IPC: G09G5/02
Filed: 1991-09-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing an image defined by electrical signals representing the colour component content of each pixel of a relatively high resolution version of the image. The apparatus comprises a first store (2) for storing the high resolution version of the image; a second store (3) for storing fringe values; and a processor (1) coupled with the first and second stores (2,3). The processor is adapted to determine for each colour component of each pixel in the first store a fringe value by determining the difference between the component values at the high resolution and at a lower resolution and to store the fringe values in the second store; to determine for each pixel the length of a vector whose components are defined by values related to the fringe values of that pixel; and to modify each original colour component value in the first store by an amount related to the respective fringe value determined in accordance with the relationship of the vector length with a threshold.

Abstract: A SCSI bus controller (S) has a separate data path from the SCSI bus to the host bus and a separate command path for use to communicate with a local microprocessor. The local microprocessor is connected to a dual port RAM, (36) the other port of which is connected to a bus master controller (20) linked to the host system. Commands and status are passed via the dual port RAM. Data is passed through a FIFO (42). The local microprocessor (24) does not have access to the data path but only controls direction of the data flow, the initiation of the sequence and the completion of the sequence.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the rate of electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis. A first high voltage power supply (30) is electrically connected to the inlet end (14) of a capillary tube (12), while a second high voltage power supply (34) is connected at an outlet end (16). The potential difference across the capillary tube (12) is therefore the difference between the high voltages. Electroosmotic flow can be controlled by varying the two high voltages correspondingly to maintain the same potential difference but to achieve a different voltage offset relative to ground. Optionally, the voltage offset may be varied during electrophoresis analysis to slow migration during periods in which constituents are closely spaced and to speed migration when constituents are sufficiently spaced apart. A conductive capillary tube coating (70) which is preferably grounded defines an external control area for electroosmotic flow. A detector (18) is located downstream of the external control area, so that the coating is a unitary layer.
