| 6373305 | Digital receive phase lock loop with residual phase error and cumulative phase error correction A digital PLL's stability and immunity to jitter are improved by deriving the correction to the state machine count from an average over several computations of the phase error, and re-initializing the computation of the phase error to the residual error ... | 04/16/2002 |
| 6356970 | Interrupt request control module with a DSP interrupt vector generator In a system having an DSP, an ASIC and a memory, in which the ASIC generates a number of different competing interrupts for the DSP to service, the ASIC has an interrupt request control module which automatically provides the DSP with a vector pointing to... | 03/12/2002 |
| 6336108 | Speech recognition with mixtures of bayesian networks The invention performs speech recognition using an array of mixtures of Bayesian networks. A mixture of Bayesian networks (MBN) consists of plural hypothesis-specific Bayesian networks (HSBNs) having possibly hidden and observed variables. A common extern... | 01/01/2002 |
| 6212502 | Modeling and projecting emotion and personality from a computer user interface The invention is embodied in a computer user interface including an observer capable of observing user behavior, an agent capable of conveying emotion and personality by exhibiting corresponding behavior to a user, and a network linking user behavior obse... | 04/03/2001 |
| 6198852 | View synthesis from plural images using a trifocal tensor data structure in a multi-view parallax geometry The invention is embodied in a process for synthesizing a new image representing a new viewpoint of a scene from at least two existing images of the scene taken from different respective viewspoints. The process begins by choosing a planar surface visible... | 03/06/2001 |
| 6185534 | Modeling emotion and personality in a computer user interface The invention is embodied in a computer user interface including an observer capable of observing user behavior, an agent capable of conveying emotion and personality by exhibiting corresponding behavior to a user, and a network linking user behavior obse... | 02/06/2001 |
| 6097854 | Image mosaic construction system and apparatus with patch-based alignment, global block adjustment and pair-wise motion-based local warping The system of the invention aligns a set plural overlapping images useful in constructing a mosaic by performing patch-based alignment of the set of overlapping images to produce a set of warped images, performing block adjustment of the set of warped ima... | 08/01/2000 |
| 6044181 | Focal length estimation method and apparatus for construction of panoramic mosaic images The focal length estimation method and apparatus claimed in this application aligns plural overlapping images with one another for constructing an image mosaic.
