Abstract: A method for allocating codewords is provided. The method includes allocating one of two selectable codewords b1 and b2 as codeword b when a preceding codeword a and a following codeword b form a code stream X, in which codewords b1 and b2 have opposite INVs which are parameters indicating whether the number of '1s' contained in a codeword is an odd number or an even number and when the code stream of a and b1 is X1, and the code stream of a and b2 is X2, allocating codewords such that the INVs of X1 and X2 are maintained to be opposite when a or b1(b2) should be replaced by another codewords in compliance with a predetermined boundary condition given between codewords. According to the method, by using a short codeword having less bits as a main conversion codeword, high efficiency is achieved in recording density. Also, when codewords which do not satisfy the run length conditions are replaced by other codewords, the codewords are allocated so that the DC suppression capability of the code stream can be maintained, and therefore higher DC suppression capability of the code stream is provided.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel (20) is formed of a plastic rim (21) that receives a tire (22). The tire is preferably welded at each of its two beads (26,42) to portions of the rim. The plastic rim is preferably formed of both a disc (24) and an internal part. A sensor (30) for sensing pressures within the tire is incorporated into the disc piece. It is imagined that the entire vehicle wheel could be secured together for the life of the wheel. That is, the tire cannot be replaced. Since a plastic rim is utilized, the sensor could utilize LF (or other wireless means) to communicate a signal indicative of pressure, acceleration (which is translated into wheel speed), temperature and other information that may be deemed as important for safety and convenience from the tire to a receiver on the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a spinal fusion implant that is at least partially cylindrical, made of material appropriate for human implantation and having preferably, but not necessarily, one closed end and one end capable of being closed, such that an internal chamber can be filled and hold any natural or artificial osteoconductive, osteoinductive, osteogenic, or other fusion enhancing material. The partially cylindrical implant directly participates and is incorporated in the ensuing fusion. In the preferred embodiment, the implant of the present invention relies on surface roughenings of the outer surface to enhance its stability and resist dislodgement from within the disc space between two adjacent vertebrae. The implant of the present invention incorporates at its rear end, an engagement means to facilitate insertion or extraction of the implant. The implant may be filled with, coated with, and/or composed of, fusion promoting substances. Finally, the implant of the present invention does not require rotation for its insertion and can be seated by linear advancement.

Abstract: A method for extending bit-depth of display systems. The method includes the steps of measuring the static display noise of a display device (14), using the display noise to create pseudo-random noise (12) and subtracting the pseudo-random noise (12) from a contone image (10). After the noise-compensated image data is quantized and displayed, the noise in the display device (14) will substantially convert the noise-compensated image data back to contone image data with few or no contouring artifacts. Other embodiments include using the inherent noise of the human visual system (22) instead of the static display noise, or both. Specific adjustments can be made to the noise of the human visual system (22) for color displays.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an improvement in mechanisms and techniques for accepting user input. An apparatus for accepting a user input is described comprising a display, detector and controller. The display is configured to show an initial output. The detector is positioned in a location with respect to the display such that the detector detects placement of a trigger, such as a user's hand, proximate to the display. Various methods of detection such as infra-red detection, ultrasonic detection, capacitive detection, etc. may alternatively be used. The controller is configured to, upon placement of the trigger in a relative position with respect to the detector, cause the display to display an alternative output. After a pre-determined period of time, the display automatically reverts to the initial output or similar reduced-content output.
