Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: Memory is divided into a plurality of banks to store software
which is upgraded one bank at a time. By doing so, a memory with
the same size as one bank is only needed as the temporary storage
used when performing an upgrade. The terminal device only needs
a memory that is "1+1/n" times as large as a total software when
there are n banks, while a conventional terminal device needs a
memory that is twice as large as the total software. Two loader
programs are stored in different banks as a master loader program
used for download processing and a backup loader program. On
receiving a new loader program, one loader program is used to
write the new loader program over the other loader program so as
to upgrade the loader program. The backup loader program is
activated when the new loader program is to be written over the
master loader program.

Title: Image forming device
Inventor: TAKESUE YUICHIRO
IPC: G03G21/14
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: An image forming device includes an optical system for
forming an electrostatic latent image on a photosensitive body
by exposure of an original in light, a development system for
developing the electrostatic latent image, and a control system
for controlling the optical system and the development system.
The control system detects the concentration of a toner in a
developing agent tank, calculating a difference between the
detected toner concentration and a predetermined toner
concentration, replenishing the toner to the developing agent
tank until the detected toner concentration makes a recovery
to the predetermined toner concentration, clocking a time
period for the recovery and controlling at least one of the
amount of the exposure light and the amount of the toner adhering
to a photosensitive body based on the clocked time period for
the recovery.

IPC: H04N19/33
Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: Hierarchical coding may be performed without the need
to employ a circuit for a line delay, in addition to a
memory for storing an image. An address providing circuit
(1) provides a 9-bit horizontal address and a 9-bit
vertical address to a first layer memory (2) while also
providing, to a second layer memory (3), the eight higher
order bits of the horizontal address and the vertical
address without the remaining least significant bits. As
a result, at the timing that each of the pixels in the
first layer is written on each of addresses (2s,2t),
(2s+1,2t), (2s,2t+1) and (2s+1,2t+1) in the first layer
memory (2), the same address (s,t) in the second layer
memory (3) is accessed. Taking advantage of this, a
read-modify-write circuit (5) determines the sum of the
storage values at the addresses (2s,2t), (2s+1,2t),
(2s,2t+1), and (2s+1,2t+1) in the first layer memory (2)
and writes the sum on to the address (s,t) in the second
layer memory (3).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for channel performance equalization in wavelength
division multiplexed (WDM) systems is disclosed. Performance of the channels is
estimated from optical power measurements of each signal transmitted by the channels.
The measurements are taken at the inputs of optical amplifiers in the transmission path of
the system. The channels are equalized by adjusting the optical power of the channel
transmitters. The method is applicable to point-to-point networks as well as more
complex network configurations such as those having an add-drop multiplexer (ADM)
for inserting and extracting channels from the transmission path. The method can
compensate for signals having different bit rates by applying an offset to the amount of
optical power adjustment of the channel transmitters. Furthermore, if different types of
optical amplifiers are used in the transmission path, the method can accommodate
different noise characteristics of the amplifiers by using their noise figures in determining
the amount of optical power adjustment of the transmitters that is required to equalize
channel performance.

Abstract: A method for processing a semiconductor substrate
to form a denuded zone therein. The method includes
providing a semiconductor substrate having an oxygen
concentration in a region of the substrate adjacent to a
surface of such substrate. A trench is formed in the
surface of the substrate. Subsequent to the formation of
the trench, reducing the oxygen concentration within the
region. 
The oxygen reducing comprises heating the substrate to
reduce the oxygen concentration within the region. The
trench forming comprises forming the trench through the
region and the oxygen reducing comprises reducing the
oxygen concentration in a portion of the region below a
bottom portion of the trench. The oxygen reducing step
comprises heating the substrate to reduce the oxygen
concentration within the portion of the region below the
bottom portion of the trench. Reducing the oxygen
concentration may first take place within a first portion
of the region prior to formation of the trench, such
first portion of the region being disposed contiguous to
the substrate. With such method, the sidewalls and
bottom portion of the trench are exposed to the oxygen
reduction process to thereby forming a denuded zone
directly adjacent to (i.e., contiguous to) such sidewalls
and bottom portion thereby producing a topography aligned
DZ (i.e., the DZ follows the profile of the trench).

Abstract: A system and method allow for the periodic re-configuring of broadcast
receivers to control their storage of responses to interactive applications during a polling
period. A broadcast server maintains a database of interactive applications each
preferably associated with a program that will be broadcast. When the program is
broadcast, an interactive application is inserted into the broadcast feed and delivered to
a broadcast receiver such as a television set-top box. The broadcast receiver includes a
processor, memory, and other hardware necessary to execute the interactive application.
When executed, the interactive application generates a response which is transmitted to
a local data center at, for example, the cable head-end. Generated responses have
specific types. To manage the number and capacity of the system to receive responses,
priority values are assigned to responses of different types. The priority values are
based on the value of the responses to the provider of the interactive application, and
established with respect to total response capacity, and an estimated response volume
during a polling period. These priority values are assigned or updated preferably once
each polling period, and transmitted to and stored in the broadcast receivers. Each
broadcast receiver uses the priority value assignments to determine if it will execute and
store responses for a currently received interactive application, or reserve memory
capacity for higher priority responses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a parallel memory scheduler (1120) for
execution on a high speed highly parallel multiprocessor architecture (10).
The operating system software provides intelligence and efficiency in
swapping out process images to facilitate swapping in another process. The
splitting and coalescing of data segments are used to fit segments into current
free memory (50) even though a single contiguous space of sufficient size does
not exist. Mapping these splits through data control register sets (80) retains
the user's contiguous view of the address space. The existence of dual images
(14, 70) and partial swapping allows efficient, high speed swapping.
Candidates for swap (150, 160, 170) out are chosen in an intelligent fashion,
selecting only those candidates which will most efficiently allow the swapin of
another process.

Abstract: Past pistons have been susceptible to
reduced longevity due to increased forces of
combustion thereon during operating cycles of an
engine. The present two piece unitary piston (30)
increases the longevity of pistons used with increased
forces of combustion. For example, a head member (42)
has a crown portion (60) defining a ring band portion
(66) having a bottom surface (70) and a support
portion (90). And, a skirt member (44) defines a ring
band support surface (160) and a mating portion (149).
The head member (42) and the skirt member (44) have a
preestablished material strength being generally the
same. The head member (42) and the skirt member (44)
are joined at an interface of the support portion (90)
and the mating portion (149) by an interference fit
and are joined at the interface of the bottom surface
(70) and the ring band support surface (160) by a
weld. The force of combustion acting on the crown
portion (60) is resisted by the ring band support
surface (160) being in contacting relationship with
the bottom surface (70). Thus, the skirt member (44)
structure supports and resists the bending moment of
the combustion forces on the head member (42).
