Abstract: A data input apparatus comprising a pen for selectively indicating and inputting (1) desired data; a display unit (9) for displaying an image of the input data; a tablet (8) for obtaining coordinate data by indicating with the pen the position corresponding to a predetermined portion of a pattern displayed on the display unit (9); means for detecting the coordinate data in response to a downward press of the pen to the tablet (8), and further detecting the coordinate data in response to an upward lift of the pen from the tablet (8); means for setting a first region of a predetermined area in the tablet (8), and also setting a second region which includes the first region and has an area greater than that of the first region; and deciding means for accepting the input data in response to a downward press of the pen to the first region and thereafter settling the input data in response to an upward lift of the pen from the second region. The apparatus is capable of preventing unintentional cancel of the input data that may result from an accidental displacement of the pen-up region beyond the pen-down region, hence facilitating accurate input of data to consequently realize faster manipulation.

Abstract: A cryptographic communication system. The system, which employs a novel combination of public and private key cryptography, allows two parties, who share only a relatively insecure password, to bootstrap a computationally secure cryptographic system over an insecure network. The system is secure against active and passive attacks, and has the property that the password is protected against off-line "dictionary" attacks. If Alice and Bob are two parties who share the password P one embodiment of the system involves the following steps: (1) Alice generates a random public key E, encrypts it with P and sends P(E) to Bob ; (2) Bob decrypts to get E, encrypts a random secret key R with E and sends E(R) to Alice; (3) Alice decrypts to get R, generates a random challenge C A  and sends R(C A ) to Bob ; (4) Bob decrypts to get C A , generates a random challenge C B  and sends R(C A , C B ) to Alice; (5) Alice decrypts to get (C A ,C B ), compares the first against the challenge and sends R(C B ) to Bob if they are equal ; (6) Bob decrypts and compares with the earlier challenge ; and (7) Alice and Bob can use R as a shared secret key to protect the session.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for creating a model of an object, such a model being created within a 3D space defined by the system. The system includes a display device on which an image representing said model can be displayed, and an entry means for enabling a user to enter an ambiguous 2D line representative of a feature of the object. When the entered line is such that its endpoints are known in the 3D space, a processor within the system subjects data representing the ambiguous line to a number of separate processing steps, each step producing data representing an unambiguous candidate line in said 3D space. A calculation device then calculates the value of a specific parameter of all the unambiguous candidate lines produced by the processor and a comparison means selects, according to the values calculated by the calculation device, one of the unambiguous candidate lines as a representation in said 3D space of the ambiguous 2D line.

Abstract: Known prior art film cassettes for use with X-ray film materials do not provide good film contact between the intensifying screen and the film located therein. This is because the foam pad used provides relatively little force at the edge areas of the film as opposed to the areas distal from the edges. Described herein is an improved film cassette (12, 14, 16) having a base (14) and a cover (12) which is hinged (16) to the base (14) for closing the same and providing a light-tight space therebetween. A cushion member is secured in to the inside surface of the cover and an intensifying screen is secured to the outer surface of the cushion member. The cushion member comprises an inner layer and an outer layer secured together, the inner layer being secured to the cover (12). The inner layer is made of a material having a first density and the outer layer of a material having a second density which is greater than the first density such that a substantially uniform pressure is applied against the film placed in the space between the cover (12) and the base (14).

Abstract: This invention relates to the minimizing of call set-up time for calls requiring the use of service circuits provided from a separate switching system, such as a service circuit node (SCN). Groups of semi-permanent circuits through a public switched telephone network (PSTN) are allocated to each of the switching systems served by the SCN. Thus, whenever a switching system has a call that requires the use of a service circuit housed in the SCN, the connection is already established. Traffic is controlled by limiting the size of the semi-permanent circuit groups, but these groups can be made larger or smaller, up to some overall total for the SCN, as traffic to each switching system changes. Advantageously, this arrangement permits efficient use of a large group of service circuits at the SCN, while minimizing the total call set-up time.

Abstract: A Transform Coder Unit (TCU) (6) for transforming an arbitrarily shaped image into optimal transform coefficients (OTC) for data transmission comprises a forward transform (7) which transforms the image to transform coefficients, and a TCS generator (8) which generates a transform coefficient set (TCS) from the transform coefficients. The TCU also contains an inverse transform (9) which transforms the TCS to a computed region block having computed pel values. Finally, the TCU comprises a replacer (10) which replaces those computed pel values corresponding to the interior pel set with the original pel values to form a modified computed region block which is re-iterated until optimal transform coefficients are determined. 
     A process for determining optimal transform coefficients using the aforementioned device is described.

Abstract: The respective geometrical position determination involves the determination of a displacement or angle on a movable body, using a voltage divider/distribution element having a larger geometrical extension in at least one direction which is supplied with an alternating voltage. A potential measuring probe is guided according to the displacement, angle or position to be detected and is maintained in a non-contacting relationship at such a distance relative to the voltage divider/distribution element that the potential measuring probe senses, by capacitive coupling, different alternating voltage amplitudes of the alternating voltage amplitude distribution pattern, depending on the relative position occupied by it. The potential measuring probe is connected to a potential coupling probe that acts capacitively upon a coupling electrode, from where the alternating voltage amplitude value detected by the potential measuring probe is transmitted for evaluation.

Abstract: The thermal treatment process involves combustion or other processes within a melting cyclone above a lower furnace at temps. above 1300 deg. C. By setting a specific partial pressure of oxygen in the melting cyclone and by using at least one blast lance in the furnace, the evaporation of any heavy metal which may be present is reduced. Thus, the residual slag has an extremely low heavy metal content. The added material used is selected so that the residual slag, after cooling, can be used as a component of granulated sand from which blast furnace cement can be produced.
