Title: Method for synchronization in networks
Inventor: BLUM PHILIPP
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronization in networks, whereby the local time (tloc) which is valid at the particular node, is updated at different nodes. For that purpose, timing messages are regularly transmitted by a freely selectable superior node (N1; N3; N6) and only by a superior node to an inferior node (N2, N3; N4-N6; N7), which receives the timing messages (M1-M8) and analyzes said messages for updating the local time (tloc) thereof. A minimum propagation time (dmin) is determined for a timing message (M1-M8) between an inferior node (N1; N3; N6) and a superior node (N2, N3; N4-N6; N7). When the inferior node (N2, N3; N4-N6; N7) receives a timing message (M1-M8), said inferior node extracts the local time of the superior node (N1; N3), which is contained in said timing message (M1-M8) and adds the minimum propagation time (dmin) thereto, in order to generate a reference time (tcomp,1-tcomp,8). Said reference time (tcomp,1-tcomp,8) is then compared with the proper local time (tloc). If the reference time is retarded in relation to the proper local time (tloc), said proper local time (tloc) is not updated. If said reference time is advanced in relation to the proper local time (tloc).

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for determining the presence of specific constituents within an
output pattern generated from a detected image of a biological sample applied to a
microarray, where the output pattern comprises signals associated with noise, and signals
associated with the biological sample which have intensities both greater and less than
intensities of signals associated with noise. The technique utilizes signal processing to
amplify signals associated with the biological sample having an intensity lower than the
intensity of signals associated with noise, to an intensity greater than the intensity of the
signals associated with noise to generate a modified output pattern. The modified output
pattern is then analyzed to determine which signals correlate to specific constituents
within the biological sample. In some embodiments, the signal processing is
interferometry, and more specifically, stochastic resonance interferometry or quantum
resonance interferometry.

Abstract: A method for treating a metal surface to microroughen the metal surface without forming
a reddish brown to black oxide film on the metal surface. Modified oxide replacement
compositions derived from oxide replacement compositions are prepared by altering the amount
of at least one component in the oxide replacement composition to a level above or below an
optimized amount of that component in the oxide replacement composition. The modified oxide
replacement composition is then used to microroughen a metal surface without the oxide film
forming on the metal. A temporary photoresist may be laminated on the treated metal surface
and portions of the photorcist developed and stripped from the metal without concern for resist
lock-in occurring.

Abstract: To naturally improve the sharpness of an image by performing appropriate
sharpness processing. An image processing device (10) receives input original image
data, performs sharpness processing, and outputs correction image data (Sc). Specifically,
the degree of the level change is detected from the original image data (So), and
correction-reference-amount data (Sr), which provides a reference for determining the
degree of sharpness correction, is determined based on the degree of the detected level
change. Meanwhile, the relationship between correction amount (Sa) by which the
sharpness correction is performed and the correction reference amount (Sr) is defined by a
predetermined correction-amount characteristic pattern. The correction-amount
calculating means calculates an adequate correction amount in accordance with the
correction-amount characteristic pattern, and the sharpness processing means performs
sharpness processing on the original image data in accordance with the correction amount.
In this case, the correction determining pattern has a characteristic that the correction
amount varies in accordance with the magnitude of the correction reference amount. 
Thus, in accordance with a level change in the original image data, the sharpness
correction is performed by an adequate correction amount, which can sharpen the original
image data to an adequate degree.
