Abstract: This invention relates to a selectorized dumbbell having a handle (4) that can be dropped down between nested left and right stacks of weight plates (32). The weight plates can comprise individual weights or a pair of weight plates, one from each stack, can be connected together to form a single weight (6). A selector (8) is provided to allow the user to select a desired number of weight plates from each stack and couple such weight plates to the handle to provide an adjustable weight dumbbell. Each weight includes a weight frame (20) having at least one carrier (30) to which a commodity weight can be fastened. The dumbbell can be shipped by the manufacturer with empty weight frames to reduce shipping costs. When the dumbbell with empty weight frames reaches a destination, the dumbbell can be completed by securing commodity weights to the carriers on the respective weight frames. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A multiplexed motion picture stream (e.g., video) is demultiplexed. The motion picture stream contains one or more images from each of a plurality of camera sources. The process of demultiplexing the stream is automated and does not require user intervention. The stream is demultiplexed by identifying images within the image stream and comparing the images to representative images from camera sources. During comparison a mismatch value is determined and is compared to a mismatch threshold. If the mismatch value is below the mismatch threshold, the image is assigned to a channel associated with the camera. In some embodiments after demultiplexing, stored motion picture images of different channels can be viewed simultaneously at the same image by advancing to a given image of only one stored channel.

Abstract: In order to rotate and move an arm of a slave which supports a needle-holder, the rotation and movement of a pen-shaped operating section (31) caused by the fingers of the operator's hand are directly transmitted as the rotation and movement of the needle-holder, as sensors for detecting the rotation and movement of the operating section, an X-axis torque sensor, Y-axis torque sensor, Z-axis torque sensor, and a rotation detecting potentiometer (33) are installed thereon. As a result, the rotation and movement of the pen-shaped operating section (31) caused by the fingers of the operator's hand are transmitted as the rotation and movement of the needle-holder in optimum proportions through a computing section. Therefore, when the needle-holder is to be finely moved, a subtle motion of the fingers of the hand can be satisfactorily transmitted. Thereby, it is possible to provide a surgical operation device capable of doing minute surgical operations with ease.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising a plurality of modules (M) for processing applications is provided, wherein each of said modules comprise a local memory (LM). The integrated circuit further comprises a global memory (GM), which can be shared between the plurality of modules (M), and an interconnect means (IM) for interconnecting said modules (M) and said global memory (GM). A memory managing unit (MMU) is associated to each of said modules (M) and determines whether the local memory (LM) provides sufficient memory space for the currently processed application. If this is not the case, the memory managing unit (MMU) requests a global buffer (FB) in said global memory (GM) to be exclusively reserved for the processing data of its associated module (M). Accordingly, by using the local memory (LM), whenever possible, before data is outsourced to the global memory (GM), power as well as bandwidth of the interconnect means can be saved. Furthermore, sufficient flexibility is introduced to the system on-chip to enable running applications that demand more local resources e.g. local memory, than are available in the subsystems or modules (M), without having the need to design the subsystems or modules for worst case scenarios. Especially, when the worst-case demands are much higher than the average case, the cost advantage can be significant.
