A first motion vector is estimated by using a first frame and a second frame that follows the first frame. A support frame is generated from at least either the first or the second frame by using the first motion vector. The support frame is divided into a plurality of small blocks. Motion vector candidates are estimated by using the first and second frames, in relation to each of the small blocks. A small block on the first frame, a small block on the second frame and the small blocks on the support frame are examined. The small block on the first frame and the small block on the second frame correspond to each of the motion vector candidates. A second motion vector is selected from the motion vector candidates, and points the small block on the first frame and the small block on the second frame which have the highest correlation with each of the small blocks on the support frame. An interpolated frame is generated from at least either the first or the second frame by using the second motion vector.

A physical layer device provides for synchronization of clocks in a communication network. A place holder for an alignment marker is inserted into a frame to be transmitted. Once the placeholder alignment marker is inserted into the frame, no additional data is added to the frame. Transmission of the frame including the placeholder alignment marker may also be delayed to allow data processing in subsequent blocks within a transmit block to complete prior to further processing of the frame including the placeholder alignment marker (e.g., timestamping, MACSec, etc.) to improve timing accuracy with a multi lane distribution environment.

The A-frame picking system includes a central computer and a plurality of frames and their controllers, each frame including a plurality of items in dispensers with approximately vertical stacks. Each frame preferably also has a conveyor for transporting items dispensed from the dispensers into totes for filling the orders. Each tote has a unique identity and information storage medium, as well as an interface for communicating with the central computer and the frame controllers. The medium may be an RFID tag, a computer chip with an interface, or a two-dimensional or stacked barcode that contains the tote identification and the required list of items.

A (e.g., U-shaped) receiving frame to be mounted in a drive bay or similar enclosure and interfaced with a host computer. The receiving frame receives therewithin a removable computer drive carrier module which encloses a computer drive and a removable fan module which exhausts heat generated by the computer drive to the atmosphere. Should the fan module fail, it is simply and easily removed from the receiving frame to be replaced by a new module, but without affecting the operation of the computer drive module or requiring that the receiving frame be taken out of service. A rotatable handle is pivotally connected across the first end of the computer drive carrier module. When the computer drive module is installed in the receiving frame, the handle is rotated to a closed position by which to cause power to be supplied to the computer drive. When it is desirable to apply a pulling force to the handle in order to remove the computer drive carrier from the receiving frame, the handle is rotated to an open position by which to cause power to be automatically removed from the computer drive.

A (50) method and apparatus (110) for determining a scanning format of a frame of a video signal determines (52) if any interfield motion exists within the frame; and indicates (53) that the frame is interlaced scanned if interfield motion is detected and indicates (54) that the frame is progressive scanned if interfield motion is not detected. The determination is based on spatial correlation within and around one or more edges of one or more objects in the frame. This can be accomplished by identifying zig-zag or zipper effects near one or more edges of one or more objects in the frame, identifying motion between fields or identifying motion near one or more edges of one or more objects. A method (100) for determining a field order of two interlaced frames of a video sequence of frames assigns (101) one of the two interlaced frames to be a first frame and the other of the two interlaced frames to be a second frame and assembles (102) two new frames from the two interlaced frames by combining a bottom field of the first frame with the top field of the second frame and by combining a top field of the first frame with a bottom field of the second frame. The number of zipper points in each of the two new frames is then determined and compared. If the number of zipper points in the first frame is smaller than the number of zipper points in the second frame, that the field order of the two frames is top field first, otherwise the field order is bottom field first.

To provide a layout system that is aesthetically neat even with a margin set in a text information container frame a content delivery terminal segments a text information container frame overlapping another information container frame so that none of the information container frames overlap each other, adjusts the size of a margin and a placement location of one of a plurality of text information container frames so that the spacing between two segmented information container frames having consecutive lines in proximity areas thereof is equal or substantially equal to a line height in each of the text information container frames, and places a selected article into the segmented information container frames.

A character string is stored in a character information storage module 11 as text data while the size of each character is stored in a character size storage module 12. The state of a frame in which the character string is displayed or printed is set to a “configuration fixed state” or a “configuration alterable state” by a frame state setting module 14 and the configuration of the frame is stored in a frame configuration storage module 13. When the frame configuration alteration module 14 has set the frame in the “configuration fixed state”, a character size alteration module 16 alters the memory contents of the character size storage module 12 so that the character string will fit in the frame. When the frame configuration alteration module 14 has set the frame in the “configuration alterable state”, a frame configuration alteration module 13 alters the memory contents of the frame configuration storage module 15 so that the character string will fit in the frame.

Systems and methods for efficiently reformatting video data in regions of video including occlusions are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes determining multiple motion vectors that link/relate matching blocks of two reference frames and calculating a measure related to overlap area of the matching blocks in one or both of the reference frames with a block to be constructed in an intermediate frame. The measure related to overlap area takes into account a particular interpolation phase of the frame being constructed in relation to the two reference frames. In one embodiment, a ranking of the measure related to overlap areas is used to classify the block to be constructed according to a degree of occlusion. In another aspect the location of the matching blocks in one or both of the reference frames is used in the classification of the block to be constructed.

The specification discloses a rapidly-opening hunting blind comprising a fabric enclosure including an opening and moveable side panels at least partially defined by a resilient framework. The moveable side panels at least partially define a closure for the opening. The hunting blind has a closed condition, wherein free ends of the side panels are releasably connected to at least partially define a tent-like closure for the opening, and an opened condition, wherein the side panels extend radially outwardly and expose the opening. The resilient framework is biased towards the opened condition of the hunting blind such that when, in the closed condition of the hunting blind, the connected free ends of the side panels are released, the side panels tend spontaneously away from each other towards their radially extending configuration.

The invention is an add-on implementation of a stabilized association memory matrix system to an existing convolutional neural network framework. This invention emulates the intra-action and the inter-action of the cognitive processes of the (logical) left-brain and (intuitive) right-brain. The invention is a numerically stable soft-ware based implementation that (1) reduces the long training times, (2) reduces the execution time, and (3) produces intralayer and interlayer connections. The implementation of this joint processing architecture is designed to take an existing hierarchy of stepped based processes, add next to it a parallel hierarchy of associative memory processes, and then connect the two processes by another set of associative memory processes. Or, the stepped-based process may be replaced with additional associative memory processes to enhance the emulation of several bidirectional intralayer and interlayer cognitive process communication. In addition, the invention can be used as a neural network layer compression tool that takes in a multilayer perceptron, also known as a multilayer neural network, and outputs a single layer perceptron. The final construction can be visualized as two vertical rails connected with a set of horizontal rungs which motivates the name to this invention: J. Patrick's Ladder: A Machine Learning Enhancement Tool.

A microscope frame structure having a front brace for added stability and having a dual plate structure. The front brace is rigidly coupled to the front ends of an upper portion and a base portion. The upper portion then carries optical elements such as a camera for instance. In effect, the optical elements thus reside on a bridge structure, with substantially the same structural support at both ends of the bridge. The arrangement is particularly useful in automated specimen imaging and analysis systems. The dual frame is composed of an upper plate, which supports a sample, a lower plate which contacts an elevating screw, and a spacer post in between the upper plate and lower plate. This configuration allows for more stable movement of samples.
