Abstract: A data processing system and method that provides checkpointing and permits a continuous flow of data processing by allowing each process to return to operation after checkpointing, independently of the time required by other processes to checkpoint their state. Checkpointing in accordance with the invention makes use of a command message from a checkpoint processor that sequentially propagates through a process stage from data sources through processes to data sinks, triggering each process to checkpoint its state and then pass on a checkpointing message to connected "downstream" processes. This approach provides checkpointing and permits a continuous flow of data processing by allowing each process to return to normal operation after checkpointing, independently of the time required by other processes to checkpoint their state.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted input unit capable of enabling the
manual manipulator to give its operator a feel of resistance
varying with what is done by operating the manipulator and
thereby affording excellent operating convenience is to be
provided. In a memory unit provided in a control section are
stored tables showing correlations between the operating
directions and quantity of a manual manipulator and an external

positional information supplied from position sensors and the
tables and drives the actuators via an actuator driver. The
external force to be applied to the manual manipulator can be
regulated either according to the movable range of a
vehicle-mounted electric device from its current position to
an end of its possible motion or according to the magnitude of
the working force applied to the manual manipulator.

Abstract: A central section (5) for thread clamping and release, provides for dilation in one direction (X-X). This tenses the stitching region of the object, causing mutual approach of edges, transverse to the dilation. Preferred features: The central thread clamping section (5) is dilated mechanically and/or electrically and/or pneumatically. Dilation is caused by extension of an edge section of the central clamp. The clamp comprises a central section (5M) and two edges (5R1, 5R2) which can be moved relative to it. Actuators (DZ1, DZ2) push or pull edge sections relative to the center. There are two clamp sections in the central clamp. They are accommodated in a tube when inactive and are spring-loaded outwardly. The tube is retracted in the active state, and they are pressed apart. The clamping sections are drawn together by an actuator. Edge sections are moved relatively, by a cam-track control device. Pneumatic or hydraulic chambers are employed as actuators. To rest on the object, e.g. an artery, the outer region of the central thread clamp has a concave configuration.

Abstract: A system and method for processing mosaiced images utilizes a
compression-aware demosaicing process (108; 704) that takes into consideration a
subsequent compression process (112; 706). The compression-aware demosaicing
process is performed using a compression-considered demosaicing operator (206;
708) that incorporates a color space conversion operator and a frequency-based
transformation operator, which are typically associated with the compression
process. Consequently, the overall efficiency of the system and method is
significantly increased. Furthermore, the compression-aware demosaicing process
produces artifacts that complement the artifacts produced by the subsequent
compression process such that the artifacts are less visible in the final color
images, which increases the quality of the final color images.

bias circuit, a parallel circuit including a first transmission line and a first
capacitor has one end connected between the amplifier and the output
matching circuit. The other end of the parallel circuit is connected to a
power source and is grounded via a second capacitor. In the circuit, the bias
circuit can be short-circuited in a desired frequency band while being an
open circuit in a frequency band of a signal to be amplified, hence
