Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the amount of a DCT computation
performed for motion image encoding is provided. In the DCT computation amount
controlling method, first, both decoder complexity information that represents the
amount of a decoding computation on previous image data and ME computation
amount variation information that represents information on a variation in the amount

Abstract: There is disclosed a computation circuit (10), working in the modulation domain to
generate a signal having phase modulation proportional to the ratio of the dividend (numerator)
signal to the divisor (denominator) signal. In one embodiment, the phase modulated signal
is demodulated by a phase demodulator (104) to produce a baseband quotient signal. The
divisor signal maintains inverse proportional control of the modulation gain of the modulator
by varying the carrier injection level, resulting in higher bandwidth and accuracy, and lower
drift and offset compared to traditional analog computation techniques. In one embodiment
the circuit contains all linear components, even though the division function is a non-linear
function. The circuit and method operate when the input signals are analog or one or both are
in the modulation domain.

Abstract: Operator interaction with electrical systems is
facilitated by providing electromechanical control devices
(12, 13, 14, 16) which have switch buttons (12, 13), rotary
knobs (14) or the like, with flat panel displays that
convey information pertaining to the controls that can be
changed instantly by a display controller. The display
(33) may identify the function of the control, the current
setting, create calibration marks or provide other
graphics. The images change automatically if the same
control is used for multiple functions. In one form of the
invention, the display screen has openings in the image
area and the controls extend through and protrude from the
screen enabling display of graphics in close proximity to
the controls. In another form, the settings of controls,
which are secured to the face of a display screen, are
optically or magnetically detected by sensors located
behind the screen. In still another form of the invention,
the display is embedded in a switch key and has an image
area that is substantially coextensive with the key. This
enables permanent markings, such as are found on computer
keyboard keys for example, to be replaced with changeable
images that identify multiple functions of the keys.

Abstract: A bumper device (20) for use in muffling or deadening the sound
created by a door closing against a cabinet includes a bumper device
body (22) defining a base (24), a ring-shaped portion (26), and a
concentrically positioned, conical shaped center portion (28) that
further defines an indentation (30) at a top end. A channel (36) is
formed between the ring-shaped portion (26) and the conical center
portion (28). In use, the indentation (30) at the top end of the conical
shaped center portion and the channel (36) serve to trap the sound
created by the door closing against the cabinet, thereby reducing if not
eliminating the undesirable noise created by the door closing against
the cabinet. The shape and configuration of the ring-shaped and center
portions (26,28) prevent the door from contacting the cabinet even when
the door is closed with a considerable amount of force.

IPC: G06F12/0804
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a data processing apparatus and method for processing
transactions. The data processing apparatus has a non-volatile memory having a
plurality of addresses at which data values can be stored, and a processor operable to
process a transaction containing a sequence of update operations, each update
operation identifying a target address in the non-volatile memory and a corresponding
updated data value to be stored at that address. The processor is required to either
complete the transaction in full or else disregard the entire transaction. The data
processing apparatus further provides a volatile memory having a number of slots
operable to temporarily store one or more updated data values, and mapping logic
having a register associated with each slot, each register being programmable by the
processor to identify an address range in the non-volatile memory to be mapped to the
associated slot. The processor is operable when performing each update operation to
ensure that one of the registers identifies an address range incorporating the target
address for that update operation, such that when the target address is output to the
mapping logic, the mapping logic will identify the relevant register having an address
range that incorporates that target address and based thereon generate a remapped
target address that causes the corresponding updated data value to be stored in the
associated slot of the volatile memory rather than in the non-volatile memory. Any
read addresses for read operations contained within the transaction are also routed via
the mapping logic so that if they are seeking to access a data value that has already
been updated, the address will be remapped to ensure that the updated data value is
read from the volatile memory. Further, the processor is operable, upon detection of
one or more predetermined events, to cause the updated data values in the volatile
memory to be stored in the non-volatile memory at the associated target addresses.
