Abstract: Contention communications often requires a station to wait an inordinate amount of time before the station is able to transmit its data successfully. In many applications, an extended delay is not acceptable. Contention-free communications in a contention period allows a hydrid coordinator (HC) to schedule contention-free access to a communications medium so that extended delays may be eliminated, and to coordinate contention access to the medium so that better throughput and delay performance is achieved. A method for creating contention-free communications within a contention communications period is presented, along with adaptive algorithms for contention access during the same contention period.

Abstract: A controller controls an air-fuel ratio of an engine to maintain the oxygen storage
amount of a catalyst provided in an exhaust passage at a predetermined amount.
At this time, the controller first estimates the initial value of the oxygen storage
amount based on the catalyst temperature on engine startup, and then computes an
oxygen storage characteristic using this estimated initial value. In this way, the
oxygen storage amount can be precisely computed even immediately after engine
startup, and the conversion efficiency of the catalyst is maintained at a high level.

Abstract: A radiation image read-out apparatus including a lens
array and a line sensor for reading an image recorded on a
stimulable phosphor sheet provides a read-out image of high
quality which is free from a spurious pattern due to non-aperture
regions of the lens array. A first memory stores
an image signal representing the image recorded on the
stimulable phosphor sheet. Spurious pattern signal
calculating means calculates a spurious pattern signal based
on positions of the non-aperture regions on the lens array.
The spurious pattern signal is stored in a second memory.
Image modification means reads the image signal and the
spurious pattern signal from the first and second memories
to calculate a processed image signal free from any spurious
pattern signal on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The spurious
pattern signal may instead be obtained by causing the
apparatus to read a uniform radiation image recorded on the
stimulable phosphor sheet.

signals into a plurality of groups, the number of groups typically
equal to a number of cells in the cell-based transmission
matrix, where each group comprises a signal from each frequency
used in the frequency reuse pattern. Each group of uplink signals
is then separated (1502) into subband signals, which are
then grouped (1504) together into groups of similar subband
signals. The groups of similar subband signals are then forwarded
(1506) to demodulators for processing within the satellite
system (Fig. 2).

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a display
apparatus which can be miniaturized and is operated stably even
at high resolution. 
     The display apparatus according to the present invention
includes a pixel array unit, a signal line driving circuit, and
a scanning line driving circuit, each of which is formed by using
a polysilicon TFT on a glass substrate, a control circuit, and
a graphic controller IC. Since the graphic controller IC
rearranges digital pixel data DATA in the inside, it is unnecessary
to provide a gate array. Since the cycle of a clock signal CLK
is twice as much as that of the digital pixel data DATA, the clock
signal CLK having a frequency at which the polysilicon TFT normally
operates can be supplied to the signal line driving circuit.
Further, since the edge of the clock signal CLK is deviated from
the changing position of the digital pixel data DATA and they
are outputted, the signal line driving circuit can effectively
capture the digital pixel data DATA.

Abstract: Systems and methods of manufacturing etchable heterojunction interfaces
and etched heterojunction structures are described. A bottom layer (14) is
deposited on a substrate (16), a transition etch layer (20) is deposited over the
bottom layer (14), and a top layer (12) is deposited over the transition etch layer
(20). The transition etch layer (20) substantially prevents the bottom layer (14)
and the top layer (12) from forming a material characterized by a composition
substantially different than the bottom layer (14) and a substantially non-selective
etchability with respect to the bottom layer (14). By tailoring the structure of the
heterojunction interface to respond to heterojunction etching processes with
greater predictability and control, the transition etch layer (20) enhances the
robustness of previously unreliable heterojunction device manufacturing
processes. The transition etch layer (20) enables one or more vias (72) to be
etched down to the top surface of the bottom layer (14) in a reliable and
repeatable manner. In particular, because the transition etch layer (20) enables
use of an etchant that is substantially selective with respect to the bottom layer
(14), the thickness of critical device layers may be determined by the precise
epitaxial growth processes used to form the bottom layer (14) rather than
relatively imprecise non-selective etch processes.
