摘要:
Separations or images relating to film or other fields may be registered using a variety of features, such as, for example: (1) correcting one or more film distortions; (2) automatically determining a transformation to reduce a film distortion; (3) applying multiple criteria of merit to a set of features to determine a set of features to use in determining a transformation; (4) determining transformations for areas in an image or a separation in a radial order; (5) comparing areas in images or separations by weighting feature pixels differently than non-feature pixels; (6) determining distortion values for transformations by applying a partial distortion measure and/or using a spiral search configuration; (7) determining transformations by using different sets of features to determine corresponding transformation parameters in an iterative manner; and (8) applying a feathering technique to neighboring areas within an image or separation.

Post-production processing may be performed by receiving a film-processing order, determining a process useful in fulfilling film-processing order, identifying one or more resources available to perform the process useful in fulfilling the film-processing order, and scheduling with at least one of the identified resources to perform the process.

A double-sided optical disc, is formed with data tracks. The tracks on one side follow one spiral while the tracks on the other side follow a second spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, and therefore being mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from both sides of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc.

Methods and apparatus for recording on DVD-like recording media in which audio content is stored in a high-capacity multi-channel (e.g., six-channel) format are provided. Various channels may use various resolutions. A two-channel audio output may be derived from the multi-channel audio data stream during playback. To facilitate an accurate derivation, the mixing coefficients to be used in generating the derivation can be supplied along with the six-channel audio data.

A double-sided optical disc, such as a DVD-18 disc, is formed with data tracks on each layer. The tracks on one side are oriented along one spiral while the tracks on the other side are oriented along another spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, so that they are mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from either side of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc while normal data reading is proceeding. An optical disc drive is provided with an opening to accept the disc. The drive is incorporated into an entertainment device, a desktop PC, a mobile computing device, a PC tablet, etc. The disc drive includes two heads, one disposed on an inner wall of the drive facing the disc, and the other is disposed on a tray moving in and out of the opening.

A double-sided double-layer optical disc for storing digital programs, such as a DVD-18 disc, is formed with data tracks on each layer. The tracks on one side are oriented along one spiral while the tracks on the other side are oriented along a different spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, so that they are mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from both sides of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc while normal data reading is proceeding. A disc writer is provided with two heads that are arranged to write data on the respective sides of a disc. The two heads write data streams sequentially or simultaneously.
摘要:
A double sided (or higher multiple sided) data storing compact disc for optically recorded data has data surfaces that are separated by a thin film of wavelength selective material that passes light of one frequency and reflects light of a second (or multiple) frequency. The thin film either passively relies upon the inherent interference between light signals reflected from its upper and lower surfaces or is an active material that reflects light of one frequency and transmits light of a second frequency. A further aspect of the present invention is the method for the manufacture of such a multi-surfaced disc.

A plurality of reference nodes that are attached to the network are correlated with geographic location. Communication latency between the reference nodes are used to approximate the location of a target node once the communication latency from one of the reference nodes to the target node is determined.

摘要:
A player is provided that is capable of playing discs of either a first or a second configuration. Both types of discs can be double-sided optical discs formed with data tracks. In one configuration, the tracks on one side follow one spiral while the tracks on the other side follow a second spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, and therefore being mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from both sides of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc. In the other configuration, the tracks follow identical spirals. The disc is then rotated in one direction for one side and the other direction for the other side.
