Abstract: A laser rangefinding system utilizes multiple pulse, multiple return, modal range processing for clutter rejection. A laser source (58) emits a series of laser beam pulses (60), and each reflected return from objects (54, 56) in a scene (52) for each of the pulses (60) is recorded. Each return signal above a predetermined threshold is added as a count to a count table within a selected bin representing the range of the return signal. After all of the analog return signals are recorded, the range bin with the most counts is selected as the range of a target (54).

Abstract: Piecing method of a spinning machine whereby, after holding outside a twist device both a leading yarn ejected from the sliver guide entrance of a twist device in a stationary state and a sliver delivered by a re-operated draft device, the twist device is operated, the sliver supplied to the twist device and the fibers comprising the sliver are entangled in the leading yarn pulled from the twist device. The success rate of yarn piecing may be improved without detailed adjustment of the pulling timing of the leading yarn guided into the twist device and the supply timing of the sliver supplied to the twist device.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device containing a cache includes a SRAM (2) as a cache memory, and a DRAM (1) as a main memory. Collective transfer of data blocks is possible between the DRAM array (1) and the SRAM array (2) through a bi-directional transfer gate circuit (3) and through an internal data line (SBL and 16a and 16b). A DRAM row decoder (14) and a DRAM column decoder (15) are provided in the DRAM array (1). A SRAM row decoder (21) and an SRAM column decoder (22) are provided in the SRAM array (2). Addresses of the SRAM array 2 and DRAM array 1 can be independently applied. The data transfer gate includes a latch circuit (1811) for latching data from the SRAM (2) as a high speed memory, an amplifier circuit (1814) and a gate circuit (1815) for amplifying data from the DRAM (1) as a large capacity memory and for transmitting the same to the SRAM, and a gate circuit (1813) responsive to a DRAM write enable signal (AWDE) for transmitting write data to corresponding memory cells of the DRAM. After the data of the SRAM has been latched by a latch circuit (1811), write data is transmitted from the gate circuit (1813) to the DRAM, and the write data is transmitted to the SRAM through the amplifier circuit (1814) and the gate circuit (1815). This structure realizes a high speed semiconductor memory device which can be applied to a desired mapping method with a small area of occupation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method modifies a curve in
response to a user action through a graphical user interface
in the computer system, with the curve being defined by
control points. Each of the control points is identified in
response to user input as a fixed control point, a selected
control point, or a free control point. A displacement of
selected points is received, and a free slope control point
of the curve is mapped to a point Tp on a line t. An
interpolation curve IC(t) is defined on the line t, and a
point Tp is projected to the value of the interpolation
curve IC(t) at t equals Tp to find a scale factor. The
scale factor is multiplied by the displacement of the
selected points to determine the displacement of the free
control point. A computer-implemented graphical user
interface method creates a Bezier curve segment on a display
in a computer system. A selection of a first segment end
point is received through a graphical user interface in the
computer system. The position of a cursor on the computer
display is received as a second segment end point. The
first and second slope points are calculated so that the
Bezier segment defined by the first and second segment end
points and the first and second slope points approximates an
arc. The calculated Bezier curve segment is displayed on
the computer display.

Abstract: A contamination detection apparatus (10) is provided for
measuring an amount of contamination on an optically
transmitting element (14) or pane. The optically transmitting
element (14) is capable of transmitting electromagnetic
radiation. The contamination detection apparatus (10) includes
a contamination detection (CD) radiation source (18) for
providing a source intensity (26) of radiation. The source
intensity (26) or radiation passes (28,30) through the
optically transmitting element (14) at least one time. A
reference detector (38) is also provided for detecting the
source intensity (26) of radiation, and the reference detector
(38) has a reference output level that is representative of the
source intensity (26). 
     A measurement detector (36) is further provided for detecting a
final pass intensity (30) of the radiation provided by the CD
radiation source (18) after the radiation provided by the CD
radiation source (18) has passed through the optically
transmitting element (4). The measurement detector (36) has a
measurement output level that is representative of the final
pass intensity (30). A comparator is also provided for
comparing the measurement output level with reference output
level in order to detect the amount of contamination on the
optically transmitting element (14). The comparator can take
several forms, such as a microprocessor or other processing
device. In one specific embodiment of the present invention,
the measurement detector (36) is a target detector (27) for
detecting the electromagnetic radiation from a target (11)
within an electromagnetic radiation measuring device (16). The
electromagnetic radiation measuring device (16) measures the
intensity of electromagnetic radiation from the target (11),
and the optically transmitting element (14) transmits the 
electromagnetic radiation from the target (11) to the target
detector (27). 
     A sensitivity correction apparatus (70) is also provided for
the electromagnetic radiation measuring device (16), and the
artificial radiation source creates a path of radiation having
a varying intensity, wherein the viewing pane permits radiation
from the path of radiation to pass therethrough. The
sensitivity correction apparatus (70) includes a correction
mask (76) having a plurality of strip spaces and a plurality of
transmittance strips (80). Each of the strips reduce the
intensity of the beam when the beam passes therethrough, and
the strips are placed in the strip spaces according to the
distance between the radiation source and each strip space to
reduce the intensity of the beam for that strip when the beam
passes through the strips within the mask.

Abstract: The present invention realizes high-speed data interpolation in the
control of a predetermined plant, such as an image processing apparatus that
carries out color correction. A table is provided to store data at respective
lattice points (B, C, M, W, K, G, Y, R) that are discretely set in a coordinate
space of a predetermined number of dimensions (R, G, B). The process first
identifies a specific lattice division which is defined by some lattice points (B,
C, M, W, K, G, Y, R) and in which input coordinates P(Rd, Gd, Bd) are
included, and computes a base point of the specific lattice division (K) and
offset coordinates (Roff, Goff, Boff) corresponding to a deviation from the
base point (K). The process then refers to an offset correction table, which
stores weighting coefficients and lattice point specification data used for
interpolation, and reads the weighting coefficients and the lattice point
specification data corresponding to the computed offset coordinates (Roff,
Goff, Boff). The process subsequently multiplies the data corresponding to
the lattice points specified by the lattice point specification data by the
weighting coefficients and thereby interpolates the table. In the image
processing apparatus, this table to be interpolated stores color correction data
in a color spacer (R, G, B).
