Patent number: 11886107Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of projection, and in particular, relate to a projection method and a projection device. The projection method includes: acquiring a projection image and an environmental image when a screen picture is projected to a projection region, wherein the environmental image includes an image when a predetermined projection screen picture is projected to the projection region or an image when no screen picture is projected to the projection region; regulating an aperture based on the projection image and the environmental image, wherein the aperture is configured to control a light flux projected to the projection region. Therefore, by adjusting the light flux, impacts caused by the stray light may be mitigated, and a relationship between projection contrast and luminance may be better coordinated, such that the projection contrast and luminance are effectively balanced and hence projection quality is improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: IVIEW DISPLAYS (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LTD.Inventors: Yong Li, Zhiqiang Gao, Steve Yeung, Tak Yeung

Publication number: 20230276034Abstract: The present application relates to the technical field of digital projection and discloses a method and a system for adjusting projection dithering. The method includes follow steps: respectively setting a dithering parameter to at least two values within a preset value range, respectively acquiring projection images when the dithering parameter takes different values, calculating definition values of the projection images and obtaining a target dithering value according to the definition values of the projection images; and saving the target dithering value to an optical machine. In this way, the projection dither can be automatically adjusted to the optimal position according to the target dithering value, and the projection picture is more stable and clearer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Ziguang Zhou, Mingnei Ding, Tak Yeung, Steve Yeung, Zhiqiang Gao

Publication number: 20210095340Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for determining zygosity of a multiple-fetus pregnancy using a biological sample taken from the mother. The fetal and maternal DNA in the sample (e.g. plasma) can be analyzed for a particular chromosomal region to identify genetic differences in the fetuses. For example, a normalized parameter for the measure of a primary or secondary allele can show variances for different chromosomal regions when fetuses are dizygotic. Such a variance can be determined relative to an expected value if the fetuses were genetically identical. Statistical methods are provided for analyzing the variation of the normalized parameters to determine fetal DNA concentration and the maternal-fetal mixed genotype at various loci. Parental genotype and haplotype information can also be used to identify inheritance of different parental haplotypes to indicate genetic differences among the fetuses.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: Yuk-Ming Dennis Lo, Wai Kwun Rossa Chiu, Kwan Chee Chan, Tak Yeung Leung, Peiyong Jiang

Publication number: 20070084458Abstract: An improved valve system for use in Chinese wok ranges of the type that require valves to turn water and gas on and off. The improvement uses a valve coupling arrangement that operates the gas and water valves simultaneously. When the gas is turned off, the water is also turned off, and when the gas is turned on, the water is also turned on. Separate valve control devices operate to open and close off the gas and water lines, and the valve coupling arrangement is operative to open and close the two valve control devises simultaneously. Cooling water lines, provided to supply a flow of cooling water across the wok range top, are sectional, whereby cooling water runs to cool the wok range top only in the region where the wok range is being used.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2005Publication date: April 19, 2007Inventors: Kam Law, Tak Yeung

Patent number: 6182109Abstract: A method, system and product for dynamically managing a pool of execution units in a server system, the pool devoted to a communication process between client and server processes. A minimum and a maximum number of execution units in the communication process poolis established. The minimum number of execution units is the number necessary to support a typical client load. The maximum number of execution units is an upper bound to support a peak client load without overloading the server system. As client requests for service are received by the server system, a number of determinations are made. It is determined whether assigning an execution unit to the request would bring a current number of execution units in the communication process pool over the maximum number of execution units. If so, the client request is rejected.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1996Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mohan Sharma, Leo Yue Tak Yeung

Patent number: 5941951Abstract: A method of delivering data in an on-time manner across a communicating environment, such as multimedia data in a network or broadcast environment. The data is transmitted from a data pump at a revised transmission time which is a function of a base transmission time and a delay value. The delay value is calibrated by monitoring one or more processes between the data pump and an associated controller which receives requests from clients. The controller may include an application server which handles the requests, and a control server which processes commands from the application server and provides corresponding control functions to the data pump.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1997Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Norman Day, Lance Warren Russell, Donald Edwin Wood, Leo Yue Tak Yeung

Patent number: 5938733Abstract: An object oriented representation for sending network protocol requests between a first and a second process in a computer network. In an object oriented implementation of a protocol stack a network definition object is used for defining an interface to a communication endpoint for a client application and a network address object for defining the communication endpoint. The protocol stack is formed by layers of instances of a protocol interface class object for defining protocol interface for a protocol layer in the protocol stack and a protocol layer class object for defining the protocol layers in the stack. The network protocol requests are sent in an instance of one of a set of network operation classes each of which correspond to a method in the protocol interface class. The client requests are wrapped in the network operation object which contains all the necessary information so the request can be presented to the appropriate protocol layer object in the protocol stack.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1996Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel Dean Heimsoth, Gary Randall Horn, Mohan Sharma, Laurie Beth Turner, Leo Yue Tak Yeung
