Title: Decorative glass tile with slumped edges and painted rear face
Inventor: MURPHY TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: B44C5/04
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: A clear glass tile T is heated in a kiln to slump and round off the front edges R. The tile is supported on a flat shelf and subjected to temperatures of at least 700 degrees centigrade so that sharp cut edges of the glass are rounded off and smoothed. The tile is removed from the kiln and the back face (the face that was resting on the shelf) is painted with a coloured epoxide paint. Once painted the tile can then be stoved at 130 degrees centigrade. When grouted in place on a wall or floor the coloured rear face can be seen through the tile and gives the impression that the glass itself is coloured.

Title: Improvements in or relating to watermarks
Inventor: BEATTIE ROBERT
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting the presence of a watermark in digital data. The digital data may represent picture or sound information and may be in the form of a broadcast television signal or a signal that has been recorded on a recording medium such as a compact disc. The watermark includes coefficients which have been subject to an inverse local orthogonal transform before being embedded in the input data. In order to detect the presence of the watermark, the input watermarked data is first forward transformed and subtracted from the watermark coefficients so as to derive the data coefficients. The data coefficients are squared and formed into a local average to obtain measure of the power in the local average. The watermark coefficients are divided by the local average so as to scale them and the scaled watermark coefficients are cross-correlated with the input data to detect whether the watermark is present. The cross-correlation is performed by means of a multiplier receiving the input data as a first input and the scaled watermark coefficients as a second input. The resulting output detection signal is subjected to a thresholding operation using a threshold set in dependence upon the global average power of the input data set.

Title: Method for using a reduced width instruction set in an active memory device
Inventor: KIRSCH GRAHAM
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2003-03-27
Abstract: A command engine for an active memory receives high level tasks from a host and generates corresponding sets of either DRAM control unit ("DCU") commands to a DRAM control unit or array control unit ("ACU") commands to a processing array control unit. The DCU commands include memory addresses, which are also generated by the command engine, and the ACU command include instruction memory addresses corresponding to an address in the ACU where processing array instructions are stored. The processing array instructions are used to address a decode SRAM containing microinstructions that are used to control the operation of an array of processing elements. The number of bits in each of the microinstructions is substantially greater than the number of bits in the corresponding processing array instruction. The decode SRAM is preferably loaded prior to operation of the active memory based on the operations to be performed by the processing elements.
