Patent EP-1000506-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TONKIN STEVEN W
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1998-07-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne une caméra électronique numérique et un procédé et un circuit correspondants qui servent à convertir un signal analogique porteur d'image provenant d'un dispositif électronique d'imagerie. Pour chaque pixel faisant partie des pixels du dispositif d'imagerie, le signal porteur d'image fournit un signal de référence de pixel et un signal d'image de pixel. Le circuit comprend un caleur de tension qui règle un niveau du signal porteur d'image sur la base du niveau de référence du noir pour produire un signal porteur d'image mis à niveau. Un convertisseur analogique / numérique (CAN), couplé à ce circuit, numérise le signal porteur d'image mis à niveau et fonctionne de manière à produire une première valeur numérique représentative du signal de référence de pixel pour un pixel donné puis une deuxième valeur numérique représentative du signal d'image de pixel. Un premier soustracteur numérique génère ensuite un premier signal numérique de différence, basé sur les première et seconde valeurs numériques, pour réduire le bruit et/ou la dérive pixel à pixel. Le circuit comprend en option un circuit de réaction qui règle le niveau de référence du noir sur la base d'une comparaison entre la valeur numérique de référence et la valeur numérique de référence du noir, sélectionnée pour être près, ou à l'une des extrémités, d'une plage de valeurs acceptée par le CAN. En outre, le circuit comprend un circuit de réglage d'horloge qui règle une horloge d'échantillonnage des signaux de tension d'image et/ou une horloge d'échantillonnage des signaux de tension de référence pour échantillonner le signal approprié sensiblement à l'une des extrémités d'un intervalle d'échantillonnage valable. De plus, le circuit comprend en option un accumulateur/moyenneur qui fonctionne de manière à accumuler et à moyenner sur une ou plusieurs valeurs numériques des pixels sans image pour produire une troisième valeur numérique ainsi qu'un deuxième soustracteur numérique qui fonctionne de manière à générer un deuxième signal numérique de différence sur la base du premier signal numérique de référence et une troisième valeur numérique, ceci afin de réduire le bruit et/ou la tension ligne à ligne. L'invention concerne également une griffe de montage de caméra en queue d'arronde.

Abstract: A process for the recombinant production of a protease is characterised by (a) transformation of a host cell with a recombinant nucleic acid which codes for a zymogenic protease precursor containing an autocatalytic cleavage site which does not occur naturally, this cleavage site being recognised by the active form of said protease, cleaving the zymogenic precursor into the active protease; (b) cultivation of the host cell such that the zymogenic protease precursor is created in the host cell in the form of inclusion bodies; (c) isolation and naturalisation of the inclusion bodies in such conditions that the protease part of the zymogenic precursor is produced with its natural conformation; and (d) autocatalytic cleavage of the naturalised zymogenic precursor to produce the active protease. This process is suitable to produce recombinant proteases in a simple manner and with high yields.

Abstract: Scheme for the distinguishing of reachable objects and non-reachable objects used by an object-based application in a system with volatile memory of limited size. The object-based application operates on n objects whereby Z objects thereof are root objects. The following steps are carried out for each root object
     traversing from said root object to any other object that can be reached from said root object,   marking all objects that were reached from said root object and storing, while marking, in said volatile memory a description of the path from said root object to the currently visited object,
   if the marking phase reaches an object and the respective path does not fit into said volatile memory,
   then this object is not marked but identified as an object which has to be processed later,       continuing the marking phase until all root objects and all objects identified as objects which have to be processed later are processed.

Abstract: A metal and a plastic test plate are joined in a common plane parallel to each other or in planes partially covering each other and paint layers are applied to the entire surface, then dried and hardened. Paint is applied to form a wedge-shaped thickness gradient across the test plates. Optical measurements are made in a grid shaped pattern to determine the surface properties influencing the visual aspects and layer thickness is measured on the metal plate only. Preferred Features: Both test plates are rectangular and are connected either by their edges or rear faces. e.g. by use of adhesive tape on the non-painted rear faces or in the case of an overlapping connection by use of double-sided adhesive tape. Surface properties influencing the visual impression are measured over the entire surface of both the plastic and metal test plates. The thickness of the wedge shaped layer on the metal test plate is determined by a method suitable for use only on metallic substrates. Measured data from each point is entered in correlation diagrams comparing visual characteristics in relation to layer thickness.

Abstract: A traveling wave tube incorporates a collector (100) having
a plurality of collector electrodes (102, 104, 106, 108,
110, 112), one or more of which is operated at a potential below
that of the cathode (56) so as to collect electrons (113)
having associated energies greater than the cathode potential
(E K ), and thereby act as a high impedance current source. The
current from the collector electrode (112) operated below the
cathode potential (E K ) is converted by a power converter (210)
to an alternating current signal that can be either magnetically
coupled to the high voltage transformer (T 1 ) of the traveling
wave tube power supply (150), or coupled to an external
load (220) with a transformer (T 2 ), thereby improving the operating
efficiency of the traveling wave tube system (10).

Abstract: A labeling apparatus for converting base label stock to
releasably-lined labels. The apparatus includes a vacuum anvil roller
(26) and an idler roller (24) which cooperate to separate the base
stock into its face web (12) and backing liner (16) components. A
cutting roller (30) cooperates with the vacuum anvil roller (26) to butt
cut the unlined face web to form butt cut labels. A traction nip roller
(38) cooperates with the vacuum anvil roller to press the butt cut
labels to the backing liner to form the releasably-lined labels. The
releasably-lined labels may be imprinted and the backing liner removed
as the label is affixed to an article using conventional labeling
equipment. A rewind nip roller (52) cooperates with the traction nip
roller to pull the backing liner, which is then rolled on a rewind
mandril (28). The apparatus does not weaken or cut the backing liner
during conversion to releasably-lined labels, because the butt cut is
made after the face web is separated from the backing liner.

Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor memory includes: multiple write pipelines,
each including a memory array; a timing circuit which sequentially starts
programming operations in the pipelines; and a shared charge pump and voltage
regulation circuit that drives a current through the memory cells being
programmed. Staggering the starts of programming operations reduces the current
demand on the charge pump because spikes that occur at the starts of programming
operations, for example, when using channel hot electron injection, are distributed
over time rather than occurring all at once. Noise, which can reduce the accuracy
of write operations, is also reduced because the total current required from the
charge pump is more nearly constant. As further aspect of the invention, each
write pipeline can perform a write operation as alternating programming cycles and
verify cycles. During a programming cycle, the shared charge pump drives a
current through a selected memory cell to change the threshold voltage of the
selected memory cell. During a verify cycle, the write circuit determines whether
the selected memory cell has reached its target threshold voltage level. The write
pipelines can be partitioned into two banks where pipelines in one bank perform
programming cycles while pipelines in the other bank perform verify cycles. More
generally the write pipelines are partitioned into multiple banks where each bank
starts programming cycles at times that differ from the starts of programming
cycles in the other banks.
