摘要:
A system for processing an image includes a an image data input port, a compressed image data output port or a compressed image data storage node, a non-transitory memory component storing a set of executable instructions, and a scalable tile processing device. The executable instructions cause the system to receive image data, partition the image data into tiles, transmit a tile to the scalable tile processing device, receive an encoded bit stream corresponding to the transmitted tile from the tile processing device, and output compressed image data including the encoded bit stream. The scalable tile processing device receives the tile including tile image data, wavelet transforms, quantizes, segments, and encodes the tile image data to generate a plurality of encoded code blocks, and transmits an encoded bit stream including the plurality of encoded code blocks to the system.

A policy proxy intercepts a data stream between a data server and a user or other device, identifies the user device, and identifies a policy in an integrated policy server applicable to the user device based on the identity of the user device. The policy proxy may identify one or more of the policy elements based on the user device, and translate the policy elements into actions involving the data stream between the data server and the user device so as to implement at least one aspect of the identified policy. The actions can comprise permitting normal exchange of data between the data server and the user device, preventing communication between the data server and the user device, or modifying the data stream between the data server and the user device.
摘要:
A polishing machine is described in which a surface treatment tool is moved across the surface of a workpiece in accordance with a predefined tool-path, in order to carry out the desired treatment process. The tool-path is non-periodic and preferably pseudo-random. Various techniques are described for generating data representing the tool-path to be followed. A technique is also described for determining optimum control parameters used to control the polishing machine for a given tool-path. The surface treatment may be a shaping technique in which material is removed from the surface, or a technique for adding material to the surface of the workpiece, or a technique for modifying the surface or a region under the surface of the workpiece.
摘要:
Policy is provided from an integrated policy server to a mobile device, comprising identifying a policy in an integrated policy server applicable to the mobile device and supplying policy elements to policy transports for transmission to the mobile device. Policy can also be provided from an integrated policy server to a mobile device, including identifying a policy in the integrated policy server applicable to the mobile device, determining whether the mobile device is in compliance with the policy, and supplying policy elements to policy transports for transmission to the mobile device when the mobile device is not in compliance with the policy. Access to a data server by a mobile device can be controlled, including identifying a policy in an integrated policy server applicable to the mobile device, and determining whether the mobile device is in compliance with the policy.

A computer program is disclosed including but not limited to instructions to input an initial description of a data format and a batch of data comprising data in a new data format not covered by the initial description, instructions to use the first description to parse the records in the data source, instructions to discard records in the input data that parse successfully, instructions to collect records that fail to parse, instructions to accumulate a quantity, M of records that fail to parse, instructions to return a modified description that extends the initial description to cover the new data, instructions to transform the first description, D into a second description D′ to accommodate differences between the input data format and the first description D by introducing options where a piece of data was missing in the input data and introducing unions where a new type of data was found in the input data; and instructions to use a non-incremental format inference system such as LEARNPADS to infer descriptions for the aggregated portions of input data that did not parse using the first description D.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of patterning a layer formed from a fixable material such as photopolymer on a surface in a desired pattern. The method involves coating selected areas of the substrate with an adhesion promoter and subsequently coating the fixable material. The fixable material is then fixed, for instance by curing by exposure to UV radiation. The adhesion promoter is adapted to have a surface energy which is designed to adhere to the substrate or selected areas thereof and also to the fixed material such that fixed material may be easily removed from areas of the substrate not coated with adhesion promoter but retained in areas where the adhesion promoter has bonded to the substrate.

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for a cross-border Payment Facilitation Engine. Through its various components, the cross-border Payment Facilitation Engine creates new markets by generating and facilitating payment. In one embodiment, the Engine manages the transaction by: creating a transaction “template” based on transaction information, alerting the buyer to potential problem areas, and updating of important upcoming dates and actions, and handling payment arrangements. The Engine creates all the required documents, manages payment instruments, integrates all events and parties, including the financial institutions, and allows parties to track the status of the payments on-line at any time. In one embodiment, the Engine provides the user with a template to ensure all pertinent information is detailed, so that payment responsibilities of the trading partners are clearly defined and transparent prior to engagement. The Engine has many numerous and revolutionary components to facilitate cross-border payment, such as, but not limited to: a payment matrix that employs interrelated rules and data sets pertinent to the exchange of payments and transfer of financial instrument as between seller, buyer and any intermediary financial institutions; an exchange facility which discerns differences in currency as between buyers and sellers and automatically render all financial transactions in the user's native currency. The Engine may also be equipped to manage fluctuations in exchange rates.
摘要:
A system for referring a telephone communication to one of a plurality of financial assistance providers based on lender criteria, the method including the steps of: storing telephone numbers for a plurality of financial assistance providers in memory accessible by a digital electrical computer; obtaining lender criteria for selecting one of the financial assistance providers; storing said criteria for access by said computer; identifying a debtor; selecting one of the financial assistance providers by accessing the criteria, applying the criteria, and accessing one of the stored telephone numbers; and connecting the debtor by telephone to the one of the stored telephone numbers. The system can be used with an intermediary that detects referring information sufficient to identify a referrer identity, to select which one of several financial assistance providers to refer the inbound communication by using a computer to look up and to apply referral criteria responsive to the referrer identity, and to form and track the call referral.
摘要:
An integrated fluidized bed ash cooler for a fluidized bed boiler, particularly a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler, employs at least two fluidized bed sections positioned in series along a solids flow path. Each section contains fluidizing means, the first section along the solids path being separated from a following section with a threshold. The first section contains means for measuring a bed temperature in the vicinity of the fluidizing means and at a higher elevation within the fluidized bed. Means are provided for removing oversized bed material from the first section to facilitate the removal of ash while minimizing the possibility of ash plugging during operation.
