Patent EP-0894308-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHERER ALISA M
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: Un procédé d'acheminement de signaux d'horloges dans un circuit intégré utilise un schéma d'acheminement hiérarchique selon lequel les mémoires tampons d'horloges ayant le niveau le plus bas sont d'abord placées rangée par rangée dans des endroits pré-attribuées et acheminées jusqu'aux broches d'entrée de cellules standard recevant les signaux d'horloges de sortie de ces mémoires tampons d'horloges. Avec ce procédé, le nombre de mémoires tampons d'horloges devant être placées dans chaque rangée est calculé en fonction d'estimations relatives à leurs capacités de charge et des longueurs de câbles supposées dans une fenêtre. Les mémoires tampons de sortie du même signal d'horloge sont disposées en grille ou connectées ensemble pour minimiser le désalignement des horloges. Un deuxième niveau de mémoires tampons d'horloges est ensuite attribué pour commander les mémoires tampons ayant le niveau le plus bas. La hiérarchie peut être étendue à n'importe quel nombre de niveaux plus élevé jusqu'à ce que les signaux d'horloges soient acheminés pour le circuit intégré tout entier. Les signaux d'horloges d'un niveau plus élevé peuvent également être disposés en grille ou connectés pour minimiser les désalignements des horloges.

Abstract: The process of the present invention is based on a hexagonal cellular platform where six, or a multiple of six, frequency groups are directionalized and reused in the same direction. Directional antennas are located in the center of each cell. Each antenna radiates into a 60° sector of the cell. The reused frequency groups are aligned along the 0°, 120°, and 240° axes of each cell. Each axis has three layers, the two outer layers having an identical frequency reuse series. The frequency groups are reused in the same direction along each axis, reducing the number of dominant interfering cells to one.

each of which includes optical receiver and optical
transmitter, optical switch devices for active and
standby systems, each of the optical switch devices
having an N number of input ports and an M number of
output ports; and an optical multiplexer for multiplexing
an M number of optical signals supplied from the third
OR/OS pair and an M number of optical signals supplied
from the fourth OR/OS pair to produce an M number of
optical signals, the optical switch devices and the first
through the fourth OR/OS pairs have a 3-dB margin with
respect to the input optical strength. 
     First and second paths are each adjusted such
that the time required for transmitting an optical signal
is identical for all paths. The first path is from an
output port of the optical branch unit to the point where
the optical signals are multiplexed in the optical
multiplexer via the first and the third OR/OS pairs, and
the optical switch device for the active system. The
second path is from an output port of the optical branch
unit to the point where the optical signals are
multiplexed in the optical multiplexer via the second and
the fourth OR/OS pairs, and the optical switch device for
the standby system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus enhance a color or grayscale raster image
in a printer (10) by identifying a working pixel (48,108) in the raster image for
anti-aliasing, and then modifying luminance data (52,112) of the working pixel in
a luminance chrominance color space such that an anti-aliasing effect is
achieved relative to the raster image. The luminance component of the raster
image data is converted to a binary format (106) to identify the working pixel
using RET template matching (108). The luminance data of the working pixel is
modified by utilizing luminance data of adjacent pixels (52,112) to produce a
new luminance value which is then assigned to the working pixel. One of the
adjacent pixels defines an edge of the object being anti-aliased in the raster
image, and the other of the adjacent pixels defines an edge of a region in the
raster image that is adjacent the object. In the event chroma data is associated
with the object, the chroma data is combined with the modified luminance data
(118) and also assigned to the working pixel for accurate imaging thereof.

Abstract: A molded polymer article comprises a main molded body
having on the surface thereof a hydrophilic polymer layer,
the article being obtained by polymerizing both a monomer
having a hydrophilic group and coated on the surface of a
hydrophilic mold, and a polymerizable composition consisting
essentially of a monomer and/or oligomer and placed in the
mold. The hydrophilic polymer layer has excellent
adhesiveness to the main body of the molded polymer article
and excellent durability, so that the high hydrophilic
property can be maintained, even when the article is exposed
to external forces such as friction, over a long period of
time. The molded articles are therefore useful as, in
particular, contact lenses.

supply of gas molecules to be ionized by the primary
electrons. The direction of the nozzle is set with respect to

Abstract: A processor and method of fetching an instruction from a memory are

fetched instructions, and a sequential address is determined utilizing a
last of the plurality of previously fetched instructions. Concurrently
with the determination of the target addresses and the sequential
address, a select signal specifying one of the plurality of target
addresses or the sequential address is generated. The select signal is
used to select one of the plurality of target addresses or the sequential
address as a memory request address. The memory request address is then
transmitted from the processor to the memory so that the memory will
supply at least one instruction to the processor. By generating the
target addresses and sequential address concurrently with the generation
