Title: Image based pointing and selection
Inventor: MENDONCA KEITH DE
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2007-11-07
Abstract: An image based pointing arrangement is described to allow an image captured, for example, by a camera mounted in a mobile device 10 such as a mobile telephone, PDA, smart phone, or the like, to be processed to enable a pointer 72 location in a display 50 being produced by the mobile device to be calculated, and, optionally, displayed. In order to allow for further user interaction with the displayed video image, for example to permit selection of icons 82 in a graphical user interface, or to control an application, selection operations can be performed in dependence on movement of the mobile device, which movement is detected by further processing the image of the display captured by the camera provided in the device. For example, the image captured by the camera provided in the mobile device can be processed to determine the location on the display that is being pointed at, but then in order to perform a selection event, such as, for example, a focus event where an icon is given focus in a graphical user interface, or a click event, where an icon is selected, the user holds the mobile device 10 such that it points at the icon or command to be selected for a predetermined amount of time.

Title: Audio transmission and conversion device for broadcast channels
Inventor: LIU CHIA-I
IPC: H04B1/06
Filed: 2008-03-25
Abstract: An audio transmission and conversion device transmits audio of a multimedia player by an FM wireless signal, allowing an FM receiver to be locked on automatically and channels to be synchronized, for listening to the audio of the multimedia player directly. An activator generates a trigger signal, enabling a central processing unit to activate an FM synchronization driver to generate a synchronous channel command according to a channel table. A channel transmission format data is generated by a wireless data encoding processor, and is then, along with an audio signal inputted externally, modulated as an FM wireless signal for outward transmission, so that the audio signal outputted by the multimedia player is transmitted from an FM broadcasting signal. Therefore, any FM receiver can be locked on automatically and channels can be synchronized, for listening to the audio signal outputted by the multimedia player, without manually adjusting the channels.

Title: Computer which enters a low power state when there is no user activity and no process requiring a high power state
Inventor: CHANG SOPHIE
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2009-12-30
Abstract: A computer has a number of power states. It detects whether there is any user activity. It compares the identities of the processes running on it with a list of identities of processes, which require it to be in a high power state. The computer enters a low power state if there is no user activity and none of the process identities are in the list. The low power state is one where the computer is still able to service requests. If user activity is detected, the power state is set according to the work load of the computer. The list may be stored on the computer or may be downloaded from another computer. The user activity may be detected by sampling input activity. Entering the low power state may involve setting the processor clock to its lowest frequency setting and the processor voltage to its lowest operational voltage.

Abstract: 811,298. Making metal sheets. HUTTENWERK OBERHAUSEN A.G. April 7, 1955 [April 24, 1954], No. 10288/55. Class 83 (2). In a process for the continuous finishing of metal sheets, particularly of iron or steel, the sheets are moved on a roller conveyer 9 to head shears 2 where the rough ends are trimmed, then to a preliminary flattening machine 3 where they are flattened and freed from scale, thereafter the sheets are tested for internal defects on an ultrasonic testing machine 4, the nominal or desired dimensions are then marked on the sheets in accordance with the results of the ultrasonic testing so as to avoid the defective parts and the sheets are cut to size. The latter operation is effected on a second shearing machine 7. After the preliminary flattening the sheets are inspected for surface defects and unsatisfactory sheets are deviated along a branch conveyer 5 to a repair position 6 and after repairing are returned to the main conveyer. A further flattening operation may then be provided on a machine 8. If the sheets have been rolled from cast billets in the longitudinal direction of the billet axis, they are initially trimmed along their edges by edge shears 1; if the sheets have been rolled transversely of the billet axis they may be roughly trimmed along their edges by the shears 1 and the edges are cut to final size by second edge shears disposed before the shears 7. Rough rolled slabs cut to size by oxy-acetylene cutters may be used in the latter case. Blowers 3a are provided by removing the scale. The ultrasonic testing machine may provide a record of the defective parts of the sheet.
