Abstract: A system and methods provide handling of variable rate playback in a multimedia computer architecture. The systems and methods provide data structures and interfaces that enable a computer architecture and components therein with the ability to playback data at speeds faster and slower than real-time, to playback data in reverse, and to change the rate of playback at any point during playback. One embodiment is a method for providing low-latency, glitch-free changes in a multimedia architecture. Other embodiments are directed to defining multimedia component responsibilities for making rate changes, allowing rate changes to work with standard playback types, coder-decoders, and renderers. The methods include determining a minimum of the maximum reported playback rates and determining minimum and maximum playback rates in a set of modes including: reverse skip mode, reverse key frame mode, reverse full mode, forward full mode, forward key frame mode, and forward skip mode.

Abstract: Assessment of de-interlaced video quality is determined automatically by de-interlacing interlaced video content using a reference de-interlacer and a test de-interlacer. The reference de-interlacer produces a result of known quality and the test de-interlacer is one which is being assessed. The result from each de-interlacer is compared to reference video content to derive a signal-to-noise ratio for each relative to the reference video content. The difference in the signal-to-noise ratios is compared against a predefined threshold. If the difference is within the range defined by the threshold, the test de-interlacer is determined to produce an acceptable product.

Abstract: Native operating system application programming interfaces (API's) are described using metadata and such descriptions are stored in a standard file format in a known location. By storing API definitions using such metadata, other applications can readily identify and use the APIs. To create such API representations, during development, a developer describes the shape of the API, including (but not limited to) the classes, interfaces, methods, properties, events, parameters, structures and enumerated types defined by the API. This API description is processed by a tool which generates a machine-readable metadata file. The machine-readable metadata file contains the same information as the API description, however in a format designed to be machine read rather than human authored.

Abstract translation: 使用元数据描述本地操作系统应用编程接口（API），并且这些描述以已知位置的标准文件格式存储。 通过使用此类元数据存储API定义，其他应用程序可以轻松识别和使用API​​。 要在开发过程中创建这样的API表示，开发人员将描述API的形状，包括（但不限于）由API定义的类，接口，方法，属性，事件，参数，结构和枚举类型。 该API描述由生成机器可读元数据文件的工具进行处理。 机器可读的元数据文件包含与API描述相同的信息，但是以设计为机器读取而不是人工编写的格式。

Abstract: A system and method for calculating audio processing attribute in digital signal processing system are provided. A testing system generates a multi-channel test signal in which one channel is returned to the testing system and the other channel is sent to a tested system. The test signals are processed, mixed and correlated. The resulting differences in the correlated signals are used to calculate various processing attributes of the tested system.

Abstract: Information about the operating system application programming interfaces is stored in a known format in a known location. This information fully describes the APIs exposed by the operating system and is stored in API metadata files. A language compiler or interpreter uses this API information to build a natural and familiar representation of the native system API in the target language. The language compiler or interpreter can read the API information at compile time and/or runtime. The metadata is used to allow an application to refer to named elements in the API. Projections are built that use the metadata to map named elements in the API to named elements in the target language, and to define wrappers that marshal data of those elements between the target representation and the native operating system representation.

Abstract: A system for collecting, storing and displaying dermatological images for the purpose of monitoring and diagnosis of skin conditions and skin cancers, including melanoma. A hand-held unit illuminates a section of the patient's skin, and an imaging device generates imaging signals from light derived from a skin section. Pairs of light output ports in the hand-held unit are arranged such that their intensity distributions overlap at their half-intensity levels so that the resulting summation of their intensities has a flat central region. Three image stores are maintained, one for lesion images, one for “nearby skin” images, and one for reference-white images. The “nearby skin” images are used by the system software to automatically determine the skin/lesion border. The reference white images are used to set the dynamic range of the instrument and to compensate for lighting irregularities. Two images of the same lesion taken at different times may be displayed simultaneously so that changes in the lesion may be determined. The calibration system is designed so that image data taken on any of multiple machines built to the same specification will be corrected back to a common reference standard to ensure absolute accuracy in colour rendition.

Abstract translation: 用于收集，存储和显示皮肤病图像的系统，用于监测和诊断皮肤状况和皮肤癌，包括黑素瘤。 手持单元照亮患者皮肤的一部分，并且成像装置从衍生自皮肤部分的光产生成像信号。 手持单元中的一对光输出端口布置成使得它们的强度分布以其半强度水平重叠，使得其强度的总和具有平坦的中心区域。 维护三个图像存储，一个用于损伤图像，一个用于“附近皮肤”图像，一个用于参考白色图像。 系统软件使用“附近皮肤”图像自动确定皮肤/病变边界。 参考白色图像用于设置仪器的动态范围并补偿照明不规则。 可以同时显示在不同时间拍摄的相同病变的两个图像，从而可以确定病变的变化。 校准系统的设计使得在同一规格上制造的多台机器上拍摄的图像数据将被修正为公共参考标准，以确保色彩再现的绝对准确性。
