Abstract: There is disclosed a solid-state image pickup device provided with plural blocks, each comprising at least two pixels 11 and allowing to read the signals of the pixel blocks at a high speed and without loss. The output signals of the blocks are connected in common, respectively through block buffers 83, thereby providing the maximum or minimum value of the pixels. The block buffer 83 has an input at the base of a self-biased transistor and an output in an emitter follower circuit. Also there are provided first photoelectric conversion elements for reading out the photoelectric conversion charges of respective pixels and second photoelectric conversion elements for reaching out the photoelectric conversion charges respectively in blocks, each composed of plural pixels, and the outputs of the second photoelectric conversion elements are connected in common to a common line through maximum output circuits.

Abstract: A vision based spine identification system is provided for identifying the path of a spine (2) within a half-carcass. Spine-like features are identified. Path analysis of the spine-like features is performed to identify a continuous run of spine-like features so as to identify the actual position of the spine (2). A further processing step is then performed by looking along the identified path of the spine in order to search for intervertebral regions. Once these have been located, the data is fitted to a model spine in order to form a representation of the spatial part of the spine. Fitting to a model allows problems with hidden parts of the spine to be overcome. The coordinates of the spine can then be used to generate instructions for an automatic butchery machine.

Abstract: Provided is a novel chamber effluent monitoring system. The system comprises a chamber having an exhaust line connected thereto. The exhaust line includes a sample region, wherein substantially all of a chamber effluent also passes through the sample region. The system further comprises an absorption spectroscopy measurement system for detecting a gas phase molecular species. The measurement system comprises a light source and a main detector in optical communication with the sample region through one or more light transmissive window. The light source directs a light beam into the sample region through one of the one or more light transmissive window. The light beam passes through the sample region and exits the sample region through one of the one or more light transmissive window. The main detector responds to the light beam exiting the sample region. The system allows for  in situ  measurement of molecular gas impurities in a chamber effluent, and in particular, in the effluent from a semiconductor processing chamber. Particular applicability is found in semiconductor manufacturing process control and hazardous gas leak detection.

Abstract: In a data compression method using dictionaries, there are adopted a dynamic dictionary (231) and a static dictionary (241) to prevent the deterioration in the data compression ratio in the leading portion of the input data which cannot be efficiently compressed using the dynamic dictionary. Moreover, the configuration removes the disadvantage of the deterioration in the data compression ratio because character strings having a low appearance frequency occupy a large portion of the dictionary. Data to be compressed (201) is inputted via an input unit (221) to be decomposed into input bit strings (202). Using the input bit string 202 as a retrieval key, a bit string retrieval is conducted through the static dictionary (241) by a decision unit (243) and a reference unit (244). According to a result from comparison between the input bit string (202) and a bit string of the static dictionary (241) and a result from the retrieval by a retrieving unit (233) through the dynamic dictionary (231), whether or not the input bit string (202) is to be registered to the dynamic dictionary (231) is determined. For registration of the input bit string (202), an index is added thereto by a register unit (234) before the registration. The input bit string (202) or an index matching the string (202) is outputted as compressed data (205).

Abstract: A VPSA apparatus includes a first adsorbent
bed and a second adsorbent bed, a feed blower for
providing a flow of a gas mixture at about
atmospheric pressure to the beds, and a vacuum
blower for removing a flow of gas therefrom and
venting the gas to a space at atmospheric pressure.
The VPSA process causes the first adsorbent bed to
be poised for evacuation by the vacuum blower and
concurrently, the second adsorbent bed is under
vacuum conditions and is poised for pressurization
by the feed blower. A single motor is coupled by a
common shaft to both the feed blower and the vacuum
blower and operates both. A conduit/valve
arrangement is operative during at least a portion
of a process time when the adsorbent beds are in
pressurizing/evacuation states, respectively, to
couple the feed blower to the second adsorbent bed
when at vacuum and for concurrently coupling the
vacuum blower to the first adsorbent bed which is
to be evacuated. The feed blower is thereby caused
to operate in a gas expansion mode and imparts
expansion energy, via the common shaft, to the
vacuum blower. During idling conditions, a
valve-conduit system is controlled to enable
significant reductions in pressure rise across the
feed and vacuum blowers.
