Title: Syst mes d'imagerie   surface d'onde cod e
Inventor: DOWSKI EDWARD RAYMOND JR
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 2001-11-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un modèle amélioré d'appareil d'imagerie à surface d'onde codée (100, 800, 1100) ainsi que les procédés correspondants, faisant intervenir des optiques (102, 802, 1102), un codage de surface d'onde (104, 806, 1110), une détection (106), et un traitement (112, 810, 1112) de l'image détectée. Les optiques sont construites et agencées de façon à présenter la caractéristique de faire intercepter par la raie transversale des courbes provenant de lignes sensiblement rectilignes et inclinées. Le codage de surface d'onde corrige quantité d'aberrations connues et inconnues assimilables à des sorties du champ focal, du seul fait qu'il y a modification de la fonction de transfert optique par l'appareil d'imagerie d'une façon telle que cette fonction de transfert optique modifiée devient sensiblement insensible aux aberrations. Un traitement de seconde intention permet alors de supprimer les effets du codage, à l'exception de l'invariance concernant les aberrations, ce qui donne des images nettes.

IPC: H01L29/43
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: A silicide having variable internal metal concentration
tuned to surface conditions at the interface between the
silicide and adjoining layers is employed within an integrated
circuit. Higher silicon/metal (silicon-rich) ratios are
employed near the interfaces to adjoining layers to reduce
lattice mismatch with underlying polysilicon or overlying
oxide, thereby reducing stress and the likelihood of
delamination. A lower silicon/metal ratio is employed within
an internal region of the silicide, reducing resistivity. The
variable silicon/metal ratio is achieved by controlling
reactant gas concentrations or flow rates during deposition of
the silicide. Thinner silicides with less likelihood of
delamination or metal oxidation may thus be formed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for cataloging symbolic data for use in
performance analysis of computer programs is provided. The apparatus and
method stores symbolic data for loaded modules during or shortly after a
performance trace and utilizes the stored symbolic data when performing a
performance analysis at a later time. A merged symbol file is generated
for a computer program, or application, under trace. The merged symbol file
contains information useful in performing symbolic resolution of address
information in trace files for each instance of a module. During post
processing of the trace information generated by a performance trace of a
computer program, symbolic information stored in the merged symbol file is
compared to the trace information stored in the trace file. The correct
symbolic information in the merged symbol file for loaded modules is
identified based a number of validating criteria. The correct symbolic
information for the loaded modules may then be stored as an indexed
database that is used to resolve address information into corresponding
symbolic information when providing the trace information to a display for
use by a user.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a system and method for creation of an optimized depth map through iterative blending of a plurality of hypothetical depth maps in a Bayesian framework of probabilities. The system begins with an estimate of a depth map for a reference image, the estimated depth map becoming the current depth map. The system also has available to it a plurality of hypothetical depth maps of the reference image, derived from any of several known depth map generation methods and algorithms. The current depth map and each hypothetical depth map are compared iteratively, a pixel or pixel pair at a time, relying on minimizing reprojection and discontinuity energies through a graph cut process within a Bayesian probability framework to calculate the optimum assignment of depth map values to the reference image pixels. In this process, the two depth maps are blended into a depth map that is more representative of the reference image, with the blended depth map becoming the new, current depth map. The optimization or blending process terminates when the differences between depth map values for each pixel or each group of pixels reach a desired minimum.
