Title: Mosaic based image processing system and method for processing images
Inventor: ANANDAN PADMANABHAN
IPC: H04N21/854
Filed: 1995-11-14
Granted: 2001-10-02
Abstract: A system (100) for automatically generating a mosaic from a plurality of input images. The system sequentially executes an image alignment process, an editing process, and a combining process such that, from a sequence of images (902), the system automaticallyproduces a seamless mosaic (904) for various applications. Illustrative applications for the mosaic include a mosaic based display system (104) including an image printing system, a surveillance system (108) and a mosaic based compression system (110). The mosaic based display system (104) permits a system user to display, manipulate and alter a mosaic.  The mosaic based compression system(110) exploits the temporal and spatial redundancy in image sequences and efficiently compresses the image information. The compression system (110) can be used for compressing image information for storage in a storage device or can be used for compressing image information for transmission through a band-limited transmission channel. The surveillance system (108) combines the mosaic construction system, the compression system and the display system into a comprehensive system for remote motion detection.

Abstract: A ratchet wrench comprises an output drive member (13, 37) rotatable about a first axis, a drive housing (15) containing the output drive member, and a handle (14) on the drive housing for rotating the drive housing about the first axis. A rotary member (24) within the handle is rotatable about a second axis and a drive ring (21) extends around the output drive member. A coupling means (25) couples the rotary member to the drive ring so that rotation of the rotary member about the second axis causes rotation of the drive ring about the output drive member. The wrench also includes primary ratchet means (17, 42) for selectively uni-directionally coupling the output drive member to the housing, and secondary ratchet means (23, 43) for selectively uni-directionally coupling the output drive member to the rotary member through the drive ring whereby the output drive member (13, 37) can be rotated in a selected direction either by rotation of the handle (14) or by rotation of the rotary member (24).

Title: Manipulation of non-terminally differentiated cells using the notch pathway
Inventor: ARTAVANIS-TSAKONAS SPYRIDON
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 1996-09-27
Granted: 2012-06-05
Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for the expansion of non-terminally differentiated cells ("precursor cells") using agonists of Notch function, by inhibiting the differentiation of the cells without inhibiting proliferation (mitotic activity) such that an expanded population of non-terminally differentiated cells is obtained. The cells are preferably stem or progenitor cells. These expanded cells can be used in cell replacement therapy to provide desired cell populations and help in the regeneration of diseased and/or injured tissues. The expanded cell populations can also be made recombinant and used for gene therapy, or can be used to supply functions associated with a particular precursor cell or its progeny cell.

Abstract: A texture compositing apparatus (figure 6) and method for combining multiple independent texture colors in a variety of ways in a single execution pass using a single texture compositing unit (TCU) (304) per texture. The TCU (304) receives a control signal, (216) a blend factor (320), a local data signal (Clocal/Alocal) (226C, 228C), and an output data signal (Cin/Ain) (218B, 220B) generated by another TCU, the local data signal and the ouput data signal represent a texture color in a RGBA format. Based upon the control signal (216), the TCU (304) can generate an output signal (218C, 220C) based on a variety of functions. The outputs that can be generated include but are not limited to: (1) zero; (2) one; (3) Cin; (4) Clocal; (5) Cin + Clocal; (6) Cin -Clocal; (7) Cin * Clocal; (8) Cin * Clocal + Alocal; (9) Cin * Alocal +  Clocal; (10) (Cin - Clocal) * Fblend + Clocal; and (11) (Cin - Clocal) * (1-Fblend) + Clocal. Another feature of the invention is that multiple TCUs can be serially coupled to enable addition texture colors to be combined in a single execution path.

Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: A variable attenuation type optical power attenuator permits easier adjustment of the amount of optical attenuation and it is able to securely maintained an adjusted or set amount of attenuation. The variable attenuation type optical power attenuator employs a fixed ferrule and a rotating ferrule that have their end surfaces polished, together with the central optical fibers thereof, to be formed into inclined end surfaces.      An alignment sleeve supports the fixed and rotating ferrules with optical fibers so that the distal ends thereof are opposed and that the ferrules may be relatively rotated, thus making up an assembly composed of a pair of ferrules. The assembly of the paired ferrules is supported in a rotating housing by a fixed housing.      The variable attenuation type optical power attenuator adjusts the distance between the optical fiber end of the fixed ferrule and that of the rotating ferrule by rotating the rotating housing to change the relative rotational angle in relation to the fixed housing. The new rotational angle thus obtained is maintained by the engagement between the face ratchet of a ratchet ring provided on the fixed housing and the face ratchet of the rotating housing.
