Utility
Method, apparatus and system for changing to which remote device a local device is in communication via a communication medium through use of interruption of the communication medium
2 Feb 21
A communication system includes: a transmitter configured to be responsive to a control request from a local device that facilitates toggling of the transmitter On and Off in a pattern of interruption to generate multiple consecutive On/Off bits having On/Off signals with a same pulse width that represents control information, the transmitter configured to transmit data via a communication medium at a first end thereof, the communication medium also having a second end; and, in response to the pattern of interruption, the transmitter is configured to interrupt the communication medium at the first end, each interrupting of the communication medium at the first end resulting in a detection of a loss of signal at the second end.

Utility
Decoding a Bayer-mask or like coded image
2 Feb 21
A Bayer-mask image is decoded by forming a decoded green array; calculating a slope at each pixel of the array, expressed as an angle; calculating an activity at each pixel; converting the slope angle and the activity into a complex number for each pixel, of modulus equal to the activity and argument equal to twice the slope angle; expressing said complex numbers in Cartesian coordinates to form a Cartesian slope signal and filtering the Cartesian slope signal with a linear spatial filter to derive a slope measure.
