A movable part 10 of a display orientation adjustment apparatus H is attached to a rear surface of a display, and pivotably supported by a base 20, and its pivotal motion is restricted by a stopper 50 within a permissible range. If the movable part 10 is pivoted beyond the restricted range by a pivoting force of a predetermined magnitude or greater, the stopper 50 is released. Therefore, even if the display is pivoted inadvertently beyond the permissible range of the pivotal motion, breakage of components thereof would never take place, and its normal state of use can easily be restored.

The invention discloses a self-adaptive method for correcting the white balance, which includes the following steps: original image data is blocked and each block is viewed as an original pixel; average of a component R, a component G and a component B in each block is calculated; a G / R ratio , a G / B ratio and a corresponding Grb value in each data block are obtained; whether the G / R ratio, the G / B ratio and the corresponding Grb value are within a restricted range of the color space is judged, and the processing data is determined as the grey pixel data which is required to be selected; the step-selected R, G, and B data is calculated by statistics and the average of R, G, and B data, and gain of each data Rgain, Ggain and Bgain are obtained; and the obtained gain is applied to the interpolated image data to achieve gain control of the R, G and B components of each pixel in the image. The invention can eliminate the color influence of high saturation and low saturation, and achieve the self-adaptive white balance correction fast.

A video gaming system includes a wireless controller that senses linear and angular acceleration to calculate paths of controller movement over a broad range of controller motion. The system also includes an electromagnetic alignment element, such as a set of LEDS. The controller includes an additional sensor to sense light from the LEDs over a relatively restricted range of controller motion, and use this sensed light to dynamically calibrate the controller when the controller passes through the restricted range of motion over which the sensor senses the light.

Various features pertain to digital signatures for use in signing messages. In one aspect, a digital signature is generated based on a nonce derived using a per-message salt value, particularly a salt selected to provide a semi-deterministic nonce (i.e. a nonce that is neither fully deterministic nor completely random.) In one example, the nonce is generated by concatenating the salt value with a long-term private key and then applying the result to a key derivation function along with a hash of the message to be signed. The salt value may be, e.g., a counter, a context-specific message or may be randomly generated within a restricted range of values (relative to a full range of values associated with the particular digital signature generation protocol used to generate a digital signature from the nonce.)

A method of securing bus architecture from a Trojan attack. A restricted address access detector generates an unauthorized access detection, signal when a master ID signal is within a restricted range. The unauthorized access detection signal disables the requested slave select signal, and the address decoder instead outputs a default slave select signal. A counter determines the duration of a lock signal from a master, and a comparator activates a malicious bus lock signal if the lock signal duration exceeds a threshold. The master mask register forcibly gates the lock signal upon receipt of the malicious bus lock signal. If the duration of a wait request from a slave exceeds a maximum duration register value, a comparator activates a malicious wait detection signal to disable the wait request signal. The method might include storing identifying information about the malicious master and storing a slave ID corresponding to the malicious slave.

A liquid cartridge includes a movable member and the movable member includes a detection portion and a float. The liquid cartridge also includes a restriction member and the restriction member includes an operation portion and a restriction portion. When the operation portion is in a first position, the restriction portion is configured to contact the movable member such that the movement of the float is restricted within a restricted range. When the operation portion is in a second position, the restriction portion is configured to release the movable member such that the float is positioned in a free range which is above the restricted range.

The invention relates to a testing method for red corpuscle blood group antigen. It takes the processes of over pre-dilution, reacting, and testing, respectively testing the reacting system formed by tested red corpuscle and blood group antibody that is already known and the red corpuscle parameter of the comparing system constructed by the tested red corpuscle suspension without blood group antibody, gaining the alteration of the two system red corpuscle parameters, taking comparison analysis to the restricted range to judge whether the agglutination reaction is occurred and indirectly testing whether the tested red corpuscle has the blood type antibody corresponding to that has already been known.

An image processing apparatus which estimates a point spread function (PSF) of at least one input image, and the image processing apparatus includes: an S / N ratio estimation unit which estimates an S / N ratio of the input image at each spatial frequency; a restricted range calculation unit which calculates a restricted range that is a range of the spatial frequency in which the frequency component of the input images are restricted and that more likely includes a spatial frequency in which the S / N ratio is lower; a frequency restriction unit which generates a restricted image by restricting a frequency component of the input image within the restricted range; and a PSF estimation unit which estimates the PSF of the input image, using the restricted image

A method and apparatus for adding audible noise with time varying volume to audio devices are disclosed which makes the time varying volume envelope of the added audible noise proportional to the time varying volume envelope of sound for frequencies where an individual has a restricted range of perception. The method and apparatus are used to improve the audibility, speech intelligibility, and word recognition characteristics in audio devices.

An athletic training device for enabling and teaching proper athletic movements while executing various athletic exercises. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to an athletic training device that enhances neuromuscular control in connection with keeping an athlete's hands close to each other, and also close to his / her torso by providing a restricted range of motion while being easily wearable and removable. Generally, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to adjustable, comfortable, cuff-based training devices that securely encircle a user's wrists with cuff-based members flexibly bound together for use in connection with swing-based movements. A central connecting sub-section typically comprises attachments, which affix a resilient, flexible medium to either of the cuff-based members providing a limited-but not unduly rigid-range of motion during utilization. Moreover, the cuff-based training device provides rigidity while contorting as the wearer performs various athletic actions confirming correct and proper techniques.

The support 10 of the present invention resembles a conventional Acrow prop which may be used for temporarily supporting a load. In particular, the present invention is arranged to support a surface at a static position. For example, the surface may comprise a ceiling / beam / lintel within a structure wherein the usual permanent supports for the ceiling / beam / lintel are being replaced or deemed temporarily insufficient. However, the present invention can be used in numerous situations where a support 10 is required and for which the support 10 can be quickly and easily installed. The present invention provides (hydraulic) movement means to move the upper end relative to the lower end. In addition, the present invention provides retraction prevention means to prevent the upper end moving towards the lower end whilst supporting the load and prevents the inner core member 14 being forcibly retracted back into the outer sleeve member 12 due to the compressive force of the load. A hydraulic ram 22 has a maximum extension limit and the present invention uses an adjustable mounting / abutment mechanism which means that a relatively small hydraulic ram 22 can be installed in the outer sleeve member 12. This size of hydraulic ram 22 will then be suitable for all heights and the support is not limited to simply being moveable within a restricted range.

A method of adjusting the 2-way communication range of an RFID system to assist a human operator to individually handle and interrogate a plurality of tagged objects, such as suitcases, that each include an RFID tag transceiver. An RFID interrogator transceiver is mounted on the human operator. The 2-way communication range between the interrogator transceiver and the tag transceivers is adjusted to only slightly exceed the closest distance between the interrogator and the tag while the operator is handling the tagged object. Preferably, the 2-way communication range is short enough that other tagged objects will remain outside the communication range and will not respond to messages from the interrogator. Another aspect of the invention is a method of verifying whether an object to be transported has reached its intended destination. In this aspect, an interrogator transceiver at a first destination interrogates an RFID tag transceiver on the object, and in response the tag transmits its intended destination.

A VVT has a movable restriction member and a restriction slot. When the restriction member is in a projected position, the VVT is variable in a restricted range to which the restriction member can be rotatable within the restriction slot. When the restriction member is in a retracted position, the VVT is variable in a range wider than the restricted range. When a condition where the restriction member shall be projected is satisfied, if the variable range of the VVT reaches beyond the restricted range, the device determines that the restriction member is stuck at the retracted position. When a condition where the restriction member shall be retracted is satisfied, if the variable range of the VVT is restricted in the restricted range, the device determines that the restriction member is stuck at the projected position.
