Abstract: The processor system includes a processor unit (1) for executing instructions stored in a program memory (13), and a data memory (14). Data are moved between the data memory (14) and a temporary memory unit (5,16) by the processor unit at existence of a corresponding data move instruction in the program memory. The data move instruction is defined in such way, that an amount (n) of the data units to be moved in form of a data block (15), is determined through the instruction. The processor unit is designed in such way, that it moves a corresponding amount of data units between the data memory and the temporary memory unit.

Abstract: A gas turbine nozzle segment (10) has outer and inner bands (12, 14) and vanes (16) therebetween. Each band includes a side wall (40), a cover (20) and an impingement plate (22) between the cover and nozzle wall defining two cavities (24, 26) on opposite sides of the impingement plate. Cooling steam is supplied to one cavity (24) for flow through apertures (30) of the impingement plate to cool the nozzle wall. The side wall of the band and inturned flange define with the nozzle wall an undercut region (44). Slots (60) are formed through the inturned flange along the nozzle side wall. A plate (58) having through-apertures extending between opposite edges thereof is disposed in each slot, the slots and plates being angled such that the cooling medium exiting the apertures in the second cavity lie close to the side wall for focusing and targeting cooling medium onto the side wall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer which is processed from the melt by fusion granulation and which consists essentially of monomer units of 78 to 95 wt. % tetrafluoroethylene, 5 to 22 wt. % hexafluoropropene and not more than 3 mol % fluorinated monomers that can be copolymerised with a mixture of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropene. Said copolymer has a molar ratio of weight average to number average of less than 2, has less than 80 unstable terminal groups per 1x10<6> carbon atoms and is produced by aqueous emulsion polymerisation. The copolymer is coagulated after polymerisation and then agglomerated. The agglomerate is isolated and dried to form a free flowing product, partial sintering being prevented. Said product is brought into contact with an effective amount of fluorine at a temperature between 60  DEG C and the preliminary sintering temperature, whereby unstable terminal groups are converted into stable terminal groups. The fusion granulate is advantageously treated with ammonia or a compound which liberates ammonia, in water. The product can be used for coating wires and cables.

Abstract: A workpiece is processed in a chamber by striking a plasma in the chamber, treating the workpiece by cyclically adjusting the processing parameters between at least a first step having a first set of processing parameters and a second step having a second set of process parameters, wherein the plasma is stabilized during the transition between the first and second steps. These steps may comprise cyclic etch and deposition steps. One possibility for stabilizing the plasma is by matching the impedance of the plasma to the impedance of the power supply which provides energy to the plasma, by means of a matching unit which can be controlled in a variety of ways depending upon the step type or time during the step. Another possibility is to prevent or reduce substantially variation in the pressure in the chamber between the first and second steps.

Abstract: A piezoelectric thin film sensor array is used to scan and capture biometric data, for example, a fingerprint image. In one embodiment, a multi-layer structure includes a PVDF layer in between two conductor grids arranged orthogonally to one another. Urethane can be added to one side where a finger is placed. A foam substrate can be used as a support. In one feature, the PVDF, and grids can be peeled off like a label for easy replacement. Multiplexers are switched to scan the sensor. A single pixel or a group of pixels can be detected and output to an image memory. The presence of a fingerprint ridge is detected by virtue of a ring-down oscillation that arises from reflection when an electric field is applied to the piezoelectric thin film sensor array at a pixel in contact with the fingerprint ridge. For example, such a ring-down value associated with a fingerprint ridge can be detected at about 150 ns. (or 5 cycles at 30 MHZ). Other reflections indicative of additional biometrics (e.g. from tissue, blood, bone, fingernail, etc.) can also be detected. A Doppler effect due to reflections from circulating blood can also be detected. Such a Doppler effect can provide further information about direction and speed of blood circulation. An instantaneous pyroelectric effect can also be detected to indicate a live finger presence.
