Abstract: The invention includes methods and apparatus for correcting shading non-uniformity in camera systems. A method includes capturing at least two sets of flatfield images from at least two sets of camera modules under first and second illuminant, respectively. Pixels for each image in the sets of flatfield images are then averaged to form first and second averaged flatfield images, respectively. The first averaged flatfield image is transformed using the second averaged flatfield image to create a transform image. The transform image is then saved in memory for calibrating the shading non-uniformity of the camera module.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting linear shift parallax error in multi-array image systems. Average pixel cell signal values for pixel cells within a summing window of each column or row of at least two sub-arrays are computed during read-out. The images of the sub-arrays are correlated based on the averages, then shifted based on a result of the correlation function to correct the exhibited parallax error. The summation, correlation, and shifting can be performed by a pixel pipeline processing circuit.

Abstract: A fuse state detection circuit is comprised of a first fuse element, a second fuse element, and an output for carrying an output signal, the output signal represents a first logic state when the first fuse element is blown and the second fuse element is unblown and the output signal represents a second logic state when the first element is unblown and the second element is blown. The fuse state detection circuit produces an output signal whose state is recoverable from a negative triggering event and is capable of resolving itself to the correct state without the need for a reset pulse. Methods of using the fuse state detection circuit, such as a method of using fuse elements to control a setting within an electronic circuit, the improvement comprising using a pair of fuse elements to control a single setting, are also given.

Abstract: A process for producing an absorbing polymer structure (Pa) including the steps of obtaining a treated absorbing polymer structure (Pb) by increasing the absorption under load at a load of 0.3 or 0.9 psi (AUL) compared to an untreated absorbing polymer structure (Pu) by a first treatment of an outer region of the untreated absorbing polymer structure (Pu) and reducing the AUL compared to the treated polymer structure (Pb) by a second treatment of an outer region of the treated absorbing polymer structure (Pb). Such absorbing polymer structure (Pa) may be used in a composite and may be used in foams, moulded articles, fibers, sheets, films, cables, sealing materials, liquid-absorbing hygiene articles, carriers for plant growth-regulating and fungal growth-regulating agents, packaging materials and soil additives or building materials.

Abstract: Personalized voice survey delivery systems and methods in which a computer identifies a person to be surveyed, including his or her phone number or Internet login to a specific website, or email address, together with specific identifiers for the person, such as the person's name. The person's phone number is dialed and when the call is answered, the computer concatenates the files having the digitized identifiers such as the person's name, with the file that is the standard message to be delivered as the initial survey content. Computer-generated personalized voice messages are created by concatenating data files of audio that were pre-recorded in the voice of an individual whose live voice is to be simulated during the delivery of the voice survey. The audio signal that is produced from the concatenated data files, one of which is a pre-recorded voice phrase corresponding to the identifier, another of which is a standard message, the resultant audio message sent to the called number sounds as if the calling party is the political office holder, celebrity, or candidate, addressing the called party directly, as if during a live telephone survey by the political office holder, celebrity, or candidate. The event of the person logging into a specific website or clicking a link in an email can be substituted for dialing the person's phone number.
