Abstract: On a screen display, a specialized image effect is easily attained in which near images are made to appear clearly while distant images are seen as blurred. An image is formed on a screen (200) in which for an image (156a"") pertaining to a background containing far-distance object group for which the depth amount thereof is comparatively large, the source image is made as a semi-transparent processed image for which a two pixel portion thereof is shifted in an upward direction, for an image (154a') pertaining to a mid-distance object group the source image is made as a semi-transparent formation processed image for which a one pixel portion thereof is shifted in an upward direction, and for an image (152a) pertaining to a near-distance object an upward shifting processing is not performed. For an image after such processing is performed, a near image (152a) appears distinctly, a middle-degree distant image (154a') appears somewhat blurred and a far-distant image (156a"") appears still more blurred.

Title: Adaptive power control in a mobile radio communications system
Inventor: ANDERSSON CHRISTOFFER
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-04-08
Granted: 2001-11-01
Abstract: An efficient and effective power control in a mobile communications system is provided that adapts to rapidly changing radio transmission conditions in varying and often unpredictable situations. The value of a signal parameter detected from a signal received by a radio transceiver is compared with a desired signal parameter value, and a difference is determined. A transmit power control command is sent to the radio transceiver and may instruct, for example, an increase or decrease in the level of radio transmit power. Included with the transmit power control command is a power control indicator indicating whether a first or a second type of power control adjustment should be used by the radio transceiver depending upon the determined difference. In one example embodiment, the power control indicator is a single flag bit. A first value indicates that the first type of power control adjustment should be used; the second value indicates that the second type of power control adjustment should be used. In any event, the power control indicator itself does not include specific details of the first or second type of power control adjustment. Because only the indicator is sent (and not the details), signaling overhead and bandwidth consumption related to frequently sent power control commands are kept to a minimum. The specific details of the first and second power control adjustments are initially stored in to the radio transceiver. Such details may be updated when desirable, but the frequency of such updating is likely to be infrequent. Alternatively, a power control indicator may be communicated using techniques other than adding one or more flag bits to a fast transmit power control message to effect a change in power control type as long as signaling overhead is not significantly increased.

Title: Inductor current synthesizer for switching power supplies
Inventor: OKNAIAN STEPAN V
IPC: H02M3/156
Filed: 2001-03-20
Granted: 2002-12-01
Abstract: A circuit and method for sensing the inductor current flowing to a load from a switching power supply without using a sense resistor in the path of the inductor current. In a synchronous buck converter topology, the inductor current is derived by sensing the voltage drop across the synchronous MOSFET of the half-bridge and reconstructing the current using a sample and hold technique. A ripple current synthesizer is employed to reconstruct inductor current outside the sample and hold window. The sampled product ILoad x RDson is used to update the ripple current estimator with dc information every switching cycle. The resulting voltage waveform is directly proportional to the inductor current. The inductor current synthesizer of the present invention can also be used in boost converter, flyback converter and forward converter topologies.

Granted: 2003-07-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a dynamic pricing system that generates pricing recommendations for each product in each market. In particular, the system normalizes historic pricing and sales data, and then analyzes this historic data using parameters describing the user's business objectives to produce a pricing list to achieve these objectives. The system uses historical market data to forecast expected sales according to a market segment, product type, and a range of future dates and to determine the effects of price changes on the forecasted future sales. The system further calculates unit costs for the product. The system then estimates profits from sales at different prices by using the sales forecasts, adjusting these sales forecasts for changes in prices, and the costs determinations. The system optionally optimizes prices given current and projected inventory constraints and generates alerts notices according to pre-set conditions.
