    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of tandem communication between at least a first portion of a network suitable for voice communications and a second portion of a network suitable for voice communications. In an embodiment of the present invention, a common data format is applied to an encoded signal produced by a codec of the first portion of a network. Upon application, the common data format comprises quantised parameters of the encoded signal and descriptors characterising the coding scheme of the first codec.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus enables selection a communication system when a user of a mobile unit is away from a home system to which it is registered. According to one novel aspect, the visited communication system broadcasts (402) a list of standardized type services including tariff information, which is used by the mobile unit to select a system. According to another novel aspect, the mobile initiates an outgoing call of a non-standardised type service by accessing (502) a candidate system and informing it of the location of the home network and desired service identifier. The candidate system obtains (504) the service information on this service from the home network, and then provides (546) a quotation for a required service. Also, a communication system according to the present invention minimises incoming call costs to the user wherein the home system polls (606) the communication systems within range of the mobile unit to select the best system to provide service.

    Abstract: In the field of computer graphics and more specifically computer implemented animation, two known alternative methods for rendering objects which have volume (fire, smoke, clouds, etc.) are ray marching and splatting (i.e. particle-based rendering). These methods have contrasting strengths and weaknesses. The present volume rendering method and associated apparatus combine these methods, drawing on the strengths of each. The ray marches a volume but, rather than merely accumulating the samples along the ray, a distinct particle is generated for each sample. Each particle captures the volume's local attributes. The particles are then rendered through splatting. Thus the method has the strengths of splatting e.g., fast 3D motion blur and hardware rendering, and the strengths of ray marching e.g., volume sampling density corresponds with camera proximity since rays disperse, thereby focusing computer processing time on important volume detail and minimizing noise. The present method is useful in production of animated feature films, providing fast high-quality volume rendering with true 3D motion blur.

    Abstract: A contrast media injection system includes detects the absolute position of the syringe ram using a non-contact sensor. A series of magnets and Hall-Effect sensors may be used or an opto-reflective system. Illuminated knobs that are connected to the drive mechanism for the syringe ram rotate with the drive and provide visual feedback on operation through the illumination. Analog Hall-Effect sensors are used to determine the presence or absence of magnets that identify the type of faceplate being used. The faceplates include control electronics, connected to the powerhead through connectors, which may be interchangeably used by the two faceplates. The faceplate electronics include detectors for automatically detecting the capacity of pre-filled syringes. Additional features include using historical data to provide optimum pressure limit values during an injection protocol, a removable memory device for storing and transferring information such as injection protocols and injector statistics, and password protection of such protocols.
