The application is also responsive to the resize request to selectively add or remove control components from the user interface in response to size adjustments to the window being made by the user.

An optical delivery waveguide for a material laser processing system includes a small lens at an output end of the delivery waveguide, transforming laser beam divergence inside the waveguide into a spot size after the lens. By varying the input convergence angle and/or launch angle of the laser beam launched into the waveguide, the output spot size can be continuously varied, thus enabling a continuous and real-time laser spot size adjustment on the workpiece, without having to replace the delivery waveguide or a process head. A divergence of the laser beam can also be adjusted dynamically and in concert with the spot size.

At least one object in an image presented on a display of an apparatus is detected and image location data for each of the at least one object is obtained. Each detected object on the display is presented in a sequential fashion based the obtained image location data, where the image is panned on the display and a currently displayed object is resized by an image resizing module of the apparatus to be a focal point of the image.

Training data object images are clustered as a function of motion direction attributes and resized from respective original into same aspect ratios. Motionlet detectors are learned for each of the sets from features extracted from the resized object blobs. A deformable sliding window is applied to detect an object blob in input by varying window size, shape or aspect ratio to conform to a shape of the detected input video object blob. A motion direction of an underlying image patch of the detected input video object blob is extracted and motionlet detectors selected and applied that have similar motion directions. An object is thus detected within the detected blob and semantic attributes of an underlying image patch extracted if a motionlet detectors fires, the extracted semantic attributes available for use for searching for the detected object.

A system for monitoring a plumbing system having a plurality of fixtures includes a sensor vibrationally coupled to the plumbing system and a processor. The sensor detects a vibration produced by the plumbing system, and generates a signal representative of the vibration. The processor receives the signal, compares the signal to a signal database that associates each of a plurality of stored signals with operation of one or more of the fixtures, and determines that the associated fixture or group of fixtures has been operated based on the comparison. The processor also stores a record of the operation of the associated fixture or group of fixtures.

A support structure and method, designed to maintain a resealable plastic bag in an open position within a dishwasher through the washing and drying cycles, has at least two vertically extending support and restraining straps that may be engaged with like straps to form a resilient support framework. A plurality of mating dimples and protrusions offer controlled size adjustments, while maintaining the reliability of the structure. The structure is readily collapsible to a flat and compact structure prior to purchase and when not in use, and includes features to engage with the rack in the dishwasher to prevent the support and bag from being substantially relocated during the wash process.

A method of viewing a high resolution display on a low resolution development system display for a digital device includes selecting a target device and identifying an image form for the selected device. An image form displays a realistic form of the selected target device. A form factor is selected which represents the display capabilities of the target device. The image form size is adjusted such that the developer may see text in proper proportion to the image form so as to simulate the look of the high resolution display of the target device. Object code for the target device is generated which contains the proper font size to correspond to the image form and font on the development display.

A system and method for expansion and reduction of images uses an absolute value associated with each pixel of an input image (e.g., a color and/or intensity value) to determine a respective energy value for each pixel. For example, a given color or range of colors (e.g., skin tones, or other high-priority colors) may be assigned higher energy values than other colors and/or color ranges, and may be protected during image reduction and/or expansion. These energy values may be used to determine a cost associated with various seams of the image, which may represent the priority of the seams in the image. One or more low-cost seams may be identified for removal or replication to produce a resized image. The methods may be used in conjunction with an automated skin tone detector or a user interface that allows selection of one or more high priority colors or color ranges.

A clothing garment is formed in two loops or bands as unitary garment. A first of the two loops is an elongated member and the second is an elongated, non-rectangular member, having a wide central region. The two loops can be in the form of two pieces of fabric sewn or otherwise bonded together to form two joined loops. The loops can be elongated pieces of fabric formed into loops by a releasable closure member, such as a hook and loop connector. The connector can provide size adjustment to accommodate various head sizes. The loop with the wide central region is shorter than the essentially rectangular loop.

An operation input unit designates an image to be compared via a thumbnail image or the like. A photographing-information extracting unit extracts, from an image file of the image stored in an image memory, photographing information including the size and the number of pixels of CCD in an image pickup apparatus having captured the image, the distance to an object, and the focusing distance of an image pickup lens. A resizing processing unit automatically enlarges or reduces at least one image to be compared so as to set substantially the same display size of the same object included in a plurality of images, serving as comparison targets, on the basis of the photographing information and display information including resolution of a display, obtained from a display setting unit. A displaying control unit displays the resized image on the display.

The present invention provides an analytical solution for voltage drop and current density calculation based on design-specific current consumption. The new technique calculates voltage drop and current density at all desired points of the power supply mesh. One application of the method is power mesh sizing by scaling the mesh resistance by the ratio between allowed voltage drop budget and the maximum of the calculated voltage drop. The designer can easily obtain the maximum allowed resistance of a uniform mesh which meets exactly the voltage drop budget, taking into account the design-specific spatial distribution of current consumption. Since the computational cost of the new methodology is negligible, e.g. as compared to prior art methods of analysis, this invention is suitable for implementation embedded in an RTL floorplan tool for fast, interactive tradeoff between floorplan location and voltage drop.

The invention relates to a multiple information encrypted two-dimensional code anti-counterfeiting method, which comprises the steps of generating an encrypted serial number through carrying out algorithm encryption on a digital serial number, acquiring an image containing the encrypted serial number by using a screenshot method, carrying out dimension adjustment, image graying and image scrambling processing on the encrypted serial number to acquire a secret image, inserting the secret image into a two-dimensional image by using a bit operation method by taking a two-dimensional code as a carrier so as to acquire a mixed two-dimensional code which is finally used for printing; and acquiring the encrypted serial number through extracting the secret image in the two-dimensional code and carrying out anti-scrambling processing when information verification is carried out, then acquiring a decrypted serial number by adopting a decryption algorithm, and distinguishing authenticity of information through comparing the decrypted serial number with an original serial number. The method provided by the invention realizes two-dimensional anti-counterfeiting by combining simple information algorithm encryption and a method of image conversion and image concealing. The method is easy to implement, does not influence the information capacity of the two-dimensional code, and has very good anti-counterfeiting performance.
