Abstract: Bands of predetectors (112, 116a, 116b, 116c, 118a, 118b, 118c, 120a, 120b, 120c) detect
the approach of lines of glyphs within an image being scanned. Linear lines or arrays (110) of glyph
detectors are sampled in accordance with the detected approach of lines of glyphs. Each detector
array (110) includes a plurality of analog glyph detectors which respond to the presence of glyphs with
a characteristic analog output. Preferably, the glyph detectors generate a corresponding analog output
of a first polarity or other characteristic in response to glyphs of a first orientation and an output of a
second polarity or characteristic in response to glyphs of a second orientation. The analog signals
which are characteristic of the detection of a glyph are converted into binary 1's and 0's in accordance
with the polarity or other characteristic of the signals. In this manner, glyphs are detected by analog
detectors and the information encoded in the glyphs is directly output as a binary signal without
computer analysis of the image.

IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 1997-01-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un commutateur de couplage optique ainsi qu'un afficheur à panneau plat incluant une matrice de tels commutateurs de couplage optique. Un tel commutateur de couplage optique comporte un panneau de stockage de lumière conçu pour les conditions d'initialisation correspondant à une réflexion interne totale telle que la lumière injectée dans le panneau est mise en réflexion interne. Une prise de lumière, disposée à proximité d'une surface de couplage du panneau de stockage de la lumière, permet le couplage de la lumière en réflexion interne de façon qu'elle sorte du panneau de stockage, lorsque la prise de lumière est mise en contact avec la surface de couplage du panneau de stockage. En réaction à l'application d'une force électrostatique, la prise de lumière est capable d'un déplacement perpendiculaire au panneau de stockage de lumière. Le commutateur de couplage optique comporte un mécanisme de dispersion de lumière, tel qu'une surface de dispersion de lumière ou d'un milieu dispersant, ce qui permet de disperser la lumière dans la prise de lumière de façon à constituer un volume de prise en compte de la lumière. Grâce à cette configuration, le commutateur de couplage optique fournit avec élégance, sous une forme géométrique qui n'est pas compliquée, toute une gamme de dispositifs d'actionnement permettant de réaliser avec efficacité une commutation optique à grande vitesse. L'invention concerne également un afficheur optique dans lequel une matrice de prises de lumière est disposée à proximité de la surface de couplage du panneau de stockage optique. Chaque prise de lumière est conçue pour un mouvement en réaction à l'application d'une force électrostatique perpendiculaire à la surface de couplage, chaque prise de lumière incluant une surface de dispersion assurant la dispersion de la lumière de couplage. Une source lumineuse, disposée sur un bord de la plaque de stockage de lumière, assure l'injection de la lumière dans le panneau. L'invention concerne également une logique de commande connectée à la matrice de prise de lumière et assurant la fourniture d'une force électrostatique à au moins une prise de lumière de la matrice.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transparently embedding data into a
video signal modulates a particular carrier frequency with a randomized
pattern representing the data. The randomized pattern may be a
combination of the data with the output from a pseudo-random binary
sequence generator, or the data may be converted first into a bi-orthogonal
pattern selected from among a plurality of such patterns and then
randomized. The resulting modulated carrier frequency is then amplitude
modulated based upon a human visual model so that the modulated
carrier frequency amplitude is greater in areas of high image complexity
and lower in areas of low image complexity. The subliminal data
represented by the modulated carrier frequency is added to the video
signal. At a decoder the data is recovered using appropriate correlation
techniques by first filtering the video signal to increase the subliminal
data component relative to the image component, then demodulating the
data component to produce the data pattern, and then correlating the data
pattern with the possible data patterns to identify the particular pattern
and associated data word.

which increases the quantity of intake air drawn into
the internal combustion engine while the internal
combustion engine is idling after the internal
combustion engine has started to operate, to a level
which is greater by a predetermined increase than the
quantity of intake air drawn into the internal
combustion engine while the internal combustion engine
is idling normally. The controller also generates a
command value for ignition timing of the internal
combustion engine according to a feedback control
process to converge the rotational speed of the internal
combustion engine toward a predetermined target
rotational speed, and controlling the ignition timing of
the internal combustion engine based on the generated
command value thereby to retard the ignition timing.
The controller establishes the target rotational speed
by changing the target rotational speed from a preset
rotational speed toward a predetermined idling speed
after the rotational speed of the internal combustion
engine has reached the preset rotational speed which is
higher than the idling speed after the quantity of
intake air drawn into the internal combustion engine has
started being increased.
