摘要： An obstacle detecting apparatus is disclosed, with which obstacles can be reliably detected so that a self-controlled robot or vehicle can drive safely. The apparatus comprises a first section having a distance sensor, for measuring the distance of each measurement point of objects existing in a visual field of the distance sensor and obtaining a three-dimensional coordinate value for each measurement point, so as to generate a distance image; a second section for projecting each measurement point of the objects onto at least one of predetermined horizontal and vertical planes, where each plane is divided into grid cells, and the resolution of the divided grid cells is lower than the measurement resolution of the distance sensor; and calculating the number of the measurement points projected onto each grid cell in the relevant plane, and generating a three-dimensional histogram indicating the distribution of the measurement points in the grid cells, a third section for converting the histogram to binary data by comparing the histogram with a predetermined threshold value; and a fourth section for extracting one or more obstacles by performing a clustering operation on the binary data, and generating an obstacle map by which the positional relationship between the distance sensor and each obstacle is determined.

摘要： The present invention relates to the field of information processing by digital computers and, more particularly, to a method and system, in an electronic spreadsheet, for easily swapping the protection mode of a cell between a protected mode and an unprotected mode, while preserving the mathematical formulas used in the protected mode The electronic spreadsheet includes a cell content manager with an interface for handling the content of user specified cells according to the read-only, protected mode where a cell is usually filled by a formula, and the read-write, unprotected mode with a free update of the cell by the spreadsheet user. Preferred display methodology is also described for representing the current mode of a given cell.

摘要： System and method for implementing selectively index enabled multi-column lists in a graphical user interface for a computer system. The graphical user interface contains a table of entries organized by columns. The columns are displayed vertically adjacent to one another. A user selectable vertical line (the divider line) can be moved from an extreme left column position to a position between adjacent columns. When a column is between the divider line and the extreme left column position, the column becomes index enabled. A single column (e.g., the left most column) or multiple columns can be index enabled simultaneously. A column can be positioned between the divider line and the extreme left column position by column reordering, e.g., leaving the divider line in a fixed position and dragging and dropping the column from a position right of the divider line. By making a column index enabled, an index of the items of the column is made and when indexed, every unique column item is represented only once in the column by an index item. A user selectable two position representation (e.g., a triangle, arrow, etc.) can be used to open (expand) or close the index item. When closed, all information contained within the index item is collapsed in the user interface. When expanded, this information can be displayed in the user interface. The present invention advantageously provides advantages of tree-views (e.g., the ease of searching through data in a hierarchical format) while also offering advantages of multi-column list displays (e.g., volume of information presentation).

摘要翻译： 用于在用于计算机系统的图形用户界面中实施选择性地启用索引的多列列表的系统和方法。 图形用户界面包含由列组织的条目表。 列彼此垂直显示。 用户可选择的垂直线（分隔线）可以从最左侧列位置移动到相邻列之间的位置。 当一列位于分隔线和最左列位置之间时，列变为启用索引。 单列（例如最左列）或多列可以同时索引。 列可以通过列重排序而定位在分隔线和最左列位置之间，例如使分隔线保持在固定位置，并且从分隔线右侧的位置拖拽列。 通过使列索引启用，列的项目的索引被创建，并且在索引时，每个唯一的列项目在列中仅由索引项目表示一次。 可以使用用户可选择的两个位置表示（例如，三角形，箭头等）来打开（扩展）或关闭索引项。 关闭时，索引项中包含的所有信息都将在用户界面中折叠。 扩展后，该信息可以显示在用户界面中。 本发明有利地提供树视图的优点（例如，以分层格式搜索数据的容易性），同时还提供多列列表显示（例如，信息量呈现）的优点。

摘要： An image reducing device comprises a simple-averaging device that calculates a simple average of data of pixels of each simple-averaging area of original image data to acquire a pixel of middle image data, and a weighted-averaging device that multiplies data of pixels of the middle image data that are adjacent to a pixel of reduced image data by weight coefficients according to positions of the pixel of the reduced image data and the pixels of the middle image data to acquire the pixel of the reduce image data. In this method, the weighted-averaging is performed after the number of pixels are reduced by the simple-averaging, and this can obtain the reduced image of high quality without overloading the software and hardware. In addition, the edging can be easily performed at the same time as the weighted-averaging.

摘要： In a device and system which perform processing (displaying and outputting) of image data, the amount of data transferred between a memory holding the image data and a processor processing the image data is limited, thereby a great amount of data can be processed at high speed.

摘要： Notification of an executing object becoming idle is provided in a multitasking environment. As the object executes, a user can interface with a second object. When the executing object becomes accessible, a buoy icon object is displayed on the computer screen. The buoy icon has the name of the accessible object as well as a pointer line extending from the buoy icon to the accessible object. The buoy icon provides notification that the accessible object execution is complete or is ready to receive a user input. The user can either remove the buoy icon from the screen or select the buoy icon object to focused the accessible object. The newly focused accessible object can then be used. The buoy icon notification can be enabled or disabled on an object-by-object basis.
