Abstract: An interference cancelling receiver combines data from multiple paths after aligning to transmitter timing, and uses either an equalizer or a Rake receiver to compute symbol estimates. Interference estimates are generated from the symbol estimates, and multiple interference estimates are combined after re-aligning the interference estimates to receiver timing. At least two segments of symbol estimates are computed for each segment of interference cancelled data. Various techniques may be employed for controlling the latency and sequencing of these operations, and the subsystems within the canceller may use different processing clock speeds.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a technique for controlling the slew rate and number of transition segments used to move the LC drive voltage level from one voltage to another. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a polarization modulator in a polarization-based stereoscopic display device may comprise providing digital signals to each of a plurality of drive circuits to generate a drive voltage from each drive circuit, where the drive voltages drive the polarization modulator. Such an exemplary method may also include determining a time sequential list of transition specifications configured to provide discrete transitions in one or more of the drive voltages. Then, in such methods, the digital signals provided to each of the one or more drive circuits receiving a transition may be adjusted, in accordance with the time sequential list, thereby altering their drive voltages based on the transition specifications.

Abstract: A method is provided for receiving information in the form of a command sequence. The command sequence may include shutter timing information and at least one command from a set of four commands. The commands within the command sequence may indicate different functions and may depend on at least the relative timing location to one another, the quantity of each command in the command sequence and the order of the commands relative to one another. Additionally, at least one command of the set of four commands may be received after the function should occur. A receiver may receive a signal which may include at least the command sequence. Once the receiver has received the same command sequence a couple of times, an operating mode may be determined which may allow additional commands to be implied, even though the additional commands may not actually be received by the receiver.

Abstract: A method for shutter glass eyewear control provides for a command sequence having precise shutter timing and control information for opening and closing the left and right shutters of shutter glass eyewear. The infrared signal commands are offset from the corresponding shutter action to minimize interference while still allowing the eyewear to track changes in the timing of the infrared signal received from a display system. Command sequence encodings are provided for enhanced interference rejection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding or tagging a video frame provides a way to indicate, to a receiver, for example, whether the video content is 3-D content or 2-D content. A method and apparatus for decoding an encoded or tagged video frame provides a way, for a receiver, for example, to determine whether the video content is 3-D content or 2-D content. 3-D video data may be encoded by replacing lines of at least one video frame with a specific color or pattern. When a decoder detects the presence of the colored or patterned lines in an image frame, it may interpret them as an indicator that 3-D video data is present.

Abstract: A device for inserting a substantially square sheet of flexible material through a laparoscopic cannula into an abdominal cavity. The device is an elongate, generally cylindrical member having a proximal end and a distal end and a body portion therebetween. A pair of tines is rigidly affixed to the distal end of the body portion with a slot separating the tines. A handle is affixed to the proximal end of the body portion. The slot defined between the pair of tines is dimensioned to accommodate the sheet thickness therewithin. In a preferred use, the sheet of material is inserted between the tines with diagonal corners of the sheet within the slot. The free corners of the sheet are drawn together with one hand and the handle of the device is rotated to wrap the sheet around the exterior surface of the two tines.

Abstract: A mobile radio communication system is disclosed in which personality information for a radio can be modified in order to permit the radio to roam from one broadcast region to another. Since each broadcast region is serviced by a different gateway, the radios within that region use particular personality information in order to communication with it. When the radios roam from one region to another, the radios request new personality information relevant to the destination region. Each radio uses local identification data to uniquely identify the radio within the system. When the radio roams, the gateway provides the radio with new local identification data relevant to the destination region. The local identification data for each radio in a given region is mapped by the gateway in a memory such that available local identification data can be re-assigned to radios that roam into the gateway region.
