Patent EP-0848346-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CALIFANO ANDREA
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provide for automatic
recognition of fingerprint images. In an acquisition mode, subsets of the
feature points for a given fingerprint image are generated in a
deterministic fashion. One or more of the subsets of feature points for
the given fingerprint image is selected. For each selected subset, a key
is generated that characterizes the fingerprint in the vicinity of the
selected subset. A multi-map entry corresponding to the selected subset
of feature points is stored and labelled with the corresponding key. In
the recognition mode, a query fingerprint image is supplied to the
system. The processing of the acquisition mode is repeated in order to
generate a plurality of keys associated with a plurality of subsets of
feature points of the query fingerprint image. For each key generated in
the recognition mode, all entries in the multi-map that are associated
with this key are retrieved. For each item retrieved, a hypothesized
match between the query fingerprint image and the reference fingerprint
image is constructed. Hypothesized matches are accumulated in a vote
table. This list of hypotheses and scores stored in the vote table are
preferably used to determine whether a match to the query fingerprint
image is stored by the system.

Abstract: In a phase-locked loop circuit, a vertical synchronous
separation circuit separates a vertical sync signal from a
composite synchronizing signal to detect part of a vertical
synchronizing period. A mask circuit masks the composite
synchronizing signal during a predetermined period. A
selector selects a reference signal or the composite
synchronizing signal in accordance with the detection output
from the vertical synchronous separation circuit. A phase
comparator detects a phase difference between the output
from the selector and the reference signal. A
voltage-controlled oscillator changes an oscillation
frequency upon receiving the output from the phase
comparator through a low-pass filter. A counter counts the
oscillation output from the voltage-controlled oscillator.
A decoder circuit decodes the output from the counter to
generate the reference signal, supplies it to the selector
and the phase comparator, and resets the counter at a
predetermined period. A mask pulse decoder generates a mask
pulse to control a mask period of the mask circuit. The
composite synchronizing signal is replaced with the reference
signal in accordance with the detection output from the
vertical synchronous separation circuit and supplied to an
input of the phase comparator.

Abstract: On a silicon substrate is formed a silicon dioxide film and
then hemispherical grains made of silicon, each having an
extremely small diameter, are deposited thereon by LPCVD.
After annealing the hemispherical grains, the silicon dioxide
film is etched using the hemispherical grains as a first dotted
mask, thereby forming a second dotted mask composed of the
silicon dioxide film. The resulting second dotted mask is used
to etch the silicon substrate to a specified depth from the
surface thereof, thereby forming an aggregate of semiconductor
micro-needles. Since the diameter of each of the semiconductor
micro-needles is sufficiently small to cause the quantum size
effects as well as has only small size variations, remarkable
quantum size effects can be obtained. Therefore, it becomes
possible to constitute a semiconductor apparatus with a high
information-processing function by using the aggregate of
semiconductor micro-needles (quantized region).

Abstract: The present invention is for the improvement of inter-layer bonding strength in polypropylene films through the addition of ethylene as a mini-random copolymer in an amount of no more than about 1 weight percent, more preferably no more than about 0.7 weight percent, and most preferably between about 0.3 weight percent to about 0.5 weight percent or even amounts less than about 0.2 weight percent. The invention allows the improvement of inter-layer bond strength in multi-layer films resulting specifically in improved heat seal strength. The invention encompasses both the resulting films with enhanced heat seal strength and the process for producing such films. In the preferred embodiment, the proposed mini-random copolymer is formed into a film layer used in place of a propylene homopolymer layer, providing improved bonding properties over a film formed of polypropylene homopolymer, while maintaining at acceptable levels the physical and optical characteristics of a film layer made from a propylene homopolymer, such as stiffness.

Abstract: A wavelength-multiplexing optical transmission
system includes (a) an optical transmitter 100 for
wavelength-multiplexing a plurality of optical signals having
different wavelengths and transmitting a wavelength-multiplexed
optical signal, (b) an optical fiber cable 4 for
transmitting a plurality of transmitted optical signals, and
(c) an optical receiver 101 for receiving a plurality of
transmitted optical signals. The optical receiver 101 includes
a wavelength selector 20 for demultiplexing an optical signal
having a predetermined wavelength of a plurality of received
optical signals and outputting the demodulated signal. The
wavelength selector 20 has comb-shaped wavelength selection
characteristics for selectively filtering an optical signal
having a plurality of selected wavelengths. A wavelength
selection interval Δλ between two adjacent selected wavelengths
of the wavelength selection characteristics is different from
a signal wavelength interval δλ between two adjacent signal
wavelengths of a plurality of wavelength-multiplexed optical
signals. The difference therebetween is set so that
substantially a single optical signal is selectively filtered
from a plurality of received optical signals. The wavelength
selector 20 includes a wavelength control mechanism 10 for
shifting the selected wavelengths of the wavelength selection
characteristics, respectively.

Abstract: A system delivers cryogenic gas at a high pressure from a supply of cryogenic liquid maintained at a low pressure in a bulk tank. The bulk tank supplies liquid to at least one transfer tank. The transfer tank is pressurized by connecting it to a pressure building tank containing gas at a high pressure. A heat exchanger is connected in circuit between the transfer tank and the pressure building tank. The transfer tank provides liquid at a high pressure to the heat exchanger so that a vapor is produced. This vapor is fed to the pressure building tank so that the high pressure therein is maintained. The transfer tank provides a high pressure flow of liquid to a vaporizer and a high pressure gas storage tank so that high pressure cryogenic gas may be produced and stored. <IMAGE>
