Inventor: KARAOGUZ JEYHAN
IPC: H04M1/725
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: A system and method supporting the automatic conversion of multimedia information from a first format to a second format in a broadband access gateway and/or network-based server are disclosed. The broadband access gateway and/or network-based server may convert multimedia information that is in a format that an access device is not capable of processing. The gateway and/or server may automatically detect the format incompatibility, and may automatically convert or arrange for conversion of the multimedia information to a format that is compatible with the access device, based upon compatibility information associated with the access device. The conversion may be based upon a set of user-defined quality of service criteria, and may be subject to the control of digital rights management parameters associated with the requested multimedia information. The user of the access device may be prompted when the conversion is expected to impact the quality of the multimedia information being played, and the user may be offered options that permit the user to minimize the impact upon the user.

Abstract: Power consumption can be suppressed while maintaining an appropriate execution speed. The information processor (1) has an interpreter for interpreting a source program or intermediate language program and a run-time translator for translating the program into a machine language program native to the computer. The information processor (1) comprises a power-saving request monitor (126) for monitoring whether or not there is a power-saving request from an input interface or a predetermined power-saving request in a given memory, and a power-saving translation controller (129). The power-saving request makes a request for suppression of the power consumed by the processor (1). The power-saving translation controller (129) makes a decision as to whether the run-time translator executes run-time translation of the program according to whether there is the power-saving request. Based on the result of the decision, the translation controller instructs the run-time translator to execute the run-time translation.

Abstract: Segmented circuitry, such as a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) device having a noise-shaping function, comprises a plurality of circuitry segments (2 1 ,4 1  to 2 n ,4 n ), each having a first analog quantity defining element (10,20) which defines a first analog quantity (I) for its segment, and also having a second analog quantity defining element (15, 25) which defines a second analog quantity (I test ) for its segment. The second analog quantity is less well-defined than the first analog quantity for the segment concerned. An analog quantity selecting part (SW1 to SW4) selects the first analog quantities in normal use or the second analog quantities in a test mode. A combined analog quantity (I A -I B ) is produced based on the respective selected analog quantities of a combination of the circuitry segments. Selection of the second analog quantities allows significant noise components to be emphasised over background noise and therefore facilitates actual measurement and location of such noise components for use by the manufacturer in testing the device and/or by an end-user in the setting up of the device for that end-user's particular intended application.

Abstract: A method of determining membership in a group includes receiving a request to determine if an element is a member of a group. The request may be generated by a software application where the application provides at least one parameter to a script which resides external to the application. The script, along with an optional application-provided parameter, is evaluated to determine the membership of the element in the group. Generally, the script is flexibly generated by an administrator independent of the development of the application. After evaluation, a response is sent back to the application where the response is an indication of membership of the element in the group. The method may optionally allows the script to access an external data source to provide additional information to determine membership. In some applications of the invention, determinations of membership may be used for access determination purposes.

Abstract: Techniques are presented to determine user-interest sensitive condensates and notes. User selected passages, user interest information, condensation transformations and optional meaning distortion constraints are identified. User foci expressed by the selected passages are determined based on the similarity of the elements in the selected passages to elements in the user interest information. User sensitive condensates and/or notes are determined by selectively applying the condensation transformations to the selected passages to preferentially retain user foci while eliding less salient information. Meaning distortions constraints are optionally applied in conjunction with condensation transformations or in creating the condensation transformations in order to reduce the likelihood of distorting the meaning of the passage.

Abstract: In a pretensioner, an axial direction of a generator accommodating portion is inclined from a direction which is orthogonal to an axial direction of the cylinder main body toward the cylinder main body. As a result, another axial direction end portion of the generator accommodating portion is positioned closer to the cylinder main body side and the dimensions of the pretensioner along the orthogonal axial direction of the cylinder main body becomes small. In addition, at a bottom portion side of the cylinder main body, an open space is generated along the orthogonal direction of the cylinder main body and therefore the pretensioner becomes more compact. Moreover, since the generator accommodating portion and the cylinder main body are connected such that a center axis of the generator accommodating portion is skewed with respect to the center axis of the cylinder main body, a large area can be secured for the opening into the cylinder main body while a compact structure is maintained.

Abstract: A white balance controlling apparatus is disclosed which can discriminate a green subject under a light source of the sun and a white subject under a light source of a fluorescent lighting without addition of a new color filter. A maximum or average value of luminance at one portion of an image signal for one frame or field which includes pixels discriminated as pixels of green under a light source of the sun or white under a light source of a fluorescent lighting is compared with that at any other portion of the image signal. If the maximum or average value of luminance at the one portion is either lower or higher than that at the other portion, then it is estimated that either a light source of the sun or a light source of a fluorescent lighting is used.

. sequence interleaving SRIS for permutating the bits of each sequence Bsj (for j=0 to Nt), 
. sequence storing and segmenting SQSS for dividing each interleaved sequence Isqj (for j=0 to Nt) into successive segments Psgj, and
