Inventor: THIELEMANS KRIS F J J
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2004-10-14
Abstract: A method of conducting motion correction for a tomographic scanner including a detector array for detecting radiation to generate detector data. The method comprises storing detector data collected during a data acquisition period, the detector data being indicative of directions along which radiation is detected and quantities of radiation detected in different of said directions. The method involves storing movement data representing movement of the subject during the data acquisition period and motion correcting the detector data using the movement data and a motion correction algorithm to calculate motion corrected detector data. The motion correcting step comprises realigning directions of at least some of said detector data on the basis of said movement data and altering quantities of at least some of said detector data on the basis of said movement data, such that at least some of said detector data are both realigned and altered in quantity due to movement of the subject, some detector data are very small and subject to large noise levels. In these cases, the detector data quantities are altered using calculation of estimates from other, more reliable, detector data.

Abstract: When encoding and decoding are concurrently
executed by sharing one image memory, the present
invention is able to flexibly cope with a situation in
which a change occurs in the image size subject to
processing. A memory allocation processing block receives
information about the image size and the number of images
that are specified for each of encoding and decoding,
individually allocates the memory areas corresponding to
the specified image size by allocating these memory areas
to the free area in the image memory in the number
equivalent to the number of images, and outputs the
addresses of the allocated memory areas. A memory area
management block holds memory area information in which
the correlation between the identification information of
each allocated memory area and the access information for
accessing each memory area and receives the requests from
the encoder and the decoder for using the allocated
memory areas and returning the used memory areas, thereby
managing the use status of each memory area on the basis
of the memory area information.

Abstract: A telecommunications terminal that intelligently determines whether to notify the
user of an incoming message is disclosed. In the illustrative embodiments, the terminal has
a processor that makes this determination based on one or more of the following: the time
and date ( i.e.,  the "calendrical time"), environmental parameters (e.g., temperature,
ambient luminosity, etc.), the user's physiological parameters (e.g., blood pressure, heart
rate,  etc .), the location of the user, the proximity of other wireless terminals in the vicinity,
the semantic content of the message, the identity of the sender of the message, and whether
the user is currently receiving another message. For example, a user might not want to be
notified of an incoming message that arrives between 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. unless the
user is awake or the sender of the message is a family member.

Abstract: A communication system including a first transceiver located on a
first platform at a predetermined altitude. A first antenna is
located on the first platform and connected to the first transceiver.
A second antenna is connected to the other end of the
first transceiver. A second transceiver is located on a ground
hub physically and independent of the first platform. A third
antenna is located on the ground hub and connected to the second
transceiver. The third antenna is adapted to communicate with the
second antenna. The first platform is maintained in a stratospheric
orbit. A beamforming system is connected to the second
transceiver and mounted on the ground hub. The beamforming system
provides a beamformed signal from the second transceiver to the
first transceiver effective to drive the first array antenna to
radiate multiple beams to a surface, whereby the multiple beams
create time varying and dissimilar footprints thereon. A second
antenna is mounted on the first platform to receive the beamformed
signal from the ground hub. The beamforming system is
adapted to drive the first antenna to generate plural beams on
the earth's surface, each beam providing a respective footprint
or cell. Each beam tracks a respective user located at a center
of each cell. The system allows for narrow beams to be created
which, in turn, enables frequency reuse. A code is assigned to
each beam and a mechanism is provided for preventing a user from
receiving more than one beam with a given code. This mechanism is
adapted to anticipate a condition by which a user will move to a
location at which the user would receive more than one beam with
a given code. The mechanism will quickly assign a second code to
at least one beam prior to the arrival of the user at the position
(Fig.1).

Abstract: An apparatus and methods are disclosed for enabling a telecommunications terminal to notify its user of the arrival of a message via a ringtone whose properties are based on information from one or more call logs. A network infrastructure element (e.g., a switch, a server, etc.) receives a message directed to a terminal and establishes property values for a ringtone (e.g., tempo, volume, pitch, rhythm, etc.) based on information from a call log (e.g., how many times the caller has called today, whether an earlier call from this caller was returned, etc.). In a first illustrative embodiment the network infrastructure element sends the message and the instantiated ringtone to the terminal, while in a second illustrative embodiment the network infrastructure element sends the message and the property values to the terminal, and the terminal plays a locally-stored ringtone in accordance with the property values.
