20090046764 | Spread carrier self correcting codes - A transmitter, receiver and communication technique. The transmitter is adapted to interleave a first pseudo-noise sequence with a second pseudo-noise sequence to provide a third pseudo-noise sequence. The third sequence is transmitted and then received by the inventive receiver. The first and second sequences are chosen so that an XOR of the two sequences produces a third, known-valid pseudo-noise sequence. The receiver includes an arrangement for receiving and correlating the third pseudo-noise sequence to provide a measure of a frequency of the transmitted signal. The receiver further includes an arrangement for downconverting and filtering the received signal to provide a filtered complex signal. A complex multiplier is included for effecting a complex multiplication of the filtered complex signal with a delayed version of the filtered complex signal to provide a product. The delayed version of the filtered signal is delayed by a chip period. A correlator is included for correlating the product to provide the measure of frequency. The first sequence or the second sequence is a reference signal that is embedded within the information-bearing signal to aid the receiver in detection. | 02-19-2009 |

20160098820 | SYSTEM FOR ROBUST DENOISING OF IMAGES - The invention produces a higher quality image from a rendering system based on a relationship between the output of a rendering system and the parameters used to compute them. We propose a method that robustly combines color and feature buffers to denoise Monte Carlo renderings. On one hand, feature buffers, such as per pixel normals, textures, or depth, are effective in determining denoising filters because features are highly correlated with rendered images. Filters based solely on features, however, are prone to blurring image details that are not well represented by the features. On the other hand, color buffers represent all details, but they may be less effective to determine filters because they are contaminated by the noise that is supposed to be removed. We propose to obtain filters using a combination of color and feature buffers in an NL-means and cross-bilateral filtering framework. We determine a robust weighting of colors and features using a SURE-based error estimate. We show significant improvements in subjective and quantitative errors compared to the previous state-of-the-art. We also demonstrate adaptive sampling and space-time filtering for animations. | 04-07-2016 |

20110155024 | Collapsable travel tray - A fold-up platform, which can function as a tray table, is mounted to the back of the front seat in any transportation vehicle and is self-suspending. The portable unit is suspended by first being attached to each support post of the front seat head rest and then hooked to the bottom of the seat frame at a point above the seat adjustment tracts on both the left and the right side with hooks attached to straps which are then pulled snug on the back of a seat by using tension devices on the straps. The mounting straps are reinforced with a mounting skeleton frame along the straps with fabric stitched to the frame and straps to keep the structure from twisting. The tray platform is made in two pieces so that it can be folded and then rotated into its storage position when not in use. The platform tray is made in two pieces by using a stiff flat material that is then covered with a soft padding material and enclosed in fabric. The two pieces are then hinged and fastened together along one edge to form the tray that is stiff and strong when in use yet collapsible under strong forces. This unit is then attached to the skeleton frame and support straps along one edge so as to be able to rotate to a horizontal or vertical position. One end of flexible material is then attached to the right of the tray at a position where the two stiff pieces of the tray meet. The other end of the material is attached to the frame and strapping above the tray and on the top edge of the frame in such a manner as to suspend and support the tray in a horizontal position. The same suspension is found on the left side. The tray can then be stored by folding the front stiff portion of the tray forward and down over the back stiff portion of the tray and then rotating the folded tray to a vertical position where it is attached to the frame with a locking device. When in the this position the tray is stored out of the way for easy access to the rear seats, when unclipped and folded out and down the tray is available for platform use while the two piece design makes it easily collapsible in an emergency situation. | 06-30-2011 |
