Abstract: A method of making an monolithic metallic sandwich structure includes
selecting at least two chemically clean metal core sheets having superplastic
characteristics and placing them face-to-face. The core sheets are welded
together into a core pack along intersecting lines that will form junction lines of
webs defining cells between the core sheets when the core pack is expanded
superplastically. Gaps are left adjacent to the intersections of the weld lines to
produce openings through which gas can pass to pressurize each cell. The
position of the gaps adjacent the weld line intersections minimizes strain on the
marginal regions around the openings as the core pack is inflated, to reduce the
tendency of the sheets to tear or rupture around the openings. A gas pressure
line fitting is inserted between one edge and the core pack is welded around its
periphery with the gas fitting protruding from the edge for connection to a gas
source that will purge and pressurize the core pack with gas. Two chemically
cleaned metal face sheets having superplastic characteristics are placed over and
under the core pack, and all four sheets are peripheral seal welded to produce a
sealed envelope pack enclosing the core pack, with gas fillings into the core pack
and into a face sheet zone between the face sheets and the core pack. Dry Argon
is admitted through the gas fittings to purge air and moisture from the packs and
then to pressurize the packs to a low pressure to maintain separation of the
sheets while heating to prevent premature diffusion bonding. The full pack is
placed in an internal cavity of a heated die and is raised to superplastic
temperatures. Forming gas is injected through the fillings at a forming pressure
sufficient to inflate the envelope pack to the interior walls of the cavity, and inflate
the core pack to the envelope pack and to diffusion bond the face sheets to the
core sheets. After forming, the die is opened and the formed pack is removed.

Abstract: An approximate query answering system that provides fast, highly-accurate
approximate answers to database queries. The system provides these approximate
answers using small, pre-computed synopsis data structures (samples, counts, etc.) from
the underlying database and accuracy guarantees without any a priori assumptions on
either the data distribution, the order in which the base data is loaded, or the layout of
the data on the disks. The system also provides fast approximate ansers for queries with
selects, aggregates, group bys and/or joins (especially, the multi-way foreign key joins
that are popular in OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP)). The system uses several new
techniques for improving the accuracy of approximate query answers for this class of
queries, including, (1) join sampling to significantly improve the approximation quality
and (2) biased sampling to overcome the problem of group size disparities in group by
operations. Moreover, the system uses efficient algorithms for incremental maintenance
of join samples, biased samples, and all other synopses used in the current system. The
system remains effective even in the presence of data distribution changes.

Abstract: A video signal is processed using dither coefficients.
Dither coefficients pattern signals are generated. Each
pattern signal carries positive and negative dither
coefficients arranged in an (n x m ) matrix where " n" and
" m" being positive integers larger than zero, the sum total
of the coefficients being zero. One of the pattern signal
is selected for each predetermined unit of picture carried
by the video signal. Or, it is selected according to
locations of dither coefficients on pixels arranged on a
display panel. Dither coefficients of the selected pattern
signal are added to an input video signal, thus outputting
a video signal to be supplied to the display panel. Instead
of the dither coefficients pattern signals, dither pattern
signals can be generated, each carrying positional data
indicating locations of dither coefficients on the pixels
on the display panel. A dither coefficient signal to be
added to the input signal is generated which carries the
dither coefficients arranged in a matrix for each gradation
level of the input video signal in response to one of the
dither pattern signal. Dither coefficients pattern signals
can be generated according to color gradation levels of data
carried by the input video signal, the data being supplied
to each of dot matrices that constitute the pixels, each
pattern signal carrying dither coefficients arranged in a
matrix corresponding to each dot matrix. One of dither
coefficients is selected from each pattern signal with
respect to each dot matrix, thus outputting a dither
coefficients pattern signal that carries the dither
coefficients selected from the pattern signals and arranged
in the matrix. The dither coefficients carried by the
output pattern signal to be added to the input video signal
are adjusted so that the sum total of the dither coefficients
carried by the output pattern signal is zero.
