Abstract: An electric junction box assembly configured to store an electric component is provided. The electric junction box assembly includes a corrugated tube configured to hold a wire for supply power. The electric junction box assembly includes a junction box having an outer wall and a bottom wall. The outer wall includes an outer opening for receiving the corrugated tube. The junction box includes a plurality of inner walls. Each of the inner walls is spaced apart from each other so as to form an inner chamber and each inner wall further including an inner opening configured to receive the corrugated tube. Each inner chamber includes a drain hole so as to allow fluids to escape and prevent the electric components from being damaged by water or humidity.

Abstract: A method of forming an electrode includes casting a molten metal in a mold to form an electrode with a header portion and a blade portion. The blade portion of the electrode is then rolled after it has been cast. The blade portion may be rolled into at least two different thicknesses. In one embodiment the metal is lead or lead alloy and the method relates to the forming of a lead or lead alloy anode.

Abstract: At least a method and a system are described for providing frame rate conversion using parallax information. In a representative embodiment, the method comprises receiving a frame of stereoscopic video. The stereoscopic video comprises frames for displaying to a left eye and to a right eye. The method comprises computing displacements for a plurality of groups of pixels, wherein each of the groups corresponds to an object of a plurality of objects. The method further comprises using the plurality of displacements to position the plurality of groups within an interpolated frame.

Abstract: In a information distribution system, a control channel modem that provides independent communications channels for bi-directional message traffic between a service provider and a set-top terminal located within a subscriber's home. The modem transmits messages, control information and status information between the service provider and the subscriber's set-top terminal using an independent channel (downstream path) that is different from the channel (upstream path) used for sending requested information such as movies from the service provider to the subscriber's home.

Abstract: A packet encoder includes various sources of data, a state machine and additional circuitry. The state machine provides an S-bit output signal. N of the output bits of the state machine, (N<S), are coupled to directly control a multiplexer without an intervening state decoder. The multiplexer combines data from the various sources into a packet signal.
