Abstract: A vision-based operating system is provided in which a computer-based system accepts visual inputs and takes appropriate actions in a wide variety of environments. One environment is a security environment in which the vision-based operating system acquires an image of a face and determines, with an arbitrarily small probability of a false positive, whether the face is of a person who is authorized to enter the environment. The method employed may include acquiring a digital image for comparison to a reference image and identifying two or more groups of pixels in the acquired image. The pixel groups in the reference image that are the best match for the two or more pixels groups in the acquired image are selected. The relative locations of the selected pixel groups in the reference image and the two or more pixel groups in the acquired image are compared, and the probability that the relative locations occurred randomly is determined.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for scheduling the processing of a coprocessor whereby applications can submit tasks to a scheduler, and the scheduler can determine how much processing each application is entitled to as well as an order for processing. In connection with this process, tasks that require processing can be stored in physical memory or in virtual memory that is managed by a memory manager. The invention also provides various techniques of determining whether a particular task is ready for processing. A "run list" may be employed to ensure that the coprocessor does not waste time between tasks or after an interruption. The invention also provides techniques for ensuring the security of a computer system, by not allowing applications to modify portions of memory that are integral to maintaining the proper functioning of system operations.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of contributing to the reduction of recesses and projections at a top of a bump electrode.  <P>SOLUTION: At the time of forming a bump electrode 23 by electroplating on a pad electrode 17 exposed from a surface protective film in the pre-process of forming the pad electrode, the forming temperature of an aluminum-based wiring material is turned to 200-450°C. When the aluminum-based wiring material is formed in the temperature range, it is considered that a grain as a formation unit becomes large, the area of a grain boundary is reduced as a whole when the grain becomes large, and the recesses and projections of a surface after removing a natural oxide film on the pad electrode are reduced. Thus, the recess 24 on the end face of the top of the bump electrode formed on the pad electrode can be turned to a small value such as 1 micrometer or the like.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a guarantee for long-term reliability in a semiconductor apparatus loading a plurality of semiconductor devices on a mounting substrate.  <P>SOLUTION: The mounting substrate has connecting wiring (50) connecting a data input-output terminal (10c) for the first semiconductor device (3) and the data input-output terminal (11d) for the second semiconductor device (4), and has branch wiring (51) to a test terminal (12t) from an intermediate section. The place (52) of a branch is positioned near the terminal (11d) having large output drive. When the mounting substrate has the branch in the intermediate section of the wiring, the impedance of the wiring from one device terminal is made lower than that of one path by a voltage-dividing effect by the branch of the path. The degree of the reduction of the impedance from the device terminals is increased as progressing to the branch. Since the place of the branch has a larger drive capacity in, a signal outputted from the device terminal having a large drive capacity is increased in the degree of the relaxation of an overshoot and an undershoot.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
