Example embodiments are directed to a video image display system that includes a motion estimation circuit (112), a front-end motion compensation circuit (110), and a video signal conversion circuit (134, 136). The motion estimation circuit generates motion vectors as a function of an incoming video signal, the front-end motion compensation circuit receives and processes the incoming video signal as a function of the motion vectors for general video display, and the video signal conversion circuit receives the processed video signal from the front-end motion compensation circuit and generates a display signal for a specific video display as a function of both the processed video signal and the motion vectors. In one implementation, a scaler (120) is implemented to scale the video signal for a particular display type, with components of the motion compensation being implemented for use with the scaler.

A method for enhanced depth penetration of energy into a formation may include mechanically stimulating proppant in proppant-containing fractures in the formation at a first frequency to induce mechanical stress in the proppant and directing electromagnetic radiation at a second frequency into the proppant-containing fractures of the formation while mechanically stimulating the proppant, wherein the first frequency and the second frequency are the same or different and wherein the proppant includes silica.

“Bumper car” amusement rides are disclosed. An exemplary bumper car comprises a frame, a seat, a portable source of electrical power for propelling the car, multiple drive wheels, a motor controller, and at least one rider control. The seat is configured to hold and position at least one rider of the bumper car. The source is a portable source, mounted to the frame, of electrical power for propelling the bumper car. Each drive wheel comprises a respective hub motor that, when supplied with the electrical power from the source, rotates the respective drive wheel relative to the frame and propels the bumper car. The controller is connected to the source and to the hub motors. The controller is configured: (a) to limit a maximal current supplied by the source to the hub motors during a surge-current situation to a preset maximum, and (b) to ramp down the maximal current over a preset time interval during the surge-current situation. The at least one rider control is interconnected with the source and the hub motors and is configured to be manipulated by a rider for maneuvering the bumper car.

A dispenser configured to discern a specific source of material from a plurality of other sources of material, wherein the specific source of material and the plurality of other sources of material all comprise at least substantially similarly shaped bodies and spray heads, wherein the specific source of material comprises an identifier associated therewith, the identifier not being associated with the plurality of other sources of material. In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser comprises an interrogator, operationally coupled to the controller, for interrogating the identifier to determine whether the source of material is a specific source of material. An actuation mechanism is inhibited from causing the dispensing of the material if the interrogator does not detect the specific source of material. In preferred embodiments, the interrogator may be a sensor or a reader, and the identifier may be a magnet, a barcode, or an RFID transponder that is compatible with the specific interrogator chosen.

A method and system communicates payload data over a plurality of low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) channels (50). First device (100) transmits the payload data and synchronization information to the second device (150) over N LVDS channels (50), along with a word clock synchronized to the payload data. The second device generates M LVDS receive clocks from the word clock, each having a same frequency that is P times a frequency of the word clock, and each having a different phase. Each of N LVDS receivers (160) of the second device (150): correlates the synchronization data with a reference word using each of the M LVDS receive clocks to produce a correlation value for each of the M LVDS receive clocks; selects a selected LVDS receive clock producing a greatest correlation value; and receives the payload data for the corresponding LVDS channel (50) using the selected LVDS receive clock.

Systems and methods for assigning, delivering, and monitoring tasks are discussed that allow the supervisor to view a task type on which a agent below the supervisor in the hierarchy is working, the amount of time that the agent is taking to complete that task, and the target amount of time that are spent to complete such a task. The supervisor can also define the types of tasks that a particular agent can receive and be assigned. This mechanism would allow the supervisor to dynamically manage resources, enabling the supervisor to assign additional resources to short-term anomalies efficiently. In other words, the system allows supervisors to assign tasks to their agent based on agents known skill sets and the skills required to complete the task.

A column driver system and method for driving a plurality of column drivers in an active matrix display. The system comprises: a register in each column driver for holding a pixel value; a system that generates a shared ramp signal for the plurality of column drivers; a system that samples the shared ramp signal for each possible pixel value; and a load characteristic correction system that adaptively adjusts the shared ramp signal in anticipation of a load error associated with at least one pixel value. The load characteristic correction system comprises: a data collection system that collects pixel data for each of the plurality of column drivers and determines a number of occurrences of all possible pixel values; a load analysis system that identifies error conditions based on the number of occurrences; and a signal modification system that determines a correction to the ramp signal when an error condition is identified.
