Abstract: Systems and techniques to realize pointing and tracking applications with CMOS imaging devices. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: sampling multiple rows and multiple columns of an active pixel sensor array into a memory array (e.g., an on-chip memory array), and reading out the multiple rows and multiple columns sampled in the memory array to provide image data with reduced motion artifact. Various operation modes may be provided, including TDS, CDS, CQS, a tracking mode to read out multiple windows, and/or a mode employing a sample-first-read-later readout scheme. The tracking mode can take advantage of a diagonal switch array. The diagonal switch array, the active pixel sensor array and the memory array can be integrated onto a single imager chip with a controller. This imager device can be part of a larger imaging system for both space-based applications and terrestrial applications.

Abstract: A system for processing a point cloud in a simulated three-dimensional space includes an application server (1), client computers (3), and a database (5). The application server includes: a data acquiring module (10) for acquiring from the database point cloud data on an object measured by a measurement apparatus; a point cloud editing module (12) for editing the point cloud data to make the point cloud smooth and regular, and displaying different portions of the point cloud by using different colors; and a view changing device (11). The view changing device includes a position changing module (110) and a view changing module (111). The position changing module is used for changing a position of the point cloud in the three-dimensional space. The view changing module is used for changing a view to the point cloud in the three-dimensional space. A related method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide encoding a novel immunoglobulin superfamily member named GP354 is provided. GP354 has a predicted single membrane spanning domain and five immunoglobulin (Ig) domains in the extracellular portion of the protein. The protein structure and tissue distribution of GP354 indicate that it plays a role in cell-cell recognition, binding, signaling and adhesion events in the pancreas and central nervous system (CNS). Provided by the invention are isolated GP354 related polynucleotides and polypeptides, vectors, and host cells comprising any of the above, antibodies directed to GP354, cells which produce such antibodies, and related diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide encoding a novel immunoglobulin superfamily member named PanCAM (also named GP354) is provided. PanCAM has a predicted single membrane spanning domain and five immunoglobulin (Ig) domains in the extracellular portion of the protein. The protein structure and tissue distribution of PanCAM indicate that it plays a role in cell-cell recognition, binding, signaling and adhesion events in the pancreas (especially the beta islets), the pituitary gland, and the central nervous system (CNS). Provided by the invention are isolated PanCAM related polynucleotides and polypeptides, vectors, and host cells comprising any of the above, antibodies directed to PanCAM, cells which produce such antibodies, and related diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

Abstract: A circuit for reading out a signal from an infrared detector includes a current-mode background-signal subtracting circuit having a current memory which can be enabled to sample and store a dark level signal from the infrared detector during a calibration phase. The signal stored by the current memory is subtracted from a signal received from the infrared detector during an imaging phase. The circuit also includes a buffered direct injection input circuit and a differential voltage readout section. By performing most of the background signal estimation and subtraction in a current mode, a low gain can be provided by the buffered direct injection input circuit to keep the gain of the background signal relatively small, while a higher gain is provided by the differential voltage readout circuit. An array of such readout circuits can be used in an imager having an array of infrared detectors. The readout circuits can provide a high effective handling capacity.
