Patent EP-0782371-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TIBBETTS GEORGE C
IPC: H04R1/38
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: An electroacoustic assembly comprising a microphone having a diaphragm and
supported on a face plate susceptible to vibratory effects. Vibration sensitivity is reduced by
opposing the pressure effects on the diaphragm caused, on the one hand, by vibration of the
assembly in the ambient air mass and by vibration of the air mass leading from the ambient
air mass to the diaphragm, and on the other hand, by vibration of the effective mass of the
diaphragm, generally augmented with additional mass, and including the effect of the internal
air mass adjacent the diaphragm. Applications include hearing aids in which the microphone
and its support are mechanically coupled to receiver components that may impart significant
motion thereto.

Abstract: A gradient calculation system efficiently calculates precise gradients
for planar surfaces of primitive (11) in computer graphics systems (18, 23)
using exact closed form solutions. The system is particularly suited for
calculating gradients to enable selection of an appropriate texture map
resolution in a texture mapping system (27). In architecture, the gradient
calculation system can be implemented in software (18), hardware (23), or a
combination thereof, and is more particularly implemented as follows. A
texture mapping system (27) is provided with a plurality (14) of MIP maps
(14a - 14d) with different texel (15) resolutions. A gradient calculation
system associated with the texture mapping system (27) computes texel
(15) gradients relative to a pixel (13) of a primitive (11) using closed form
equations that result in exact gradients. MIP map selection logic (27)
associated with the texture mapping system (27) selects an appropriate
MIP map (14a - 14d) for the pixel (13) from the plurality (14) of MIP maps
(14a - 14d) based upon the calculated exact gradients. Optionally, the
system may further include a performance optimization feature (38) for
assigning the appropriate MIP map (14a - 14d) to subsequent pixels (13)
of, preferably, the entire primitive (11), or secondarily, to subsequent
pixels (13) of a span (12) of the primitive (11), when certain gradient
criteria are met.

Abstract: The invention is a method used with a system for
compositing a foreground scene including a subject before a
nonuniformly illuminated colored backing, and a background
scene, and where the nonuniformity is nonlinear from side to
side and/or nonlinear from top to bottom. A window is
employed to mask unwanted areas outside of, or on, the
colored backing and one or more window edges form a visible
join line where the window edges join the backing. The
visible join line is made nonvisible without affecting the
subject by a horizontal and vertical linear interpolation
method for obtaining backing corrections that cause the
backing level control signal to be uniform at the window
edges and match an assigned window signal level.

Abstract: Fixed electrodes (A through F) are formed by means of a structural layer
that has been provided on fixed bodies (7 1  through 7 4 ) of a silicon micro-machined
substrate and a movable electrode (G) is formed by a movable body
attached to fixed bodies (5 1  through 5 4 ) by flexible members (6 1  through 6 4 ).
Variable capacitors of the parallel plate-type are formed by the movable
electrode (G) and the fixed electrodes (A through F). When the movable
electrode (G) has been vibrated, the Coriolis force incident to rotation or the
force incident to acceleration are added to the movable electrode (G), with a
result that the charge of the various variable capacitors change. By detecting the
change in charge, both angular velocity and acceleration can be obtained. By
providing another variable capacitor formed by a mass portion (H) by a movable
body and the substrate, acceleration components in the directions of three axes
can be detected.

Abstract: An implantable medical device such as a stent
may be implanted within a patient by the steps of
advancing a catheter having a balloon into the patient,
in which the catheter carries the medical device in a
position surrounding the catheter balloon. The catheter
also carries an outer, semi-flexible sheath surrounding
at least part of the catheter and the medical device.
The medical device and flexible sheath are advanced
together into a patient with the catheter, to position
the device at a desired location while the device is
enclosed in the sheath. Then, the sheath is retracted to
expose the medical device to the.exterior. The balloon
is inflated to radially expand the device. Then the
catheter and sheath are withdrawn from the patient. The
catheter described can be used to implant a stent without
the need for a guiding catheter. Also, x-ray contrast
media can be applied to the vicinity of the medical
device without removal of the guidewire.

Abstract: A circuit for conditionally restoring an execution unit in a
computer processor, to reduce power consumption. Execution units, such
as an arithmetic logic unit, shift/rotate unit, multiply unit, etc., have
bits in transit that flow through a series of logic gates. These gates
must be precharged after an operation has occurred to prepare the unit
for the next operation. The conditional restore circuit evaluates either
the data input to the execution unit, or the data output from the
execution unit, to determine whether an operation has occurred. The
precharge device for the execution is turned on only when the evaluation
indicates that an operation has just occurred. The circuit includes an
AND gate whose output controls the precharge device, and whose inputs
include one line from the evaluation circuit, and one line for cycling
(the system clock). In an embodiment wherein the execution unit has two
operand multiplexers which receive the data input, the evaluation circuit
includes two select line respectively connected to the multiplexers, and
to inputs of the AND gate. In an alternative embodiment wherein the
execution unit has data output in the form of a TRUE line and a
COMPLEMENTARY line, the evaluation circuit includes a NOR gate means
having a first input connected to said TRUE line, a second input
connected to said COMPLEMENTARY line, and an output connected to said
first input of the AND gate.
