Abstract:
A panel includes a light permeable material that is partially coated with superimposed layers and includes a metallized layer. A print pattern typically has a radiation-reflective surface facing one side of the panel and a radiation-absorbing surface facing the other side of the panel, for example to form a vision control panel, for example a one-way vision, see-through graphic panel.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for responding to a data transfer are disclosed. One embodiment comprises a method that includes the following steps: retrieving an operator preference for a smooth representation or a sharp representation, determining a sustainable data transfer rate for streaming information to an auxiliary memory medium, selecting a set of operational parameters responsive to the operator preference and the sustainable data transfer rate, and applying the set of operational parameters to generate a data stream.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for responding to a data transfer are disclosed. One embodiment comprises a method that includes the following steps: determining a sustainable data transfer rate for data transfers to/from an external memory medium, acquiring a data stream, transforming the data stream, and selecting a value for at least one operational parameter associated with acquiring or transforming the data stream in response to the sustainable data transfer rate.
Abstract:
A system and method embodied in a digital camera coupled to a television that cooperate to calibrate and optimize images displayed on the television. The digital camera is provided with a video output port, an image sensor, a display, a lens and processing circuitry. The digital camera stores a television color bar. The digital camera has autocalibration firmware comprising a user interface that is used to automatically calibrate the video signal sent from the digital camera to the television. The firmware, by way of the user interface, prompts the user to point the camera at the television. The digital camera outputs the color bar by way of the output port to the television, which is displayed. Once pointed at the television, the image sensor views (images) the color bar displayed on the television, and the firmware automatically detects the imaged color bar. The firmware automatically adjusts (calibrates) the video signal output to the television until an optimal displayed image has been achieved.
Abstract:
In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided that comprises arranging a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to form a strobe for an image capture device. The method further comprises controlling an intensity of light emitted by the LEDs during an image capture process such that intensity of light emitted by one region of the LEDs is different than intensity of light emitted by another region of the LEDs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to ketamine derivatives of the formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and methods for treating pain comprising administering them, and their use in the manufacture of medicaments for treating pain. The present invention also relates to methods for anaesthetizing and methods for sedating a subject comprising administering ketamine derivatives of the formula (II).
Abstract:
In one embodiment there is shown a method for capturing data, the method comprising sensing a first signal, capturing an auto exposure (AE) image in response to a sensed first signal, the auto exposure image captured with settings based upon preestablished criterion, and upon the AE image being captured, determining if a second signal has been sensed, and if the second signal has been sensed, capturing a speculative full exposure image, and if the captured speculative full exposure is determined to be acceptable, reading the remainder of the captured speculative image.
Abstract:
Digital cameras and methods that employ location and time data to automatically select and/or adjust stored profiles used when taking photographs at different geographic locations. The digital camera comprises a user interface that is coupled to processing circuitry. A plurality of predetermined profiles are stored in the camera. Firmware is configured to run on the processing circuitry and process geographic location and time data entered into the camera, such as by way of the user interface, for example, to select one or more profiles based upon the geographic location and time data that were entered.
Abstract:
A digital camera and automatic mode detection method that eliminates the need for a user to select between video recording mode and still image mode while using the camera. The appropriate mode is automatically selected by the digital camera based upon the length of time its shutter button is depressed.
Abstract:
A photography system includes a digital camera and a remote control that wirelessly communicates with the camera. The remote control includes controls for causing the camera to select a region from its field of view to photograph. The selected region may include the entire field of view of the camera or a portion thereof. The remote control also includes a display screen that shows the photographer the selected region, thus providing feedback that the photographer can use to adjust the selection. The camera may optionally be a still camera, a video camera, or may be capable of taking both still photographs and video recordings.
