Patent EP-0690415-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BAGLEY STEVEN C
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 1995-06-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for editing a scanned image in terms of interpretations of graphical objects contained therein. A graphical object can represent a letter, word, line of text, graphic or any other portion of the document image selected by the user. An interpretation embodies a predetermined relationship between graphical objects as well as editing operations that can be performed on the graphical objects. Interpretations belong to one of two classes. A first class, set interpretation, treats graphical objects (201-205) as an unordered set lying within a document plane (200). Editing operations in a set interpretation allow a graphical object to be manipulated within the document plane without disturbing the spatial orientation of other graphical objects. A second class, sequence interpretation, is like a set interpretation except that the set of graphical objects are ordered. An editing operation in a sequence interpretation will typically affect the spatial orientation of other graphical objects in the set of graphical objects. A particular type of sequence interpretation, called text interpretation, allows for manipulation of sets of graphical objects as if they were text.

Abstract: A motor controller operable at a PWM (pulse width modulated) repetition rate above 6000 Hz is disclosed. A special saturable transformer with an interwinding capacitance of less than 5 picofarads is used to isolate the electronic control circuits from the power stage. PWM pulses are supplied to the saturable transformer such that the leading and trailing edges of the pulses pass through to a Schmitt trigger circuit which reconstructs the original pulse. In a preferred embodiment, the power supplies for the power transistors and gate drives are isolated from the power supplies for the electronic control circuits. Each of the gate drives for the IGBT power transistor is supplied through a separate floating supply. Power supplies for the digital components and the analog components have separate ground return paths and are tied together at the supplies.

Abstract: A call admission control scheme for a CDMA mobile communication system which can satisfy a given connection quality (blocking probability) while guaranteeing a predetermined communication quality. At each base station, a blocking probability and an outage probability of communication quality at each base station are calculated to adjust a maximum number of simultaneously connectable users at each base station according to the calculated results, and a call admission control is carried out according to the adjusted maximum number of simultaneously connectable users. A maximum number of simultaneously connectable users or an interference threshold can be determined from a first relationship between an offered traffic and a maximum number of simultaneously connectable users or an interference threshold for guaranteeing the prescribed communication quality and a second relationship between an offered traffic and a maximum number of simultaneously connectable users or an interference threshold for satisfying the prescribed blocking probability, and used for the call admission control. <IMAGE>
