Inventor: GIUFFRIDA FRANK
IPC: G06V30/144
Filed: 2007-08-30
Abstract: A method for creating an oblique-mosaic image from a plurality of source images is disclosed. Initially, a desired area to be imaged and collected into an oblique-mosaic image is identified (18) and then a mathematical model of a sensor of a virtual camera (20) is created (22), where the virtual camera has an elevation greater than an elevation of the area to be imaged. The mathematical model has an oblique-mosaic pixel map for the sensor of the desired area. A surface location is determined for each pixel included in the oblique mosaic pixel map (24), and at least one source oblique image pixel of the area to be imaged is reprojected for each pixel included in the oblique-mosaic pixel map to thereby create an oblique- mosaic image of the desired geographical area (26). Further, techniques for compensating for building lean in oblique- mosaic images are disclosed (28).

IPC: H04W56/00

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate evaluating and utilizing timing updates in a wireless communications network. A base station can transmit timing adjustment commands to mobile devices as needed as opposed to a periodic timing update where timing adjustment commands are always sent within a certain period. However, the mobile devices need to stay awake to monitor the timing adjustment message resulting in high power consumption. On the other hand, with periodic update, the mobile devices can wake up to check whether there is a timing adjustment for itself and, if not, return to a sleep mode. With the proposed method, a mobile device can sleep for a period of time to check for timing adjustment commands upon waking. Thus, both the mobile power consumption and downlink signaling overhead are reduced.

Abstract: A collapsible, reusable, disposable "Cigarette package cover"   A four sided box, open at the longitudinal top and bottom made from one rectangular blank that was cut out and scored (4 scores longitudinally) into five sections for folding and gluing, just one of many blanks that are cut out of a larger pre-printed flat sheet.  You then fold it in half (with the printed side out) along the second scored line leaving the unprinted glue flap ready to have the extended printed flap folded back onto the awaiting glue.  Once the two end flaps are overlapped and glued together, then the four sided box becomes comprised of two wide sides opposite to and facing each other, and two narrow sides opposite to and facing each other, glued together on one narrow side with an extra flap on the end of the blank. This invention is designed to fit over the inner slide portion (that holds the cigarettes) of individual cigarette packages (slips-on from the top or the bottom of the package), and to provide protection against damage (no replacement costs). Incredibly easy to use, this invention is also designed to be printed with pictures and images that are unrelated to cigarette packaging and hide the cigarette package advertising, thereby causing the smoker to smoke significantly less, "Out of sight, Out of mind". This invention reduces:  smoking, cigarette sales, and our exposure to cigarette advertising (especially to children). This invention is also designed to have a lifespan of 2 to 3 months for the purpose of causing the smoker to continually have to replace it with another, thereby constantly changing the look of their cigarette package on a regular interval, thereby causing the smoker to constantly be disassociated with the look of their cigarettes thereby causing the smoker to smoke less by not readily recognizing their cigarettes (subconscious disassociation).

Abstract: A pressurized gaseous mixture acidic gas and a useful gas is directly in a first absorption column with a physically acting absorption agent. Then the absorption agent loaded with the acid gas and useful gas is subdivided into first and second streams. The first stream is fed directly to a recycle flash container and there decompressed to reclaim the useful gas, extract the acidic gas from the absorption agent, and form a recycled gas containing the useful gas and acidic gas. The second stream is through a second absorption column to the recycle flash container. Some of the recycled gas from the recycle flash container is compressed and fed through the second absorption column so as to therein directly contact the second stream, and then the recycle gas that has passed through the second absorption column and contacted the second stream is returned to the gaseous mixture.
