摘要:
A system and methods for creating user definable windows for applying image processing, particularly useful in a post-production color correction equipment. The luminance values of a key image are captured in a key frame buffer. The key image is edited in a "paint" mode to enhance the luminance values or eliminate regions of the image, to define a region of interest. The key image is then converted to a 1-bit image. The 1-bit image is vectorized to derive a user defined window. The user defined window, comprising a closed polygon, is converted on a frame-by-frame basis to a bit map matte that is keyed with image processing such as color correction values. The user defined windows can be edited and stored and recalled for use in other frames. A user defined window for a first frame of a scene can be transformed or morphed into a user defined window for a final frame of a scene, with the system automatically interpolating between the beginning window and the ending window so that the window is automatically moved, resized, and changed in geometry during the succession of frames in a scene.

The present invention provides a high efficiency external counterpulsation apparatus having accurate and reliable timing of inflation and deflation and reduced temperature of the pressurized gas, such that the gas flow temperature of the balloons is near to room temperature. The external counterpulsation apparatus also has a new gas distribution device and devices for monitoring the blood pressure and oxygen levels in the blood of a patient for improving safety. The present invention further provides a method for controlling the external counterpulsation apparatus.

Apparatus including a first liquid crystal layer configured to receive at least a portion of an image and to provide the portion of the image across an angular viewing range; first substantially transparent electrodes positioned adjacent the first liquid crystal layer, the first electrodes being configured to have at least a first configuration in which a first subset of the electrodes provide electric fields across the first liquid crystal layer to form first transparent regions and first opaque regions in the first liquid crystal layer to provide a first angular viewing range, and a second configuration in which a second subset of the electrodes provide electric fields across the first liquid crystal layer to form second different transparent regions and second different opaque regions in the first liquid crystal layer to provide a second angular viewing range, having a different angular viewing range to the first angular viewing range.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for applying external counterpulsation to a patient, including detecting a blood-flow impedance signal, self-adaptive filter processing the detected blood-flow impedance signal, and adjusting inflation of an inflatable member based on the self-adaptive filter processing in order to optimize counterpulsation timing. A computer processes the signals and controls a fluid distribution device to distribute compressed fluid to a plurality of inflatable members based on said processed signals.
