Abstract: A mobile phone has a display with a touch screen. The device has a browser and is capable of retrieving a Web page from the Internet. The page is first displayed in its entirety. The user can recognize the page's general lay-out and presence of hyperlinks. When the user touches a particular location on the touch screen that corresponds to a portion of the page's image, the portion gets displayed so as to fill the display's area. Thus, the user can browse the Web with a display of limited size.

Abstract: A graphics system stores graphics data in a dynamic-random-access memory (DRAM) and in a faster static random-access memory (SRAM). A refresh controller reads pixel data from a frame buffer that is usually in the faster SRAM, while one or more video overlay engines read graphics objects from the DRAM. However, large frame buffers may be partially stored in the DRAM. Some of the graphics data read by the video overlay engine may reside in the SRAM. A dual-layer arbiter receives requests from the refresh controller and the overlay engines for access to the SRAM and DRAM. When two requestors request the same memory device, the dual-layer arbiter arbitrates access. However, often the requests are to different memory devices and the dual-layer arbiter can pass the requests through without delay, since separate buses to the DRAM and SRAM can be used simultaneously.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide reserved bandwidth and QOS/COS virtual circuit connections in a network using both conventional and novel reservation protocols and frame formats. An apparatus according to the invention includes an enterprise control point that communicates with switches via a reserved signaling channel. The switches have been upgraded or replaced to include enhanced functionality. The enhanced switches detect packets that include requests for reserved connections according to existing reservation protocols such as RSVP and IEEE 802.1P/Q. Such detected packets are forwarded to the enterprise control point for processing via a reserved signaling channel. The enterprise control point identifies a path within the network that can satisfy the requested QOS/COS and reserves the requested resources all along the path from beginning to end.

Abstract: A method of determining an ischemic event includes the steps of: monitoring and storing an initial electrocardiogram vector signal (x, y, z) of a known non-ischemic condition over the QRS, ST and T wave intervals; calculating and storing a J-point of the vector signal and a maximum magnitude of a signal level over the T wave interval; monitoring a subsequent electrocardiogram vector signal over the QRS, ST and T wave intervals; measuring and storing the magnitude (Mag.) of the vector difference between a subsequent vector signal and the initial vector signal; measuring and storing the angle (Ang.

Abstract: A method of speech encoding comprises generating a first synthesized speech signal from a first excitation signal, weighting the first synthesized speech signal using a first error weighting filter to generate a first weighted speech signal, generating a second synthesized speech signal from a second excitation signal, weighting the second synthesized speech signal using a second error weighting filter to generate a second weighted speech signal, and generating an error signal using the first weighted speech signal and the second weighted speech signal, wherein the first error weighting filter is different from the second error weighting filter. The method may further generate the error signal by weighting the speech signal using a third error weighting filter to generate a third weighted speech signal, and subtracting the first weighted speech signal and the second weighted speech signal from the third weighted speech signal to generate the error signal.

Abstract: A technique for synchronizing databases in which different techniques are used for storing a recurring event. A database in which the recurring event is, for example, stored as a single recurring record can be synchronized with a database in which the same recurring event is stored as a series of individual records. The individual records are processed to form a synthetic recurring record representing the set of individual records, and synchronization decisions are based on a comparison of the synthetic record to the recurring record of the other database. Following synchronization, the synthetic record can be “fanned” back into the individual records to update the database containing individual records, and the updated recurring record can be written back to the other database. In this way, the invention avoids the problems encountered with prior methods, in which synchronization resulted in a recurring record being transformed into a series of individual records.

Abstract: Headgear comprising a crown portion, a visor portion, and a netting secured to the visor portion. The crown portion is preferably separably secured to the visor portion. Various means of separably securing the crown portion to the visor portion are used including any of Velcro®, or other hook and loop fastening material, buttons, snaps, elastic, or the like. Various means of securing the netting to the visor portion are also used including any of Velcro® or other hook and loop fastening material, buttons, snaps, thread, or the like. The headgear may also omit the crown portion to provide only the visor portion with the netting secured thereto. In any case, a bill of the visor portion may be fitted between a door frame and an edge of the door and the frame, in order to render the netting available for tossing articles into the netting.

Abstract: A personal protection system is provided for creating a sterile barrier between a user and an external environment. The personal protection system includes a head unit having a ventilation unit with a fan for distributing air to the user. The personal protection system also provides a protective covering draped over the head unit. The protective covering includes a flaccid shroud and a transparent face shield mounted to the flaccid shroud. The face shield is mounted to the head unit using a plurality of mounting elements. The face shield is mounted such that a top portion of the face shield has a larger radius of curvature when mounted that a bottom portion of the face shield. This reduces the glare directed toward the user. A control panel for the ventilation unit is also provided on a chin bar of the head unit for easy access by the user.
