  • Patent number: 6606086
    Abstract: An electronic graphic system comprises an image store for storing data defining an image, a stylus and touch tablet device for generating position data representing a sequence of positions including a first position, a brush store for storing data defining a drawing implement, and processor for processing data in the image store. Data is processed by reading patches of initial image data from the store at locations related to the position represented by the position data. An image value is determined as the value of a predetermined pixel in a patch of data at a location corresponding to the first position. Patches of image data are modified with the determined image value depending on the brush data.

  • Publication number: 20020178612
    Abstract: A shoe having a sole includes a molded, rubber outsole and a molded midsole disposed within the outsole. The midsole may be contoured or shaped to approximate the shape of the sole of a wearer's foot. An upper disposed around a last may have a base portion that will take the shape of the midsole. The upper is permanently secured to the outsole by a foxing that is cured by application of a vulcanization process to fuse to both the outsole and the upper.

  • Patent number: 6067073
    Abstract: An electronic graphic system comprises an image store for storing data defining an image, a brush store for storing data defining a drawing implement and a stylus and touch tablet for inputting position data and other data. A spatial filter is arranged to respond to the data from the stylus and touch tablet device to filter the brush data to produce brush data defining a drawing implement of a size depending on the data from the stylus and touch tablet device. The filtered brush data is used by a drawing processor to process data in the image store.

  • Patent number: 5986665
    Abstract: An electronic graphic system comprises an image store for storing data defining an initial image, an address generator for generating address data identifying multiple dot areas in the store, and a processor for processing the data in each dot area so that picture elements in the dot area are defined by data of a substantially uniform value. The processed data thus defines a multiplicity of picture elements that together form an image of multiple dot areas derived from the initial image data. The system can be applied to data defining a still image and to video data defining a moving image. When applied to video data the dot areas can be varied on a time basis.
