Abstract: In order to obtain a field angle wider than that determined by a lens of a photographing apparatus by means of image processing, a given image is selected as a reference image from a still image train acquired by photographing an object by time-serially changing the visual point position and direction, a procedure for coordinate-transforming specific points in the respective images onto a two-dimensional coordinate system identical to that of the reference image is derived, a two-dimensional space is Voronoi-divided in correspondence with the specific points based on the derived procedure, the respective images are coordinate-transformed using a coordinate transform procedure for transforming the respective images to the reference images, and the coordinate information of each of the coordinate-transformed images is inserted in one of the Voronoi domains including the specific points of the respective images. 
     In order to provide a rearranging method of the form and external pattern in a three-dimensional scene, and an apparatus therefor, which can easily create a geometric form model on the basis of, e.g., photographs of a building without measuring the heights and widths of walls of an actual building using a tape measure or the like, a three-dimensional form is rearranged on the basis of a group of a plurality of images obtained by photographing a three-dimensional space from a plurality of visual points, an external pattern of a form area, which is exactly or roughly equal to a uniform plane, is produced, and the external pattern is stored in correspondence with the designated area and position of the three-dimensional form.

The system includes a plurality of configuration memory cells which are loaded with configuration information. A time slice selector [15] couples selected configuration memory cells [12] to programmable switch elements [11] that determine the configuration and function of the logic within the FPGA. A time slice controller [19] determines which of the configuration memory cells the time slice selector [15] couples to the programmable switch elements [11]. The configuration memory cells may be implemented with half SRAM cells and the time slice selector [15] may be implemented with P-channel transistors.

Abstract: A digital data radio receiver and method evaluates a data signal preamble received on an antenna to determine whether the antenna should receive the data signal following the preamble. The receiver determines frequency offsets from a desired frequency for each symbol in a block of symbols in the preamble, determines the variance of the frequency offsets, determines the average magnitude of the symbols in the block of symbols, where the determination of average magnitude may be performed in parallel with the determination of variance of the frequency offsets, and evaluates the variance and the average magnitude for the block of symbols to determine whether the preamble is actually noise and to assess reception quality at the antenna. In a two antenna diversity receiver system, these steps may be performed first on a block of symbols received at one antenna and then performed on the next block of symbols received at another antenna. This provides two evaluations that may be compared to select the antenna with the best reception.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method of preserving plywood, particle board and similar wood composite products made from wood pieces/particles and a binder used to adhere such wood pieces/particles together against rot and mould decay. According to the invention, the preservative of the wood material is a complexing agent which is capable of binding transition group metals and is admixed into the binder used in the manufacture of said wood composite products prior to the formation of said product. The invention also concerns a binder composition, which contains a polymer resin as its adhesive component and a complexing agent, particularly an aminotetracarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, by approx. 1-30 wt.-% as the preservative of the wood material, and a method of producing said binder composition. Tests performed on faced plywood indicated that a water-soluble, environmentally safe complexing agent offers a white rot resistance which is superior to conventional preservatives commonly used today.

Abstract: According to the present invention, when a vehicle
speed is less than a set value (e.g., 40 km/h) and a throttle
opening degree is more than a set value, it is determined that
the vehicle is accelerating, and a viscous clutch (6) is turned
off. Therefore, a shearing operation of high-viscosity fluid
by a rotor (53) of a viscous heater (7) is not performed. In
this way, a driving load applied to an engine is reduced, so
that an accelerating state suitable for an intention of a
driver can be obtained. Further, when the vehicle speed is
more than a set value (e.g., 40 km/h) and an engine rotational
speed is more than a set value (e.g., 3500 r.p.m.), the viscous
clutch (6) is turned off, and a driving load applied to the
engine and a V-belt (4) is reduced.

Abstract: Processes for cleaning a silicon body and for
controllably decreasing the thickness of a silicon dioxide
layer (25) overlying a silicon substrate (15) are disclosed.
The processes comprise chemically etching a silicon dioxide
layer (25) with a dilute etchant in the presence of a megasonic
field. The concentration of the etchant is preferably less
than its diffusion-rate-limiting threshold concentration at a
given temperature. When aqueous alkaline hydroxyl ion etchants
are employed, the concentration of etchant is preferably less
than about 300 ppm by weight relative to water. The etching
is discontinued before the silicon substrate is exposed to the
etchant. The etch rate is controlled to within about 2 x 10 -5 
µm/min (0.2 Å/min) of a target etch rate which ranges from
about 3 x 10 -5  µm/min (0.3 Å/min) to about 4 x 10 -4  µm/min (4.0
Å/min). A simpler, more cost-effective chemical process for
robustly cleaning silicon bodies or for producing very thin
gate oxides is achieved.

Abstract: A receiving portion of a radio communication device includes
a circuit periodically moving into a sleep mode of operation. The
circuit periodically moves out of the sleep mode of operation in
response to a re-activation signal. A first clock signal is generated.
Clock pulses in the first clock signal are counted. The re-activation
signal is generated each time the number of the counted clock
pulses in the first clock signal reaches an updatable number. A
second clock signal is generated which has a frequency higher than
a frequency of the first clock signal. Clock pulses in the second
clock signal are counted during every time interval determined by
the first clock signal. An error of the frequency of the first clock
signal with respect to the frequency of the second clock signal is
calculated on the basis of a result of the counting of clock pulses in
the second clock signal. The updatable number is set in response to
the calculated error of the frequency of the first clock signal.
