Abstract: An 8 x 8 discrete cosine transformation (8 x 8 DCT) system with minimum multiplications, without a reduced accuracy of calculation, and operable at a high speed, and an 8 x 8 IDCT system are disclosed. The transformation matrices for an 8 x 8 DCT are factorized into a constant matrix [Q] and a matrix [R], and the relationship between the original input data [X] and the output matrix data [C] can be defined by [C] = 1/2·[R] [Q] [X]. The matrix [Q] consists of 0, 1, and -1, while the matrix [R] consists of irrational numbers defined by the 8 x 8 DCT. The computation of the constant matrix [Q] to the matrix data [X] can be realized by an addition and subtraction operation, while multiplication is performed just for the computation of the matrix [R]. The addition and subtraction circuit (2) performs a computation between [X] and [Q], while the multiplication and addition circuit (4) performs a computation between the result of computation of the addition and subtraction circuit (2) and the matrix [R]. Also, an 8 x 8 IDCT performs the computation inverse to the 8 x 8 DCT.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating language translation of text fields within an interactive software application. A control parameter is associated with each text field within an interactive software application prior to translation and utilized to automatically extract each text field for translation and to reinsert a translated text field thereafter. In certain interactive software applications which utilize fixed template user-interface structures, such as dialog boxes or menu templates, the architecture will not permit captions or menu pulldown controls to be identified within the template. In such applications, an additional artificial control parameter is included within the template which contains an identifier of the text field for the caption or menu pulldown control. Thereafter, the control parameters may be utilized to automatically extract text fields for translation. An attempted automatic extraction of text fields for translation in an application, which includes dialog boxes or menu templates, will result in an error message in the absence of the required artificial control parameter.

Abstract: A trench capacitor DRAM cell with Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), a self-aligned buried strap and the method of making the cell. A trench capacitor is defined in a substrate. The trench capacitor's polysilicon (poly) plate is recessed below the surface of the substrate and the trench sidewalls are exposed above the poly. A doped poly layer is deposited over the surface contacting both the sidewall and the trench capacitor's poly plate. Horizontal portions of the poly layer are removed either through chem-mech polishing or Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). A shallow trench is formed, removing one formerly exposed trench sidewall and a portion of the trench capacitor's poly plate in order to isolate the DRAM cell from adjacent cells. The remaining poly strap, along the trench sidewall contacting the poly plate, is self aligned to contact the source of the DRAM Pass gate Field Effect Transistor (FET). After the shallow trench is filled with oxide, FET's are formed on the substrate, completing the cell. In an alternate embodiment, instead of recessing the poly plate, a shallow trench is formed spanning the entire width of the trench capacitor. The deposited polysilicon is selectively removed, having straps that strap the poly plate to the shallow trench sidewall.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing and using a dialysis collection bag, and the dialysis collection bag itself. A collection bag is fabricated with a sterilization tablet therein, having a soluble coating over a sterilization agent. When the collection bag is filled with used dialysis solution at the completion of the dialysis therapy, the soluble coating dissolves over a known period of time such as about 30 minutes. The delayed dissolution allows time to take a specimen sample of the unadulterated used dialysis solution. When the dissolution of the coating is completed, the tablet releases the sterilization agent to sterilize the used dialysis solution, so that pathogens are destroyed to prevent the transmission of disease in the event the collection bag is disposed of improperly.

Abstract: A method in a radio communications system of measuring signal quality from a remote unit having a voice operated transmitter (VOX) to execute a handoff of the remote unit. The signal quality of a signal received from the remote unit at a fixed station is measured (422,424,426,428,452,454,456,458) to determine whether a handoff is to be conducted based upon said signal quality of the signal received from the remote unit. If so required, a handoff request is then sent from the fixed station to at least one surrounding fixed station. In response thereto, an audit request is transmitted (438) to the remote unit from said fixed station. In response to said audit request, a response signal (503) is transmitted at the remote unit for a predetermined period of time. A measurement of signal quality of said response signal is made (454,456,458) from said remote unit after said audit request transmission at the at least one surrounding fixed station. The remote unit is then handed-off from the fixed station to the at least one surrounding fixed station.

Abstract: A document copier (1), having a copier operation that includes image editing for inputting data of a production run, which data both specifies special features and defines areas (P₁ and P₂) of an original document (56) for treatment by the special features. An interrupt mode interrupts the image editing and the image forming so that a job of higher priority can be processed. The special features specifying data and the area defining data of a production run are stored only for areas which are completely defined at the time of interrupt of the copier operation. The higher priority job is limited to a single image frame such that duplex copies and multi-color copies which require more than one image frame to produce are excluded. A job image buffer (9) capable of holding a predetermined amount of data is provided. The interrupt operation is disabled when there is insufficient space in the job image buffer for storing the data for the higher priority job. Data for the higher priority job is erased from the job image buffer after only one copy is produced, whereby multiple copies of said higher priority job cannot be produced.
