A published diagram is generated that includes a diagram representation defined by the server-legible definition. Upon a request for the published diagram, the external data is refreshed and the diagram definition is updated. The equations are recalculated to generate new element attributes. The diagram representation is then updated with the new attributes and returned for display by a client Web browser.

The reflections are in turn refocused by a reflect array at the horn aperture. The reflect array is electronically configured to scan the focal point throughout the scan volume in a systematic way. Knowledge of the horn pattern and the scan strategy allows the system to compute the geometry associated with each volume element. Amplitude and phase variations between the object and the surrounding volume and the computed geometry are used to estimate the relative permittivity and thus facilitate categorization of the object using a database of material relative permittivities.	05-05-2011

20110044546	Image Reconstruction From Limited or Incomplete Data - A system and method are provided for reconstructing images from limited or incomplete data, such as few view data or limited angle data or truncated data (including exterior and interior data) generated from divergent beams. In one aspect of the invention, the method and apparatus iteratively constrains the variation of an estimated image in order to reconstruct the image. As one example, a divergent beam maybe used to generate data (“actual data”). As discussed above, the actual data may be less than sufficient to exactly reconstruct the image by conventional techniques, such as FBP. In order to reconstruct an image, a first estimated image may be generated. Estimated data may be generated from the first estimated image, and compared with the actual data. The comparison of the estimated data with the actual data may include determining a difference between the estimated and actual data. The comparison may then be used to generate a new estimated image. For example, the first estimated image may be combined with an image generated from the difference data to generate a new estimated image. In order to generate the image for the next iteration, the variation of the new estimated image may be constrained. For example, the variation of the new estimated image may be at least partly constrained in order to lessen or reducing the total variation of the image.	02-24-2011

20130016898	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOW-BANDWIDTH CONTENT-PRESER VING ENCODING OF STEREOSCOPIC 3D IMAGESAANM Tchoukaleysky; EmilAACI TorontoAACO CAAAGP Tchoukaleysky; Emil Toronto CA - A method and apparatus are described including accepting a first and a second stereoscopic eye frame line image, determining a coarse image shift between the first stereoscopic eye frame line image and the second stereoscopic eye frame line image, determining a fine image shift responsive to the coarse image shift, forwarding one of the first stereoscopic eye frame line image and the second stereoscopic eye frame line image and forwarding data corresponding to the fine image shift and metadata for further processing. Also described are a method and apparatus including receiving a transmitted first full stereoscopic eye frame line image, extracting a difference between a first stereoscopic eye frame line image and a second stereoscopic image, subtracting the extracted difference from the first stereoscopic eye frame line image, storing the second stereoscopic eye frame line image, extracting a shift line value from metadata included in the first full stereoscopic eye frame line image and shifting the second stereoscopic eye frame line image to its original position responsive to the shift value.	01-17-2013
20130038693	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING FRAME REPETITION IN STEREOSCOPIC 3D IMAGING - The present invention is directed towards enhancing the reproduction of three-dimensional dynamic scenes on digital light processing (DLP) and (liquid crystal display) LCD projectors and displays by adding optimal amount of motion blur to stimulate the covered eye to continue perceiving scene picture changes. Too much blur would bring smearing, but a lack of blur induces motion breaking.	02-14-2013
20130051769	DIGITAL CINEMA ANTI-PIRACY METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL PROJECTION SYSTEMS - Described herein are a method and apparatus including receiving digital video content, receiving an indication of an object of an image of the digital video content, receiving an indication of a grouping of the object in a frame sequence per second, swapping forward in time the grouping of the object with a time-following object to generate a first non-sequential frame of digital video content, performing an object assignment for the forward time swap, swapping backward in time the grouping of the object with a time-following object to generate a second non-sequential frame of digital video content and performing an object assignment for the backward time swap. The swapping backward in time and the swapping forward in time cause flicker in a recording of the digital video content.	02-28-2013

20130046737	SURVEY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A survey system of the present invention includes a mobile-computing device having a user interface for receiving survey data from respondents, a management server including a survey data validation module, and a terminal having a user interface. The mobile-computing device includes a survey application which encodes the survey data with at least one identifier and transmits the encoded survey data to the management server. The survey data validation feature of the management server analyzes the encoded survey data for validity and determines a probability of authenticity of the survey data. Statistical survey results, as well as the probability of authenticity of the survey data is presented to an end user through the user interface of the terminal.	02-21-2013

20090220725	CLOSING AND DAMPING DISKS - The invention refers to closing and damping disks, designed to fit gas compressor valves. According to this invention, the disks are made of both one wearing layer (d) with a thickness of 0.1-0.3 mm and one layer made of an antifriction material (e). They have a centering hole (b), some slots (a) marked out by some arc-shaped walls, at least one blocking hole (c) preventing disk's rotation inside the valve, so that the disk could be used on both sides in turn, and some beams (l) of equal strength resulting from the material remaining at the end of the slots (a).	09-03-2009

20130136055	SATELLITE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Methods and apparatus are disclosed to enable a fixed or a mobile ground based slave stations (VSAT: Very Small Aperture Terminal) in a communication network to receive TDM transmissions from and transmit TDMA burst transmissions to one or more ground-based gateway stations in a networking system that employs one or more geosynchronous satellites. Each gateway station transmits on one or more forward TDM channels to the slave stations; however, one primary gateway acts as the master station at any given time which transmits the network control messages to the slave stations (VSATs) that control their TDMA transmission behavior on the network.	05-30-2013
