Abstract: A method for defining a color gradient across a
region in a display space that includes defining a bi-cubic
patch enclosing the region. The bi-cubic patch
includes four corners having a color associated therewith
and four curves connecting pairs of the corners forming a
closed loop. The four curves define the color gradient
across the bi-cubic patch as a function of the four
colors associated with the four corners of the bi-cubic
patch. The method includes defining a unit square in
parameter space including a mapping function from the
unit square to the bi-cubic patch such that the corners
of the bi-cubic patch map to the corners of the unit
square. The color of every point in the unit square is a
bi-cubic interpolation of the four colors associated with
the four corners of the bi-cubic patch. The method
includes clipping the bi-cubic patch for display of the
region. In another aspect, the invention provides a
method of accurately rendering color gradients across a
bi-cubic patch that includes subdividing the bi-cubic
patch into sub-patches until each side of a given sub-patch
is a good approximation of a line and checking to
determine if for all points inside of a given sub-patch
the color associated with each point is sufficiently
accurate. If not, the sub-patch is further subdivided
until the color associated with each point inside a given
sub-patch is sufficiently accurate. The method includes
dividing the sub-patches into polygons and rendering the
polygons.

Abstract: When a dynamic channel allocation method based on monitoring of signal levels is used for channel allocation, the results of signal level measurements must be averaged in order to achieve a sufficient reliability. Averaging causes a delay in measurement results, for which reason such a channel may be allocated the interference level of which has just changed e.g. because another connection has been set up which functions nearby on the same channel. According to the invention, allocation of a channel causing excessive interference with a connection already set up is limited.

Abstract: L'algorithme normalisé JPEG, largement répandu, de compression d'images bidimensionnelles peut être adapté à la compression d'ensembles de dimension quelconque et de type de données quelconque, et notamment d'ensembles de données sismiques. Du fait que l'algorithme JPEG traite, plus ou moins indépendamment, de petits sous-ensembles (blocs 8 x 8) d'images plus grandes ou d'ensembles de données, ces adaptations s'avèrent particulièrement utiles pour les applications qui ne peuvent supporter un ensemble important, non comprimé, multidimensionnel dans la mémoire d'un ordinateur. Les procédés de type JPEG permettent la compression et la décompression de grands ensembles par itération effectuée sur des sous-ensembles qui sont suffisamment petits pour résider en mémoire. Ces algorithmes conduisent au concept de mémoire virtuelle comprimée. Il faut particulièrement veiller, dans les algorithmes de type JPEG, à éviter les artefacts bloquants, qui sont des discontinuités entre blocs de données qui sont comprimés et décomprimés indépendamment. Heureusement, il existe des procédés de calcul efficaces pour supprimer ces artefacts. Parmi les procédés connus, on a sélectionné celui qui permet de mettre en oeuvre la plus grande partie du procédé JPEG. Le procédé de type JPEG de cette invention fait usage des procédés JPEG pour la transformée en cosinus discrets (bien des transformés directes et inverses soient utilisées) et pour le codage de Huffman des coefficients quantifiés de la transformée. Ledit procédé se distingue des procédés JPEG classiques principalement par des étapes supplémentaires qui sont introduites et qui visent à éviter les artefacts bloquants, et par la quantification des coefficients de la transformée.

Abstract: In a mobile satellite communications system comprising an
earth station (10), a mobile station (20) with a mobile antenna
(24), and a communications satellite (30) for mediating
communications between the earth station and the mobile station,
the earth station comprises a carrier frequency variation
detecting device (18) for detecting a received carrier frequency
due to a doppler effect to produce a frequency variation detected
signal. Although an earth signal processing circuit (12)
transmits a burst carrier signal or a maintaining burst signal
to the mobile station when an information signal such as a speech
signal to be transmitted is not supplied thereto, the earth signal
processing circuit extends a burst transmission duration for the
maintaining burst signal in response to the frequency variation
detected signal and it results in making the mobile station easily
carry out antenna tracking control. In addition, the earth signal
processing circuit continuously transmits the carrier signal when
a received frame synchronization is pulled out.

Abstract: An apparatus which has a converting function
between a digital electric signal and an analog acoustic
signal and directly converts from the analog acoustic
signal to the digital electric signal. Units A (35) are
arranged on the same plane as that of units B (36) and
the number of group units is decided at a ratio
corresponding to a digit position of each bit of the
digital signal. When the bit exists, a power source (37)
for electrode driving and the group unit are connected, a
driving force is applied thereto, and both of an
electric/acoustic conversion and a digital/analog
conversion are simultaneously executed through the unit A
(35). A radiated acoustic signal is detected by a
detecting electrode of the unit B (36). The units B (36)
are mutually additively connected and their acoustic
signals become an addition value of all outputs of the
units A (35). After a level of the detection acoustic
signal was adjusted by a preamplifier (45), the signal is
sampled and delta modulated and the resultant signal is
supplied to an arithmetic operating circuit (42). When a
digital electric signal which is inputted does not exist,
only the acoustic signal which arrived at the diaphragm
surface of the unit B (36) is inputted to the arithmetic
operating circuit (42). Since an arithmetic operation
control to reduce a synthesized output of the units B
(36) is executed, the digital signal that is proportional
to the acoustic signal is derived from a digital type 
electroacoustic transducer output terminal (41).
