Abstract: The circuit configuration for the generation of clock signals
for a semiconductor memory (14) that are edge-synchronous with
the output signals of a clock generator (16) comprises an input
stage (20) to which the output signals of the clock generator
(16) are applied. It furthermore contains a phase detector (30)
which receives the signals output by the input stage (20) and
whose output signals control a voltage-controlled oscillator
(34) which supplies the clock signals for the semiconductor
memory (14). It also contains a conversion stage (42) which
applies signals related to the output signals of the oscillator
(34) to the phase detector (30), which controls the oscillator
in such a way that the phase difference between the signals
reaching it from the input stage (20) and the signals also
reaching it from the conversion stage (42) becomes zero. The
input stage (20) comprises an amplifier (44) containing a
circuit component (62) capable of influencing the signal
transit time. This circuit component (62) is controlled in such
a way as to change the signal transit time in inverse
proportion to the changes of the output signals of the clock
generator (16).

Abstract: The present invention seeks to increase an aperture ratio of
a liquid crystal device. Reflective display and transmissive
display are performed by driving liquid crystal (region b)
in a predetermined area in a non-crossing region by using an
oblique electric field. Light passed through the region b
when a voltage is applied is shaded since the liquid crystal
material in the region b is driven. Accordingly, at a
position of a second substrate 2b corresponding to the
region b, it is not necessary to provide a shading film 22.
Consequently, a line width S1 of the shading film 22 can be
designed to be smaller compared to that of a conventional
one, and hence, a high aperture ratio can be obtained.

Abstract: A higher order mode generator is for converting the
0 th  order fundamental guiding mode into higher modes higher
than the 0 th  order in a waveguide. The waveguide is made
from thermo-optic materials in which the refractive index
is changed according to the applied electrical power. The
waveguide has at least two guiding modes and a straight
heater or a linear electrode to invoke refractive index
perturbation due to temperature or electric field, and is
laid across the waveguide at a certain tilt angle α with
respect to the waveguide. When there is no external
electric power applied to the heater/electrode, the 0 th 
order single mode light of the waveguide will be propagated
through the waveguide without any conversion into higher
order modes. When electric power is applied, the refractive
index of the waveguide beneath the heater changes and
higher order modes can be excited by external control.

Abstract: A user presets in a PC information, such as the user's favourite program categories, artist names, as key information. A receiver receives a digital radio broadcast in which additional information is multiplexed with audio information. The received additional information is transferred to the PC via communications means. The PC determines whether the preset key information is included in the additional information. If the key information is included, the additional information is stored in a storage device as an additional information file. Alternatively, the additional information is transmitted on a communications network with an ID of an information processing terminal at a user-specified destination attached thereto. The arrangement may be such that when a connection is established between the receiver and the PC via the communications means, the key information is transmitted from the PC to the receiver so that additional information can be selected on the receiver.

Abstract: There are provided an ink jet printer capable of
printing efficiently by reducing the useless operation
dependent on the width of a print image to thereby
increase the printing speed and an image printing
system incorporating the ink jet printer, as well as
printing methods therefor. In one aspect, a print head
capable of simultaneously printing M dots at a
predetermined nozzle pitch in an X -axis direction is
scanned in the X-axis and a Y-axis direction, to print
an image on a medium. The print image width in the Y-axis
direction is detected. Depending on the width, a
head moving pitch in the X-axis direction relative scan
is determined. The scanning of the head in the X-axis
direction relative to the print medium prints maximum M
dot lines along the X-axis juxtaposed in the Y-axis
direction. The scanning of the head in the Y-axis
direction is effected by moving the head relative to
the medium at the head moving pitch, after printing by
the scanning of the head in the X-axis direction. In
another aspect, odd number-time printing is carried out
in a predetermined area such that the head starts from
a starting point to an end point along a predetermined
path. Even number-time printing is carried out in the
predetermined area such that the head starts from the
end point to the starting point along the path. After
each printing, the medium is fed in the X-axis
direction by an amount of the unitary print image.

Abstract: For the manufacture of multilayer actuators, the laminate is split into several actuators, which are pyrolized and then sintered. Because lamination in the unsintered body often produces non-homogeneity in the density, and the shrinkage during the firing of the ceramic is not of a constant value, the final geometry of the actuators can only be accurately obtained by the hardening of the sintered actuators. But in this case the internal electrode layers deposited in the actuators are thereby also processed, which can cause electrical flashovers and leakage currents during operation. Thus, according to the invention, a procedure is provided in which the block of the stacked green films provided with internal electrodes is laminated, that at least one actuator is separated from the block, that the actuator obtains its shape by means of a machining operation, that it is then sintered, that the sinter skin produced by the sintering is used as an insulating layer and that the sinter skin is abraded at the points where the internal electrodes are connected to the external electrodes.

Abstract: A technique for digitally capturing a high contrast color image involves
simultaneously capturing image data from bright and dark areas using an image
sensor (214; 314) with pixels of the same color that have different sensitivities to
the bright and dark areas. The image data from the different sensitivity pixels is
then used to generate a final image that includes features from both the bright
and dark areas. An embodiment of a digital imaging system includes an image
sensor with a first group of pixels that have a first sensitivity to a first color and a
second group of pixels that have a second sensitivity to the same color. Image
data that is captured by the two groups of pixels is brought to a common scale by
a scaling unit (524) before the image data is used to generate demosaiced image
data. The scaled image data is used by a demosaic unit (526) to determine
intensity values for the first color at all of the pixel locations. Errors in the
demosaiced intensity values that result from capturing the first color image data
with pixels of two different sensitivities are corrected by an error correction unit
(528) to generate a final image that accurately depicts the original high contrast
color image.

Abstract: An efficient computation of low-dimensional linear subspaces that optimally contain the set of
images that are generated by varying the illumination impinging on the surface of a three-dimensional
object for many different relative positions of that object and the viewing camera.
The matrix elements of the spatial covariance matrix for an object are calculated for an arbitrary
pre-determined distribution of illumination conditions. The maximum complexity is reduced for
the model by approximating any pair of normal-vector and albedo from the set of all such pairs
of albedo and normals with the centers of the clusters that are the result of the vector
quantization of this set. For an object, a viewpoint-independent covariance matrix whose
complexity is large, but practical, is constructed and diagonalized off-line. A viewpoint-dependent
covariance matrix is computed from the viewpoint-independent diagonalization
results and is diagonalized online in real time.

into an ionization chamber to ionize volatile gases. The UV lamp comprises a sealed
envelope containing inert gases and a pair of driving electrodes disposed outside the sealed
envelope to induce a glow discharge of the inert gases. An ion detector is disposed in the
ionization chamber to detect the produced ions. 
     During operation of the PID, the effectiveness
decreases due to contamination formed in the ionization chamber. To remove the
contamination, the pump is turned off while maintaining the transmission of the UV lamp.
Thus the UV light creates an ozone discharge which accumulates in the ionization
chamber. Ozone is a strong oxidant which etches and removes the contamination from the
ionization chamber.
