A high energy density, high power density capacitor having an energy density of at least about 0.5 J/cm3 is provided. The capacitor comprises a plurality of interleaved metal electrode layers separated by a polymer layer. The interleaved metal electrode layers terminate at opposite ends in a solder termination strip. The high energy density aspect of the capacitors of the invention is achieved by at least one of the following features: (a) the dielectric thickness between the interleaved metal electrode layers is a maximum of about 5 mu m; (b) the polymer is designed with a high dielectric constant kappa of at least about 3.5; (c) the metal electrode layers within the polymer layer are recessed along edges orthogonal to the solder termination strips to prevent arcing between the metal electrode layers at the edges; and (d) the resistivity of the metal electrode layers is within the range of about 10 to 500 ohms per square, or a corresponding thickness of about 200 to 30 ANGSTROM .

In an electronic apparatus having a touch panel and a chassis for supporting the touch panel, pair of fixing cushions are fixed to the touch panel along edges, which are parallel to each other, of the touch panel. Pair of vibration absorbing cushions are fixed to the chassis parallel to each other. A fixing flame is disposed between the touch panel and the chassis and fixed to the fixing cushions and the vibration absorbing cushions. Thus, the touch panel is supported against the chassis by the fixing cushions, the fixing frame and the vibration absorbing cushions. When the touch panel vibrates, the vibration absorbing cushions prevent transmission of the vibration from the touch panel to the chassis through fixing cushions and the fixing frame. Accordingly, the vibration of the touch panel hardly exercises a harmful influence on components mounted on the chassis.

A method and apparatus for motion blur and ghosting prevention in imaging system is presented. A residue image is computed by performing spatial-temporal filter with a set of absolute image difference of image pairs from input images. A noise adaptive pixel threshold is computed for every pixel based on noise statistics of image sensor. The residue image and the noise adaptive pixel threshold are used to create a motion masking map. The motion masking map is used to represent motion and non-motion pixels in pixels merging. The pixels merging step is performed to generate an output image by considering the motion pixels where the motion pixels are performed separately. The resulting output image having no or less motion blur and ghosting artifacts can be obtained, even the input images having different degree of motion blur between each of the image, while the complexity is low. It is preferred that the current invention is applied in the Bayer raw domain. The benefit is reduced computation and memory because only 1 color component is processed for each pixel. Another benefit is higher signal fidelity because processing in the Bayer raw domain is unaffected by demosaicing artifacts, especially along edges. However, the current invention can also be applied in RGB domain.

The present invention relates to a gaming machine candle device. Gaming machines utilize electric "candles" placed thereon to inform patrons of a machine's particular denomination. In other words, yellow signifies a quarter machine and red a nickel machine. The improved candle device described herein uses colored and transparent plastic plates in conjunction with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to more visibly and aesthetically inform patrons. A first transparent colored plate is illuminated to signify the machine's denomination. A second plate behind said first plate is used to inform gaming machine operators of concerns with said machine or player. Said second plate may also display words or logos affiliated with operators, manufacturers or the like. Frosting and beveling techniques along edges and surfaces of said plates cause LED light to refract highlighting those areas. A transparent second plate permits the color of said first plate to be viewed throughout a gaming establishment.

Systems and methods for upsampling input images may evaluate potential upsampling solutions with respect to an objective function that is dependent on a sparse derivative prior on second derivative(s) of the potential upsampling solutions to identify an acceptable higher-resolution output image. The objective function may also be dependent on fidelity term(s) and/or sparse derivative prior(s) on first derivative(s) of potential upsampling solutions. The methods may include applying the iteratively re-weighted least squares procedure in minimizing the objective function and generating improved candidate solutions from an initial solution. The identified solution may be stored as a higher-resolution version of the input image in memory, and made available to subsequent operations in an image editing application or other graphics application. The methods may produce sharp results that are also smooth along edges. The methods may be implemented as program instructions stored on computer-readable storage media, executable by a CPU and/or GPU.

A humidifier for a fuel cell system comprises a stack of thin plates having planar sealing surfaces at their edges. A water permeable membrane is provided between each pair of plates. Each plate defines a gas flow passage along its top and bottom surfaces, with an inlet and outlet defined along edges of the plate, and a flow field extending between the inlet and outlet openings. Inlet and outlet passages connect the inlet and outlet openings to the flow field, and the planar sealing surfaces on both sides of the plate include bridging portions which extend across the inlet and outlet passages. Support structures are provided throughout the flow field and the inlet and outlet passages to support the membrane and diffusion medium layer(s). The support structures may optionally be connected together by webs having holes for flow distribution between the top and bottom of each plate.

The invention relates to a control method for an autonomous mobile robot walking along an edge. The robot walks along the edge of a wall or an object against the wall, plans a corresponding walking area according to a path for walking along the edge, and walks over the walking area. Through the method of walking along the edge, the walking area is planned and covered. The problem of loss sweepingor repeated cleaning is effectively avoided. The cleaning efficiency in an open environment is improved. The cleaning robot can easily find the entrance and exit of a room. Each room is completely cleaned. The cleaning efficient is high.
