Title: In an interactive network board, method and apparatus for logging peripheral statistics.
Inventor: RUSSELL WILLIAM C
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1993-10-28
Abstract: Method and apparatus for logging status information of a printer using an interactive network board coupled between the printer and a Local Area Network, includes the use of a Small Computer Systems Interface coupled to the board and having a data channel and a status channel, for transmitting print data to the printer over the data channel, transmitting printer status requests to the printer and receiving printer status data from the printer over the status channel. A memory is coupled to the board and is used for storing the received printer status data. A processor is also coupled to the board for adding beginning and end of print job indicia to the print data prior to transmission to the printer, and for causing the printer status requests to be transmitted to and received from the printer at a first predetermined interval (e.g. every minute). Furthermore, the processor calculates, at a second predetermined interval (e.g. daily) printer status statistics based on the received printer status data and the beginning and end of job indicia. Finally, the processor stores the calculated printer status statistics in the memory. Preferably, the calculated printer status statistics are then stored in a non-volatile memory in the printer and can be accessed at a later date from a remote location. Also, it is preferable if the printer status statistics are provided at a plurality of levels of resolution, the levels being selectable from the remote location. <IMAGE>

Title: Multi-nodal data processing system
Inventor: BENKUAL JACK
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1994-07-27
Abstract: A multi-nodal data processing system in which each node has a
local memory for storing message send vectors, one for each
other node in the system. When a node has a message to send,
it places the message in the message send vector
corresponding to the destination node of that message. When
a node is ready to receive messages, it reads messages from
the message send vectors corresponding to this node in the
other nodes. Each message send vector has a head pointer and
a tail pointer for defining the head and tail of a queue of
messages. Each tail pointer is held locally, in the same
node as the message send vector to which it relates, while
the head pointer is held in the destination node of that
message send vector.

Abstract: In a diversity communication system, arrays of antennas and groups of
receive units are provided so that the groups correspond respectively to the
antenna arrays. The receive units of each group respectively process
incoming signals from the antennas of the corresponding array. Associated
respectively with the antenna arrays are diversity branches each comprising
multiple complex multipliers for respectively multiplying the processed
incoming signals by weight coefficients, and multiple correlators for
determining correlations between the processed incoming signals and a
decision signal and deriving therefrom the weight coefficients of the
complex multipliers. A predetermined amount of delay is introduced to each
of the processed incoming signals so that each delayed signal and the
decision signal are time-coincident at the inputs of each complex multiplier.
The output signals of the complex multipliers are summed and fed to an
adaptive matched filter for converging delay-dispersed components of the
sum signal and maximal-ratio combining the components according to the
decision signal to produce an output signal of the diversity branch. The
outputs of the diversity branches are combined and applied to a decision
feedback equalizer where it is equalized and the decision signal is produced
for the correlators and adaptive matched filter of each diversity branch.

Abstract: A double-disc refiner of the invention is formed of a driving
shaft having one free end, a rotating disc fixed on the driving
shaft and having a first rotating blade provided on one surface and
a second rotating blade provided on the other surface thereof, and
a crushing chamber surrounding the rotating disc, and first and
second a material supply passages. On an inner wall of the crushing
chamber, a first stationary blade is disposed to face the first
rotating blade, and a second stationary blade is disposed to face
the second rotating blade. An end surface of the one free end of

passage, and includes projections to closely face a portion of the
first paper material passage to prevent the material flowing through
the first material supply passage from entering between the portion
and the projections. Therefore, on the end surface of the driving
shaft, pressure caused by the material is reduced to equalize spaces

Title: Non-volatile semiconductor memory device and method of manufacturing the same
Inventor: GHNEIM SAID N
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: A non-volatile memory device is fabricated having enhanced charge retention capability. Enhanced charge retention is achieved upon the floating gate of the non-volatile memory device. The floating gate can configured as a stacked or non-stacked pair of polysilicon conductors. In either instance, negative charge programmed upon the floating gate is retained by reducing the presence of positively charged atoms within dielectrics overlying the floating gate conductor. Moreover, diffusion avenues of the positively charged hydrogen are reduced by maintaining a prevalence of relatively strong bond locations within the overlying dielectric layers. Thus, origination of positively charged atoms such as hydrogen from those bonds are substantially prevented by processing the hydrogen-containing dielectrics at relatively low temperatures and further processing any subsequent dielectrics and/or conductors overlying the floating gate at relatively low temperatures. Suitable processing temperatures (dielectric deposition and metal sintering temperatures) are temperatures less than 380 DEG  C.

Abstract: A method of operating a micromechanical device (12). The device
is in a first state. Data for the next state of the device is
loaded onto the activation circuitry of the device (18a, 18b)
where the next state may be the same state the device is
currently in, or a state different from the first state. The
equilibrium of the device is shifted away from the next state,
by making the data appear complementary to the true data for the
next state. When the trapping field is removed or lowered, and
a signal to start the transition is provided, the device moves
to its new state and the trapping field is reapplied. The data
can be made to look complementary by either loading the
complements to the true data, or by reversing the polarity of
the trapping field.

Abstract: A CMOS imaging system provides low noise read out and amplification for an array of passive

that functions as a signal overflow shunt and a means for electrically injecting a test signal. The
read out circuit for each column of pixels includes a high gain, wide bandwidth, CMOS
differential amplifier, a reset switch and selectable feedback capacitors, selectable load
capacitors, correlated double sampling and sample-and-hold circuits, an optional pipelining
circuit, and an offset cancellation circuit connected to an output bus to suppress the input offset
nonuniformity of the amplifier. For full process compatibility with standard silicided
submicron CMOS and to maximize yield and minimize die cost, each photodiode may comprise
the lightly doped source of its access MOSFET. Circuit complexity is restricted to the column
buffers, which exploit signal processing capability inherent in CMOS. Advantages include high
fabrication yield, broadband spectral response from near-UV to near-IR, low read noise at
HDTV data rates, large charge-handling capacity, variable sensitivity with simple controls, and
reduced power consumption.
