Abstract: A system and method for driving a thin film diode
(TFD) inclusive AMLCD or imaging device (e.g. x-ray
imager) includes providing each pixel with a pair of
select lines and a single data line. Drive schemes are
provided which increase the circuits tolerance for
spacial and temporal variations in diode (e.g. MIM diode)
characteristics, improve response time, increase the
circuit's tolerance for RC delays on data lines, and
reduces the potential for crosstalk or image retention.
In certain embodiments, where each pixel includes a pair
of select lines, and a single data line, the select
voltage on the first select line alternates between V S  +
V offset  and V S  - V offset  for subsequent frames, while the
select voltage on the other select line alternates
between -V S  + V offset  and -V S  - V offset  for subsequent frames,
thereby allowing voltage at the common node to be added
to the data voltage. Drive schemes herein are used in
conjunction with row inversion driving of pixel arrays,
and some embodiments are also compatible with column
inversion, frame inversion, and/or pixel inversion.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and apparatus for continuously upgrading the color
calibration for an electrophotographic printer using a color transform look up table stored in memory.
A single or small number of color patch samples are printed at regular intervals during the use of the
printing machine. The color patches are sensed and a determination made as to the difference
between the sensed color and the desired color. A corrective color calibration value is determined
for the sensed patch and a correction is made for that color in the printer memory. The process is
repeated to assure that all of the colors within the gamut of the machine are continuously updated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing playback of audio and video frames
from a program source associates an audio presentation time stamp ("PTS") value
with an output audio frame. Selected ones of audio and video data packets include
respective audio and video PTS values representing desired playback times of the
respective audio and data associated therewith. The selected ones of the audio data
packets further include audio frame numbers representing a number of output frames
of audio to be played back between the selected ones of the audio data packets. The
method comprises storing the audio and video PTS values in respective audio and
video PTS tables (302, 304) during an audio demultiplexing process. In addition, the
audio frame numbers are stored in frame counters (309) in association with respective
PTS values during the demultiplexing process. Thereafter, the process sequentially
decodes the audio and video input data to produce respective frames of audio and
video which are presented to the user. With the presentation of each audio and video
frame, the respective audio and video frame counters (309) are selectively
decremented. Upon detecting one of the audio frame counters having a zero value,
the audio PTS value for that zero value audio frame counter is retrieved. Thereafter,
the playback of the audio and video frames is selectively modified so that frames of
audio and video are played back in synchronization.

coupler 7 to a value smaller than a reference impedance
Z0 (50 Ω in general) and setting the impedance of a second

Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of split

Abstract: A method is described for grinding a composite workpiece (18) to
form a component having concentric (31) and eccentric cylindrical
regions (30). The method comprises mounting the workpiece (18) in a
computer controlled grinding machine (10) having a grinding wheel (12)
the advance and withdrawal of which is controllable by a
programme entered into the controlling computer (32), loading a
wheelfeed controlling programme into the computer, relatively
positioning the grinding wheel and the workpiece to align the
wheel with a first selected region of the workpiece, advancing
the grinding wheel towards the selected region so as to grind
the surface thereof, controlling the wheelfeed so as to
maintain grinding contact between the grinding wheel and the
workpiece so as either to grind a concentric cylindrical region
thereon or an eccentric (offset) cylindrical region thereon as
required, information about each selected region of the
workpiece being stored in the computer and addressed as
appropriate so that the wheelfeed can be controlled
appropriately depending on whether a selected workpiece region
is to be ground as a concentric or an eccentric (offset)
cylindrical region. The method allows a workpiece having both
concentric and eccentric (offset) cylindrical regions thereon
to be ground using a single grinding machine under computer
control without demounting the workpiece from the machine. The
method also envisages introducing small advance and retract
movements in the wheelfeed whilst the grinding wheel is engaged
in grinding a concentric cylindrical workpiece region so as to
introduce into the ground region an eccentricity which is equal
and opposite to any eccentricity which grinding process forces
introduce into the ground region, so that the two
eccentricities cancel out. A computer controlled grinding
machine is described as are programmes for controlling the
machine.

Abstract: Optimization of distances between each of an array of
imaging devices and the surface of an oppositely disposed
rotating drum is accomplished without disturbing the mechanical
mounting of the imaging devices. For each device, an optimal
distance from the recording construction is established; at
this optimal distance, corresponding to substantially proper
focus, maximum energy density is delivered to a recording
medium on the drum. Rather than alter the actual device-to-drum
distance to conform to this optimum, the optical paths
between the devices and the drum are changed by varying the
spacing between the radiation source (e.g., the end of a fiber-optic
cable) and the assembly. This alters the point of focus,
and therefore has the same practical effect as moving the
device itself. The invention also provides a technique for
determining the optimal device-to-drum distance by means of a
sequence of imaged regions applied at different device-to-drum
distances.
