IPC: B29C48/10
Filed: 1994-10-22
Abstract: Described is a film forming method for a 
polypropylene resin composition, which comprises subjecting 
a polypropylene resin composition composed of 5 
to 95 parts by weight of a syndiotactic polypropylene 
and 95 to 5 parts by weight of an isotactic polypropylene 
to air-cooled tubular film extrusion. By the 
air-cooled method which has heretofore had difficulty 
in obtaining a highly-transparent film from conventional 
isotactic polypropylene, a film having excellent 
transparency can be obtained.

Title: Web slitting machine.
Inventor: TIDLAND JOHN W
IPC: B26D1/24
Filed: 1990-01-02
Abstract: A web slitting machine (10) for cutting a web or roll of material includes an upper carriage assembly (16) joined to a lower blade holder assembly (18) by a selectively removable guide key (38) which is milled to provide a predetermined cant angle for the blade (20). The blade (20) is lowered into position by a piston (54, 58) which is rectangular and includes a torsion-resisting sleeve (60a, 60b) to prevent rotation of the piston about its vertical axis. A pneumatic control provides a plurality of control modes whereby the blade (20) may be raised and lowered with or without locking the upper carriage assembly (16) to its transverse bar (14) and vice-versa. A unique side shift adjustment is provided whereby the blade (20) may be shifted to a half-stroke position and the upper carriage (16) locked when the blade is positioned against a lower knife (22). This ensures that the pressure of the blade (20) against the knife (22) is the pressure exerted at the mid point of the stroke. A parallelogram linkage (210, 212) biased by a spring (224) can provide a shock absorber for maintaining blade/knife contact in the presence of webs moving at high speed. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0739139-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHADDHA NAVIN
IPC: H04N19/94
Filed: 1996-04-11
Abstract: A decoder is used in an end-to-end scalable video
delivery system operable over heterogeneous networks.
The decoder may software-based and computationally low
complexity, or may be implemented inexpensively in ROM
hardware. The system utilizes a scalable video
compression algorithm based on a Laplacian pyramid
decomposition to generate an embedded information stream.
At the receiving end, the decoder extracts from the
embedded stream different streams at different spatial
and temporal resolutions. Decoding a 160x120 pixel image
involves only decompressing a base layer 160x120 pixel
image. Decoding a 320x240 pixel image involves
decompressing and up-sampling (e.g., interpolating) the
base layer to yield a 320x240 pixel image to which is
added error data in a first enhancement layer following
its decompression. To obtain a 640x480 pixel image, the
decoder up-samples the up-sampled 320x240 pixel image, to
which is added error data in a second enhancement layer,
following its decompression. Because decoding requires
only additions and look-ups from a table stored in a
small (12 Kb) memory, decoding occurs in real-time.
Subjective quality of the compressed images preferably is
enhanced using perceptual distortion measures. The
system also provides joint-source channel coding
capability on heterogenous networks. The look-up table
or codebook includes the inverse perceptual weighting
(preprocessed) and the inverse transform (preprocessed).
Decoding permits the codewords within the look-up table
codebook to include preprocessed color conversion,
dithering, color palletization, edge-enhancement,
decimation, and interpolation.

Abstract: A loop controller for a fiber optic gyroscope
employs distributed data processing to compress
numerous additional useful functions into each loop
transit time. The architecture of the loop controller
(10) includes a field programmable gate array (36) for
generating variables of varying sign. In addition, the
array (36) acts to buffer the transmission of
parameters between a gyro processor (32) and an
auxiliary processor (34). The auxiliary processor (34)
updates such parameters (which do not require updating
every loop transit time) and a number of such
parameters are multiplied by values generated by the
array in operations performed by the gyro processor
(32) that replace what would otherwise require
throughput intensive test and branch operations. The
combination of the offloading of selected variable and
parameter generation and updating with programming of
the gyro processor for parallel processing permits the
loop controller (10) to perform numerous useful
operations not previously possible during a realistic
loop transit time.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to an apparatus and
a method for controlling an iris (31). The apparatus for
controlling the iris (31) includes a data detector (32),
a controller (33), and an iris controller (34) using a
feedback method, and further includes a buffer (35) which
stores the amplification ratio for making the input video
signal have a correct brightness level when control of the
iris (31) is needed or stores the amplification ratio of
1 when control of the iris (31) is not needed, and a
multiplier (36) which amplifies the input video signal by
the amplification ratio stored in the buffer (35). As a

Abstract: A process for preparing a molten silicon melt from
polycrystalline silicon for use in producing single
crystal silicon by the Czochralski method is disclosed.
Granular and chunk polycrystalline silicon are loaded
into a Czochralski crucible as a mixed charge.
Preferably, the granular polycrystalline silicon is
loaded onto the bottom, mounded toward the centerline of
the crucible, and not contacting the upper portion of the
wall of the crucible. The chunk polycrystalline silicon
is loaded onto the granular polycrystalline silicon. The
granular polycrystalline silicon and chunk
polycrystalline silicon are melted to form a silicon
melt, preferably by heating the polycrystalline silicon
from the bottom up such that a substantial portion of the
granular polycrystalline silicon is melted before a
substantial portion of the chunk polycrystalline silicon
is melted. As the melting progresses, the chunk
polycrystalline silicon exerts a downward force on the
granular polycrystalline silicon to keep the latter in
the relatively hotter bottom region of the crucible. If
the polycrystalline silicon is exposed to a purge gas,
the chunk polycrystalline silicon thermally shields the
granular polycrystalline silicon from the cooling effects
of the purge gas.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive spin valve giant magnetoresistive (GMR) transducer (48)
includes a magnetoresistive (MR)/GMR multi-layer with end portions spaced by a central
active portion. A pair of electrical lead layers (86, 88) conducts electrical bias current to
the transducer (48). Each electrical lead layer forms abutting junctions in contact with
respective end portion of the MR/GMR layers. The longitudinal bias for the MR/GMR
layers is provided by a pair of magnetic bias layers (90, 92). Each magnetic bias layer
(90, 92) is disposed in contact with a respective end portion of the MR/GMR layers. Bias
current flows into the MR/GMR layers directly through the abutting junctions, allowing
the magnetic bias to assume a different bias path through the end portions of the MR/GMR
layers. The MR/GMR transducer (48) allows both the electrical and magnetic biases to be
optimally designed, without any constraint of one restricting the other, as the two biases
often pose conflicting requirements. In addition, the direct electrical current path provides
lower electrical resistance and heat dissipation which are of substantial benefit to the
performance and reliability of the transducer (48).
