Title: Motion vector detection
Inventor: TAKASHIMA MASATOSHI
IPC: H04N11/04
Filed: 1995-08-21
Abstract: In a motion vector detection apparatus, a reference frame block from a memory (20) is supplied to a feature extraction circuit (21A) and a search frame block from another memory (30) is supplied to another feature extraction circuit (31A). Within the extraction circuits (21A, 31A), the frame blocks are divided into minor blocks and integration of all pixels for each minor block gives a matching element. A matching process employing the matching elements from the extraction circuits (21A, 31A) provides a frame motion vector. Data division circuits (24, 34) divide the matching elements provided from the extraction circuits (21A, 31A) into odd- and even-field matching elements, and the matching process with the odd- and even-field matching elements provides odd- and even-field motion vectors. This eliminates the need for a feature extraction circuit when obtaining field matching elements.

Abstract: The arrangement comprises a summation/integration network (F), whose input is an input of the arrangement, and which is at least of a third order. The network comprises a forward path having at least three in series connected steps, which each comprise an amplifier for multiplication with forward coefficients (d1...dN), an adder (1...N) and an integrator (H1...HN). The network also comprises a backward path having at least three amplifiers for multiplication with backward coefficients (a1...aN), and having an output coupled to an input of a 1-bit quantiser (ADC). An output of the quantiser provides an output (Y) of the arrangement, and an input to a 1-bit D/A converter, whose output is supplied to the summation/integration network. The coefficients are determined by determining a system function of a linear model for the converter, and using the system function to determine a noise and a maximal value of a signal to noise ratio. A stability condition is determined from the poles of the system function, in response to the coefficients, and overload conditions are determined from a determined non-linear model of the converter. A non-linear optimisation is used to optimise the efficiency under evaluation of the overload and stability conditions.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for effectuating data updates on a fault-tolerant storage device having a plurality of disk-drive units (18, 20, 22, 24, 26) forming a disk array (16), with parity-block updates temporarily suspended to provide increased performance. Parity-block updates are typically deferred until the array (16) is idle, thereby relaxing the coherency between data and parity for short periods of time. In this fashion, data is written onto the array (16) with no parity error correction information being present for a short amount of time, which decreases the rotational latency of the drive units (18, 20, 22, 24, 26) visible to external requests. Data updates are effectuated by identifying the blocks (30, 32, 34, 36, 38) in the array (16) where data is to be written, i.e. target areas of a stripe. New data is then written directly to the target areas without reading the old data present therein. A "needs parity rebuild bit" (NPRB) is written to non-volatile memory, identifying the stripes not having parity information on the array. The number of NPRBs present are monitored to allow continuous calculation of a mean-time-to-data-loss (MTTDL). So long as the MTTDL is acceptable, parity updates are deferred until the array (16) is idle. To that end, the I/O patterns to and from the array (16) are monitored to determine idleness. After the I/O patterns indicate that the disk array (16) is idle, new data is read and parity information is generated which is then written to the array (16).

Abstract: The lock cylinder has a toothed edge key (1). One of the edges (1b) contains a series of protrusions and recesses forming a combination with tumbler pins (14) spring-loaded inside a stator (2) and rotor (3) which form part of the cylinder. A blind recess (7) in the untoothed edge (1a) accommodates a relatively strong compression spring (9) and a security tumbler pin (8) moving between extended and retracted positions. When the correct key is inserted, this pin is radially aligned and in contact with a mating pin (10) in a seat in the stator via the opening (13) in a plate (12) inserted in the rotor. The thickness of the plate is equal to the difference between the radii of the untoothed edge (4) and that (5) of the outside of the rotor. In the lengthwise direction, the position of the pins does not coincide with that of the tumbler pins (14) of the main combination.

IPC: G01N33/553
Filed: 1997-04-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the concentration of an analyte in a liquid test sample. The method involves the use of colloidal sized metal particles, which exhibit a spectral response in the agglomerated state which is detectably different than in their unagglomerated state, which bear specific binding partners for the analyte in question on their surface. The specific binding partner treated colloidal particles are combined in a buffered, aqueous medium with a destabilizer material capable of destabilizing the specific binding partner-colloidal particle conjugates thereby permitting the particles to agglomerate. Also included in the liquid medium is a polymer bearing multiple analyte or analyte analog molecules along its surface which serves to protect the specific binding partner coated metal particles from dissociation by the destabilizing agent. Analyte added to the medium, typically in the form of a fluid test sample, competes for the specific binding partner and thereby decreases the amount of protection afforded by the analyte or analyte analog bearing polymer which permits unprotected colloidal particles to agglomerate and provide a detectable spectral response. The magnitude of the change in spectral response is directly proportional to the concentration of analyte in the fluid test sample.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for providing access to multimedia content on-line
which is updated virtually simultaneously with the vendor's update process. By a
user accessing a page on the World Wide Web, for example, data (encrypted and
unencrypted) and instructions are automatically downloaded to a user's computer system
for quick access. Depending upon the user's computer system (LAN or a stand-alone
personal computer), "applets" containing data and instructions are stored for immediate
access. In a Karaoke application of this invention, where the user desires to access songs
which are most popular at a given time, the user accesses a page where a song list and
other information is displayed on a display apparatus. When the user clicks on a
particular song of the song list, the applet executes an authentication request. If the user
is authenticated, the authentication is downloaded as part of the applet containing the
desired multimedia content (or separately depending upon the circumstances).
According to this invention, an applet includes multimedia elements which further
include timing codes and a synchronization function which provides for the
synchronization of the delivery of the multimedia elements.
