Abstract: A method for processing a photographic image captured by an
image capture system, includes the steps of: determining a maximum dark value
for the image capture system representing the response of the system to no light
exposure; generating an image processing path for processing the image prior to
display on an output device, the image processing path having one or more image
dependent image transforms, that that upon processing the maximum dark value
produces a processed maximum dark value that meets a predetermined criteria for
darkness such that the "smokey black" problem is minimized; and applying the
image processing path to the photographic image to produce a processed
photographic image.

IPC: G03C1/40
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: Radiographic films exhibit improved visual performance because
of the presence of certain colorants that provide more positive a* values without
diminishing image tone (b*). Thus, the greenish tint the films may exhibit is
reduced. These films provide desired sensitometric properties while they have
reduced silver, hydrophilic polymer binder, and hardener coverage on both sides
of a transparent support.

Abstract: In a color image forming apparatus, a looped belt member is stretched and circulated by at least a drive roller and a driven roller so as to have a tensed side and a slack side. Each of plural image supporting members supports a single color toner image thereon, and abuts onto the tensed side of the belt member to define a transferring position at which the toner image is transferred onto either the belt member or a recording medium held by the belt member, while being rotated. A circumferential velocity of each image supporting member is determined so as to be lower than a circulation velocity of the belt member. Further, a circumferential velocity of an image supporting member which is further from the driving roller may be lower than a circumferential velocity of an image supporting member which is closer to the driving roller. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A television apparatus equipped with speech recognition function which allows
the television apparatus to operate in accordance with a unit of language having an
operable superordinate concept or makes the television apparatus operate after
changing the operation mode, when a unit of language uttered by a user is
unacceptable, is provided. 
     The television apparatus according to the present invention judges
whether it is possible for said television apparatus to operate in accordance with a
speech code which is accepted under the current operation mode, and operates under
this operation mode when it is possible to operate. When it is not possible to operate,
if there is a speech code having an operable superordinate concept, the television
apparatus operates in accordance with the speech code having the operable
superordinate concept. If there is not a speech code having an operable superordinate
concept, the television apparatus further judges whether it is possible to operate when
it changes the operation mode. When it is possible to operate after the operation mode
is changed, the television apparatus operates under the post-change operation mode.

Abstract: A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with
coding that comprises only of simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes
space diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas,
time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at
different frequencies. Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides
the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The
principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using
the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling vibrations in a rotor stage rotating
through core gas flow is provided. The apparatus includes a source of high-pressure
gas and a plurality of ports (50) for dispensing high-pressure gas.
The rotor stage (34) rotates through core gas flow (23) having a plurality of
circumferentially distributed first (70) and second (72) regions. Core gas
flow within each first and second region travels at a first and a second
velocity, respectively. The first velocity is substantially higher than the second
velocity. The ports dispensing the high-pressure gas are selectively positioned
upstream of the rotor blades, and aligned with the second regions such that
high-pressure gas exiting the ports enters the second regions. The velocity of
core gas flow in the second regions consequently increases, and substantially
decreases the difference in core gas flow velocity between the first and second
regions.

Abstract: An integrated vehicular antenna system utilizes a
dielectric panel with printed metallic regions on one or
both sides thereof. In the form of the antenna in which the
metallic regions are on both sides, on one side is formed a
series of antenna elements as well as a series of transmission
lines each extending from a respective antenna element
to one of several signal connection points. A conductive
layer is formed on the other side of the panel and extends
from one edge of the panel, being positioned such that none
of the antenna elements are within a projection it forms on
the one side of the panel. However, some of the transmission
lines are extended within the projection of the conductive
layer in their passage from respective antenna elements to
the signal connection points. This arrangement allows an
antenna element on one end of the panel to be connected to
a signal connection point on the other end of the panel
while also allowing control to be maintained over the
radiation pattern formed by that antenna element. Another
form of the antenna has the conductive layer on the same
side of the panel as the transmission lines. In that case,
each transmission line extends in a respective channel
formed in the conductive layer.
