Modular multiplication of two elements X(t) and Y(t), over GF(2), where m is a field degree, may utilize field degree to determine, at least in part, the number of iterations. An extra shift operation may be employed when the number of iterations is reduced. Modular multiplication of two elements X(t) and Y(t), over GF(2), may include a shared reduction circuit utilized during multiplication and reduction. In addition, a modular multiplication of binary polynomials X(t) and Y(t), over GF(2), may utilize the Karatsuba algorithm, e.g., by recursively splitting up a multiplication into smaller operands determined according to the Karatsuba algorithm.

An enhanced programmable automatic level control loop comprising an input for receiving an input RF signal; a level modulator, wherein the level modulator receives the input RF signal and a control signal and wherein the level modulator produces a first signal; a mixer that receives the first signal and mixes it with an LO signal to produce a second signal; a programmable attenuator that receives the second signal and produces an output signal; a level detector that monitors RF power of the output signal and produces a DC voltage proportional to the RF power; and wherein the DC voltage is received at a loop amplifier which produces the control signal.

A spectrum analyzer is provided that includes components to achieve from below 9 kHz to above 20 GHz operation range while remaining hand-held. Components of the spectrum analyzer include an integrated precision stand-alone step attenuator that does not rely on printed circuit board (PCB) mounted circuit elements within the signal path. Further, a PIN diplexing switch separates signals into different base-band and highband paths. The baseband path includes a pre-amplifier for low frequency signals, while the higher frequency bands may not necessarily include a pre-amplifier. The baseband path further provides improved broadband termination of its 1st mixer IF port by incorporating a new quadrature-coupled directional (QCD) filter that includes a ring resonator. An inexpensive air dielectric multi-cavity baseband filter is also used to suppress 2nd mixer IF images. The highband path incorporates multi-throw MMIC PIN diode switches to selectively filter different bands of input signals. At least three total 1st mixers are used to increase operation bandwidth. A phase locked loop providing a 1st LO to the 1st mixers is created that uses a divide-by-two frequency divider in cascade with a sampler-type frequency downconverter. The output of the 1st LO is frequency doubled and filtered to increase the frequency range of the highband signal path.

The present invention is a compression scheme for compressing audio and video data. An image is divided into blocks of pixels. In one test, if all of the pixels are approximately equal to the corresponding pixels in the previous block, then no data is sent for that block. In a second test, if all of the pixels in a block are approximately equal to a mean pixel value, then only one color value is transmitted. In a third test, if quantization of the pixels via companding results in an acceptable representation, the quantization is performed. The present invention uses quantization codes that are proportional to the logarithm of the magnitude of the range quantized, computation of a magnitude byte that permits rapid discovery of the number of bits used for quantization of a block, recursive packing and unpacking of quantized pixel data, and two-dimensional paths through the block.

A method and apparatus for modeling the specular reflection of light from an object is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the method, a portion of the object is modeled by one or more surfaces each having at least one vertex and an edge point corresponding to an edge. A sine value associated with a highlight angle is determined at each vertex and edge point, and a control value is determined at each vertex and edge point using the sine values. A specular input component at each point on the surface is determined using the control values. The specular input component is utilized to determine the specular light component at that particular point. Embodiments of apparatus implementing the method are also disclosed.

A towing device for towing water skis in which the ski or skis are removably clamped, the device being retained in place when the ski or skis are in a static condition, by pressure exerted by a pair of spring mechanisms, clamping the device to the ski or skis. Further clamping force is applied by pressure on the handle of the towing device when the skis are initially towed, the device being releasable when the pressure is released from the handle momentarily, for a sufficient length of time to permit the towing force applied to the towrope to overcome the pressure exerted by the spring mechanisms on the device and thereby allowing the towrope to strip the towing device off the end of the ski or skis. The device is made of buoyant material and floats on the surface of the water.

Sequence alignment techniques are disclosed. In one embodiment, a sparse data structure is constructed that represents respective character positions of matching character sets in input sequences. This sparse data structure may take a variety of forms, including a “tree of trees.” Once constructed, each match is linked to at most one other match using a local application of a predetermined algorithm (e.g., a Smith-Waterman-type scoring algorithm). The links between matches are analyzed and a possible alignment or set of alignments is produced.

Primitive data in the form of defined lines for a computer graphics display is processed as by interpolating triangles, as during scan conversion, and by treating lines as triangle edges. An offset point is selected, e.g. offset perpendicularly from the line midpoint a distance of one-half the line length to define a triangle vertex along with the line endpoints. The resulting triangle is interpolated for example as with barycentric coordinates. Accordingly, the line may be interpolated, e.g. shaded, as though it were an edge of the defined triangle. For lines, sample points are coerced to lie on the triangle edge.
