Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a lightweight, recyclable, double-knit textile used to form a recyclable, apparel item having stretch properties. The double-knit textile utilizes a combination of yarns, including a recyclable, elastic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polymer yarn, in a knit construction where the technical face of the textile is formed form a non-elastic yarn such as a polyamide yarn, the technical back of the textile is formed the non-elastic yarn and the TPU polymer yarn in a plated relationship, and linking yarns that extend between the technical face and the technical back include the non-elastic yarn. The knit construction as described balances the need for opacity, optimal stretch features, support, and durability to an apparel item formed from the textile while still being lightweight.

Abstract: A system provides placement of components for an integrated circuit having a plurality of flip-flops. The system clusters the plurality of flip-flops into a plurality of clusters and relocates one or more of the flip-flops in response to overlapping placement locations. The clustering includes using a K-means algorithm to assign a flip-flop to a cluster while adding weight to each cluster based on its current size.

Abstract: A soft-start circuit composed of active components and passive components and a soft-start voltage regulator based on this soft-start circuit are disclosed. The soft-start voltage regulator is coupled to a generator, a battery and a starter. When the starter is started, the soft-start voltage regulator receives the voltage of the battery to generate a soft-start signal, enabling the generator to establish a voltage. Further, after the generator established the voltage, the soft-start voltage regulator is shut off and the soft-start signal is outputted.

Abstract: A reverse filter operates for adding noise n(x,y) to an output of a deteriorated model of a blurring function H(x,y) to output an observed model g(x,y). The blurring function inputs a true picture f(x,y) to output a deteriorated picture. The reverse filter recursively optimizes the blurring function H(x,y) so that the input picture signal will be coincident with the observed picture. In this manner, the reverse filter extracts a true picture signal. A corresponding point is estimated, based on a fluency theory, on the true input picture signal freed of noise contained in it by the reverse filter (20). The motion information of a picture is expressed in the form of a function. A plurality of signal spaces is selected by an encoder for compression (30) for the input picture signal. The picture information is expressed by a function from one selected signal space to another.

Abstract: For each of a plural number of pixels in a reference frame, a corresponding point estimation unit (2) estimates a corresponding point in each of a plural number of picture frames differing in time. A first gray scale value generation unit (3) finds the gray scale value of each pixel from the gray scale values of the neighboring pixels for each corresponding point in each picture frame estimated. A second gray scale value generation unit (4) approximates the gray level of a locus of corresponding points, by a fluency function, from the gray scale values of the corresponding points at each picture frame estimated to find each gray scale value of the corresponding point in the picture frame for interpolation from the above function. From the gray scale value of each corresponding point in the frame for interpolation, a third gray scale value generation unit (5) generates a gray scale value of each pixel in the picture frame for interpolation.
