Documentarian Offers Viewers A Challenge
Published: June 19, 1988
(Page 2 of 2)
In the ''Deaf and Blind'' series, Mr. Wiseman begins each film with seeming arbitrariness - trucks on a highway, people at a race-car speedway, a main street in Talladega - meanders about setting the scene and drops in a hint of what is to come: an empty wheelchair being pushed across a sidewalk, a bus unloading band members, obviously blind. Finally, a sign for the school, some exterior shots of the building. And, eventually, we are taken inside.
In the first film, ''Blind,'' we see Jason, an angelic second-grader, proudly taking his paper, on which he received an A, to another classroom to show a teacher, intrepidly negotiating the school hallways. ''Get your feeler up,'' Jason is warned in another scene, when he forgets to keep his arm in front of him so that his sense of touch will serve as the guide his eyes cannot provide. ''When I get my cane, it'll take me. When I get a cane, I won't bump into things any more,'' a little girl says hopefully. The staff meets to effect the transfer of a boy who has been breaking into rooms. In the kitchen classroom, a man learns to clear a table before he sets it for a meal.
As Mr. Wiseman has planned, a range of emotions is open to the viewer. You can feel pity for the plight of these blind, deaf, blind/deaf and otherwise handicapped children and adults. Or triumph with their small accomplishments, like when teacher and deaf student finally get ''See you later, alligator'' and ''After a while, crocodile'' in correct sign language. You can squirm at the claustrophobic scene with Peter and his mother, become angry with the boy for not looking at her, or side with him for keeping this woman at bay, who he feels doesn't love him. The handicapped are brave, lazy, industrious, manipulative, petulant, vain, compassionate, selfish. They like to dance and want to be cheerleaders. They covet attention; they want to be left alone in their sullenness. They work to overcome their handicaps; they use them as weapons and excuses.
Often, as with many of Mr. Wiseman's films, even at the end, there is no clear vision of what has happened, what it all means, why you have been shown what you have. No conclusions, no main point made. No solution.
But then, characters come back the next day or week, to haunt or warm or irritate. For me, two-thirds through the nine hours, there was a scene when multiply-handicapped children return to their dormitory. There, in a room cheerily painted, obviously clean and with a large television set, but without the individual attention they receive in class, they regress. One child tumbles on the floor with a chair, another walks about, a blank look on his face. Strange, gutteral sounds eerily compete with the television program. A child rocks monotonously back and forth, bodies twitch uncontrollably. Aides assigned to the dormitory look on impassively. It is a scene reminiscent of ''Titicut Follies,'' not of one the finest schools for the handicapped in the country. Yes, this is the reason to see all this tedium; without the painstaking care and attention of the school's staff, this is what the childrens' lives would be.
I offered my personal reaction to Mr. Wiseman, and his look was one of surprise. ''I didn't do it for dramatic impact. It was just part of the day. I'm very poor at judging what is dramatic or typical or especially instructive. I never know what people really take from my films. Maybe like me, they think of Alabama as the place where Bull Connor set the dogs on the civil-rights demonstrators in the 1960's. Maybe, like me, they see that the color barriers are down in this school. Maybe they see that religion plays an enormous part in the lives of the staff, that they really try to live out their beliefs. Maybe they see the demanding but caring community a school like this engenders. Everybody talks about community, but few are willing to do the work to make it happen. Maybe that's the bit somebody takes from the film. The viewers summon up their own experiences in relationship to what they see, sort it out and have to deal with it.
''Or not.'' A ROCKY JOURNEY
Does a highly respected documentary film maker, a 58-year-old veteran of public television, consciously set out to make a nine-hour series that he does not have the money to complete, will have trouble getting PBS executives even to even watch, will have to battle to have accepted uncut and then will have to continue squabbling with those executives to have it scheduled?
The short answer is no. The longer explanation is the conception and tortuous path of Frederick Wiseman's latest PBS project, ''Deaf and Blind.''
When he first arrived at the Alabama School for the Deaf and Blind in September of 1984, his idea was to do a single film, of perhaps two hours. ''It didn't take more than a couple days for me to realize I couldn't give 40 minutes to the blind, 35 to the deaf, so many to the multiple-handicapped. and what was left over to their re-hab training -that each had to be a separate film,'' Mr. Wiseman said. ''Fortunately, I had been given a MacArthur grant, $50,000 a year for five years. So I went ahead and did it and had the whole bunch ready by early 1986.''
PBS took more than three months to look at the films, on the pretext that claiming there was no 16-millimeter projector available, then tried to get Mr. Wiseman to trim them into two-hour segments so they could fit into usual programming slots. He resisted, and then PBS begrudgingly offered four consecutive Saturday nights, popularly considered the graveyard for documentaries. Mr. Wiseman had to lobby for a better spot - and underwriting.
He finally received Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS funds, as well as a National Endowment for the Arts grant, to pay off the bank loans he had taken out.
''If public television can't adapt to anything not an hour or half an hour long,'' he said, ''something's very wrong someplace. And if Lawrence Welk reruns are the highest-rated shows they have, I think some alternatives, untidy as they may be, might not be inappropriate.'' - P.W.

Any idea if it is possible to escape/alter the way in which the external command alters the contents of ${message_content} ?
Thank you,
Views: 231
Hi Pablo,
External command url-encodes the ${message_content} variable (using http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.ht... with UTF-8).
Most scripting languages will have a built-in or easily accessible url-decode function which will reverse this for you.
Hope this helps,
Hi Alex,
I've just seen your reply.
Do you know if there is any way to change the way in which spaces are encoded? I'm trying to use the + sign to indicate an operation (as entered by the user), and when the enconder kicks in I may end up with ...++... and not knowing if it is one space and a + sign, or two spaces!
Thanks a lot for your reply, and for any pointers you may have.
Probably the easiest thing to do will be to tweak FrontlineUtils.java and change the + signs that I wish to keep into something else before calling URLDecoder.decode()
I see that URLDecoder.decode() is also called in SMSGatewayProxy.java but I'm only using GPRS modems at the time.
Hi Pablo,
URL-encoding a plus sign should change it into the character sequence "%2b", so you should still be able to distinguish it from spaces.
Is this different to what you're seeing?

A standard piece of switchgear in distribution systems comprising of switches for switching power cable rings and of switches in series with fuses for the protection of distrbution transformers. RMU: Ring Main Unit. RMU used for H.T.side. RMU is having
3no.s of switches(Circuit Breakers or Isolators or LBS), it
is used for two inputs with mechanical or electrical
interlock and one outgoing to the load. Either one input
with two outgoings. RMU used for redundancy feeder's
Ring main unit is used in a secondary distribution system. It is basically used for an uninterrupted power supply. Alongside, it also protects your secondary side transformer from the occasional transient currents. Depending on your applications and loading conditons you can use a swicth fuse combination or a circuit breaker to protect the transformer. This transformer connected to the switch fuse/ circuit breaker is called your T off. In a common arrangement you have Load break swicthes on both the sides of your T off. Ring main Units come in standard ratings of
11/22/33 kV, 630/1250 A, 21 KA/3 secs.

Here's the first sketch #25
I've flipped this on its side :)
Sometimes I really love to do a full page LO for my PL album,
yet still was able to do the little sketch on a smaller 6x6 diecut piece,
then place it on the LO to complete the bigger picture.
Not quite the picture sentiment... but found a puffy sticker,
and cut out a pic of this little cartoon cat - believe me,
this is the exact physique of Blackie!
Poor Blackie, forever in a state of anxiety!
Trying to get the floor ready for new tiles - the boards underneath were in shocking
condition so needed to be replaced. Blackie was beside himself with the disappearing floor!

Suits Blackie to a tee!
He really does like to 'look' outside, but its very short-lived everytime!

basically I was at a party w my friend and the guys in my percussion section (Band) . One of the guys in my section put something in my drink and when I woke up in my bed the next morning and noticed that $10 was missing from my wallet. They probably already spent it and I can't tell an adult because I was drunk and I'm 16. How do I get revenge and fuck them over. Me and my friend are trying to scheme. Please don't say anything like "forgive and move on " etc. They crossed me. That is unacceptable.
by the way I know this because they all have big mouths and are bragging about it.

Living or traveling on a boat gives you the opportunity to have a home while you see new things and places. The trade-off is that your home is very small. Storage space is at a premium on boats, which is why every little nook and cranny must be used.
Below the Floor
Most boat cabin floors have removable planks that allow you to access the bilge pump and the ballast. There isn't much room down there, and what room there is isn't appropriate for fragile or sensitive things. However, it is a place to store a few small and hardy objects that might be in the way elsewhere in the boat. Anything that's made of plastic and is waterproof and non-breakable, for example, can be stored there.
Behind the Benches
Boat cabins can have many different layouts. Some have recessed bunks behind the bench seats that are typically around a central table, while others have benches with backs that fold up or down to create bunks. If your boat cabin has bench backs that are movable, you may be able to store small items behind them. The best thing to store in this location is bedding, since you will probably be moving the bench backs anyway and will have easy access to items such as sleeping pads or blankets. Pillows, though, will probably not fit in this space without making the bench uncomfortable by pushing the back too far out.
Hanging from the Ceiling
The ceilings of boat cabins are low, but small items can be hung from the ceiling in locations that are out of the path of traffic. The advantage of hanging something from the ceiling is that when the boat heels or encounters swells while sailing, the item will simply continue hanging there rather than crashing to the floor if it were sitting on a counter. Possible items that can be usefully hung from the ceiling include foodstuffs such as garlic or onions, candles in hanging holders, and web bags for holding personal items.

Tubal-cain in his forge. Tapestry in the Musée de Cluny
|Other names
|Tubal-Cain, Tubalcain, Tubal (simplified name)
|Known for
|forefather of smiths
|"an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron"
|Lamech and Zillah
Jabal (half-brother)
Jubal (half-brother)
Naamah (sister)
Tubalcain is a character mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in Genesis 4:22. He was a descendant of Cain, the son of Lamech and Zillah, and the brother of Naamah.
In Hebrew his name is תובל קין. In the King James Version this is rendered as Tubalcain, in the New International Version it is Tubal-Cain, while in the English Standard Version it is Tubal-cain. Rashi interprets the name to mean "he who spices the craft of Cain."[1]
It is not clear why he has a double-barrelled name. Gordon Wenham suggests that the name "Cain" means "smith" (which would anticipate the remarks about his metal-working skill), or that he is called "Tubal Cain" in order to distinguish him from the other Tubal, the son of Japheth.[2]
Henry Morris suggests that etymologically, his name is "the progenitor of the name of the Roman God Vulcan."[3]
Genesis 4:22 says that Tubal-cain was the "forger of all instruments of bronze and iron" (ESV) or an "instructer of every artificer in brass and iron" (KJV). Although this may mean he was a metalsmith, a comparison with verses 20 and 21 suggests that he may have been the very first artificer in brass and iron. T. C. Mitchell suggests that he "discovered the possibilities of cold forging native copper and meteoric iron."[4] Tubal-cain has even been described as the first chemist.[5]
Others connect Tubal-cain's work to making weapons of war. Rashi notes that he "spiced and refined the Cain's craft to make weapons for murderers."[1] In The Antiquities of the Jews Flavius Josephus says that "Tubal exceeded all men in strength, and was very expert and famous in martial performances, ... and first of all invented the art of working brass." Walter Elwell suggests that his invention of superior weapons may have been the motivation for Lamech's interest in avenging blood.[6]
Alternatively, E. E. Kellett suggests that Tubal-cain may have been a miner.[7]

A common misunderstanding about bolt cutters is that they have extraordinarily sharp blades which can only be sharpened with special tools. In reality, their cutting power comes from the enormous mechanical advantage generated by their lever-like handles. The blades themselves can be sharpened using techniques familiar to anyone used to taking care of their own tools.
Things You'll Need
- Mill file
- Machine oil
- Old rags
Check the bolt cutter's head for filth. Wipe or scrub away anything that is excessive and would interfere with sharpening or with the workings of the bolt cutters. A rag with a little soap and water will probably be enough to take care of this. Dry off the cutting blades afterward.
Place the bolt cutters across your lap so that they are in the open position with the blades pointing away from you and in a stable position.
Working with one blade at a time, place the mill file against the bevel at a 20 to 30 degree angle, matching it as closely as possible. Push the file down and along the face of the blade. Repeat this motion seven to 11 more times, and then do it again for the other blade.
Turn the bolt cutters over and file the other side of each blade for eight to 12 strokes in total, making sure to get any burrs off the blade.
Put two to three drops of machine oil on each blade and rub it in with a dry rag. This will help protect your blades against rust.

The fast-growing, lightly studied world of e-cigarettes and vape shops figures to change now that the Food and Drug Administration plans to watch over the nicotine delivery systems much the same way it regulates traditional tobacco.
The FDA's announcement, issued Thursday, has been anticipated by cigarette companies, e-cigarette makers and dealers and anti-tobacco activists. All sides say the FDA figures to bring some order to a world that has largely been unregulated.
Q. What changes today?
A. Nothing. The FDA's proposal isn't going to take effect for another two years. But when it does, new and existing e-cig products will require FDA approval. This includes the devices and the liquids, which are usually (but not always) nicotine laced. A ban of e-cig sales to those under 18 is already observed in California. And the marketing of e-cigs on TV and other media will still be allowed.
Q. Will regulation help us learn the health effects of e-cigs?
A. The consensus is that using e-cigs is healthier than smoking a traditional cigarette, with its thousands of toxic compounds. But how much healthier, if at all, is a question that will be easier to answer with FDA regulation than without it.
Right now, there's little hard science on the use of e-cigs. There's also not much known about the long-term effects of inhaling the other ingredients in "e-liquid," which includes flavoring, water and propylene glycol, a chemical that helps nicotine vaporize inside the device.
Q. How could the public be helped by FDA rules?
A. Right now, in some states, e-cig makers operate without any government oversight. There's no uniformity in processes to make the liquids, and although makers generally offer a limited set of concentrations (from 0 mg to 24 mg nicotine in a vial), higher dosages are available on the Internet. Some makers use child-resistant caps for liquid nicotine; others don't, raising the specter of children getting hold of and ingesting pure nicotine, which can be toxic.
If warning labels, registration requirements for products, regular inspections and other restrictions are implemented (all details to be ironed out by the FDA in the coming months and years), the public would have a much better understanding of what's in these products, and how they're made.
Q. Does this spell the end of the small e-cig industry?
A. No. There are already a few hundred e-cig and vape shops in Orange County and there figured to be a shakeout with or without FDA regulation. If costs rise, or if e-cig products are taxed like traditional tobacco products, customers could go away.
Still, some companies believe standards might weed out businesses taking advantage of lax regulations.
"It's not a big deal," said Andy Donahue, director of sales and marketing for Mod, a Costa Mesa-based e-cigarette maker. "At the beginning, we looked at the whole industry and the possibility of what regulations may happen, and we stayed above the line on everything."
Q. Where is Big Tobacco in this?
A. Everywhere. In fact, the major tobacco companies have all jumped into the e-cig market with their own products, or acquired smaller e-cig companies, and are vocal about policing the industry.
Q. Is there much money at stake?
A. Right now, about four years into the trend, the market for e-cigarettes is estimated at $2.2 billion. That's a fraction of the actual tobacco industry, which rakes in $100 billion annually.
Q. Will regulation make it more or less likely that e-cigs will be seen as a way to help people quit smoking?
A. Proponents of e-cigs, many of them former chain smokers, say the product does work as a way to get off cigarettes. But there isn't much science yet on the topic. A small study published last month out of UC San Francisco showed that 88 smokers who also used e-cigs weren't more likely to quit after a year. Producers can't legally say e-cigs are safer than regular cigarettes, nor can they officially promote them as smoking-cessation tools. It's unclear how FDA regulation might change those rules.
Q. What did the FDA do about marketing of e-cigs?
A. Nothing, for now. But that could change when the FDA finalizes its guidelines. E-cigs might no longer be available on the Internet, warning labels could be added, and sellers could be restricted in where they can advertise, and what they can say in those ads. David S. Timberlake, an assistant professor of public health and epidemiology at UC Irvine who's an expert in tobacco-control policies, says marketing of e-cigs remains "the big question" is of the FDA's announcement.
Q. I've seen flavors on e-liquid vials like Strawberry Shortcake and Cinnabon. Aren't those blatant attempts to appeal to minors?
A. The industry says no, but statistics suggest otherwise. A federal study found 10 percent of high school students tried e-cig products in 2012, up from 4.7 percent in 2011. But the FDA completely sidestepped this issue, declining to limit certain flavors, logos, names or designs that might be enticing to adolescents.
That doesn't mean the subject won't come up in the final rules, though.

The application claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/907,619, which was filed on Apr. 8, 2005, and which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/560,621 which was filed on Apr. 9, 2004.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a method for generating TV signals and related apparatus, and more particularly, to a method for generating TV signals according to data lines similarities and related apparatus thereof.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The continuous and dynamic images of movies and television provided to viewers are in reality generated from a combination of gradually changing still images. When the television displays the video, there are two types of systems that have evolved to produce the continuous and dynamic flow of images. The first one is the national television standard committee (NTSC) system. In this system each video field includes 525 rows of data (i.e., 525 horizontal lines) and 60 pictures are displayed each second, i.e. the field rate is 60 Hz. The second system is called the phase alternating line (PAL), wherein each video field includes 625 rows of data and 50 pictures are displayed each second, i.e. the field rate is 50 Hz. For these two traditional television systems, to display 60 fields per second comprising 525 rows of data or to display 50 fields per second comprising 625 rows of data is extremely expensive, thus not suitable to the market. So, interlaced scanning technology was developed. Interlaced scanning scans the even lines for the first video field, then scans the odd lines for the next video field instead of scanning all lines for each field. Hence, for NTSC system with 60 Hz field rate actually 30 frames per second are processed, and for PAL system actually 25 frames per second are processed. However, the flow of dynamic images is still acceptable to the human eye. The images are still perceived as continuous and dynamic. Each frame in the interlaced scanning technology is divided into two parts: odd sequence data that is known as odd field and even sequence data that is known as even field.
However, a movie is displayed at a frame rate of 24 Hz. For NTSC system, as an example, when it is desirable to broadcast the movie to the television the movie's image data must be converted from its normal frequency of 24 Hz to 60 Hz.
Please refer to
Progressive scan is developed later and becomes popular, such as the LCD display or plasma TV. In progressive scan, the whole data lines, instead of only half data lines, of each video field are displayed. Therefore, when the progressive scan (or the double-frequency TV image technique) is utilized to display the field, which only comprise half data, fields should be transformed into frames, which comprise the whole data, so that the progressive scan can be executed correctly. The above-mentioned operation of transforming fields into frames is also called as "de-interlacing" technique. Generally speaking, two odd (even) fields corresponding to the same film frame are the same, but two odd (even) fields corresponding to two film frames are the same only if the two film frames are still. In the prior art, one field can be deinterlaced with the adjacent field to double the display resolution. However, if the original field data are the fields of film data as shown in
Please refer to
In the NTSC system, the frame rate of the progressive scan technique is 60 Hz. Therefore, the progressive TV frame P1 is utilized to generate the progressive TV frames P2 and P3. In other words, the progressive TV frame A′ is displayed in total three times. Similarly, the progressive TV frames P4 are copied to generate the progressive TV frame P5. That is, the progressive TV frame B′ is displayed twice. Similarly, the frame C′ is displayed three times, and the frame D′ is displayed twice.
When the TV data are broadcasted by the TV service provider, other data or information (for example, running text) is added to facilitate advertisements or news. Because of the introducing this additional data or information, two same fields looks different. If two same fields originates from the same film frame, the prior art may wrongly determine the mode of the TV content or wrongly processing the fields results in the running text becoming blurred.
In addition to adding the running text, other information can be added such that the original similarity pattern is influenced. For example, a still text or trademark is added, or the current time text can be added in the corner of the picture. These may cause a misinterpretation of the type of the source image. Please refer to
It is therefore one of primary objectives of the claimed invention to provide a method for generating a TV signal according to data line similarity and the related apparatus thereof. That is, the present invention utilizes the data line as a unit to detect the similarity of each pair of fields, and then utilizes the similarity pattern to determine the type of the source image. Therefore, the present invention utilizes the data line as a unit to process the interlaced TV data to generate the progressive TV data in order to prevent the influence of the similarity pattern from having a negative effect on the added running texts or still texts in order to solve the above-mentioned problem.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the claimed invention, a display controller capable of detecting data line similarity is disclosed. The display controller includes a buffer for temporarily storing a plurality of data lines of a target field, a data line similarity detector, coupled to the buffer, for detecting a similarity of each data line of the target field, a data line state recorder for recording the similarity of each data line of the target field, a de-interlacer coupled to the buffer, and a scaler coupled to the de-interlacer, wherein the de-interlacer selectively de-interlaces the target field according to the content stored in the data line state recorder in order to generate a de-interlaced output, and the scaler generates a scaling output according to the de-interlaced output.
These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
The present invention utilizes data lines as a unit (line-based) to detect similarities of specific data lines of each field in an interlaced TV signal. If the similarities of the specific data lines comply with a predetermined similarity pattern, the present invention combines data of the specific data lines of two successive fields to generate a progressive TV signal. On the other hand, if the similarities of the specific data lines do not comply with the predetermined similarity pattern, the present invention directly interpolates the data lines utilizing the current field, to enhance the quality for the progressive TV signal.
Please refer to
In this embodiment, the present invention can detect a similarity pattern of data lines of the interlaced scanning television image signal in the data lines, which are above the n+2 data line or below the s data line in odd fields among the fields F41 to F50, and in the data lines, which are above the n+3 data line or below the s+1 data line in even fields among the fields F41 to F50. The similarity, as mentioned above, indicates that the two fields of the first pair of fields among five successive pairs of fields are similar to each other, wherein each pair of fields contains two fields that are separated by a single field. And if the similarity complies with the similarity pattern, the data line is utilized as a unit to combine the odd field and the even field to generate corresponding data lines of TV frames P41-P50. This allows that the data of the 1 data line to n+1 data line, and data of the data lines below the s+2 data lines are double of the original interlaced TV field so as to have better display quality.
However, because the running text is added in the interlaced TV fields F41-F50, the similarities of the n+2 data lines of the fields F41-F50 to s+1 data lines of the fields F41-F50 do not comply with the specific similarity pattern. Therefore, the present invention directly utilizes neighboring data lines of the current field to generate two data lines of the progressive frames.
As shown in
In this embodiment, if detecting that the similarities of corresponding data lines of fields comply with the specific similarity pattern for several times (for example, the specific similarity pattern of the data lines of the pair of corresponding fields per five fields appears twice), the present invention combines the data of the data lines of the interlaced TV fields into the corresponding data lines of the progressive TV frames according to a predetermined way. Please note that when the data are displayed, if the similarity pattern cannot be detected, the present invention directly utilizes the data lines of the fields to generate progressive TV data instead of utilizing the combined data line.

Step 600: Set N=0;
Step 610: If all pixels of a target data line of the target field are all detected, step 615 is then performed; otherwise, step 620 is performed;
Step 615: Determine that the target data line of the target field is similar to the corresponding data line of the corresponding field, and then step 670 is performed;
Step 620: Determine an undetected pixel of the target data line of the target field as the target pixel and determine a corresponding pixel, which has a position, which corresponds to the target pixel, of the corresponding data line of the corresponding field;
Step 630: If the gray value of the corresponding pixel is different from the gray value of the target pixel, step 640 is performed; otherwise, step 610 is performed;
Step 640: Add 1 to N;
Step 650: If N is larger than the predetermined value K, then step 660 is performed; otherwise, step 610 is performed again;
Step 660: Determine that the target data line of the target field is not similar to the corresponding data line of the corresponding field;
Step 670: Finish.
In order to realize the flow of determining the similarity of two data lines, the image processing device can be embodied by software or hardware circuits.

Please note that when the interlaced TV fields comprise still texts, the present invention detects the line-based similarities in order to generate the progressive TV frames. Please refer to
In another embodiment, the similarity of data lines of successive odd and even fields is detect, and the progressive frames are generated according to the line-based similarity of corresponding fields. Please note that two odd and even fields originated from the same frames contains no exactly corresponding lines. Still, the line-based similarity can be determined in this embodiment. When the degree of similarity of two successive odd and even fields is larger than a predetermined value, the present invention can determine that the two fields come from the same source image. However, because the odd and even field respectively comprises odd data lines and even data lines, the odd and even fields have no directly corresponding data lines (i.e., the odd and even fields have no common data lines or common pixels). Therefore, the present invention cannot compare data lines of two odd fields or two even fields as mentioned above. In this embodiment, the present invention utilizes a zigzag detection to determine the similarity of two data lines of the two successive fields.
Please refer to
Sign(91(k,j)−92(k−1,j))XOR Sign(92(k+1,j)−91(k,j))=1 equation (1)
Abs(91(k,j)−92(k−1,j))>K3 equation (2)
Abs(92(k+1,j)−91(k,j))>K4 equation (3)
In the above three equations, the values K3 and K4 are two predetermined values, and K3 and K4 can be the same value or different values.
In this embodiment, when the two successive fields correspond to a motion (the two fields are different because of the motion), in the area, which have pixel value variance because of the motion, of the fields, the gray value of the middle pixel is the largest or the smallest. Equation (1) is satisfied. Furthermore, the gray value difference between the middle pixel and other vertically successive pixels is larger than a predetermined value. Equations (2) and (3) are satisfied. Therefore, the present invention determines that the three pixels are not changing smoothly. Moreover, if the number of pixels, which are determined as being not changing smoothly, of the target data line of the target field are larger than a predetermined value, the present invention determines that the two data lines (e.g., the target data line and the corresponding data line) are not similar. On the contrary, if the number of pixels, which are determined as being changing smoothly, of the target data line of the target field, the present invention determines that the two data lines (e.g., the target data line and the corresponding data line) are similar.
Please refer to
Step 1000: Set N as 0;
Step 1010: If all pixels of the target data line of the target field are all detected, step 1015 is performed; otherwise, step 1020 is performed;
Step 1015: Determine that the target data line and two data lines of the corresponding field are similar, and then step 1070 is performed;
Step 1020: Utilize a undetected pixel of the target data line of the target field as the target pixel, respectively utilize an upper data line and a lower data line of the corresponding field as two corresponding data lines, and utilize two pixels having the same horizontal coordinate of the target pixel as a first successive pixel and a second successive pixel;
Step 1030: If the gray value Uj of the first successive pixel is larger than the gray value Mj, the gray value difference between the gray value Uj and the gray value Mj is larger than a third predetermined value K3, or the gray value Dj of the second successive pixel is larger than the gray value Mj and the gray value difference between the gray value Dj and the gray value Mj is larger than a fourth predetermined value K4, step 1040 is performed; otherwise, step 1010 is performed;
Step 1040: Add 1 to N;
Step 1050: If N is larger than a fifth predetermined value K5, step 1060 is performed; if N is less than the predetermined value K3, step 1010 is performed;
Step 1060: Determine that the target data line and the two corresponding data lines are similar;
Step 1070: Finish.
In order to detect the similarities of the data lines of two successive odd and even fields, the image processing apparatus can be achieved by software or hardware circuits.

As mentioned above, if the TV service provider adds the running text, the present invention can utilize data lines as a unit to determine the similarity of the fields. Therefore, the present invention can prevent poor display quality due to the running texts for appearing. Furthermore, the present invention can still perform the interpolation on most of pixels of the TV fields and perform the de-interlacing operation on most of the data lines of the TV fields to compensate the TV display quality. The present invention does not perform any operation on the data lines comprising the running text. This causes the running text to appear as clear rather than blurry. For example, N*1-bit line buffer can be added to a display controller. The line buffer can continuously records the similarities of all data lines of the target field. Therefore, the display controller can selectively perform the de-interlacing operation or the interpolation operation on the pixels according to the data stored in the line buffer. This allows the present invention to avoid the processing of the data lines comprising running texts. Please note that the value N is related to the display quality of the TV frame. For example, in the NTSC system, it comprises 525 data lines; the value N can be 525. In the PAL system, it comprises 625 data lines; the value N can be 625. Please note that the added hardware is limited so that the hardware cost is minimal. Moreover, because the running text is not disposed in the central position of the frames viewers may not observe the running text as much as more centrally located images. The present invention can utilize N*1-bit line buffer to utilize the data lines as a unit to determine the similarities of fields. Until the current image source does not comply with a predetermined similarity pattern, the present invention maintains the current playing mode (e.g., the film mode). Please note that the present invention device, which utilizes the data line as a unit to determine the field similarities, can operate independently or it can operate with other prior art devices that utilize entire fields to determine the field similarities.

Step 1400: Start;
Step 1410: Analyze the similarities of the data lines of the target field and record the similarities in the N*1-bit data line state recorder;
Step 1420: De-interlace and scale the main area of the target field with a successive field, which is the area having no running text, according to the similarities stored in the data line state recorder;
Step 1430: De-interlace and scale the secondary areas of the target field without referring to other fields. This allows the running text clearer;
Step 1440: Finish.
In summary, the present invention provides a method of utilizing a data line as a unit to generate progressive TV frames according to interlaced TV fields and apparatus thereof. The present invention can more elastically generate the progressive TV frames. Even when a running text is added to the field, the present invention can process other areas that do not contain any running texts. In addition, the present invention can prevent poor editing of the fields due to the interlaced TV fields being derived from film data.
The present invention can first utilize a whole field as a unit to detect whether the similarity pattern exist in order to ensure what the data source of the interlaced TV fields is. And then the present invention utilizes the data line as a unit to detect the similarity so that the present invention can generate a high-quality progressive TV frames. Furthermore, the present invention can detect whether the similarity complies with a predetermined similarity pattern. If the number of the similarities of the data lines of the target field is larger than a predetermined number, the present invention directly utilizes the target field to generate the progressive TV frames.
The present invention also provides a data line similarity detecting device and related methods thereof. The present invention can utilize two fields, which have one field between them, or two successive fields to perform the similarity detection. Of course, the present invention also utilizes one data line as a unit. The present invention similarity detecting device comprises a pixel comparator for comparing the gray values between the target pixel and a corresponding pixel; an accumulator, coupled to the pixel comparator, for accumulating the comparison results outputted by the pixel comparator; and a similarity determiner, coupled to the accumulator, for determining the similarity of the data lines of the target field.
Please note that the present invention data line similarity detecting device shown in
Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.

What is Jive?
Jive is a method whereby Current Labs integrates Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and other immersive experiences into existing iOS Applications for clients.
Who wants to Jive?
Attracting new users can be a big undertaking for new applications in an ever-changing digital landscape. They say, "If you build it, they will come". But what if they're already there? If you already have an established user base, and don't want to create an entirely new application but rather want to improve your digital offerings with more immersive experiences, then choose Jive. Using existing user information and behaviour, we can work together to take your applications to the next level by creating immersive virtual reality experiences for smartphones, add another dimension to print designs with an augmented reality scanner or offer fun and exciting tailor-made games to meet your existing user base's needs.
How to Jive
Working closely with your developers, Current Labs will provide a fully-built immersive experience that will slot neatly into your existing framework and tailored to your users. Each Jive project will be customized to your needs. The size and load time of your app may increase, but the experiences we provide will make it worth the wait.
Does this Jive?
There are a few technical requirements in order for your app to Jive with us…
It needs to:
1 Target iOS7 and up.
2 Support targeting the armv7 Architecture.
3 Support building against C++ Standard Library libstdc++ (GNU) as opposed to the XCode default libc++ (LLVM).
For our streamlined integration procedure, the existing application must not duplicate symbols in the project such that it will build correctly with Other Linker Flags -ObjC -all_load.
Let's Jive Together
If you want to take your digital customer experience to the next level, then Jive is for you. Get in touch to discuss your options and possibilities.

The first time I saw Little Man was on a bright, hot afternoon near the end of November, when the trains had just pulled into the fair grounds and the familiar smell of upturned turf and sun-basked animals returned to Sarasota. The stutters of tractors hauling cages had quieted down enough to hear the soft cries of trainers encouraging the elephants to rehearse their steps to Stravinsky. I wandered past the perimeter of cars humming with air conditioning, a novelty back then, and followed the railroad tracks to a row of carved wooden wagons. I must have spent several minutes examining the decorative motifs, running my fingers against the flaking gilded paint, before I noticed him leaning against a particularly ornate caryatid.
"Almost life-sized," he said, "Like me."
The white chalk on his face looked patchy and faded in the harsh light.
"I'm Jimmy," he said, reaching up for a handshake. I moved towards him but stumbled on a cast-concrete putto buried in weeds.
"That's my lawn decoration," he said with a laugh that did not disturb the black arches disappearing into his bowler hat. "Reminds me that this is home. For the next few months, anyway."
He looked me up and down. I began to feel self-conscious of my paint-splattered work clothes against his pristine and impeccably pressed shirt.
"The grounds aren't open to the public yet. But you're far too ordinary to belong here."
"I'm usually up there," I said, pointing across the stretch of canvas tops shimmering with silver paint and red trim.
"The Greatest Show On Ea–," he read.
"I still have the last three letters to finish."
"So they have money to hire a sign painter but not enough to give these old wagons a fresh coat."
I told him that they pay me less that the price of admission, that I would gladly paint his wagon, but he waved me off.
"Don't," he said, peeling off a chip of paint and throwing it in the grass. "It suits me. Soon I'll be too old to live in this row of left-behinds, and then I'll be asking you for a job. I don't know about climbing up that ladder, though." Laughter left deep creases on his whitened face.
The next time I saw Jimmy was in late March, during one of their last shows of the season. I looked through the program but couldn't find his name. I found him outside the main tent, handing out balloons and trying not to tangle himself in their strings.
"I'm billed as Little Man," he said over the roars of children. "Watch me ride an elephant in the second act."

Not Quite Sauerkraut
Recipe by Catnip46
I live alone so when I buy a bag of coleslaw mix I don't even use half of it. I hate to see it go to waste so I substitute the slaw mix for the 1/2 head cabbage this recipe calls for. I use my own judgment on the amounts of the other ingredients it calls for. Easy to make and tastes great.
Top Review by Stacey in BG
This is my 2nd try at reviewing this recipe - can't believe the 1st one went *POOF*! BUT - make this - soon and often. Cooked fresh kielbasa in water - removed from skillet - used the left over water to make this - served with fried green tomatoes and the kielbas - WHAT A FEAST! I never ever would have thought to put the hot pepper in here - but so glad I did! (When I was younger I wouldn't eat cabbage - what a stupid kid!) Will make often here! THANK YOU!

Teriyaki Skirt Steak
Wow. It's been awhile since my last post. I have to admit, I have been pretty un-inspired when it comes to cooking, except, of course for St. Patrick's Day. I think I am suffering from between-season blahs, if there is such a thing. The time for winter food is definitely past, but the spring produce isn't quite available yet. But with this gorgeous, sunny weather, that is bound to change soon!
In the meantime, here is an easy recipe for Teriyaki Skirt Steak that you can enjoy any time. (If grilling outdoors is not an option, this steak can be prepared indoors on a grill pan or under the broiler.)
Teriyaki Skirt Steak
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
1 Tbsp Canola or Peanut Oil
2 Tbsp Mirin
2 1/2 Tbsp Sugar (more or less to taste)
3 Green Onions, sliced
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 Skirt Steak, 1 1/2 - 2 lbs.
More sesame oil for brushing steak
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and stir until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, canola or peanut oil, mirin and sugar in a shallow bowl. Add in the green onions, garlic and toasted sesame seeds. Add the skirt steak, and turn to coat well with the marinade. Marinade in the refrigerator, turning occasionally for 2 - 4 hours.
Heat your grill (or grill pan) over high heat. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Brush the steak with sesame oil, both for added flavor, and to prevent sticking. Grill the skirt steak to desired level of doneness, turning once during cooking. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your steak, ours took about 14 minutes total to get to medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes, slice thinly across the grain and serve.

Daniel Sturridge is doubtful for Liverpool's League Cup clash against Leeds on Tuesday, according to a report.
The England international was absent from his side's 2-0 Premier League win over Sunderland on Saturday due to a calf injury.
The Times now claim that Sturridge did not train on Sunday and "he looks a doubt for the visit of Leeds to Anfield".
The timing of Sturridge's injury is a particular concern after Philippe Coutinho was stretchered off on Saturday with his leg in a brace amid fears he has sustained ankle ligament damage.
The Times report that Coutinho will have a scan on his ankle on Monday to assess the extent of his injury and and how long he will be facing on the sidelines.
The influential playmaker was replaced by Divock Origi against Sunderland and the 21-year-old responded with a superbly taken opening goal in the 2-0 win.
Sturridge would have been more likely to have replaced Coutinho had he been fit but his injury meant he missed the opportunity to open his league account in what has been a hugely frustrating season for the 27-year-old.
The former Chelsea and Manchester City attacker has not scored in nine Premier League matches, four of which he has started.
However, Sturridge demonstrated his clinical touch with doubles in two of Liverpool's League Cup ties, against Tottenham and Burton.
His potential absence against Leeds will be a blow to manager Jurgen Klopp, who would have been expected to start the striker against the Championship side.
In other Liverpool news, the club are braced for a £40million January bid.

The length of the Visual text operated upon is now also correct.

Who would have thought the most intense race in the region would have been the fight to become your next Orange-Osceola State Attorney?
We've got a video link below to an intense exchange of words between State Attorney Lawson Lamar and his prosecutor turned opponent Jeff Ashton. Ashton of course is the attorney who prosecuted Casey Anthony and best selling author.
Lamar will be one of the many lawmakers attending the Orange County Young Republicans Hob Nob tonight at the Varsity Club at the Citrus Bowl. Others expected are Congressman Daniel Webster, John Mica, Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, and many more.
There are no Republicans in that contest and it's important to get a strong turnout from all voters in that important contest. If Ashton's campaign chooses to attend they can purchase admission and a separate straw poll will be conducted.
