Abstract: The object of this invention is to propose a manufacturing method for manufacturing component part for the variable capacity turbine, and the structure of the nozzle driving member, which will simplify the structure of the component part for the adjustable nozzle mechanism, the manufacturing work which results in lowering the manufacturing count and cost, as well as the number of component part, and in lightening the weight of the variable capacity turbine. In order to manufacture the component part for a radial-flow variable capacity turbine, in which the actuating gas is forced to flow from a spiral scroll formed in the turbine casing to a turbine rotor in a radial direction, through multiple nozzle vanes of which the angle is adjustable by an adjustable nozzle mechanism, for rotating the turbine rotor, this manufacturing method according to this invention is distinguished by the configuration in which a column shaped connecting pin is formed as a single structure with a plate member by a pressing, or a precision molding by partially forcing the surface of the plate member to protrude in a column shape.

Abstract: A convolutional interleaver performs convolutional
interleaving for a data group in which the input/output data
width is b bits, the depth, i.e., the number of data in bit width
units, is m, the number of channels is n, and the maximum channel
number is C (n = integer satisfying the relation 0≦n≦C, b,m,C =
natural numbers). This interleaver includes a delay unit
comprising first and second delay units and performing a delay of
nT for data of the n-th channel (T = a predetermined amount of
delay, T>0). The first delay unit performs a delay of iS (S = a
predetermined amount of delay, 0<S≦T) for the i-th group amongst
groups into which all the channels are grouped such that each
group comprises at most k channels, and the second delay unit
performs a delay equivalent to a deficiency in the delay of the
first delay unit for the delay of nT to be given to the data of
the n-th channel. Therefore, delays to be commonly generated
between channels in each group are generated together by the
first delay unit, and delays including differences in delays
between the channels are individually generated by the second
delay unit, whereby control and structure of the delay means can
be simplified.

IPC: H04N1/405

Abstract: A method of controlling exposure of a medium comprises the step
of changing an emission level of a radiation source from a first power to a second
power. The second power emits for less time than required by an irradiance
profile to traverse a full-width at half maximum of the irradiance profile projected
onto the medium along a direction of relative motion between the irradiance
profile and the medium. The emission level changes to the first power and emits
for less time than required by the irradiance profile to traverse the full-width at
half maximum of the irradiance profile projected onto the medium along the
direction of relative motion between the irradiance profile and the medium, then
the emission level changes to the second power. Brief pulsing of a single binary
source can transfer intermediate amounts of thermally transferable colorant from a
donor exhibiting a continuous-tone transfer response. The track width of changed
density produced can be adjusted by limiting the distance scanned during the pulse
to less than the irradiance-profile FWHM along the scanning direction. This
capability of pulse-width modulation to control the amplitude and width of the
deposited exposure can be used to adjust multiple binary sources emitting
different powers in a printhead (500) in order to cause them to deposit equal
exposures by pulsing each source for the compensating duration, while avoiding
an artifactual gap in the image density of each subpixel.

Abstract: A multi-threaded embedded processor that includes an on-chip deterministic (e.g., scratch or locked cache) memory that persistently stores all instructions associated with one or more pre-selected high-use threads. The processor executes general (non-selected) threads by reading instructions from an inexpensive external memory, e.g., by way of an on-chip standard cache memory, or using other potentially slow, non-deterministic operation such as direct execution from that external memory that can cause the processor to stall while waiting for instructions to arrive. When a cache miss or other blocking event occurs during execution of a general thread, the processor switches to the pre-selected thread, whose execution with zero or minimal delay is guaranteed by the deterministic memory, thereby utilizing otherwise wasted processor cycles until the blocking event is complete.
