Abstract: As image data have come to be used in large volumes in recent years, statistical calculation processing of restored and sampled image data often suffers a shortage of memory capacity. In acquiring a feature amount of an image to automatically correct image data, where high-speed processing is preferred, it is judged whether the image data contain thumbnail data (step 108) and, when there are thumbnail data, "thumbnail" is set on a sampling flag (step 110) to secure a buffer for developing the thumbnail data (step 116 and step 120), the thumbnail data are developed in the buffer, and all the pixels are subjected to statistical calculation (step 126 through step 132), resulting in faster processing than where the original image data are developed and sampled. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A stapler attachment for use with an electromechanical device driver comprises a staple holding member which is spring mounted to a staple closing member, which is, in turn, mounted to a threaded driver element concentrically mounted about a threaded shaft such that staple closing member and the staple holding member can be advanced and retracted along a track within a housing. A staple is advanced by the rotation of the threaded shaft until the staple holding member is stopped against an opening lip formed in an opening at the distal staple discharging end of the housing. At this position, the prongs of the staple have been advanced out of the distal staple discharging end and into the tissue to be joined. The staple closing member continues to advance as the spring between the staple holding member and the staple closing member compresses. This advancement permits the staple closing member to deform the staple into a closed D-shape conformation. The staple is released from the attachment through the distal staple discharging end of the housing upon further advancement of the staple closing member. Reverse rotation of the threaded shaft retracts the staple closing member and staple holding member into a staple receiving position where a spring-loaded staple dispenser pushes one of a plurality of staples in a staple cartridge into a staple carrying groove of a staple carrying element of the staple holding member, in preparation for a subsequent stapling procedure.

Abstract: This method controls a copper density in a dip solder bath holding a molten solder alloy containing at least copper as an essential composition thereof during a dip soldering step of one of a printed circuit board with a surfaced copper foil and a component part having a copper lead attached thereto. The method includes a step of introducing a replenished solder containing no copper at all or a copper content having a density lower than that of the molten solder in the bath prior to the supply of the replenished solder to the bath so that the copper density in the bath is controlled to a predetermined constant density or lower. The molten solder alloy in the bath contains tin, copper and nickel as the major compositions thereof, and the replenished solder contains nickel and balanced tin, for example. Alternatively, the molten solder alloy in the bath contains tin, copper, and silver as the major components thereof, and the replenished solder contains silver and balanced tin. The copper density of the molten solder in the bath is controlled to less than 0.85 weight % at a solder temperature of about 255° C.

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck suitable for use at high temperatures having a replaceable expansion assembly, functioning as an outer tubulation and heat choke, between a chuck body and a heat transfer body. The expansion assembly accommodates differential thermal stresses between the chuck body and the heat transfer body, and/or limits direct heat conduction from the chuck body to the heat transfer body. The ability to operate the chuck at temperatures in excess of 200° C. allows it to be used for plasma etching of materials, such as platinum, which require high temperatures to volatilize low volatility etch products as well as routine plasma etching, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, ion implantation, ashing, etc. The novel design of the removably attached expansion assembly allows the chuck to be scaled for larger workpieces, to remain serviceable through more heating cycles, and to be economically serviced.

Abstract: A synchronization system for the Nebula infrastructure is described, by means of which a synchronism system is provided which permits knowing at all times the situation we are in within the chain of meters, and which likewise permits synchronization between equipment which start running at different times, without the need of a centralized synchronism system. To do so, the invention foresees the establishment of a starting instant which all the elements of the system are referenced to. The time elapsed from the starting instant is determined by use of the time reference from a GPS receptor, whose initiation carries out the synchronization of the dependent cards of the corresponding timers. Also, the PPS output of the GPS receiver permits synchronizing the meter generating the 1/4 symbol time with this signal, a precision required by the TETRA standards. <IMAGE>
