摘要： A method and system for generating backlight control values for a dual modulation display including a front panel having a first resolution and a backlight subsystem having lower resolution than the front panel, in response to input image data. Some embodiments determine statistical data indicative of at least one statistical measure of each of a number of spatially compact subsets of pixels of image data having the first resolution, where the pixels of image data are pixels of the input image data, color components of pixels of the input image data, or data values derived from pixels of the input image data. Some embodiments determine backlight drive values for each color channel of the backlight subsystem, including by determining statistical data for each color channel, determining backlight drive values for each color channel from the statistical data, and performing cross-channel correction on these backlight drive values.

摘要： A measurement system and method combine an audio announcement system with a plurality of spaced apart wirelessly coupled devices which evaluate speech intelligibility of audio output from loudspeakers of the audio announcement system. Processing can take place at some or all of the devices as well as at a common control element. Evaluations can be based on use of a method which maps to a Common Intelligibility Scale.

摘要： A synchronized gear shift mechanism is provided for a marine propulsion system. Using a hub and a sleeve that are axially movable relative to an output shaft but rotationally fixed to the shaft and to each other, the gear shift mechanism uses associated friction surfaces to bring the output shaft up to a speed that is synchronism with the selected forward or reverse gear prior to mating associated gear tooth surfaces together to transmit torque from an input shaft to an output shaft. The friction surfaces on the forward and reverse gears can be replaceable to facilitate repair after the friction surfaces experience wear.

摘要： A system converts digital video signals between two digital video signal formats. The system includes a rate converter which receives digital samples of the video signal in the first format and at the clock frequency thereof and converts those signls to digital samples of the video signal at the clock frequency of the second signal format. The outputs of the rate converter are combined with appropriate coefficients in a digital filter to produce alternately coefficient modified chorma and luminance signals which are combined in an output circuit to produce the digital video signal in the second video signal format.

摘要： A motorcycle fairing is disclosed herein which comprises a one-piece, formed or molded sheet of plastic, such as acrylic or fiberglass, having portions which extend in front of and above the motorcycle handlebars, and further including leg portions which extend downwardly along the opposite sides of the front fork of the motorcycle. The leg portions include panels pivotally attached thereto and positionable to direct air onto the engine or the rider in warm weather and to seal off the air in cooler weather. The motorcycle fairing is attached to the handlebars with brackets, and also with a gasket which extends along the inside edge of the fairing and engages the front fork and lights of the motorcycle. The gasket aids in securing the fairing to the motorcycle, absorbing vibrations due to the road and motorcycle, and permits the fairing to fit different size motorcycles.
