Abstract: A device (30) for reading the labeled contents of an insulin container (50,51) and then providing an audible message informing the user of the labeled contents. The device includes a recessed surface (44), such as a cylindrical well, into which an insulin container is insertable by a vision impaired person. An optical scanner (66) or reader reads a code (53) furnished as part of the labeling on the inserted insulin container. A microcomputer (59) compares the read code to known code patterns and a speech output is generated as to the type of insulin within the container.

Abstract: A rotational indexing base curve deposition array for assembling contact lens base curves and front curves with a prescribed and programmable angular orientation to produce a contact lens having a selected axis placement therein, such as a toric axis for a toric contact lens. An array of front curve molds are arranged in a support pallet with a dosed amount of monomer mixture deposited into each of the front curve molds. An array of deposition tubes, positioned in a support plate and coupled to a vacuum source, is used to pick up and support an array of base curve molds. Each of the deposition tubes is then angularly rotated in to the support plate to a selected angularly indexed position therein. A common angular rotational drive is coupled to each of the deposition tubes in the array to angular index each of the deposition tubes to a precise angular position in the support plate. The common angular rotational drive is driven by a stepper motor which can be controlled in a programmable manner to change the selected angularly indexed position. The stepper motor drives moveable racks, which drive pinion gears around the deposition gears. The angularly indexed array of base curve molds is then assembled over the array of front curve molds to produce toric lenses having first and second optical surfaces which are precisely angularly indexed relative to each other.

The method includes the steps of receiving (130, 150) text information (167-172) associated with a song, formatting (151-155) the information into song data, inserting (156) the song data into a control data stream (59) associated with an audio channel carrying a particular song, multiplexing (134) the control data stream (59) with a data stream associated with the song (58), transmitting (118) the multiplexed data stream (38), receiving (119) the control data stream (59), decoding (116) the control data stream (59) to obtain text associated with the song, and displaying (137) the text (167-172). The method utilizes an existing control stream (59) in the multiplexed transmission stream (38) to forward text to a receiver (136). The receiver (136) therefore requires no additional hardware to display the text (167-172) on a connected video screen (137, 165).

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an
image processing section, a module table, a module
storage section, and a program generation section. The
image processing section compresses/encodes an image by
using an intraframe code obtained by dividing an image
into small blocks, performing orthogonal transform for
each block, quantizing the transform result, and
performing high-efficiency encoding the quantized
result, and an interframe code obtained by performing
motion search by searing for blocks of previous and
subsequent frames such that the differences between the
blocks and divided blocks of a current frame become
minimum, calculating the differences between the blocks
of the current frame and the blocks of the frames having
undergone the motion search, performing orthogonal
transform for the difference blocks, quantizing the
transform result, and performing high-efficiency
encoding for the quantized result. The module table is
used to designate modules required to constitute an
optimal image processing program for each type of CPU.
The module storage section stores a plurality of modules
designated by the module table. The program generation
section generates an optimal image processing program
for a CPU in use by loading designated modules from the
module storage means with reference to the module table.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining an efficient expansion factor for an interpolation process to produce an interpolated image that has a greater spatial resolution and greater number of gray levels than an original image. An original image having a resolution is received by a computer system and an expansion factor for the image is determined. The expansion factor is derived from a number of gray levels displayable on a target display device and a number of gray levels that can be represented in an interpolated image produced from the original image. This expansion factor is close to the largest expansion factor that will allow the target display device to display all of the interpolated gray levels, and is used to provide an interpolated image having high visual quality and minimal memory requirements. The original image is interpolated using the expansion factor and is preferably supplied to the target display device, such as a display screen or a printing device.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for performing adaptive hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) coding the coding is modified based on the acknowledgements returned by the receiver. In accordance with one illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the state of the channel is implicitly determined by the transmitter based upon the frequency of acknowledgments (ACKs and NACKs) arriving from the receiver. For example, since a NACK implies a weak received signal strength, the code rate of the FEC is advantageously reduced in response to such an acknowledgement. On the other hand, the code rate of the FEC is advantageously increased in response to an ACK. In accordance with another illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the acknowledgement returned by the receiver is modified to convey the number of errors in the corresponding received data packet. In particular, a Reed-Solomon (RS) outer code is employed in the FEC to enable the receiver to determine the number of errors in the received data packet. If the acknowledgement indicates a large number of errors at the receiver, the code rate of the FEC is advantageously reduced in response thereto.

Abstract: A user's access patterns are accounted for in deciding to switch between a plurality of wireless networks (204, 206). A method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes monitoring a location of a wireless communication device (202) within a region serviced by a first wireless communication network (204) and second region serviced by a second wireless communication network (204). The first and second regions have an overlapping region which could be serviced by both networks. The future location of the wireless communication device (202) within the first and second regions is predicted based on the monitoring of the previous locations of the wireless communication device (202). When the wireless communication device (202) is detected as being within the overlapping region, the system determines whether to transfer an active connection between the wireless communication device (202) and one of the networks to the other network.
