Title: Image capture apparatus
Inventor: EDGAR ALBERT DURR
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1993-08-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling and displaying the image information presently seen by the image capture device together with those images which have been captured and stored upon actuation of the device. In a preferred embodiment, a viewfinder window is located in a capture device window. The capture device window also includes a variety of push buttons, some of which control the image capture device, others of which control the way in which the captured images are displayed on the computer screen. In response to the user command to capture an image, the image will be displayed adjacent to the image capture window. As the user continues to capture images, the frames are displayed as long as the computer has adequate temporary storage. Means to discard some images are also included in the user interface. Preferably, the discarded images are retained to allow the maximum reversibility of decisions to the discard images. The user interface also allows the user to stack a set of images into a single object in the workspace. Images may be manipulated within the stack, discarded or modified or changed between stacks of image objects.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for generating pulses, in particular resetting pulses for counters or microprocessors (30) is proposed, which contains a comparator (10) which compares a voltage which can be tapped from a capacitor (12) to a predetermined threshold value. The circuit arrangement contains a semiconductor switch (23) which influences the voltage across the capacitor (12), for example by short-circuiting to earth (21), as a function of a signal (31) to be monitored which is output by the microprocessor (30). A lower limit frequency for the signal (31) to be monitored is predetermined by a high-pass arrangement (27). An upper limit frequency for the signal (31) to be monitored is established using a protective circuit of the semiconductor switch (23), which circuit lowers the limits of the switching frequency to the desired value. The limiting of the switching rate is possible, for example, using a high-resistance design of the control circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Data loss is selectively tracked within a hierarchic data storage system (10) having multiple storage disks (12) that define a physical storage space (34). The physical storage space is mapped into a first virtual storage space (40) which presents the physical storage space as multiple RAID areas (42, 44) that store data according to various RAID levels, such as RAID Level 1 (mirror redundancy) or RAID Level 5 (parity redundancy). Individual RAID areas extend across multiple storage disks and include a region (35) of physical storage space on individual storage disks. The first virtual storage space (40) is mapped into a second virtual storage space (50) which presents the physical storage space as multiple virtual blocks. The RAID areas are monitored to detect data loss. Upon detecting data loss within a region of a RAID area, this first region is marked as invalid. Upon detecting data loss within a second region of the same RAID area, the data storage system will determine the extent of data loss. If the data loss is comparatively minor, the data storage system will identify the virtual block that is mapped onto the portion of the second region and mark it defective. The address of the virtual block is stored in a virtual data loss table (64) to indicate that data stored in that block is unreliable. If the data loss in the second region is significant, or if the virtual data loss table (64) becomes full, the data loss will cause the entire RAID area to be classified as "dead".

Abstract: The method for purifying combustion exhaust gas according to the present invention utilizes a NH 3  decomposing catalyst. The NH 3  decomposing catalyst in the present invention is capable of converting substantially all of the NH 3  in the combustion exhaust gas to N 2  when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean and the temperature of the catalyst is within a predetermined optimum temperature range. Further, when the exhaust gas contains NO x  in addition to NH 3 , the NH 3  decomposing catalyst is capable of reducing the NO x  in the optimum temperature range even though the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean. In the present invention, the conditions of the exhaust gas containing NO x  are adjusted before it is fed to the NH 3  decomposing catalyst in such a manner that the temperature of the exhaust gas is within the optimum temperature range and the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean. Further, NH 3  is added to the exhaust gas before it is fed to the NH 3  decomposing catalyst. Therefore, a lean air-fuel ratio exhaust gas, at a temperature within the optimum temperature range, which contains both the NO x  and NH 3  is fed to the NH 3  decomposing catalyst, and the NO x , as well as the NH 3 , in the exhaust gas is completely resolved by the NH 3  decomposing catalyst.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for voice interaction between the service provider to the patient
whose life signs, e.g. an electrocardiograph (ECG), concurrently are being monitored are described.
Patient data and voice communication are conveyed on a single, or common, public switched telephone
(PSTN) line. A life signs monitor at the patient site is connected to the patient and to a digital
simultaneous voice and data (DSVD) device having the ability to digitize and compress the patient's
voice and having the ability to decompress and analogize the physician's voice via a standard telephone.
A modem modulates and demodulates transmitted and received data over the telephone line. At a
remote monitoring site a second modem receives and transmits data over the same telephone line. The
second modem is connected with a second DSVD device connected to a display- or printer-equipped
receiving station for presentation in textual or graphic form to a remote service provider the patient
data, e.g. in the form of an ECG trace. Thus, the service provider has the ability to overview patient
life signs monitoring while in direct vocal communication with the patient, for instructing the patient or
otherwise reassuring the patient of the proper use of the life signs monitor or diagnosing or prescribing
in real-time response to what is gleaned from the monitoring.
