Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for generating and maintaining enhanced background models for use in background-foreground segmentation. Background models are modified to contain an indication of objects that are typically stationary. Thereafter, if an object moves and has been previously identified as an object that is typically stationary, the object will not unnecessarily be identified as part of the foreground during background-foreground segmentation. In an exemplary implementation, moving objects are classified into two sets. A first set includes objects that typically move independently and a second set includes objects that are typically stationary. Generally, once an object is assigned to the second (stationary object) set, the object will remain in the background, even if the object is moved (normally, movement of the object would cause the object to become part of the foreground).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for generating an application data signal from content signals having embedded application data. The content signal may be an MPEG 2 encoded TV signal. A storage device (111) comprises a receiver (115) which receives the content signal from an external source. An extraction processor (117) extracts the application data from the content signal and independently stores both in a data storage (119, 121). An application data generator (127) is operable to generate an application data signal by retrieving the stored application data from the data storage separately from the content signal. Thus the application data signal may be processed or communicated independently of the content signal.

Abstract: An Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection circuit (9) includes a plurality of I/O and power supply pad cells (22, 40) that comprise external pads (31, 41) and circuitry requiring ESD protection. The protection circuit includes an array of shunting devices (36, 46) coupled in parallel between an ESD bus (14) and a VSS bus (18) and distributed among the plurality of pad cells. One or more trigger circuits (50) control the shunting devices.

Abstract: RF communications received by a wireless terminal from a servicing base station
are used to determine the downlink quality report and implement link adaptation decisions.
This involves first implementing an initial transmission scheme between the servicing base
station and the wireless terminal. Next, a current downlink quality report corresponding to the
initial transmission scheme is generated by the wireless terminal and received at the servicing
base station. This downlink quality report is based in whole or in part on a bit-error probability
(BEP). The current downlink quality report that corresponds to the initial transmission scheme
is then compared to link adaptation thresholds. When the current downlink quality report
compares unfavorably to the link adaptation thresholds, an alternative transmission scheme is
selected and implemented between the servicing base station and the wireless terminals if the
alternative transmission scheme is expected to result in an improved downlink quality report
over the current down-link quality report.

Abstract: A high-definition optical disk device for recording and reproducing data with respect to lands and grooves of an optical disk. The grooves and the lands of the optical disk are wobbled, and address information is embedded in gray code. In the grooves and the lands, both groove track address systems and land track address systems are embedded and form redundant systems. When detecting the address of a land, in addition to demodulation of the address data from the land track address system, the address data is also extracted from the groove track address system. The address data thus extracted is used for verification to detect an error in the demodulated address data.
