Inventor: PIZZI MARCO
IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: An electrostatically controlled optical micro-shutter
comprising a petal (8) that can move between a
rolled-up rest condition and an operative condition,
where it is rolled-out over a fixed support. The petal
(8) moves to its operative condition following the
application of an electrical voltage between a first
electrode ((5) associated with the fixed support and a
second electrode (10) constituted by film associated
with the petal (8). The fixed support includes a
substrate (4) of a transparent material and a
dielectric layer (7), which is also transparent and
which covers the first electrode (5). The latter is
composed of a film of conductive material that is not
transparent to light and which has an aperture (6) that
allows light to pass through when the petal (8) is in
its rolled-up rest condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a circuit for allowing greater user control
over a cache memory in a data processor (20). In particular, cache control
instructions have been implemented to perform touch load, flush, and allocate
operations in data cache (54) of data cache unit (24). The control instructions
are decoded by both instruction cache unit (26) and sequencer (34) to provide
necessary control and address information to load/store unit (28). Load/store
unit (28) sequences execution of each of the instructions, and provides
necessary control and address information to data cache unit (24) at an
appropriate point in time. Cache control logic (60) subsequently processes
both the address and control information to provide external signals which are
necessary to execute each of the cache control instructions. Additionally,
cache control logic (60) provides an external transfer code signal which allows
a user to know when a cache transaction is performed.

air to the burner and discharging combustion exhaust
gases from the burner through a porous body, and a branch
air supply pipe opening/closing valve for selectively supplying

opening/closing valve to burn the fuel gas on both the
burner blocks, providing an effective heating area of a
larger diameter on the upper panel. When the capacity selector
switch is shifted to a "low capacity" position, the
controller opens the main gas valve and closes the branch
air supply pipe opening/closing valve to burn the fuel gas
on one of the burner blocks only, providing an effective
heating area of a smaller diameter on the upper panel.

illumination change are provided. The image retrieval method involves:
inputting a query image; detecting an illumination color from the query image
and converting the illumination color into a standard illumination color;
extracting color information of the query image by using color descriptors; and
retrieving a similar image by comparing the extracted color information with
color information of a database which converts a variety of images into images
of standard illumination colors and extracts and stores the color information of
