Abstract: A defect compensation method for smoothing a surface of a transparent plate by radiating an ArF excimer laser beam to a defect at the surface. The ArF excimer laser beam is radiated by use of a mask having an opening which is shaped in accordance with the shape of the defect, through a lens, or while the size of the beam at the defect is changed to a plurality of values. As the mask, an iris mask having an opening which is larger than the defect is usable. The size of the beam is changed by exchanging a plurality of masks each having an opening of a different size from one another, or by use of a mask having a plurality of openings of different sizes. Alternatively, the ArF excimer laser beam is radiated so as to have an energy which is high at a center and low at a periphery of the defect. Or, the ArF excimer laser beam has a smaller size than the size of the defect, and the transparent plate having the defect is moved so as to allow different portions of the defect to be irradiated sequentially by the ArF excimer laser beam and simultaneously the number of shots of the ArF excimer laser beam is changed.

Abstract: An apparatus compresses a digital audio input signal to provide a compressed output signal. A circuit derives plural spectral coefficients from the input signal and groups the spectral coefficients into bands. A distributing circuit (309) distributes a total available number of quantizing bits (302) between signal spectrum-dependent quantizing bits and noise spectrum-dependent quantizing bits. A circuit (303) determines a magnitude for each band, and, in response thereto, allocates the signal spectrum-dependent quantizing bits among the bands. This allocates (304) to each band a number of signal spectrum-dependent quantizing bits for quantizing each spectral coefficient in the band. A circuit determines a subjectively-allowable noise spectrum and, in response thereto, allocates (305) the noise spectrum-dependent quantizing bits among the bands. This allocates to each band a number of noise spectrum-dependent quantizing bits for quantizing each spectral coefficient in the band. A quantizing circuit quantizes the spectral coefficients in each band using a total number of quantizing bits determined by summing the number of signal spectrum-dependent quantizing bits allocated to the band and the number of noise spectrum-dependent quantizing bits allocated to the band. The distribution circuit (309) sets the distribution ratio in response to a circuit (308) that calculates the smoothness of the spectrum of the input signal. In this manner, optimum quantizing for both musical signals and single sine wave signals are given by a single processing operation, without the need to repeatedly adjust the quantizing bit allocation.

Abstract: A sheet path velocity profile signature analysis apparatus which utilizes output from various idler rolls (82) throughout the machine paper path to detect abnormalities. The idler rolls (82) are in frictional contact with device rolls (84) defining therewith a nip through which individual sheets pass. The idler rolls (82) are coupled to an encoder (86) for generating a signal as a function of the rotational speed of the idler rolls (82). The constantly monitored and instantaneous velocity readings are compared with a base line velocity signature established at the factory. If the constantly monitored velocity profile is not within the pre-established operating parameters as set at the factory, automatic machine adjustment procedures are initiated and/or automatic service alerts are issued. The ability to constantly monitor the velocity profile throughout the machine enables preventative maintenance to occur and worn drive rolls, idler rolls and other transport devices can be replaced before catastrophic failure.

Abstract: A transducer assembly (10) has passive end regions (26) separated by a central active region (20). Layers of a first biasing material (14) and a nonmagnetic decoupling spacer material (16) are deposited on a substrate (12), then covered by a mask (18) only in the central region. By etching or ion milling, those parts of the layers not covered by the mask are removed to define a transverse biasing means in the central region and define the passive end regions. With the same mask remaining in place, a conductive material (22) and exchange layer (24) comprising a second biasing material are deposited over all regions. The mask is removed to define and provide conductor leads and longitudinal biasing means only in the end regions. MR material is thereafter deposited as a continuous thin film (28) in direct contact with the central region containing the transverse biasing means and in direct contact with the end regions containing the longitudinal biasing means. This fabrication technique has no critical etching steps requiring stopping at or near a particular interface and the MR film provides a continuous platform for carrying current without butted junctions in the current path.
