Title: Apparatus and Methods of Call Clearing in a Packet Switched Data Communication Network
Inventor: BLAUSTEN EDMOND JAMES
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1983-03-16
Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for providing call clearance in a packet-switched data communications system.

Title: Light-sensitive resin bond curing apparatus
Inventor: NARITA TOYOTA
IPC: G21K5/00
Filed: 1984-01-25
Abstract: The apparatus and method for curing bonds in component assemblies (18) formed by a light-sensitive resin bonding agent use the application of ultra-violet radiation and provide extremely rapid and thorough hardening of the bonds by excluding atmospheric oxygen and water vapor from the local environment (45) of the component assemblies (18) during the curing process. This exclusion can be implemented by providing a localized inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) atmosphere or by creating a vacuum around the component assemblies (18) while curing is in progress. Increased productivity and elimination of subsequent emission of gases from the light-sensitive resin bonding agent (32) after curing are achieved. <IMAGE>

Title: A method for compressing character or pictorial image data
Inventor: FUSE SHIGERU
IPC: G06V10/46
Filed: 1985-03-28
Abstract: A method is described for compressing character or pictorial image data into a quantity of data by means of a method which establishes blocks D-D, and stores information for specifying the outline of a character as an approximated with sets of functional curves or straight lines to effect data compression. A character outline is developed on X- and Y-coordinates and is divided by split points D into a set of blocks D-D each defined by means of a single-valued function involving x as a variable, and the character outline is approximated by means of a curve passing through a plurality of sampling points P1 to Pn established on each of said blocks. For each sampling point, the density of the sampling points in its vicinity is established. Then, a new split point on any of the blocks where the density of sampling points exceeds a prescribed threshold is established, and that block is split into two blocks by means of the new split point, Q=D'. <IMAGE>

Title: Electroluminescent display panels
Inventor: HUTCHINSON PHILIP
IPC: G09G3/30
Filed: 1985-07-01
Abstract: A DCEL display panel 13 comprises electrodes 14 for selected connection to a DC voltage of a first polarity, and second electrodes substantially orthogonal to the first electrodes 14 for selected connection to a DC voltage of a second polarity opposite to the first polarity. To avoid cross-talk some of the electrodes are connected to a discharge path to allow the electrodes of the panel that are connected to a discharge leak path to be addressed by electrode driver circuits 15 that include open-drain output circuits. The discharge path may be a resistive layer for interconnecting the electrodes and with OV, and an electrically conductive backing for the resistive layer, e.g. an antistatic material or a carbon impregnated material or any material with anisotropic conductivity backed with copper or aluminium or gold tape. Alternatively, the discharge path may comprise resistors forming part of the electronic electrode driver integrated circuit or formed on the glass substrate of the DCEL display panel, e.g. by spraying prior to panel encapsulation. The discharge path should provide a relatively low electrical resistance between electrodes and the path and a relatively high electrical resistance between interconnected electrodes. <IMAGE>
