Patent EP-0887770-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BIER ERIC A
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A computerized two-dimensional illustration system composes an image
of a scene with layered synthetic graphics filters or lenses. The scene is defined
by an ordered list of shapes. Some of the shapes in the ordered list of shapes are
lenses. Each lens is a shape that has a fill color which is an operator rather than
a constant. The operator of a selected lens performs a filtering function on the
shapes ordered below it in the list of shapes. To compose a selected lens in the
scene, the system computes an under-list of shapes for the selected lens. The
under-list of shapes identifies shapes in the ordered list of shapes to which the
filtering function of the selected lens may apply. After computing the under-list
for a selected lens, the system freezes the shapes in the under-list and applies the
filtering function of the selected lens to the shapes in the under-list. When a lens
is frozen, it is replaced with a list of shapes that are formed independently of
other shapes in the list of shapes. The scope of operation of the selected lens can
be reduced by grouping the selected lens with other shapes in the scene as either
a lens-in cluster or a lens-out cluster. A lens-in cluster limits the scope of
operation of the selected lens by operating on only those shapes in the cluster,
while a lens-out cluster limits the scope of operation of the lens by operating on
only those shapes outside the cluster. As a result of limiting the scope of
operation, grouping lenses with other objects in a scene enables the creation of
different visual effects. In addition, depending on whether a lens is grouped as a
lens-in or a lens-out cluster, the computed under-list of the selected lens may have
a reduced number of shapes, thereby reducing the computational complexity of
composing an image of the scene.

Abstract: A technique for forming integrated circuit device contacts includes the
formation of nitride spacers along side gate electrodes for LDD definition. In
addition, a nitride cap layer is formed over the gate electrodes. When a contact
opening is formed through the interlevel oxide dielectric, the nitride cap and sidewall
spacers protect the gate electrode from damage and shorting. A highly doped poly
plug is formed in the opening to make contact to the underlying substrate.
Metalization is formed over the poly plug in the usual manner.

Abstract: A 6-high cold rolling mill. The mill is of the type having free floating, side-supported
upper and lower work rolls, chock mounted upper and lower intermediate
rolls and upper and lower back up rolls. Vertically acting hydraulic cylinders are
provided for intermediate roll balancing, bending, counterbalancing and vertically
shifting the upper and lower intermediate rolls toward and away from each other.
Horizontal cylinders provide axial shifting of the intermediate rolls and two cylinder
actuated supports are provided to lift the upper work roll. All of these cylinders are
mounted on the mill housing and no hydraulic disconnection and reconnection is
required for replacement of the intermediate rolls and/or the work rolls. Each
intermediate roll assembly supports between its chocks a pair of side support
assemblies for the work rolls. Lubrication to the intermediate roll chocks and side
support assemblies is made by spring loaded lubrication connections mounted on the
front and rear doors of the mill housing. Movement of the upper and lower
intermediate roll chocks away from each other automatically disconnects the
lubrication connections from the chocks. Movement of the upper and lower
intermediate roll chocks toward each other automatically reconnects the lubrication
connections to the chocks.

Abstract: A spindle protective structure capable of reliably detecting coolant
leakage from a jointing device and protecting a spindle. A flow sensor (13) is
provided in the line of a drain pipe (6) for discharging coolant leaking from the
rotary joint (3), so that an alarm is made when the flow of coolant in the drain
pipe exceeds a predetermined value. Since the coolant leaking from the
jointing device is detected directly and an alarm is outputted, coolant leakage
can be found out more quickly than by observing visually whether the flow
of coolant jetting from a tip of a tool (5) is normal or not.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique destinée à la production de pannes de fer à souder, qui comporte l'étape consistant à couper du fil métallique plaqué en plusieurs segments, chaque segment comportant un matériau d'âme (tel que du cuivre) et une couche extérieure de protection (telle que de l'acier inoxydable, Ni, Cr, ou un alliage de ceux-ci). Chaque segment de fil métallique plaqué est ensuite façonné en une panne de fer à souder par un procédé d'étirement à chaud ou à froid, ou par un autre procédé de formage de métaux. Dans la panne de fer finie, la couche extérieure de protection est placée à l'arrière de la surface de travail de la panne, et sert à réduire la corrosion de la panne et à améliorer la conductivité électrique entre la panne et la poignée de fer à souder. Un élément chauffant peut être formé à une extrémité de la panne de fer à souder à partir du même segment de fil métallique plaqué utilisé pour produire la panne elle-même, ce qui permet d'assurer de bonnes propriétés de transfert de chaleur entre l'élément chauffant et la panne. L'invention concerne également une technique servant à former une couche extérieure de protection sur la surface de travail de la panne. Cette technique comporte l'étape consistant à découper des garnitures à partir d'une bande ou une feuille mince d'un matériau de protection, tel du fer. Plus spécifiquement, les garnitures sont découpées dans la feuille à l'aide d'une matrice dotée d'une forme ressemblant à la forme de la surface de travail de la panne à souder. Les garnitures ainsi formées sont ensuite insérées sur les extrémités des pannes, et fixées à celles-ci par application d'un matériau de brasage sur la garniture formée ou sur la bande de matériau avant formation de la garniture.

Abstract: An explosion vent (10) for covering an opening (12) in an enclosure (14) subject to the build-up of pressure is disclosed. The explosion vent includes a peripheral flange (16) configured for attachment to the enclosure around the opening, a pressure relief panel (18) positioned within and hingedly connected to the flange, and a plurality of connectors or rupture tab assemblies (19) connecting the unhinged portion of the pressure relief panel to the flange. The connectors break when the enclosure is subjected to pressure build-up for permitting the panel to shift outwardly from the enclosure for uncovering the opening in the enclosure. Rivets (72) are provided for attaching the rupture tab assemblies (19) to the pressure relief panel (18) which function to provide additional panel support and minimize localized bending of the rupture tabs (21) forming a part of assemblies (19) when the explosion vent is subjected to vacuum conditions, but do not interfere with rupture of the tabs and opening of the panel at a relatively low burst pressure. The pressure relief panel has a plurality of domed sections (46,48,50,52) presenting at least one valley defining bridge (54,56,58) therebetween. The domed sections and bridges cooperate to stiffen the panel so that it more uniformly distributes force on the connectors, causing all of the connectors to break at approximately the same time so that the panel more consistently opens at a selected burst pressure level.

Abstract: A system for learning a mapping between time-varying
signals is used to drive facial animation
directly from speech, without laborious voice track
analysis. The system learns dynamical models of
facial and vocal action from observations of a face
and the facial gestures made while speaking. Instead
of depending on heuristic intermediate representations
such as phonemes or visemes, the system trains
hidden Markov models to obtain its own optimal representation
of vocal and facial action. An entropy-minimizing
training technique using an entropic prior
ensures that these models contain sufficient
dynamical information to synthesize realistic facial
motion to accompany new vocal performances. In addition,
they can make optimal use of context to handle
ambiguity and relatively long-lasting facial co-articulation
effects. The output of the system is a
sequence of facial control parameters suitable for
driving a variety of different kinds of animation
ranging from warped photorealistic images to 3D cartoon
characters.

Abstract: The present invention provides a parallel memory scheduler (1120) for execution on a high speed highly parallel multiprocessor architecture (10). The operating system software provides intelligence and efficiency in swapping out process images to facilitate swapping in another process. The splitting and coalescing of data segments are used to fit segments into current free memory (50) even though a single contiguous space of sufficient size does not exist. Mapping these splits through data control register sets (80) retains the user's contiguous view of the address space. The existence of dual images (14, 70) and partial swapping allows efficient, high speed swapping. Candidates for swap (150, 160, 170) out are chosen in an intelligent fashion, selecting only those candidates which will most efficiently allow the swapin of another process.

Abstract: A method of controlling the injection rate and injection pressure of an
electromagnetic fuel injector assembly having a pressure balanced control valve
including a solenoid and a valve member subject to the pressures developed by the
injector and actuated by the solenoid to close the valve member against the biasing force
of a spring. The control valve is supported in a valve bore in the injector body. The
valve bore includes a relieved portion. The method includes the step of providing a first
level of current to the solenoid for moving the valve member from an open to a closed
position allowing the pressure in the injector to rise, providing a reduced level of current
to the solenoid at preselected times during the injector event to unbalance the forces
acting on the valve member thereby slightly unseating the valve member to regulate the
injection pressure and injection rate of the fuel injector and ending current to the solenoid
thereby moving the valve member to its open position.
