Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for managing an error correction mode at a first communications router. The first communication router transmits data packets to a second communications router and stores the first data packet in a local storage medium, When a delay inquiry message is received from the second communications router, the first communications router activates the error correction mode. When the error correction mode is activated, the first data packet is retransmitted to the second communications router and an error correction packet corresponding to the first data packet is also transmitted. When a back-to-normal message is received from the second communications router, the first communications router deactivates the error correction mode. The back-to-normal message indicates that the first communications router no longer needs to be in error correction mode.

Abstract: A method for use in the manufacture of a filtration article includes providing a porous, fluoropolymer membrane, and applying a force to at least a portion of a first side surface of the membrane to modify the first side surface. The applied force may have a non-normal directional component relative to the first side surface. The surface modification may increase the density of the modified surface and/or reduce the porosity of the modified surface. Particle retention capabilities are thereby enhanced across the modified surface while maintaining permeability across the volume of the membrane.

Abstract: An image display device includes: an interpolation phase generator that generates an interpolation phase on the basis of downsampling frame information representing a downsampling timing at which at least one frame image of the image signal is thinned, and an interpolation frame generator that generates an interpolation frame image corresponding to the interpolation phase. The interpolation phase generator generates the interpolation phase such that a phase distance between a first interpolation frame image from among a plurality of interpolation frame images within one period of downsampling periods, and a second interpolation frame image that follows the first interpolation frame image becomes equal to a phase distance between mutually adjacent interpolation frame images obtained when phase distances between a plurality of interpolation frame images are equalized within one period of the downsampling periods.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products provide a dynamically configurable 3D display utilizing a content receiver. The content receiver generates the 3D content with an offset that enables the images to be viewable in a plurality of 3D regions, where each 3D region and images therein are perceived as having a different degree of depth relative to other images within 3D regions. The user viewing the 3D content may interact with the 3D content through a sensor device communicatively coupled to the content receiver that senses user movements and transmits signals to the content receiver for taking some action in response to the user's movements, including moving the 3D content between various 3D regions. 3D content in a foreground 3D region may be partially transparent to enable viewing of underlying 3D content in a background 3D region. 3D content may include a 3D user interface enabling the user to enter selections.

Abstract: A motion blur correction device includes a motion blur correction section which performs motion blur correction processing on an intended video data, and a correction intensity judgment section which instructs the motion blur correction section to cancel the execution of the motion blur correction processing when the frame rate of the video data is equal to or less than a predetermined value. As a result, motion blur correction is prevented from being automatically performed when motion blur correction is not required.

Abstract: A digital television recorder to record television programs, having a recording section to record data onto a storage medium, a filter to identify from a received transport stream, data of a television program for recording, a timer to be set with a time and, at that time, to start the recording onto the storage medium, data of the television program received from the filter, and a cache to store data of the interactive services associated with the television programs and provided in the respective transport streams. The filter identifies data of interactive services associated with the television programs, the timer starts, at a predetermined interval before the time, acquisition of the data of interactive services and storing acquired data of interactive services in the cache, and the recording section records, immediately prior to starting recording the data of the television program, the content of the cache to the storage medium.

Abstract: A method for use in a digital frequency synthesizer, the method comprising phase to amplitude conversion of an output value of a phase accumulator in said synthesizer, said conversion being carried out as an approximation (y) of a phase value (x) which corresponds to said output amplitude value, the method being characterized in that the approximation comprises a combination of a linear interpolation value and a second order sinusoidal value, the second order sinusoidal value being used as an error term to correct for errors in the linear interpolation value.

Abstract: If a movie reproducing apparatus detects an error during reproduction of encoded movie data, based on management information that includes a recording position of an intra-picture coded picture included in the encoded movie data, the movie reproducing apparatus determines a position used when the error is recovered by searching for an intra-picture coded picture subsequent to a frame including data with the error as well as updates elapsed time information to be displayed based on a frame number of the searched intra-picture coded picture at the time the error is recovered.

Abstract: A method for deformable registration of 2 digital images includes providing a pair of digital images, including a fixed image and a moving image, extracting a set of edge images from each image of the pair of images, each edge set being extracted at a different resolution, selecting a pair of edge images with a lowest resolution, determining a mapping from edge points of the fixed image to edge points of moving image using a geodesic thin plate spline interpolation, applying the mapping to a next higher resolution edge point image of the moving image, selecting a pair of edge images at a next higher resolution, where a moving edge image is the moving edge image to which the mapping has been applied, repeating the steps at a next higher resolution for all edge images in the set of edge images, and applying the mapping to an entire moving image.
