Patent EP-1073281-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MCINTYRE JAMES HENDRIE
IPC: H04N11/04
Filed: 2000-06-05
Abstract: An image processing apparatus operates to process input signal samples
representative of at least part of a colour video image to produce legal colour signal
samples representative of a legal colour version of the image. The apparatus comprises
an over sampling processor which operates to generate an over sampled version of the
input signal samples by generating at least one extra signal sample for each base input
signal sample, an adjustment factor generator, which operates to generate a plurality of
adjustment factors which when combined with said input signal samples have an effect
of converting illegal colour pixels of said colour image into legal colour pixels, a
colour legaliser coupled to the adjustment factor generator, which operates to combine
the adjustment factors with the input signal samples to produce the legalised colour
signal samples, and a decimating processor coupled to the colour legaliser which
operates to decimate the over sampled legalised colour signal samples to produce
decimated legalised signal samples having a sampling rate corresponding to that of the
base input signal samples, by selecting signal samples from the over sampled version
of the legalised colour signal samples which have not changed with respect to the
corresponding input signal samples, and if the signal samples have changed combining
a plurality of the over sampled legalised colour signal samples to produce the
decimated legalised signal samples. The decimating processor decimates the legalised
colour signal samples by selecting the base legalised colour signal samples
corresponding to the base input signal sample, where neither the base or the associated
extra colour signal samples have changed with respect to the input signal samples.

Abstract: A method for accessing optical fibers (20) in a midspan region of an optical fiber cable (26) is disclosed. The method of the present invention begins by providing an optical fiber cable having at least one optical fiber disposed within a channel (23) defined by a jacket (29), the jacket having two reinforcing rods (32) embedded therein. Next, the jacket material adjacent to the reinforcing rods is removed to partially expose the reinforcing rods. Then, the jacket material is cut substantially semi-circumferentially between the reinforcing rods at a leading position (35). Finally, the jacket material is pulled at the leading position radially away from the cable so as to cause the jacket material disposed between the reinforcing rods and the channel to separate. This will permit access to the optical fibers (20) disposed in the jacket through an opening resulting from the separation of the jacket material. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Various backgrounds (FIG. 2), forms (FIG. 8), or templates (FIG. 5) are scanned,
features are extracted, and the features are stored in memory. When a composite image
(FIG. 3, FIG. 6, FIG. 9) is scanned (image of interest plus part of background), features
are extracted from the composite image. Features in the composite image are correlated to
stored background features to identify which background is present. If necessary,
background features from memory are shifted in two dimensions to accommodate
displacement of the background. Features corresponding to the background are deleted
from the features in the composite image. For forms and templates, features are used to
identify the background, and then the information is directly extracted from the composite
image.

Abstract: A microprocessor-operated flow control device for a toilet to prevent
flooding upon obstructing of a waste outlet of a toilet bowl also includes a leak
detector for measuring any water leakage from a toilet tank. The device
includes a water level sensor assembly mounted on a clip held over a rim of the
toilet bowl so as to hold the water level sensor assembly in a predetermined
position within the toilet bowl, and a leak detecting element held in the interior
of the toilet tank. If water bridges contacts on the water level sensor assembly,
an electrical circuit or an RF connection is completed to the microprocessor in
a housing, and an electric motor is actuated to drive a gear train to close a
normally opened valve and shut off water to the water tank of the toilet. If a
water leak is detected, an electrical or an RF signal is sent to the
microprocessor to shut off water flow to the water tank. The present invention
is an easily-added-on, simplified device for use with a toilet to prevent flooding
and wasting water through leakage.

Abstract: The cold cathode tube for illuminating pixels with light which is in accordance with an output signal has luminance which gradually increases at a rise and gradually decreases at a fall per one frame time. The cold cathode tube contains a fluorescent material of only one of three primary colors of light, and has a certain OFF period or dimming period per one frame time. Between a diffusing plate and a reflecting plate are provided partition walls for parting emitting areas, so that the illumination light of one cold cathode tube does not reach the display elements to be illuminated by the other cold cathode tubes. The emission of each display element is changed per one frame time between a normal ON state and a dim state. The cold cathode tube has two or more OFF periods within one frame time, and luminance of the cold cathode tube is changed per one frame period. As a result, it is possible to suppress shortening of life of emitters in an illuminating section, and to relieve lowering of luminance of the emitters, and also to obtain a desirable display quality even in a fast-moving image.

Abstract: Alignment to buried marks is carried out by using electromagnetic radiation (EP) to induce waves (5)
in the layers covering the buried layer. The acoustic or thermal waves (5) cause reflectivity changes and
displacements in the surface whose position and/or time dependence reveals the true position of the
buried alignment mark. The buried alignment mark may be revealed by mapping the thickness of
covering layers in its vicinity, e.g. by measuring the time dependence of the decay of a standing wave
induced in the covering layers or by measuring the delay time of echoes (E1,E2) of a travelling wave (5) created
at interfaces between different pairs (L1,L2;L2,L3) of the covering layers. Alternatively, a travelling wave can be
created over the whole area of the mark so that echoes off the top and bottom of the buried mark carry
positive and negative images of the mark; these cause reflectivity differences and displacements when
they reach the surface which can be aligned to.
