Abstract: It is possible to prevent an image processing amount from increasing and obtain excellent display characteristics. A stereoscopic image display apparatus includes: a flat display device having approximately square pixels arranged on a flat display plane in a square manner: and an optical plate which is disposed in front of the display device and has optical apertures which extend linearly in the same direction as a diagonal line of a rectangle obtained by connecting n pieces of the pixels vertically, for controlling directions of light rays from the pixels. The flat display plane of the flat display device are divided to elemental images, each corresponding to each of the optical apertures in the optical plate, and an average value of pitches of the elemental images is larger than m (m = 1,2,3...) times a length of a diagonal line of a rectangle obtained by connecting n pieces of the pixels laterally and the pitch of the optical apertures in the optical plate is equal to m times the length of the diagonal line of the rectangle obtained by connecting n pieces of the pixels laterally.

Abstract: When first biometric information is read with an ID number, a first authentication unit acquires second biometric information corresponding to the ID number from a first database, and authenticates when the first biometric information matches with the second biometric information. A transferring unit transfers the second biometric information from the first database to a second database when the authentication is successful. When the first biometric information is read without the ID number, a second authentication unit authenticates if at least one of the second biometric information in the second database matches with the first biometric information.

Abstract: One limitation to the realisation of mass produced electrochemical cells is a lack of high resolution patterning techniques providing accurate alignment. The present invention provides a method of fabricating a patterned structure on a polymer layer for the manufacture of an electrochemical cell. The method comprises: depositing a polymer layer upon a substrate; and stamping the polymer layer to form an embossed polymer layer using an embossing tool, the embossing tool having a first array of adjacent cells, spaced from one another and extending from the stamping face of the embossing tool and thereby forming a second array of adjacent cells, spaced from one another and extending as cavities within the embossed polymer layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for continuous production of pigment flushes and an apparatus for carrying out the process. In the process of the invention, the pigment press cake is first fluidized. The fluidized press cake and a hydrophobic liquid organic medium are fed into a twin screw extruder. The kneading of the organic medium and press cake between the twin screws flushes the pigment into the organic medium. The water phase and flushed pigment phase are separated by removing at least part of the water phase through a vent in the extruder. An impediment to the flow of material downstream of the water vent causes the flush to accumulate in the vented section for a period of time sufficient to remove the desired amount of the water phase. The flush works over the impediment and passes downstream to where vacuum is applied to remove residual water from the flush. The flush may be further combined with other ink ingredients to form an ink product.

Abstract: A method for setting up and managing secure data/audio/video links with secure key exchanges, authentication and authorization is described. An embodiment of the invention enables establishment of a secure link with limited privileges using the machine identifier of a trusted machine. This is particularly useful if the user of the machine does not have a user identifying information suitable for authentication. Furthermore, the presentation of a default user identifying information by a user advantageously initiates intervention by a system administrator instead of a blanket denial. This decentralized procedure allows new users access to the network without having to physically access a centralized facility to present their credentials. Another embodiment of the invention enables a remote user to connect to a secure network with limited privileges.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to utilize a set of measurements (either partial or compete) to improve the accuracy of an initial position estimate for a wireless terminal. The initial position estimate for the terminal is first obtained (e.g., based on a cell-ID or an enhanced cell-ID solution). Measurements are obtained for the terminal. The initial position estimate is then updated with the measurements to obtain a revised position estimate for the terminal. The updating may be performed by (1) deriving a measurement vector based on the initial position estimate and the measurements, (2) forming an observation matrix for the measurements, (3) determining a matrix of weights, (4) deriving a correction vector based on the measurement vector, the observation matrix, and the weight matrix, and (5) updating the initial position estimate with the correction vector.
