Device-type-specific XSLT style sheets (or equivalent) are generated from page layout files or "presentation skeleton' files which define a Web page layout including abstract component references that can be mapped to complex, device-specific or repeated style sheet components and are more easily constructed than XSLT style sheets. The presentation skeleton files use and extend existing mark-up languages. One presentation skeleton file can be used to generate XSLT style sheets for many devices that use the same mark-up language. In addition, presentation skeleton files can be produced directly from storyboard files to demonstrate Web sites statically before constructing them for real. This provides a route from initial Web site design to final implementation for multiple output devices.

A projection system uses a transformation matrix to transform a projection image p in such a manner so as to compensate for surface irregularities on a projection surface. The transformation matrix makes use of properties of light transport relating a projector to a camera. If the resolution a camera is lower than that of a projector within said projection system, then the transformation matrix will have holes where image data corresponding to a projector pixel will have been lost. In this, case, new image are generated to fill-in the holes.

This invention provides a novel switch for use in a telecommunications network that is capable of interacting with a voice assisted services server, such as a voice activated dialing (VAD) server. The switch is configured to set-up a calling session between an originating terminal and the VAD server that creates a voice connection between the user at the originating terminal and the VAD server, the voice connection passing through the switch. The VAD server can then in response to a spoken utterance indicative of the party the user wishes to call, generate a transcription of the utterance and extract from a database the telephone number associated with this transcription. The VAD server then formulates a call session redirect message in which is embedded the telephone number of the party the user wishes to call. This call session redirect message is received by the switch and the command implemented such that the call session is redirected toward the desired location. After this procedure is completed, the connection between the switch and the VAD is released. The invention also extends to a novel voice assisted services server capable of remotely effecting call management at a switch based on a spoken utterance conveyed to the voice assisted services server over a voice connection. Further, the invention also extends to methods for operating a switch and a voice assisted services server to implement the above described functionalities. Yet, the invention also extends to a novel method and apparatus to effect billing operations allowing to differentiate for a single call session the part of the call session involving the voice assisted services server and the part following the call session redirect event.

The present invention relates to an image reconstruction device (12) for an X-ray apparatus and a method for local 3D reconstruction of an object area of an examination object (7) from 2D image data of several 2D X-ray images of the examination object (7) registered in chronological order with different known projection geometries using the X-ray apparatus. With the method a location in the object area under consideration is selected from one of the 2D X-ray images. The positions of the selected location are determined in at least some of the 2D X-ray images and a spatial motion of the selected location between the registrations of the 2D X-ray images is calculated from the positions obtained, taking the known projection geometries into consideration. The calculated motion is then annulled by modifying the 2D image data in the 2D X-ray images and a 3D image dataset of at least the object area is reconstructed from the modified 2D image data. The method and the image reconstruction device enable a 3D image of a moving locally bounded object area to be reconstructed in a simple way without motion artifacts.

A proxy generator produces computer code for compilation as a client-side proxy in support of client-server distributed software applications. Using information from a software “contract” file that defines the desired functionality of the distributed application, and, optionally, from a configuration file that tailors proxy operation for a specific application, the proxy generator generates proxy code for compilation as a generated proxy. This generated proxy interfaces a client application with a server application, and insulates the client application from the complexities of distributed computing. More particularly, the generated proxy automatically includes exception-handling mechanisms tailored to the software contract for both recoverable and non-recoverable errors. Information in the configuration file determines the generated proxy's response to recoverable errors, such as the number of retries attempted for a given type of network communication error.

A method for determining the composition of fluids flowing through pipes from noninvasive measurements of acoustic properties of the fluid is described. The method includes exciting a first transducer located on the external surface of the pipe through which the fluid under investigation is flowing, to generate an ultrasound chirp signal, as opposed to conventional pulses. The chirp signal is received by a second transducer disposed on the external surface of the pipe opposing the location of the first transducer, from which the transit time through the fluid is determined and the sound speed of the ultrasound in the fluid is calculated. The composition of a fluid is calculated from the sound speed therein. The fluid density may also be derived from measurements of sound attenuation. Several signal processing approaches are described for extracting the transit time information from the data with the effects of the pipe wall having been subtracted.

A uniform mechanism for building containment hierarchies separates the code / method which actually perform the containment insertion operations on the components from the specification of the containment and then provides an automatic way of obtaining and executing that code when containment hierarchies need to be created. The mechanism consists of an abstract syntax for describing the containment relationships, processing mechanism for creating the containment mechanism, and a registry containing the mechanisms for implementing specific containment policies. Having this abstraction allows an application programmer to be able to construct hierarchies of objects without having to be concerned about the specific details of how that containment is performed. In fact, the details may be deferred until run-time (and even downloaded from elsewhere). Also, having this abstraction significantly simplifies automatic generation of object hierarchy codes, both from the point of view its implementation as well as that of the code that is generated.

In addition, for faster acquisition and robust operation, the receiver includes and RSSI circuit based on FFT to detect transmitted carrier power at several different frequencies. The receiver also includes one or more frequency selective circuits that are tuned in response to the outputs from FFT and the status of the time and frequency registers.

An electronically commutated motor (ECM) often employs a Hall sensor for reliable operation. Even when a Hall sensor is omitted from a motor having a plurality of stator winding phases (24, 26) and a permanent-magnet rotor (22), one can reliably detect direction of rotation of the rotor by the steps of: (a) differentiating a voltage profile obtained by sampling either (1) induced voltage in a presently currentless phase winding or (2) voltage drop at a transistor, through which current is flowing to a presently energized phase winding, and (b) using such a differentiated signal (du_24″ / dt, du_26″ / dt) to control current flow in an associated phase winding. In this manner, one obtains reliable commutation, even if the motor is spatially separated from its commutation electronics.
