Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for enhancing JPEG compressed digital image data wherein only the DC components of the compressed image data are required to obtain a statistical subsampling of the corresponding uncompressed image data. JPEG compressed image data are received that represent an input digital image, and the JPEG compressed image data include a plurality of DC components. DC components are extracted from the JPEG compressed image data, and the extracted plurality of said DC components represent a subsampling of the input digital image. At least some of the plurality of extracted DC components are input to an automated image enhancement system. The DC components input to the automated image enhancement system are used to derive at least one of a final correction tone reproduction curve and a sharpness filter for enhancement of the input digital image represented by the JPEG compressed data. The final correction tone reproduction curve and/or sharpness filter are bound to the JPEG compressed image data for subsequent use in enhancing the input digital image represented by the JPEG compressed image data after the JPEG compressed image data have been decompressed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for producing a delivery system for transporting pharmaceuticals and other ingredients in a chewable and palatable form is provided. The delivery system comprises a lipid source in which drug actives are homogeneously suspended to form a high solids suspension which can be solidified and molded into an oral dosage form. The lipid source provides an external phase comprising the carrier for the suspension and also provides a hydrophobic film which continuously coats the hydrophilic drug actives and other ingredients. The suspension exhibits pseudoplastic and thixotropic properties which enable it to suspend a large volume of particles relative to the lipid source. The drug particles may be pre-encapsulated before mixing in with the suspension, which provides taste-masking and controlled release qualities to the products formed from the delivery system.

Abstract: A method for determining a minimal set of adjustments for the blades of a rotor supported by a supporting structure for reducing rotation-induced vibration in the supporting structure at at least one harmonic rotation order and/or for reducing track deviation while maintaining structure vibration over at least one harmonic order within an acceptable limit. In one embodiment, a relationship is established by which vibration of the supporting structure may be calculated at harmonic orders of rotor rotation from Fourier coefficients of adjustment, Fourier coefficients of unit vibration influence and Fourier coefficients of vibration measurements. Thereafter, a value is determined for each selected Fourier coefficient of adjustment that provides a desired virtual reduction of vibration of the supporting structure at the harmonic order of the selected Fourier coefficient of adjustment using the vibration relationship. A group of minimal sets of virtual blade adjustments are determined for each type based on the determined value of the corresponding selected Fourier coefficient of adjustment, and from the group, a minimal set of virtual blade adjustments of each type is determined based on its affect on the vibration relationship at at least one harmonic order of rotor rotation other than the harmonic order of the selected Fourier coefficient of adjustment. In another embodiment, track measurements are provided that are resolved into corresponding Fourier coefficients of track that are used to establish a relationship by which track of the rotating blades may be calculated. Thereafter, a value is determined for each selected Fourier coefficient of adjustment that provides a desired reduction of track deviation using the track relationship. A group of minimal sets of virtual blade adjustments is determined based on the determined values, and from the group, a minimal set of virtual blade adjustments is determined based on its affect on the vibration relationship.

Abstract: A housing for electronic equipment having a cooling air flow passage system of first and second parts. The first part receives incoming cooling air, the air flowing through the first part and then, at one location, flowing from the first part into and then along the second part of the system. At a second location, some of the cooling air is returned into the first part of the system, the remainder of the cooling air having been expelled from the housing. Because of the return of cooling air into the first part of the system, there is an accumulation of incoming and returned air to pass along the first part of the system and this accumulation is greater than the rate at which air is entering and is being expelled from the housing. As a result, the accumulation of air travels at an extremely high flow rate through the first part of the system so as to maximize the removal of heat from electronic components. The electronic equipment may be densely populated with electronic components while the cooling air system maintains desired operating temperatures within the equipment. A method of removing heat from electronic equipment is also discussed. <IMAGE>
