Abstract: Disclosed is a stain resistant acoustical panel. The panel may incorporate within its
structure a relatively small quantity of latex which forms an ultra thin coating within the panel
such that water may pass through the inner structure of the panel. Furthermore, the panel may
have a coating or primer applied to the facing side of the panel to prevent water stains. The
coating contains a chelating agent which provides stain resistance to the coated face of the panel.
Additionally, the panel may incorporate both latex within its structure and a primer coating
comprising a chelating agent.

Abstract: A technique efficiently corrects multiple storage device failures in a
storage array using a combination of a single diagonal parity group and multiple row
parity groups. The storage array comprises a plurality of concatenated sub-arrays,
wherein each sub-array includes a set of data storage devices and a parity storage
device. Each row parity group is associated with a sub-array of the array. The array
further includes a global parity storage device holding diagonal parity computed across
the concatenation of the sub-arrays. Instead of requiring that each parity group contain
both a row parity device and a diagonal parity device, the array is composed of a
collection of row parity groups. Diagonal parity is calculated across the full array.

Filed: 2002-08-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour l'amélioration d'image et la récupération de données perdues, reposant sur le principe de la transformée en ondelette. Selon un premier aspect, on décrit un système et un procédé consistant à définir une image à transformée en ondelette, sous la forme de plusieurs parties, l'une de ces parties étant l'image originale, et à estimer des coefficients dans des parties d'estimation de l'image ainsi transformée. On utilise pour l'estimation relative aux coefficients de chaque partie des informations propres à cette partie. Aux fins du système et du procédé considérés, l'image agrandie est établie par transformée en ondelette inverse effectuée sur l'image transformée. Selon un deuxième aspect, on décrit un procédé et un système pour la création d'images vidéo haute résolution, consistant à définir également une image à transformée en ondelette, sous la forme de plusieurs parties, l'une de ces parties étant l'image originale, et à estimer des coefficients dans des parties d'estimation de l'image ainsi transformée. On utilise pour l'estimation relative aux coefficients de chaque partie des informations issues d'une transformée en ondelette de niveau inférieur, concernant la partie correspondante de telle ou telle image passée ou future de la séquence vidéo. Aux fins du système et du procédé considérés, on effectue en outre une transformée en ondelette inverse sur l'image transformée. Ladite image transformée en ondelette, qui comprend l'image vidéo présente et les parties d'estimation, est une image vidéo dont la résolution est supérieure à celle de l'image présente. Selon un troisième aspect, on décrit un système et un procédé pour la récupération de données perdues, à partir de données originales, durant la transmission de ces données originales, via un canal de communication. Il s'agit de localiser les données perdues dans un arbre à transformée en ondelette établi à partir des données originales avant la transmission; de localiser les données perdues dans les niveaux supérieur et inférieur de l'arbre et dans des quadrants de transformée en ondelette correspondant à l'emplacement des données perdues; et d'utiliser l'information propre à l'emplacement localisé, dans les niveaux supérieur et inférieur de l'arbre, pour effectuer une estimation relative aux données perdues. L'invention concerne également plusieurs dispositifs et procédés permettant d'établir des images améliorées haute résolution et des séquences vidéo améliorées, et aussi de récupérer des données perdues en cours de transmission. Selon les techniques décrites, on augmente la taille et la résolution des images en limitant la baisse de qualité à un niveau faible, et on peut reconstituer des images vidéo pour donner une présentation vidéo plus lisse. Les techniques de récupération permettent une reconstitution fiable des données perdues, ainsi qu'une transmission des données les plus importantes garantissant de faibles pertes.

Abstract: A hybrid wireless optical and radio frequency (RF) communication link
utilizes parallel free-space optical and RF paths for transmitting data and control
and status information. The optical link provides the primary path for the data,
and the RF link provides a concurrent or backup path for the network data, as
well as a reliable and primary path for the control and status information. When
atmospheric conditions degrade the optical link to the point at which optical data
transmission fails, the hybrid communication link switches to the RF link to
maintain availability of data communications. The switch may occur
automatically, based on an assessment of the quality of the optical signal
communicated through the optical path.

Abstract: A retouching method for enhancing an appearance of a face located
in a digital image involves acquiring a digital image containing one or more faces
and detecting a location of facial feature points in the faces, where the facial
feature points include points identifying salient features such as skin, eyes,
eyebrows, nose, mouth, and hair. The location of the facial feature points are used
to segment the face into different regions such as skin, eyes, eyebrows, nose,
mouth, neck and hair regions. Facially relevant characteristics of the different
regions are determined and, based on these facially relevant characteristics, an
ensemble of enhancement filters are selected, each customized especially for a
particular region, and the default parameters for the enhancement filters are
selected. The enhancement filters are then executed on the particular regions,
thereby producing an enhanced digital image from the digital image.
