Title: Method and apparatus for recording and reproducing information in cells using multiple interference
Inventor: HOSHI HIROAKI
IPC: G11B7/243
Filed: 1991-05-21
Abstract: An optical information recording medium includes a base, a reflecting layer formed on the base, a second layer formed parallel to the first reflecting layer at a predetermined distance from the same, and a recording layer formed between the first and second reflecting layers. The recording layer has an array of a plurality of cells having different refractive indices which are changed when irradiated with a light beam. The intensity of the light beam is modulated according to information. Irradiating the recording layer with the modulated light beam causes changes in the refractive index according to the intensity of the light beam. In another aspect, the wavelength of the light beam is changed within a predetermined range including at least one wavelength at which multiple interference occurs between the first and second reflecting layers with respect to each cell. The wavelength of light which has effective reflecting multiple interference is detected. The information recorded in the cell is reproduced in accordance with the wavelength detected. The medium may be used in an apparatus for recording and reproducing information.

Abstract: A high-performance CPU of the RISC (reduced instruction set) type employs a standardized, fixed instruction size, and permits only simplified memory access data width and addressing modes. The instruction set is limited to register-to-register operations and register load/store operations. Byte manipulation instructions, included to permit use of previously-established data structures, include the facility for doing in-register byte extract, insert and masking, along with non-aligned load and store instructions. The provision of load/locked and store/conditional instructions permits the implementation of atomic byte writes. By providing a conditional move instruction, many short branches can be eliminated altogether. A conditional move instruction tests a register and moves a second register to a third if the condition is met; this function can be substituted for short branches and thus maintain the sequentiality of the instruction stream. Performance can be speeded up by predicting the target of a branch and prefetching the new instruction based upon this prediction; a branch prediction rule is followed that requires all forward branches to be predicted not-taken and all backward branches (as is common for loops) to be predicted as taken. Another performance improvement makes use of unused bits in the standard-sized instruction to provide a hint of the expected target address for jump and jump to subroutine instructions or the like. The target can thus be prefetched before the actual address has been calculated and placed in a register. In addition, the unused displacement part of the jump instruction can contain a field to define the actual type of jump, i.e., jump, jump to subroutine, return from subroutine, and thus place a predicted target address in a stack to allow prefetching before the instruction has been executed. The processor can employ a variable memory page size, so that the entries in a translation buffer for implementing virtual addressing can be optimally used. A granularity hint is added to the page table entry to define the page size for this entry. An additional feature is the addition of a prefetch instruction which serves to move a block of data to a faster-access cache in the memory hierarchy before the data block is to be used.

Abstract: In a cellular communications system, the quality of a signal over a first two-way connection from a destination to a mobile terminal is compared with a threshold. When the signal quality becomes lower than the threshold, a second two-way connection is established and a switching request signal and an information-bearing signal are sent from the mobile terminal through both connections to a switching exchange. In response to the request signal, one directional path of the first connection is cleared by the exchange to prevent a version of the signal passing through the first connection from reaching the destination and a first switching complete signal is sent through the other path of the first connection to the mobile terminal to allow it to clear the first connection and return a second switching complete signal. The other path of the first connection is then cleared by the exchange in response to the second switching complete signal.

Abstract: When enlargement processing is performed, binary image data inputted from a data line 100 is subjected to contour smoothing by a contour smoothing and enlarging circuit 2 and the data is enlarged by a factor of n (where n is an integer) in the main scanning direction and m (where m is an integer) in the subordinate scanning direction. When reduction processing is performed, the binary image data is outputted as is from a selector 6 to a multivalue-converting circuit 3 via a signal line 200. In the multivalue-converting circuit 3, the binary image is stored temporarily in a memory, the image data of any area is extracted, image data of multivalued density is calculated based upon a window outputted from a weighting table upon making reference to an area comprising a pixel of interest and its peripheral pixels, and the multivalued data is outputted to a variable-power circuit 4 via a signal line 300. In the variable-power circuit 4, the multivalued-density image data is zoomed down to any size by thinning-out processing of an image clock and line synchronizing signal, and the resulting data is outputted to a binarizing circuit 5 via a signal line 400. The binarizing circuit 5 converts the image data of multivalued density into binary data and outputs this data on a data line 500.

Abstract: An image is analyzed by random or pseudorandom sampling. Information about attributes such as skew, typeface, and character size and spacing is obtained by measuring a characteristic at a number of sampled locations and combining the results to obtain a measure of the characteristic for the image. The number of sampled locations is smaller than the number of locations in the image, but is large enough to achieve a degree of statistical significance. The sampled locations can be selected by obtaining a random or pseudorandom number indicating a candidate location and then applying a criterion to determine whether the candidate location is an appropriate starting point for the measurement. For example, the criterion can be that the location must be a pixel within a character or must be a pixel of a given color at an edge. The measurement can indicate a distance from each sampled location in each of a number of directions, such as the distance to an edge. The distances can be combined to obtain data indicating a distribution, such as by averaging. An image can be divided into segments, each of which has a prominent value for a characteristic being measured, by first dividing the image into starting segments, then sampling the starting segments to measure the characteristic, and then grouping the starting segments into larger segments based on the measurements. The starting segments can be rectangles or, for an image with words, can be segments that each include a word or a paragraph.

Abstract: A pseudo random number generator is provided which generates the next number in a pseudo-random sequence of numbers from a binary representation of an input number and a primitive root of a prime number P, where P has the form 2m-1, m being an integer. The binary representations of the current random number and the primitive root are multiplied to form a binary product. The binary number represented by bits 0 to m-1 of the product are added to the binary number represented by bits m to 2m-1 of the product to form a sum. The contents of bit m of the sum are then added to the sum, via the carry-in input of the adder. The next binary number in the sequence is represented by bits 0 to m-1 of the sum with the contents of bit m thereof so added. 
     The invention finds particular application in data processors having an imbedded multiply-add unit which can be modified to implement the invention.
