Abstract: An interactive input system comprises computing structure; and an input device detecting at least one physical object carrying a recognizable pattern within a three-dimensional (3D) input space and providing output to the computing structure, wherein the computing structure processes the output of the input device to: recognize the pattern carried by the at least one physical object in the 3D input space; and modify an image presented on a display surface by applying a transition to digital content associated with the at least one physical object based on a detected state of the at least one physical object.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing data in a communications system includes generating a composite signal comprising a serial stream of data partitioned in one or more frames, and transmitting the composite signal to a receiver. Multiphase clock signals are generated. The composite signal received at the receiver is compared with each of the multiphase clock signals until either sustained coincidence therebetween is achieved or sustained non-coincidence is achieved, thereby synchronizing the receiver to bit boundaries in the composite signal and to one or more of the clock phase signals. One or more bit templates at the receiver is correlated with one or more corresponding bit templates in the composite signal received at the receiver to determine where frames start in the composite signal, thereby synchronizing the receiver to the one or more frames in the composite signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a set of wax parameter specifications that will produce candles with improved properties. Specifically, the present invention relates to a blend of waxes that produces container candles with surprising properties and eliminates or minimize the use of costly microwax, polymers or additives. More specifically, this invention relates to a blend for and method of producing container candles that demonstrates the improved properties of low shrinkage, little oil bleed, enhanced opaqueness and creamy appearance and enhanced fragrance retention.

Abstract: A method of synchronising data in a communications system (10) comprises the steps of: (a) Generating at transmitting means (20) a composite signal comprising a serial stream of data partitioned in one or more frames; (b) transmitting the composite signal through communicating means (50) to receiving means (30); (c) generating multiphase clock signals; (d) comparing the composite signal received at the receiving means with each of the multiphase clock signals until either sustained coincidence therebetween is achieved or sustained non-coincidence is achieved, thereby synchronising the receiving means to bit boundaries in the composite signal and to one or more of the clock phase signals; (e) correlating one or more bit templates at the receiving means with one or more corresponding bit templates in the composite signal received at the receiving means to determine where frames start in the composite signal, thereby synchronising the receiving means to the one or more frames in the composite signal.
