Abstract: A system and method for determining quantization level versus bit-rate characteristics of raw video signals in video frames during a pre-encoding phase for video technologies such as MPEG and MPEG-2. During a pre-encoding phase, various quantization levels are assigned to various parts of a frame, and the frame is then pre-encoded to determine a bit-rate for each quantization level used in the pre-encoding phase. Depending on the embodiment, quantization levels are assigned in one of many ways: checkerboard style, block style or any other distribution that avoids statistical anomalies. The method and system repeat the pre-encoding for plural frames, recording all quantization level versus bit-rate statistics on a frame by frame basis. These statistics are then used during encoding or re-encoding of a digital video to control the number of bits allocated to one segment of the digital video as compared to another segment, based on a target quality and target storage size for each segment. The resulting encoded digital video is stored on a digital storage medium, such as a compact disc.

Abstract: An optical cross-connect system is provided with M fixed wavelength light sources and external modulators corresponding to respective optical paths, serving as light sources for wavelength conversion devices corresponded to M x N optical paths. By means of electrical signals for the converted optical signals canied on the M x N optical paths, CW lights input to the external modulators from the respective light sources are modulated, wavelength converted and then output. Accompanying this wavelength conversion, wavelength multiplexed light sources which can select lights from a plurality of fixed wavelength light sources and output to predetermined output ports, are used for the light sources of the plurality of wavelength conversion devices of the cross-connect system. In this way, the light sources of a plurality of wavelength conversion sections are commonalized using a fixed wavelength light source. As a result wavelength multiplexed light sources which can respectively output lights of optional wavelengths to a plurality of output ports using a plurality of fixed wavelength light sources are realized. Moreover, by using such wavelength division multiplexed communication light sources, then a highly realizable and economical optical cross-connect system is possible.

Abstract: An instruction processor system for decoding compound instructions created
from a series of base instructions of a scalar machine, the processor generating
a series of compound instructions with an instruction format text having
appended control bits in the instruction format text enabling the execution of
the compound instruction format text in said instruction processor with a
compounding facility which fetches and decodes compound instructions
which can be executed as compounded and single instructions by the arithmetic
and logic units of the instruction processor while preserving intact the
scalar execution of the base instructions of a scalar machine which were originally
in storage. The system nullifies any execution of a member instruction
unit of a compound instruction upon occurrence of possible conditions,
such as branch, which would affect the correctness of recording results of
execution of the member instruction unit portion based upon the interrelationship
of member units of the compound instruction with other instructions.
The resultant series of compounded instructions generally executes in a
faster manner than the original format which is preserved due to the parallel
nature of the compounded instruction stream which is executed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing spectacles by obtaining
accurate frame shape information without performing a
frame shape measurement in the spectacle store. In
this method, frame shape information is first obtained
after a spectacle frame is manufactured in a factory.
Moreover, frame-related information, which includes the
obtained frame shape information, or readout
information, according to which this frame-related
information is read out, is preliminarily added to the
spectacle frame. Thereafter, in a spectacle store, the
frame-related information is read from the spectacle
itself or from a storage unit or the like by using the
information added to the spectacle frame as a key.
Thus, frame shape information, which is needed when
obtaining lens processing information, is obtained
therein. The present invention further provides a
spectacle frame for use in this method.

Abstract: An automatic clutch controller (60) for a vehicle that reduces the oscillatory response to clutch engagement. The automatic clutch controller (60) receives inputs from a throttle position sensor (28), an engine speed sensor (13) and a transmission input speed sensor (31) and develops a clutch actuation signal controlling a clutch actuator (27) from disengaged to fully engaged. The clutch engagement signal at least partially engages the friction clutch (20) in a manner to cause the measured transmission input speed to asymptotically approach engine speed employing an approximate inverse model of this oscillatory response. The automatic clutch controller (60) develops a slip reference signal as a function of throttle position and engine speed and compares it to actual slip. The controller (60) includes a PID regulator (68) responsive to the difference of slip and slip reference, a prefilter (70) operating on the resulting PID signal, and a compensator (74) constructed to reduce the need for detailed particularization for individual vehicles or vehicle models by reducing the system closed loop sensitivity to vehicle parameter variations.

Abstract: A charged particle beam exposure method, wherein a charged particle beam is shaped based on pattern data and the shaped charged particle beam is irradiated to a desired location on a sample, the method comprises the steps of: introducing ozone gas into a chamber through which the charged particle beam is passed, shaped and deflected so as to be irradiated to the desired location; and maintaining the ozone gas concentration in the chamber so that the concentration downstream along the beam is higher than the concentration upstream along the beam. A charge-up drift due to a contamination material from a resist on a wafer can be avoided by the ozone self cleaning. The ozone oxidation does not occure at the upstream chamber where lower ozone consentration but lower contamination.

Abstract: The absorbent article of the present invention
comprises an inner sheet and one outer sheet and the other
outer sheet. The one outer sheet is of a fine interstice,
while the other outer sheet is fluid permeable. Through
crepe processing, a great number of recesses are formed on
an absorbent sheet as the inner sheet. A highly absorbent
polymers such as SAP are charged in the recesses. Then, the
one outer sheet adheres to the face on the opening side of
the recesses on the inner sheet, while the other outer sheet
adheres to the face on the opposite side of the inner sheet.
The absorbent article is arranged in a disposable diaper and
a sanitary napkin, while the other outer sheet is positioned
toward the side of fluid absorption. When fluid is spotted
on the absorbent article, the fluid passes through the other
outer sheet and is then spotted on the inner sheet and the
SAP. Because the crepe wrinkles are elongated and extended
when the inner sheet absorbs fluid, the recesses are
enlarged. Thus, the recesses are enlarged, depending on the
swelling of the SAP. Thus, the SAP are consistently at a
state to be charged in the recesses on the inner sheet.
Because the swelling of the SAP is never prevented,
furthermore, the absorbent article can be made highly
absorbable of a slim type.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a process for metallization of
composite and non-composite materials. In particular, the present invention
relates to a process for film transfer metallization in which a carrier film,
preferably comprised of a polymeric material, is coated with a metal layer on
one side, deposited onto a substrate such that the metal layer is not in contact
with the substrate, transferred directly to a component material, and then cured
to consolidate and transfer the metal layer to the component material. The
cured carrier film may be removed or stripped from the cured component
material as desired. The component material may be a composite material or a
non-composite material. With non-composite components, the process
includes the step of applying an adhesive layer to the metallized carrier film.
Embodiments of the process of the present invention may include the use of a
pressure sensitive adhesive, and the steps of embossing or etching the carrier
film with patterns, such as holographic patterns, before metallizing the carrier
film.
