needle to contact to emitter electrode positioned in
the region which adjoins to the preceding region beyond
the insulation wall, a trench to bridge between emitter
opening 301 and emitter region 13, burying emitter
electrode polysilicon in the trench to connect them
electrically, and base opening 401 of a size of said

Abstract: In acquiring and reproducing an image, my method and apparatus correct for spurious gray background. Image brightness is sensed in multiple regions of an original image, to provide a corresponding multiplicity of signals for use in reproducing the image. In response to the multiple signals, a corresponding multiplicity of corrected signals is provided by adjusting each signal. The amount of adjustment depends on the size of the signal, and preferably includes jitter -  i. e. , a random component. Preferably the random component is partially smoothed. The multiple corrected signals are used in reproduction of the image. Preferably the dependence of adjustment on signal size is a multivalued monotonic function. Preferably the function increases the brightness of image regions that are already relatively more bright, in comparison with image regions that are relatively less bright. Preferably the signals represent relative amounts of black, or darkness of a chromatic color; and for each signal a choice is made automatically between the greater of (1) zero and (2) a corresponding one of the multiple signals.

Abstract: A printing system reduces a total amount of
discharge of at least three different color inks that
are mixable to express hues in a predetermined range
without deteriorating the degree of granularity. The
printing system reads recording ratios of the respective
color inks corresponding to input tone data regarding
the respective color inks from tables TC, TM, and TY and
forms dots according to the recording ratios. Yellow
ink Y has a higher dye density than a balancing density
that ensures a color balance. This makes the recording
ratio of the yellow ink Y lower than the recording
ratios of cyan ink C and magenta ink M. The yellow ink
Y has high lightness, so that sparely formed dots do not
increase the degree of granularity even in an area of
low tone data. The enhanced density of the yellow ink Y
reduces the total amount of inks discharged from a head
to satisfy a required printing density.

Abstract: A key-phrase detection and verification method that can be advantageously used
to realize understanding of flexible ( i.e.,  unconstrained) speech. A "multiple pass"
procedure is applied to a spoken utterance comprising a sequence of words ( i.e.,  a
"sentence"). First, a plurality of key-phrases are detected  (i.e.,  recognized) based on a
set of phrase sub-grammars which may, for example, be specific to the state of the
dialogue. These key-phrases are then verified by assigning confidence measures thereto
and comparing these confidence measures to a threshold, resulting in a set of verified
key-phrase candidates. Next, the verified key-phrase candidates are connected into
sentence hypotheses based upon the confidence measures and predetermined  (e.g.,  task-specific)
semantic information. And, finally, one or more of these sentence hypotheses
are verified to produce a verified sentence hypothesis and, from that, a resultant
understanding of the spoken utterance.

Abstract: The invention pertains to solid-state imaging
devices and methods of operating the imaging devices for
imaging objects having a wide dynamic range of
illumination levels. The imaging device preferably
comprises a two-dimensional array of photosensors, such
as photodiodes, arranged in columns and even and odd
rows. The photosensors accumulate signal charges
corresponding to the incident light flux for an
accumulation time. In one embodiment, the even and odd
rows accumulate signal charges for different
accumulation times. The signal charges from adjacent
rows and the same column are preferably summed. In
addition, the accumulation times for the even and odd
rows preferably alternate between a first and a second
accumulation time. Alternatively, alternate image
fields acquire signal charge for alternating
accumulation times. The longer accumulation time is set
so that one or more of the photosensors saturates.

A and a bank B. A first layer pixel stored at the bank A in the first memory (2) is

read, and by subtracting the first layer pixel from the second layer pixel, a first pixel
is finally determined and is written onto the bank A in the second memory that stored
the second layer pixel. At the same time, a first layer pixel stored at the bank B in
the first memory is read while a first layer pixel stored at the bank B in the second
memory is read, and by summing these first layer pixels, the original second layer
pixel is determined and the value stored at the bank B address in the second memory,
which is the first layer pixel, is then rewritten to the original second layer pixel.
