Abstract: A contour decoding apparatus decodes a bitstream of
contour information encoded using a chain code. A
demultiplexing unit (21) separates the bitstream of the
contour information into start contour pixel information
and chain code information. A start contour pixel decoder
(22) decodes start contour pixel information separated by
the demultiplexing unit and outputs horizontal and
vertical coordinate values of the start pixel. A chain
code decoding means (23-27, SW1-SW3) stores horizontal and
vertical coordinate values of previous contour pixel,
selects an incremental and decremental value designated by
the chain code information output from the demultiplexing
unit, calculates coordinate values of a next contour pixel
using the selected incremental and decremental value and
the coordinate values decoded by the start contour pixel
decoder (22) or stored previous coordinates values decoded
by the start contour pixel decoder (22) or stored previous
coordinates values, and calculates coordinate values of
the next contour pixel using the coordinate values of the
previous contour pixel and the incremental and decremental
value designated by the chain code information. A contour
pixel representation unit (28) represents values
representing a contour pixel on a pixel position
designated by the coordinate values decoded by the start
contour pixel decoder (22) and the chain code decoding
unit (23-27, SW1-SW3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor laser
equipped with a novel window structure, thereby realizing
higher output, and a method of making the same. The method
is a method of making a semiconductor laser having a window
structure transparent to emitted laser light. In
particular, into a laminate structure comprising a
semiconductor substrate (2), a lower cladding layer (6), an active
layer (8), and an upper cladding layer (10,14), impurity atoms is
implanted to a predetermined region of the upper cladding
layer (10,14) by ion implantation method, thereby forming an
impurity implanted region (X) above the active layer (8). Further,
in this method, after the laminate structure is heat-treated
to such an extent that the impurity atom fails to reach the
active layer (8), the laminate structure is cleaved in the area
where the impurity atom is implanted, thus yielding a
semiconductor laser. As a result of such a heat treatment,
the vacancies generated upon ion implantation diffuse into
the active layer (8), whereas the impurity atoms themselves do
not diffuse into the active layer. This vacancy diffusion
forms, in the vicinity of the cleavage plane in the active
layer, a window structure in which a well layer and barrier
layers which constitute the quantum well structure are
selectively interdiffused. This window structure
suppresses the catastrophic optical damage during high
output operation.

Abstract: Das Verfahren regelt den Zugriff mehrerer Rechner auf Daten
eines zentralen Rechners. Dabei sind in dem Verfahren
generell Operationen auf lokalen Kopien einer echten
Teilmenge durch Rechner möglich. Zur Synchronisation werden
Protokolldateien, die die Operationen auf den replizierten
Daten enthalten, zum zentralen Rechner geschickt. Wenn es bei
der Synchronisation zu zahlreichen Konflikten durch den
Zugriff mehrerer Rechner auf die gleichen Datensätze auf dem
zentralen Rechners kommt, kann das Verfahren geregelten
Zugriff auf die gemeinsamen Daten und damit die Lösung der
Konflikte anbieten. Diese Veränderung der Betriebsweise zur
Auflösung von Konflikten beim Zugriff auf gemeinsame Daten
kann auch automatisch mittels vorgebbarer Schwellwerte für
akzeptable und inakzeptable Kollisionszahlen erfolgen. Sollen
Konflikte generell vermieden werden, wie z.B. bei
Bankanwendungen, so stellt das Verfahren den Dienst von
Transaktionen bereit, die entweder vollständig ausgeführt
werden, oder vollständig rückgängig gemacht werden können.
Mögliche Anwendungen sind u.a.: Kundenbetreuung eines
Außendienstmitarbeiters, elektronische Überweisung, mobile
Bestandsverwaltung, etc.

Abstract: A control system of a game apparatus such as a
racing game apparatus has a CPU for controlling a signal
processor based on a program stored in a computer-readable
recording medium to process three-dimensional
image data for perspective projection and horizontal image
distortion correction for images to be projected onto
a curved projection screen. The CPU also controls an image
display processor to write the processed image data
into a RAM, from which the image data is supplied to an
image projector to project the images onto the curved
projection screen. The curved projection screen gives a
game player, e.g., a racing car driver, a horizontally
long panoramic view in front of the game player, so the
the images displayed on the curved projection screen look
wide and realistic.

Abstract: A ROM constituting a variable length coding
table of 2 picture element range is provided. A motion
vector within the range of 2 picture elements is given to
the ROM to provide a VLC code corresponding to the motion
vector within the range of 2 picture elements. In a
calculation circuit, assuming that the value of a motion
vector within the range of 4 picture elements is X, a
quotient Y and a remainder Z are obtained by the division
of X by 2. The quotient Y is supplied to the ROM whose
output is added the remainder Z at an additional circuit
to obtain a VLC code corresponding to the motion vector
lying within the range of 4 picture elements. This is
equivalent to the coding at the variable length coding for
four-picture element range. By sending a flag indicating
whether a motion vector range is 2 picture elements or 4
picture elements, the motion vector is correctly
reproduced from the VLC code. By the use of the single
table ROM, a motion vector within the range of 2 picture
elements and 4 picture elements can be coded to reduce the
load imposed on the hardware.

regulating winding 62 of the regulation transformer. Second
terminals (windings of the other of rotors or stators) are
connected in series with an excited winding (52) of the
series transformer. The control system applies control
signals to the first rotary phase shifting transformer and
the second rotary phase shifting transformer to obtain
desired phase angles  E1 ,  E2  between the rotor and stator of
each transformer, and thereby achieve an effective phase
shift  PFC  and a voltage magnitude ratio T PFC  between the
first electrical area and the second electrical area.

Abstract: A print head 2 has multiple nozzle groups 2a, 2b spaced apart in the
sub-scanning direction by a prescribed inter-group distance pn i . Each
nozzle group 2a, 2b has multiple nozzles aligned in the sub-scanning
direction at a nozzle pitch k. In a first printing scheme in which the
nozzle groups record different raster lines, the inter-group distance pn i  is
set to a value different from the nozzle pitch k. Since the nozzle pitch k
need be secured only within the nozzle groups 2a, 2b individually, a print
head 2 with many nozzles can be readily obtained. Interlace printing can
be effected by selecting the total number of nozzles N, the number of nozzle
groups M, the number of scans S and the nozzle pitch k to make N/(M · S)
and k/M relatively prime and effecting sub-scanning at a constant pitch of
N/S dots. In a second printing scheme in which multiple nozzle groups
record every raster line, the selection is made to make N/(M·S) and k
relatively prime and sub-scanning is effected at a constant pitch of
N/(M·S) dots.

Abstract: A convolutional interleaver performs convolutional
interleaving for a data group in which the input/output data
width is b bits, the depth, i.e., the number of data in bit width
units, is m, the number of channels is n, and the maximum channel
number is C (n = integer satisfying the relation 0≦n≦C, b,m,C =
natural numbers). This interleaver includes a delay unit
comprising first and second delay units and performing a delay of
nT for data of the n-th channel (T = a predetermined amount of
delay, T>0). The first delay unit performs a delay of iS (S = a
predetermined amount of delay, 0<S≦T) for the i-th group amongst
groups into which all the channels are grouped such that each
group comprises at most k channels, and the second delay unit
performs a delay equivalent to a deficiency in the delay of the
first delay unit for the delay of nT to be given to the data of
the n-th channel. Therefore, delays to be commonly generated
between channels in each group are generated together by the
first delay unit, and delays including differences in delays
between the channels are individually generated by the second
delay unit, whereby control and structure of the delay means can
be simplified.
