Assignee:

Magic Lantern, LLC - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

G03B 21/00

US Classification:

353 98, 353 31, 353 94, 353122, 3591991, 3592231, 359871, 359877

Abstract:

The power and response curves of one or more beams or primaries of beams of a laser projection system illuminating an image on a viewing surface are controlled to desired characteristics during exhibition by monitoring the scanning beams in real time by using at least part of the horizontal blanking time during the scanning of a motion or still image to project a test pattern with one or more of the beams onto a sensor or sensors. The system and method permits real-time balancing and maintenance of the response curves and power levels of each of the beams, and of primary beams of combined beams, to desired targets so as to produce a display field without artifacts and at desired brightness on the viewing surface.

Assignee:

Computer Concepts Corporation - Lenexa KS

International Classification:

G10L 500

US Classification:

395 2

Abstract:

A broadcast digital sound processing system includes an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus compatible personal computer with a hard disk drive and a sound processor board installed in an expansion slot of the computer. The board includes a stereo input, analog to digital converter (ADC) and a stereo set of digital to analog converters (DAC's) interfaced to a digital signal processor (DSP) chip. A stereophonic audio signal is converted to digital data by the ADC and communicated to the computer by the DSP chip through a two port record first-in/first-out (FIFO) buffer for storage on the disk. A program is played back by communicating a program data file through a two port playback FIFO buffer to the DSP and from thee to the DAC's for reconstruction to a stereo set of analog signals. The reconstructed audio signals may then be used as a modulating signal for radio broadcasting.

Appl. No.:

7/624746

Inventors:

Gordon L. Elliott - Kansas City MO

Assignee:

Biomedical Systems Corporation - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

G06F 1500
A61B 504

US Classification:

36441306

Abstract:

A system used by a technician for evaluating a Holter ECG tape having a signal representing a series of waveforms thereon and for generating a report reflecting the evaluation. A tape reader generates from the ECG tape an analog signal representative of the ECG waveforms recorded on the tape. An A/D converter converts the analog signal into a digital signal. A computer including a data bus, a memory, a processor controls the operation of the system. A display displays waveforms representing the ECG. A storage device is connected to the data bus. A direct memory access device moves the digital signals from the converter to the memory for storing the digital signal in the storage device. The converter provides at least a 12 bit a digital signal corresponding to the analog signal and includes means for converting the 12 bit digital signal to an 8 bit digital signal.
