  • Publication number: 20110080959
    Abstract: A video data processing apparatus is provided comprising processing circuitry for performing video processing operations requiring access to video reference frames, and a memory management unit configured to translate virtual addresses into physical addresses. Translation circuitry is provided responsive to a memory access request for reference frame pixel data issued by the processing circuitry to perform a translation process on video reference frame information such that the set of input values for at least one hash function in the memory management unit comprises video reference frame identifier bits contained with the video reference frame information. This approach has been found to reduce the frequency of aliasing in the memory management unit when retrieving video reference frames.

  • Publication number: 20110013699
    Abstract: A video processing apparatus and method are provided, the video processing apparatus comprising first stage video processing circuitry and second stage video processing circuitry. The first stage video processing circuitry receives input video data and performs one or more processing operations on the input video data to generate an intermediate representation of the input video data. The intermediate representation comprises first and second separate data portions, with the first data portion containing transient data derived from the input video data and the second data portion containing long term data derived from the input video data. Transient data is only required for processing of a single video frame, whilst the long term data is required for processing of at least two video frames.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (1) for conveying of sheets (2a, b), comprising upper and lower receiving rolls (3, 4), an upper belt element (5) and a receiving surface (6). The belt element (5) extends in a region above the receiving surface (6). The sheets (2a, b) are conveyed in a substantially horizontal direction of movement (7) towards the receiving rolls (3, 4), which receiving rolls (3, 4) during rotation move the sheets (2a, b) one after another between and past the receiving rolls (3, 4), during which the respective sheet (2a, b), after passing between and past the receiving rolls (3, 4), are situated between said receiving surface (6) and upper belt element (5). The sheets (2a , b) between the upper belt element (5) and the receiving surface (6) are placed on one another such that a rear edge (8) of a sheet (2a) passing through and between the receiving rolls (3, 4) is overlapped by a front edge (9) of a following sheet (2b).

  • Patent number: 7751642
    Abstract: An image processing method comprises receiving a raw color image as produced by an image sensor. A color image having a plurality of pixels is generated by processing raw image data from said raw color image, wherein pixels for which color values are absent in said raw image data are assigned color values derived from present color values in said raw image data. A sharpening term is generated by processing raw image data from said raw color image. Then, an improved color image is produced by combining said color image with said sharpening term. The raw color image may be a Bayer image, and the image processing method may be implemented in a cost and power efficient integrated circuit using limited memory.

  • Patent number: 6976815
    Abstract: A milling cutter includes a body having three cutting edges formed by the body. An end of the body situated opposite the cutting edges defines a fastening end of the milling cutter. Each cutting edge extends from an outer periphery of the body substantially to a center rotational axis of the body along a substantially convexly curved path. Radially outer and radially inner ends of each cutting edge are situated axially rearwardly of an axially foremost point of the cutting edge. Each cutting edge lies on a respective imaginary sphere having a radius which has a center which that is spaced from the cutting edge in a direction toward the fastening end and spaced radially from the center axis.

  • Publication number: 20020048404
    Abstract: A system and a corresponding method for determining a spatial relationship between a surface having a predetermined pattern and an apparatus are disclosed. A portion of the surface may be imaged and compared with the predetermined pattern. The comparison produces at least one reference measurement that may be used to determine a spatial relationship expressed in at least parameters that define an orientation of the surface. By using knowledge of the predetermined pattern together with an algebraic model of the image formation by the apparatus, a numerical adaptation can be performed. Parameters obtained from the adaptation can then be used to calculate the spatial relationship between the apparatus and the surface in terms of, for example, a distance between the apparatus and the surface or an angle between the surface and an axis extending through the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20020004699
    Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the present invention may include a surface for guiding a vehicle in an operating area. The surface may include a position-coding pattern having an arbitrary subset of a predetermined size. The subset may identify a unique position in the operating area. The vehicle may then determine its absolute position within the operating area by recording an image of the arbitrary subset on the surface. In addition, systems and methods consistent with the present invention may also include a self-guided vehicle for operation on a surface. A control means may control the movement of the vehicle. An image sensor may record an image of the surface having a position-coding pattern. The control means may then convert the recorded position-coding pattern into a position of the vehicle and then control the movement of the vehicle in response to the vehicle position.

  • Patent number: 4819184
    Abstract: An industrial robot has a position controller for each one of the axes of the robot and a computer for control of the robot. The computer continuously determines, with the aid of a mathematical model set up in advance, in dependence on the robot configuration and load in question, the mass moment of inertia of the axes, the coupled mass moment of inertia, and the moment caused by gravity. From the relationships between acceleration/deceleration and the drive motor torque for the different axes, the maximum available acceleration/deceleration for the axis is determined while assuming that maximum motor torque prevails for each axis. For each axis this value is compared with the maximum acceleration/deceleration value that may be allowed from the point of view of stability. On the basis of the lower of these values, optimum gain is determined and set in the position controller and/or a path planning parameter.

  • Patent number: 4295113
    Abstract: In a transformer or a reactor having at least one winding of foil-formed electrical conductor material, a magnetic-flux-controlling spirally-wound sheet of highly permeable ferro-magnetic material is arranged axially outside each end of the winding. The ends of the sheet are galvanically connected to the foil winding. By division of the magnetic material in the sheet, a high resistance in the longitudinal direction of the sheet, and thus lower losses, are obtained.

  • Patent number: 4259654
    Abstract: Disclosed are improved constructions for power transformers and reactors having windings of tape-formed conductor material which tend to reduce additional losses in the windings. In the improved construction for a power transformer or reactor comprising a core containing magnetic material and having legs and a yoke and comprising windings including a tape-formed conductor material arranged concentrically around the core legs, the innermost of the windings has a first portion located nearest the core leg which has an axial length greater than the length of the portion of the winding located radially outside said first portion. The first portion thereby forms a cylindrical shield for controlling the magnetic leakage flux appearing outside the ends of the winding.
