Abstract: A seismic source apparatus 10 includes body 12, cap 22, actuator 24, and shuttle 26. Body 12 includes a main chamber 14 that is formed therein and adapted to receive a charge of compressed air. Actuator 24 is preferably a solenoid actuated valve, capable of rapidly opening and closing in response to an electrical signal. Seismic source apparatus 10 includes a solenoid chamber orifice 38 that is positioned within a fill passage 34 to enable fluid communication between fill passage 34 and solenoid chamber 40. Solenoid chamber orifice 38 and solenoid chamber 40 are configured to provide a quick burst of high pressure air through actuator 24 when actuator 24 is opened in order to start the shuttle 26 in motion, while restricting the flow of air from main fill passage 34 and main chamber 14 into the actuator 24 so that the pressure in the main chamber 14 remains high enough to emit a suitable bubble, and so that shuttle 26 is not prevented from closing. A spring chamber 44 containing either compressed air or a mechanical spring provides a closing force bearing on surface 46 of shuttle 26. A shut-off chamber 68 is circumferentially disposed between shuttle 26 and cap 22, and is adapted to receive a portion of air released from the main chamber 14 during firing to provide an additional closing force on shuttle 26 when seismic source apparatus 10 is fired. A water sealing mechanism 74 prevents the flow of ambient fluid into shut-off chamber 68 prior to firing.

Abstract: An efficient, fast-decoding, order-preserving, easily implementable, length-based (L-based) arithmetic coding method, apparatus, and manufacture for an m-ary alphabet {1 ,..., i ,..., m}is provided. The coding method combines recursive division of intervals on a number line into sub-intervals whose lengths are proportional to symbol probability and which are ordered in lexical order with the constraint that probabilities be estimated as negative powers of two (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.). As a consequence, the advantageous preservation of lexical order and computational efficiency are both realized. High speed operation is achieved, because shifts take the place of multiplications. The coding apparatus in accordance with the invention preferably includes either a single decoding table to achieve fast decoding, or two decoding tables to achieve fast decoding as well as order preservation. The decoding process can conveniently be performed by constructing a decoding table for the C register. The C register is initialized with the leading bits of the codestring. The decoded symbol is the symbol i, i being the greatest integer that makes the C-register value greater than or equal to P(i).

Abstract: An ultrasonic imaging system is disclosed which produces a sequence of images of planes of a subject including both image and spatial positional information of the image plane. In one embodiment the positional information is developed from a plurality of accelerometers located within a scanhead. The second integrals of the acceleration signals are used to determine positional information of the image plane. In a second embodiment a tranmitter transmits a magnetic field and a receiver attached to the scanhead detects the position of the scanhead in relation to the transmitted magnetic field. Spatially related images are displayed by displaying one image plane in the plane of the display and a second image plane projected in relation thereto. Either of the displayed planes may be displayed in outline form, and the outline may be modulated to depict depth.

Abstract: An SCSI controller having a mechanism for receiving a power down request indicating that the SCSI disk drives should be spun down. Preferably, the SCSI controller has an input for receiving a power down request signal. The SCSI controller monitors activity on the SCSI bus and asserts a signal indicative thereof to power management logic. The power management logic monitors the resources of the computer system and generates a system interrupt and the power down signal to initiate a power down mode when the computer system is determined to be idle. The CPU receives the system interrupt to perform traditional power down sequences. The SCSI controller receives the power down signal and generates a SCSI interrupt. The CPU also receives the SCSI interrupt and executes an SCSI device driver. The SCSI device driver determines that power down mode is being initiated, and sends spin down request commands to the SCSI controller for each SCSI drive. The SCSI controller powers down each of the SCSI devices in response. Any subsequent activity requiring access to any SCSI drive is detected by interrupt calls to the SCSI device driver, which then sends spin up requests to the SCSI controller, if necessary.

Abstract: A single clamp circuit 100 for integrated circuits with multiple V dd  power pins by coupling the various V dd  busses to an ESD clamped V dd  bus 140 or pseudo- V dd  bus via diodes 110, 150,..., 191. The diodes will provide coupling from any V dd  bus 140 to the clamp circuit 100 during a positive ESD transient. A diode 110 for each V dd  bus and a single clamp circuit can be much more area efficient than a single clamp circuit for each V dd  bus. During normal operation, the diodes 110, 150,..., 191 will become weakly forward biased due to the leakage current of the clamp circuit. Small signal noise will tend not to be coupled from one bus 140 to the other because of the high impedance of the diodes 110, 150,..., 191. For a large positive noise transient on one bus 140, the other bus diode will reverse bias, thus decoupling the signal from the other busses. A large negative noise transient on one bus 140 will cause its diode to reverse bias thus decoupling it from the other busses. To help filter small signal noise and provide an additional charged device model discharge path, a capacitor 151 is added from the pseudo or ESD V dd  to substrate ground. Also disclosed is an ESD protection scheme for allowing a pad voltage to exceed the power supply voltage without using an avalanching junction as the ESD protection means. Further disclosed is a clamp scheme for allowing the transistors of the power supply clamp to see voltages lower than that of the pad voltage which exceed the process reliability limits.

Abstract: All exercise apparatus includes a frame that is adapted for placement on the floor, a pivot axis supported by the frame, a pedal bar which has first and second ends, a pedal that is secured to the pedal bar, an ellipse generator, and a track. The ellipse generator is secured to both the pivot axis and to the first end of the pedal bar such that the first end of said pedal bar moves in an elliptical path around the pivot axis. The track is secured to the frame and engages the second end of said pedal bar such that the second end moves in a linear reciprocating path as the first end of the pedal bar moves in the elliptical path around said pivot axis. Consequently, the pedal also moves in a generally elliptical path. As the pedal moves in its elliptical path, the angular orientation of the pedal, relative to a fixed, horizontal plane, such as the floor, varies in a manner that simulates a natural heel to toe flexure. The apparatus can also include a resistance member, a data input member, and a control member. The resistance member applies a resistive force to the pedal. The data input means permits the user to input control signals. The control means responds to the input control member to control the resistance member and apply a braking force to the pedal. In addition, the exercise apparatus can include an arm handle and an arm handle coupling member that couples the arm handle to the pedal such that the arm handle moves in synchronism with the pedal.
