Patent EP-1367835-A3 (EP)
Inventor: POHJOLA TEEMU
IPC: H04N19/94
Filed: 2003-05-23
Abstract: This invention relates to techniques for compressing
images, particularly color images. The invention forms a
lightly decodable compression technique for the color
information in digital color images and video. The
invention is based on an idea that an active color area in a
color map is defined. The active area comprises all colors
of the image under compression. Further a coordinate
system is formed for the active area. The colors in the
active area can be quantized using a grid, wherein each
node of the grid represents a color. Since the active area
is smaller than the total color map area, fewer bits are
needed to index the active colors in the active area.
Saving the bits increases the compression of colors when
compressing the image. The color values of the image are
mapped using the indices of the active color area.

Abstract: A wide-area nano-size imprinting stamp  10  is disclosed. The wide-area nano-size
imprinting stamp  10  includes a substrate  11  having a base surface  13  upon
which is formed a plurality of micro-features  21 . Each micro-feature  21  includes a
plurality of spacers  23  disposed on opposed side surfaces ( 22a, 22b ) thereof. The
spacers  23  extend laterally outward of the opposed side surfaces ( 22a, 22b ) and the
micro-features  21  and the spacers  23  extend outward of the base surface  13.  The
micro-features  21  and the spacers  23  are selectively etched to differing heights ( h 1 ,
h   2 ) to define an imprint stamp  20  having an imprint profile  24.  The imprint stamps
 20  can be formed on substantially all of a useable area  A   U  of the substrate  11  and
can have complex shapes that vary among the imprint stamps  20 . The imprint
stamps  20  can be used as a template for transferring the imprint profile  24  to a mask
layer  65  in which the imprint profile  24  will be replicated.

Abstract: Mobile stations include a data pump functionality for performing digital bit to waveform coding on a received digital data signal.
The waveform coded output (analog data signal) is transmitted over the analog air interface using either an analog traffic channel or analog
control channel. For transmission over the analog control channel, the data pump functionality multiplexes the wave form coded analog
data signal with mobile station generated cellular system control signals. A data pump functionality is also provided at the other end of the
air interface transmission to recover the digital data signal from the waveform coded analog data signal transmission. De-multiplexing of
the received analog control channel transmission to extract the data signal is also performed, if necessary. For a data communication sent
instead to the mobile station, the reverse operations are performed by the included data pump functionalities at either end of the analog
air interface. Thus, the mobile station supports the carrying of IS-130/135 modem functionality on either an analog traffic channel or an
analog control channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products that automatically generate and track undo information so that the developer of a user interface object need not be responsible for generating and tracking undo information. Change notifications for changes to an object within a visual user interface designer are processed. Data representing an initial state of the object prior to the changes and data representing a subsequent state of the object after the changes is persisted. From the persisted data, an undo unit is prepared for undoing the changes to the object. The undo unit may comprise a transaction of multiple changes made to the object. Each undo unit may identify corresponding routines for undoing and redoing the actions included within the undo unit. An undo unit may be stored until an undo/redo notification is received, and then used to undo/redo the changes represented by the undo unit.

Abstract: When sulfur components accumulate on an exhaust gas control catalyst (36a, 38a), a PM accumulation amount PMsm is increased and the frequency with which a lean-burn temperature increase routine is executed under fine particle regeneration control is increased (step S102). As a result, the sulfur components accumulated on the exhaust gas control catalyst (36a, 38a) are released using the lean-burn temperature increase routine of the fine particle regeneration control. Therefore, even when sulfur poisoning is so excessive that the engine operating state does not come into the sulfur poisoning recovery control execution range, the lean-burn temperature increase routine of the fine particle regeneration control can be executed so that the excessive sulfur components on the exhaust gas control catalyst (36a, 38a) can be released by executing this lean-burn temperature increase routine. Because the sulfur components released by executing the lean-burn temperature increase routine are excessive sulfur components that have accumulated on the exhaust gas control catalyst (36a, 38a) and the frequency with which the lean-burn temperature increase routine is executed is high, it is possible to keep down the concentration of sulfur components that are released.
