Inventor: SCHIEFER HAROLD
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 1998-04-15
Abstract: This invention is directed to a method and apparatus
for producing video signal timing for a display device
that has a display format different from the input video
format. It also provides a method and apparatus for
producing video signal timing in cases where the input
video line rate and display output line rates are not the
same. Furthermore, a method and apparatus are provided
for synchronizing the display output line rate to the
input rate so that the source video line input rate can
sustain the rate at which the input lines are processed
to generate display video lines using a minimum amount of
memory buffer for a variety of display processing
methods. Another aspect of the present invention
provides a method and apparatus for synchronizing display
output timing to input video timing such that both are
locked in terms of frame rate, but skewed in terms of
frame phase, in order to accommodate latency incurred by
processing of source video data to generate the display
video data. A method and apparatus are also
contemplated by this invention for adjusting the skew
between the input source video frame timing and the
display output video from timing to accommodate latency
for various types of display processing such as, but not
limited to, scaling, video format conversion, and
filtering operations.

output from the sensing means (40) for the further transport
of the document wherein the speed of travel of a document in
one stage (18, 22) of the transport path is independent of
the drive provided for the other stage.

Abstract: The signal of desired frequency band and the signal of frequency band of
interference wave are input to a gain variable circuit from a terminal and is then
supplied to an active filter circuit after the gain control. Such output signal is
waveform-shaped by a limiter circuit and is then supplied to a signal data
demodulating circuit from the terminal. 
     A first coefficient circuit multiplies the predetermined coefficient to the level
of an output signal of the active filter circuit, a second coefficient circuit multiplies
the predetermined coefficient to the input signal level, a first level detecting circuit
and a second level detecting circuit detect output levels of the first and second
coefficient circuits. Moreover, a switch circuit controllably outputs the higher level
signal of the detecting signals of the first and second level detecting circuits and its
output is input to a comparator (differential amplifier) and is then compared with an
output of the reference signal source to provide the stable output characteristic of the
active filter circuit through the feedback control.

Abstract: A method of designing a shielded gradient coil assemblies for magnetic resonance
imaging systems is provided. The method includes generating a first continuous current
distribution for a primary coil  (60)  using an inverse approach. The first continuous
current distribution is confined within predetermined finite geometric boundaries of a
surface defined by two dimensions and generates a magnetic gradient field across an
imaging region  (14).  The magnetic gradient field constrained to predetermined values
at specified spatial locations within the imaging region  (14).  The current distribution and
magnetic field are converted into a stored energy and magnetic field domain where a
finite element analysis is performed to generate a second continuous current distribution
for a shielding coil  (62).  The second continuous current distribution is confined within
predetermined finite geometric boundaries of a surface surrounding the primary coil  (60). 
The second continuous current distribution generates a magnetic field which substantially
cancels in an area outside a region defined by the shielding coil a fringe magnetic field
generated by the first continuous current density.

Abstract: A method and system for exchanging electronic messages,
such as email messages, include isolating personal computers and other
client devices from the process of converting a message attachment from
one file format to a second file format. File-format conversions are out-tasked
to enhance file accessibility, free computer resources, and conserve a user's
time. The access requirements of each attachment to electronic messages
are compared to the capabilities of a target client device. If it is determined
that a file-format conversion is required, the conversion operation is assigned
to a server that supports the process of reformatting the attachments. In an
email environment, the server is substantially equivalent to the conventional
email server, but includes enhanced conversion capabilities. In one
embodiment, the determination of whether an attachment is accessible
without conversion occurs at the server level. In another embodiment, the
determination is implemented at the client device level. Preferably, if a local
email server is incapable of reformatting the attachment, a request is
transmitted to a remote server to perform the conversion. Typically, the
remote server is the email server that supports message exchanges for the
person who originated the message.

Abstract: A current detection resistance such as a metal
resistance is formed in series with a power transistor, and
in response to an output voltage of the current detection
resistance, an overcurrent protective circuit performs an
overcurrent suppressing operation with high accuracy without
being affected by irregularity of a current multiplication
factor, etc.; thus, it is possible to realize a smaller chip
area so as to reduce the cost. Furthermore, a short-circuit
protective circuit returns a terminal voltage of a
referenced resistance, that appears in accordance with a
partial pressure value of an output voltage, at the
transistor, a partial pressure resistance, and a current
mirror circuit. And the short-circuit protective circuit
controls a potential of a base resistance and suppresses a
base current. Hence, it is not necessary to dispose the
transistor for suppressing a current between base lines, so
that a low-voltage operation can be realized. In a direct-current
stabilization power supply device having a two-chip
structure of a PNP power transistor and a control IC, it is
possible to achieve a smaller chip area and a low-voltage
operation.
