Abstract: A lighting device provides with a mechanism which rotates, oscillates or rolls a lighting unit, and includes a power source (1), a trigger (2), a lighting unit (3) and a motor (4), wherein the power source (1) supplies power to the lighting unit (3) and the motor (4) via the trigger (2). The lighting device further includes a control unit which is connected in parallel to the lighting device. By changing internal circuits of the control unit, a pins which connects to an energy storage element is set, therefore the lighting unit flashes in a predetermined sequence after interruption of power is resumed, and the lighting unit moves in a certain track, occurring a path in which position of light spots changed.

Abstract: A pin tumbler lock, operating between a locked position and a released position, comprising a first lock member having at least one first bore with a biasing device and a first pin deposing in the first bore, and a second lock member engaging with the first lock member, forming an interface surface with said first lock member. The second lock member has at least one second bore with a second pin disposed in the second bore, and is aligned with the first bore for receiving the first pin in the locked position. At least one pin is magnetized, and the corresponding second pin is magnetic permeable, such that, when the pins are mobilized by an external force, the magnetized pin remains attracted to the corresponding magnetic permeable pin. No open space between the pins is formed at the interface surface to release the lock members.

Abstract: A small transceiver device and antenna system has an insulating layer with first and second surfaces. A transmit loop element having transmit loop segments is formed on the first surface. The transmit loop segments are disposed in a transmit zigzag configuration. A receive loop element having receive loop segments is formed on the second surface. The receive loop segments are disposed in a receive zigzag configuration. Each receive loop segment in the receive zigzag configuration is skewed with respect to a closest transmit loop segment disposed in the transmit zigzag configuration. The transmit loop segments can be grouped in two or more transmit zigzag configurations, and the receive loop segments can be grouped in two or more receive zigzag configurations.

Abstract: A facility for disseminating homeland security information is described. The facility identifies a mobile device used by an addressee of a message containing homeland security information, and transmits this message to the identified mobile device.

Abstract: A machine readable storage media containing executable program instructions which when executed cause a digital processing system to seta plurality of operands and operators. A plurality of texture maps are sent to a processor for texture compositing. Operands are selected for a texture operation. A first logic is used wherein if the circulation of blend stages is equal to a number of blend stages, then a color saturation is performed, and a second logic that if the circulation number of blend stages does not equal the number of blend stages then at least one operand is selected for another texture compositing operation.

Abstract: A complementary wideband antenna includes a planar dipole formed of two dipole sections and a shorted patch antenna located between the dipole sections, the dipole sections being spaced above a ground plane. A variety of different feed probe designs can be used to excite the antenna. The complementary wideband antenna has electrical characteristics including low back radiation, low cross polarization, a symmetrical radiation pattern, and is stable in gain and radiation pattern shape over the frequency bandwidth.

Abstract: A method and system for routing intelligence information related to security. The security system provides rules that identify conditions and routing instructions that are to be applied to intelligence information. A security organization may create and modify rules to ensure the appropriate routing of intelligence information in a timely manner. The security system may receive intelligence information from various sources. Regardless of the form or source of intelligence information, the security system analyzes the intelligence information to determine whether any conditions of the rules are satisfied. When a condition of a rule is satisfied, the security system sends a notification of the intelligence information in accordance with the routing instructions for that rule. In this way, intelligence information can be automatically and quickly routed to the appropriate security personnel for further processing.

Abstract: A method and circuit are provided for color space conversion of Y (luminance) and UV (chrominance) components from a planar YUV 4:2:0 format to an interleaved, or packed YUV 4:2:2 format, and from an interleaved, or packed YUV 4:2:2 format to a planar YUV 4:2:0 format. The method for both conversions includes reading source data, interpolating the sampled YUV component values, and performing a pass to thereby write the converted YUV component values in three passes, one pass for all values of the respective YUV components.

Abstract: A display apparatus is suitable for displaying a photograph (4) in such a way as to confer a 3-D effect. The apparatus optionally using a transparent carrier (7) locates the photographs (4) as a concavely curved image using edgewise compressing channels (5). The 3-D effect is enhanced by the convex framing (2) of the photograph (4).
