Anti-flicker system for multi-plane graphics

InactiveUS6898327B1Increase of memory bandwidthIncrease of storage hardwareTelevision system detailsPulse modulation television signal transmissionGraphicsImaging condition
Flickering artifacts are removed from a displayed image by storing digital luminance values in a compressed form using disallowed luminance values clipped from a range of luminance values to encode run lengths of identical values of truncated luminance values and bits corresponding to bits truncated from the luminance values. A correction value is derived from a filter transfer function computed by summing an increase in correction value above a threshold within a range of luminance differences with a maximum change in correction value in each lower range, this providing a piecewise linear substantially quadratic transfer function without discontinuities that would engender other image artifacts. The non-linearity of the transfer function is this adaptive to different image conditions and types in regions of respective image planes and the correction factors implemented by the transfer function are freely adjustable to accommodate, for example, different scanning standards and display refresh rates.

Low profile plastic panel enclosure

The present invention provides a system of injection molded panels having integrated connectors which combine to form a low profile enclosure having a telescoping roof. The panels are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The ends of the wall panels have cavities to accept both roof and floor outwardly projecting locking posts for interlocking cooperative engagement which serve to rigidly connect the components together. The construction of the wall, roof, floor and door components minimizes component shapes and simplifies enclosure construction.

Drive unit for a door or gate, particularly for a garage door, and method for operating such drive unit

A drive unit for a door or a gate includes an electric motor, a detection unit for detecting the position of the door or gate, the detection unit being coupled to the motor and providing an identical pulse sequence with every rotation of the motor, wherein the duration of one pulse in the sequence is different from the duration of the other pulses in the sequence, which are equal. All detected pulses are stored in a non-volatile memory. The drive unit includes an electronic control and regulating circuit including an output stage for the electric motor and at least one memory, in which an operational program is stored providing a programmable learning procedure for an opening and closing movement of the door or gate based on the pulses provided by the detection unit.

Method and system for online condition monitoring of multistage rotary machinery

The present invention provides a method and system for online health condition monitoring of rotary machinery such as printing presses. The rotary machines have one or more stages and each stage has one or more rotary components. The method comprises the steps of: receiving one or more signals from sensors at each of the rotary units or bearing housings; generating an error matrix and diagnosing rotation synchronization errors among the different stages; generating error matrices using different signal processing techniques and diagnosing the health conditions of rotary components such as gears, bearings and shafts; and identifying the stages and rotary components having imperfections by comparing the current error matrices to stored reference error matrices. The present invention can also be used in other applications involving rotational components such as automobiles, airplanes, and power turbines to name a few.

System and method for providing optimized receiver architectures for combined pilot and data signal tracking

A system architecture for a receiver to process multiple signals on a common carrier frequency from a satellite. The receiver is arranged such that the receiver receives input data transmitted from the satellite. A pilot signal is tracked from the input data using a correlation channel, and a data signal is tracked from the input data using a data code generator operatively connected to the correlation channel. In one embodiment of the invention, the data signal generator creates replica code for the data signal. In another embodiment of the invention, the system can switch between the data signal generator and pilot signal generator based upon the signal-to-noise ratio of the incoming signal.

System and method for synchronizing serial digital interfaces over packet data networks

InactiveUS20070201491A1Simple for clock accuracyIntuitive accuracyTime-division multiplexData switching by path configurationSerial digital interfaceSerial port
A system for synchronizing circuit interfaces for transmitting a serial bit stream in the form of data packets over a packet data network (PDN). The system includes a transmitter side device responsible to receive the data packets via a serial interface comprising data from an input serial line according to an input clock and output the data into a PDN. The system also includes a receiver side device responsible to receive the data packets from the PDN and to release the data packets into an output serial line, according to the difference between the input clock and an output clock (COUT), such that small input clock deviations can be detected and adjusted for upon releasing the output bits into the output serial line.
