Inventor: ESCHBACH REINER
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1994-07-19
Abstract: A method of compressing an original document image in a manner assuring a minimum compression ratio includes the steps: a) storing to a tile memory a portion of the document image; b) from the document image portion stored in tile memory, using the discrete cosine transform a basis function (DCT), forming a frequency space representation of the image at a transformer; c) retrieving a set of stored values referred to as a Q-Table, d) dividing each of the Q-Table values into the DCT value, and returning the integer portion of the value as the quantized DCT value; e) encoding the quantized DCT values using a statistical encoding method; f) determining whether the data block size is larger than desired, and if not, passing the data block to an output; g) otherwise, reducing a least one high frequency component of the frequency space representation of the document image and and repeating steps e) - g) until the size of the data block is acceptable. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the steps of f and g may be expressed as: f) counting the number of bits representing the compressed tile of image data; g) comparing the count to a reference; h) if the count is less than the reference, passing the compressed tile to an output; i) if the count is greater than the reference, modifying the quantized DCT values, and repeating steps e)-i).

Abstract: An automatic pill dispensing apparatus (10) is provided having a plurality of cartridges (38) supported in guide slots (30) within a housing (12). The apparatus is integrated with a microprocessor (150) operating according to an algorithm, which receives, stores and processes prescription schedule data. Each cartridge (30) has a plurality of compartments (60) disposed about its periphery for containing medication to be dispensed at proper intervals at a dispensing position. An alarm is sounded for the user when the cartridges (38) are ready to be positioned for dispensing medication according to the prescription schedule. A dispense bar (44) is manually actuated by the user to eject scheduled medication into a tray (20) for user acces. If the user fails to dispense scheduled medication, it is withheld to prevent double dosing at subsequent dispensing times. The plurality of cartridges (38) enable filling by a pharmacist of independent multiple prescriptions. After the cabinet housing is loaded for use, the housing is locked to prevent access unless a security code is entered into the processor. A dislodging wire (52) sweeps through each compartment as the dispense bar is depressed, thereby dislodging the medication from the compartment (64) for user access.

Abstract: A circuit interrupter with a digital trip unit (15) automatically sets the sampling interval appropriate for the 50 Hz or 60 Hz distribution system to which the interrupter is connected. In order to avoid falsely shifting the interval in response to distorted currents, the trip unit (15) only changes the interval if the number of zero crossings of the current within a fixed number of samples is within two zero crossings of the number of zero crossings for an undistorted current of the other frequency for two consecutive time periods in which the fixed number of samples are taken. Furthermore, changes in the interval are only written into an EEPROM (47E) for use on power-up a fixed number of times to preclude disabling the EEPROM. In one embodiment, a 2 pole filter (71) is utilized in the zero crossing counting circuit to eliminate false counts from noise originating in a chopper (Q1) used in the trip unit power supply (54). In another embodiment, the zero crossing counting circuit is disabled unless external dc power is available for the trip unit which idles the chopper (Q1).
