Abstract: Multi-valued image data is separated into data in units of nozzle groups of the individual colors of a print head, and each divided multi-valued image data is converted into n-valued image data consisting of a plurality of bits. Based on the n-valued image data of the corresponding colors, print codes are generated and are transmitted to a printer apparatus. The printer apparatus receives the print codes, stores them in print buffers of the corresponding colors, and generates print data based on the print codes using mask patterns set in correspondence with image data of the individual colors. The print timing in each scan of the print head is determined in accordance with the significant bit position in the print data, and an image is printed on the basis of the print data by multi-pass printing.

Abstract: Barrel reactor apparatus for chemical vapor
deposition of a material on a semiconductor wafer having
a cooling system (74) which protects the semiconductor
wafers from metals contamination caused by degradation of
metallic surfaces of the barrel reactor (11). Degradation
is caused by water reacting with other substances (e.g.,
HCl) in the barrel reactor (11). The cooling system (74)
has a controller (90) which monitors the operational
state of the barrel reactor (11) and selects an operating
setpoint based on the detected operational condition. As
a result, the metallic surfaces of the barrel reactor
(11) are kept cool during operation to retard corrosive
chemical reaction rates, and kept warmer than would be
otherwise possible when the barrel reactor (11) is not
operating to prevent adsorption of water by and
condensation of water onto the metallic surfaces.

Abstract: A laser voltage probe system in which a repetitive stimulus signal is applied to an integrated circuit. A train of laser pulses is generated, and a laser pulse is picked from the train at a selected time during each repetition of the stimulus signal. The picked laser pulses are applied to a semiconductor active region of the integrated circuit which is influenced by voltage on a conductor. Photons reflected from the semiconductor active region are detected to produce a detector signal. The detector signal is sampled in synchrony with application of the laser pulses to the semiconductor active region so as to obtain samples during first gating intervals which depend upon reflected photons and noise and so as to obtain samples during second gating intervals which depend upon noise. Samples obtained during the first gating intervals are integrated with the inverse of samples obtained during the second gating intervals to produce an integrator signal representing a noise-compensated signal. The integrator signal can be compensated for pulse-to-pulse laser power variations.

Abstract: A power supply system for an apparatus (SVR) with a rechargeable battery (B) has its power supply unit (PSU) coupled to the apparatus (SVR) by a two-wire connection (PSA/SVA; PSB/SVB). The power supply unit (PSU) having a flyback converter (DCC) with a transformer (TR) which supplies the battery (B) with charging current. The converter (DCC) is stopped periodically during breaks in which the apparatus (SVR) applies a status signal (STS) to the power supply unit via the two-wire connection. The power supply unit detects the status signal by means of a status detector (STD) and depending on the meaning of the status signal it switches the converter to another value of the charging current. When the battery (B) is full, which is detected by a battery management unit (BMU), or when the charging current is too large, which is detected by a comparator (CMP) and a current-sensing resistor (R2), it is thus possible to switch from fast charging to trickle charging. By way of status signal the apparatus (SVR) supplies a voltage pulse to an auxiliary winding (Ls2) of the transformer (TR) by temporarily short-circuiting a rectifier diode (D5) in the secondary circuit by a switching transistor (T) during the current supply breaks.

Abstract: We describe an improved method for generating
sizable numbers of mature dendritic cells from
nonproliferating progenitors in human blood. The first
step or "priming" phase is a culture of T cell depleted
mononuclear cells in medium supplemented with GM-CSF and
IL-4 to produce immature dendritic cells. The second step
or "differentiation" phase requires the exposure to
dendritic cell maturation factor such as monocyte
conditioned medium. Using this two-step approach,
substantial yields are obtained. The dendritic cells
derive from this method have all the features of mature
cells. They include a stellate cell shape, nonadherence
to plastic, and very strong T cell stimulatory activity.
The mature dendritic cells produced according to this
invention are useful for activating T cells.
