattern of electrical conductors including molybdenum. A first hard portion of a capacitor dielectric layer (22) including amorphous hydrogenated carbon is deposited over the first capacitor plate and the base surface, a soft portion of the capacitor dielectric layer is deposited over the first hard portion, and a second hard portion of the capacitor dielectric layer is deposited over the soft portion. The deposition of the soft portion occurs at a lower bias voltage than the deposition of the first and second hard portions. A second pattern of electrical conductors (24) (a second capacitor plate) is applied over the capacitor dielectric layer which is then patterned. A polymer layer (28) is applied over the first and second capacitor plates, and two vias (30) are formed, a first via extending to the first capacitor plate (20) and a second via extending to the second capacitor plate (24). An electrode-coupling pattern of electrical conductors (32) is applied over the polymer layer (28), a first portion extending into the first via and a second portion extending into the second via. Deposition of the capacitor dielectric layer can include using a methylethylketone precursor. Additional capacitor dielectric layers and plates having staggered via landing pads can be layered to increase the capacitance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a classification generation method whereby, in order to efficiently and accurately recognize a pattern having a large number of characteristics, a pattern classification tree is generated, with which a macro structural characteristic of a pattern is appropriately reflected and a competitive relationship between categories is adequately reflected, and to a method for recognizing an input pattern by using the generated classification tree. When an input pattern is formed using strokes, a training stroke is divided into a plurality of segments, and vector quantization is performed for the strokes in the segments. Among the quantized strokes in the segments, adjacent stroke sets are synthesized to repetitively generate upper rank stroke vectors. A stroke vector for which a predetermined entropy function is maximized is selected from the upper rank stroke vectors in a layered stroke vector series, and development is performed extending down into the lower rank stroke vector sets. As a result, a classification tree is prepared. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for screening a call in a telecommunications network having a first system and a second system, with the second system having a general number for all subscriber stations in the second system. In the method and apparatus, call setup requests for calls to the general number of the second system are screened to determine if the call was originally made to a selected number of the first system and then forwarded to the general number, or, if the call was originally made to the general number of the second system. Subscriber handsets within the second system are then selectively alerted, depending on whether the call was forwarded from the first system or was made directly to the general number of the second system. In an embodiment of the invention the method and apparatus is implemented into a telecommunications network having a PCS system, a residential cordless phone system, and a dual mode mobile telephone capable of operation in both systems. When operating in the cordless residential system the dual mode telephone receives calls at the general number of the residential cordless system , and when operating in the PCS system the dual mode telephone receives calls directed to a unique PCS number assigned to the dual mode telephone. When a call setup request is received in the residential cordless system, an information field included in the call setup request is examined to determine if the call was originally directed to the unique PCS number of the dual mode telephone. If it is determined that the call was originally directed to the unique PCS number only the dual mode telephone is alerted. If the call was originally directed to the general number of the second system all subscriber stations, including the dual mode telephone, in the second system are alerted.

Abstract: Image data such as binary mask image data is compressed by partitioning the data into blocks. An arithmetic encoder is initiated for each block and terminated at the end of the block. For each block, there is a fixed template/PDF table pair model which is chosen at the beginning of the block according to motion compensation and other inputs. One model has a template with spatially-correlating samples only, the other having both temporally and spatially-correlating samples. Estimations are made for values of samples which border the current block according to simple rules for the particular template.

Abstract: The method involves arranging an antenna of a distance measuring device above or at least level with the fill height. The antenna emits microwaves downwards and receives reflected microwaves. The received microwaves are analysed to determine the echo waves reflected at the substance surface, to measure the propagation time of the echo waves and to calculate the distance between the substance surface and the antenna from the measured propagation time. In normal measuring operation, the received microwaves are analysed in the distance range up to the empty distance corresponding to the distance between the antenna and the bottom of the container. When no echo waves are determined in this distance range, the analysis is carried out in an expanded range.

Abstract: The viscosity of quench oil circulated in a pyrolysis fractionation unit is controlled by contacting pyrolysis furnace effluent with a slip stream of 0.1-0.5 kg/kg of the quench oil, separating the resulting vapor-liquid mixture to remove tarry liquid, and feeding the remaining vapor to the fractionator. Removing the tarry liquid from the fractionator feed in this manner allows operation of the fractionator with less reflux, a higher bottoms temperature, and more heat recovery at a higher temperature.
