Title: Method for controlling the presentation of nested overlays
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1989-05-23
Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling the presentation of 
nested overlays on a display medium. An overlay function 
resource is provided which includes its own environment 
specification which is independent of the space and data 
environment specifications. Mixing attributes are 
associated with each overlay and are utilized to determine 
which overlay space and data are to take precedence and be 
visible when the overlayed spaces are combined and imaged on 
a display medium. In a preferred mode of the present 
invention, the foreground and background of each overlay are 
separately controlled by the mixing attributes which define 
the mixing rules for the layered presentation of multiple 
overlays. Additionally, the order of precedence for 
displaying multiple overlays may be selectively altered or 
varied to provide multiple displays and to permit an 
individual overlay to be repetitively utilized.

IPC: F04D29/32
Filed: 1993-02-11
Abstract: The axial flow fan has a plurality of identical blades (13) extending 
from a central hub (11). In a preferred embodiment, each blade is highly 
skewed, having a backward (with respect to fan rotation direction) skew 
in the root portion (15) of the blade nearest the hub, changing to a 
highly forward skew in the portion (16) of the blade near the tip. The 
fan may be shrouded or unshrouded. In the shrouded embodiment, the fan 
is used in conjunction with an inlet orifice structure (131). Each blade 
of the fan has a chord length that increases from root (17) to tip (18), 
a pitch angle that decreases from root to tip and a camber angle that 
decreases from root to tip. In the shrouded embodiment both the contour 
of the inlet portion (126) of the shroud and the contour of the inlet 
portion (132) of the orifice structure are quarter sections of ellipses. 
The fan reduces noise and requires lower input power as compared to 
prior art fans.

Title: Method for frequency analysis.
Inventor: KAPUST ROLF DIPL-ING
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1994-05-09
Abstract: A frequency analysis method comprises using a window function to evaluate a temporal input signal present in the form of discrete sampled values. The windowed input signal is subsequently subjected to Fourier transformation for the purpose of generating a set of coefficients. In order to develop such a method so that the characteristics of the human ear are simulated not only with respect to the spectral projection in the frequency range, but also with respect to the resolution in the temporal range, a set of different window functions is used to evaluate a block of the input signal in order to generate a set of blocks, weighted with the respective window functions, of sampled values whose Fourier transforms have different bandwidths, before each of the simultaneously generated blocks of sampled values is subjected to a dedicated Fourier transformation in such a way that for each window function at least respectively one coefficient is calculated which is assigned the bandwidth of the Fourier transforms of this window function, and that the coefficients are chosen such that the frequency bands assigned to them essentially adjoin one another.

Inventor: HYNSON JAMES M
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1995-08-29
Abstract: The vascular resistance to blood flow through the hand is increased in an essentially
uniform manner by the application of pressure to the hand. The pressure is applied by
means of an inflatable bladder mounted on an arm board or within a non-expandable
sleeve, mitten or glove, which bladder covers at least the palm of the hand. Controlled
inflation of the bladder conveys pressure to the hand tissue to a degree necessary to
compress vascular structures and obstruct or restrict blood flow. By occluding blood
flow through the hand, more accurate invasive blood pressure readings can be taken
in clinical situations where decreased hand vascular resistance occurs.

Abstract: A method of chemically polishing aluminum from a semiconductor 
wafer to leave a wiring pattern thereon. The surface of the aluminum in 
aqueous environment consists of hydrated alumina; upon contact with the 
hydrated silica particles of a polishing slurry at neutral pH, the 
surface alumina is transferred to the surface of the silica by 
aluminosilicate formation removing the alumina layer by layer by contact 
chemical reaction. Wafers thus polished have nearly scratch-free and 
corrosion-free polished aluminum lines in an insulator surface.
