Title: Detecting errors in video images
Inventor: MURPHY ANGELA RUTH
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1994-07-19
Granted: 1999-12-28
Abstract: An error is identified in a video image by calculating frequency-related coefficients for blocks of the image and considering the statistical distribution of said coefficients. The variance of coefficients is calculated and a block of original image data is concealed if the variance calculated is significantly higher than a stored threshold and/or if said variance calculated is significantly different from variance values derived for similarly positioned blocks within a previous frame. Concealment is effected by selecting image data from a previous frame, displaced in response to transmitted motion vectors.

Filed: 1992-04-30
Granted: 2000-07-25
Abstract: A multi-service digital receiver is presented with multiple simultaneous uses, made possible with a single practical analog-to-digital converter (38) translating the various service bands in frequency to form a single, generally continuous composite service band in which substantial frequency gaps (6) between the different services are eliminated. Bandwidth requirements are further reduced by a bandfolding technique in which at least one service waveband is divided about an intermediate mixing frequency (F mix), the divided portions are overlapped so that they collectively occupy a sub-waveband with a smaller bandwidth than the original band, and the mixing frequency (F mix) is chosen such that user-selected frequencies do not interfere with other active frequencies. Interference between non-selected active frequencies is permissible and simply ignored.

Abstract: Responding by telecommunication terminal to data messages received during the silent intervals of ringing to immediately answer a call, perform monitoring activities, provide selective answering of incoming calls, and perform control functions. For providing selective answering, telephone sets utilizing the invention monitor the incoming data message to determine if an identification code of the telephone set is contained within that message. If the identification code of the telephone set is within the message, the telephone allows ringing at that set. If the identification code of the telephone is not in the data message, the telephone counts the number of ringing cycles, and, once this count becomes greater than apredetermined number, the telephone set allows ringing at the set. For performing monitoring activities, a remote utility meter reader is responsive to it's identification code in a data message to immediately answer the incoming call from a public utility company computer before ringing starts. After answering the call, the meter reader establish a communication session with the public utility company computer to allow the transfer of utility usage to the public utility computer. Similarly, fax, computers, and answering machines are responsive to their identification code in a data message to immediately answer the call. In addition, for performing controlfunctions, a control unit utilizing the invention recognizes its identification code and additional data to either turn on or turn off some device connected to the control unit.
