Abstract: A computer controlled video re-editing system with a "Domino" re-edit function. An edited video comprises a set of ordered video segments. In a video re-editing system a user can re-edit an edited video by adjusting the duration of each video segment. When a user adjusts the length of a video segment, the Domino re-edit function examines how the re-edit to the edited video work affects nearby video segments in the edited video work. The Domino re-edit function then propagates the effects of a re-edit by moving the nearby video segments forward or backward along a time line to accommodate the re-edit made. The Domino re-edit function utilizes any empty spaces that exist in an edited video work such that the empty spaces are filled before the effects of a re-edit are propagated to another video segment. If there is sufficient empty space between video segments, the effects of the re-edit cease propagating. To prevent a video segment from being moved by the Domino re-edit function, a user can "lock" the video segment to a reference time line. To preserve a relative relationship between two video segments, a user can lock the two video segments together.

Abstract: The present invention is constructed so as to form simple blocks within each basic block, with the simple block internal live range storage unit 12 storing variables whose live ranges are entirely located within one simple block. basic block internal live range storage unit 13 stores variables whose live ranges are located within a number of simple blocks but, at the same time, entirely within one basic block, and the inter-basic block live range group storage unit 14 stores variables whose live ranges extend between basic blocks. The live range generation unit 15 detects the live ranges of the variables and stores the result in the live range storage unit 11, whilst also storing the variables during the detection of live ranges in one of the simple block internal live range storage unit 12, the basic block internal live range storage unit 13 and the inter-basic block live range group storage unit 14. Then, the live range interference investigation unit 16 investigates the interference of live ranges between only the live ranges of the variables to be assigned by means of comparing the live ranges. By doing so, the investigation process for the live ranges of variables can be speeded up, and hence the speed of the compiling operation can be improved.

Abstract: A cellular communications system is provided having both surface and satellite nodes which are fully integrated for providing service over large areas. A spread spectrum system is used with code division multiple access (CDMA) employing forward error correction coding (FECC) to enhance the effective gain and selectivity of the system. Multiple beam, relatively high gain antennas having reflectors with multiple element feeds disposed in the focal region thereof are disposed in the satellite nodes to establish a first set of cells and, by coupling the extra gain obtained with FECC to the high gain satellite node antennas, enough gain is created in the satellite part of the system such that a user need only use a small, mobile handset with a non-directional antenna for communications with both ground nodes and satellite nodes. User position information is also available. A digital data interleaving feature reduces fading. Each transmitter includes a coder representative of its output power level. Receivers compare this code to the received signal strength and adjust their associated transmitter power output level accordingly. An inter-cell bus is formed in a super-surface node which receives signals from a plurality of cells, frequency multiplexes those signals and transmits the mutiplexed signal to the plurality of cells.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device (10) is provided that comprises an P-FET (12) and an N-FET (14) formed on a semiconductor substrate (32). The P-FET (12) is formed in an n- tank (46). The source (18) and back-gate contact (22) of the P-FET (12) are connected to the VDD supply voltage. A current sink region (50) is formed in contact with the bulk semiconductor substrate (32). Periodic back-gate contacts (30) and (52) are made to the current sink region (50). The source (26) of N-FET (14) is also connected to the back-gate contacts (30) and (52). The current sink region (50) provides a low resistance path for charge within the substrate (32) to paths to the supply voltage V SS . This low resistance path prevents voltage from building up in the substrate (32) and thereby prevents latchup from occurring.
