Abstract: A method of improving the contrast in a natural scene image. A relevant histogram of the image is derived (430) from a selected subset of local histograms representing regions of the image. The signal describing the histogram is operated on with a filter (432) having the characteristic of weakening strong peaks and valleys in the function, but not effecting flat portions of the signal. The filtered histogram signal is used for controlling the TRC mapping (434) in a device at which the image is to be printed (436). To assure optimum selection of local histograms, regions including the black point and white point of an image are determined and added to the subset of local histograms representing regions of the image.

Abstract: A tour schedule processor stores a tour schedule, in which a variety of transportation means are used, in a vehicle-installed data terminal and a personal digital assistant (PDA) such as a palm top computer, and enable the tour schedule to be carried out. A center console of a vehicle has a recess for receiving the PDA which retains the tour schedule. A data processor in the PDA transmits the tour schedule to a data processor in the vehicle-installed data terminal, which extracts and retains data related to the vehicle from the tour schedule. When a current position denotes transportation by the vehicle, a navigation unit of the vehicle-installed data terminal guides the vehicle. At the end of the guidance, the data processor of the vehicle-installed data terminal starts the PDA. The PDA then performs guidance. The PDA is removed from the recess, and guides the driver who is carrying the PDA.

Abstract: A method for controlling the contrast resolution and the tissue texture of ultrasonic images employs a signal processing algorithm to adjust an image by changing the tissue texture (speckle grain size). The algorithm increases the image contrast by allocating a different speckle pattern to different grey scale levels. This signal processing algorithm is based on the Hilbert transform (122). It uses the property of the Hilbert transform to generate a quadrature component of the given image which is modulated by the speckle pattern as well as all other image information. The quadrature component is then squared (126) before being selectively added to (128) or subtracted from the square of the in-phase component of the given image to control the information in the image. The added or subtracted signals have different textures (or spatial frequency components). The arithmetic operation (140) between the in-phase and quadrature phase components determines the image texture. If this operation is done selec-tively, then the contrast and the texture of the image can be selectively controlled.

Abstract: An interprise computing manager in which an application is composed of a client
(front end) program which communicates utilizing a network with a server (back
end) program. The client and server programs are loosely coupled and exchange
information using the network. The client program is composed of a User
Interface (UI) and an object-oriented framework (Presentation Engine (PE)
framework). The UI exchanges data messages with the framework. The
framework is designed to handle two types of messages: (1) from the UI, and (2)
from the server (back end) program via the network. The framework includes a
component, the mediator which manages messages coming into and going out of
the framework. A distributed computer system is presented with software for a
client computer, a server computer and a network for connecting the client
computer to the server computer which utilizes an execution framework code
segment configured to couple the server computer and the client computer via
the network. A plurality of client computer code segments are stored on the
server. Each client code segment is designed for transmission over the network
to a client computer to initiate coupling. A plurality of server computer code
segments are also stored on the server. A particular client code segment is
selected, installed and executed in response to initiation of coupling via the
network with a particular client utilizing the transmitted client computer code
segment for communicating via a particular communication protocol to a
corresponding server code segment on the server computer. Finally, a
framework for migrating existing applications into the execution framework is
integrated into the client-server architecture.
