Title: Displaying shadows of 3D objects
Inventor: OSAKA SATORU
IPC: A63F13/55
Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: A plurality of shadow volume data corresponding to respective attitudes of an object which casts a shadow are stored. A shadow volume is set corresponding to the attitude of the object by performing interpolation based on the shadow volume data as necessary. Based on the thus-set shadow volume, a shadow region is determined. Where an apparatus uses the shadow volume to draw a shadow, it is possible to reduce the processing load caused by setting the shadow volume while drawing a more realistic shadow corresponding to the attitude of the object which casts a shadow.

Title: Voiced speech preprocessing employing waveform interpolation or a harmonic model
Inventor: CONEXANT SYSTEMS INC
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2002-01-22
Abstract: Voiced speech preprocessing employs waveform interpolation or a harmonic model circuit to smooth a transition region and simplify speech coding. At low bit rates, the speech is coded by a system that maintains a high perceptual quality in the transition region from a voiced (quasi-periodic) portion of the speech signal to an unvoiced (non-periodic) portion of the speech signal. Similarly, the transition region from an unvoiced portion to a voiced portion is conditioned to maintain a high perceptual quality at a low bandwidth. The transition region from one type of voiced region to another type of voiced region is also smoothed. The transition region is smoothed to create a quasi-periodic speech signal.

When the electric scooter is not in use, a user needs only employ three simple actions to facilitate rapid folding away and realize formation of a portable electric scooter, namely to fold down handles (4, 5) into the cover member (2), and fold away the cover member (2) and the seat frame (3) into the body member (1), whereupon, the user can pull on a pull rod (20) configured atop the cover member (2) to effortlessly pull along the electric scooter by means of auxiliary wheels (18) connected to the body member (1), similar to pulling along of baggage. When the user wishes to ride the electric scooter, the user needs only to implement three simple maneuvers to open up the folded electric scooter, namely to pull open the cover member (2), the seat frame (3) and the handles (4, 5), whereupon the cover member (2) instantly forms a front frame of the electric scooter. Thereupon, the user can switch on electrical power and thus enable the user to ride the electric scooter. The front frame formed by the cover member (2) also actualizes functionality as a shield from wind and rain.

Title: Improving target detection in a radar surveillance arrangement
Inventor: SHALLEY ADRIAN THOMAS
IPC: G01S13/72
Filed: 2004-03-27
Abstract: A method of detecting a target in a scene is disclosed. The method involves obtaining a first set of data elements corresponding to returns from different parts of the scene; determining a detection threshold for a part of the scene based on data elements corresponding to returns from neighbouring parts of the scene; obtaining a second set of data elements corresponding only to clutter returns from different parts of the scene and identifying clutter returns in the first data set by comparing the first and second data sets whereby data elements corresponding to clutter are discounted when determining the detection threshold. The data sets may be obtained by processing returns from a radar or lidar system for use in the method. Alternatively the data sets may be written to a storage means for subsequent use in the method. The method may be used in security and surveillance radar applications such that targets close to building, trees and fences may be more reliably detected.

Title: Non-volatile memory using error checking and correction techniques
Inventor: CROSBY ROBERT M
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 2004-05-17
Abstract: In a non-volatile memory unit such as a flash memory unit, the degradation of charge can result in an error during a read operation. By using the error checking and correction techniques, a determination can be made whether a detected error can be corrected and, if correctable, is the error consistent with charge degradation at that bit position displaying the error. When a correctable error is detected (33, 34, 35, 36), the signal group address and the correction pattern are stored (38) and an interrupt request flag applied (39) to the central processing unit. When the interrupt flag is processed, the central processing unit, using the signal group address and the correction pattern, restores the charge of the bit position in the memory unit (40). In this manner, further read operations involving the restored bit position will not repeat the corrected error.
