Title: Method and apparatus for providing improved data compression efficiency for an adaptive data compressor
Inventor: CRAFT DAVID JOHN
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 1998-04-03
Granted: 2000-11-01
Abstract: A method for providing improved data compression efficiency to a data compressor unit is disclosed. Before sending the uncompressed data stream to the data compressor unit, an incoming data byte from the uncompressed data stream is first compared with a preceding data byte from the uncompressed data stream. A first counter value is incremented in response to a match between the incoming data byte and the preceding data byte. A second counter value is then incremented in response to subsequent matches between an incoming data byte and its preceding data byte after the first counter value has reached a preset value. The second counter value is finally sent to the data compressor unit at the completion of a run of the incoming data byte in substitution of a portion of the run, such that the data compressor unit can quickly resume its optimal compression ratio after an occurrence of the run within the uncompressed data stream.

Title: Shape memory cords for reinforcing pneumatic types, rubberized fabrics, pneumatic types comprising the said cords, and processes
Inventor: CIPPARRONE MARCO
IPC: C22C19/03
Filed: 1998-10-27
Granted: 2001-06-07
Abstract: Process for the manufacture of a reinforcing fabric for articles made from rubber, such as pneumatic tyres, conveyor belts, flexible tubes, and similar, comprising a plurality of metal cords orientated parallel to each other in a single direction and in which each cord comprises metal wires wound spirally around each other, wherein at least one of the wires of the cord consists of a shape memory material. During the phase of incorporation of the cords into the elastomeric material, the shape memory wire tends to recover the shape memorized initially and, by means of the force generated during this recovery transmits by friction to the surrounding wires forces tending to shorten the pitch of the cord with spacing of each wire from the next, resulting in good penetration of elastomeric material between the wires. The closure of the cord is maintained in the subsequent heat cycles, owing to the memory degradation characteristics imparted to the wire. The invention is particularly suitable for fabrics forming belt layers and casing plies in pneumatic tyres.

Abstract: An implicit surface is defined by a time dependent implicit surface model. From the implicit surface model a first and second mesh of control points of a first and second non-linear coordinate valued functions such as second degree Bezier functions are computed respectively. The first and second non-linear coordinate valued function represent approximations of the implicit surface at a first and second point in time respectively. The points of the first mesh are used as a starting point for computing an approximation of the second mesh of points. The surfaces defined by the first and second non-linear coordinate valued function respectively are rendered for example by approximating each by a respective mesh of flat triangles.

Title: Chemical mechanical polishing method with planetary motion mechanism
Inventor: CHEN SHIUE-JUNG
IPC: B24B7/24
Filed: 1999-03-19
Granted: 2000-03-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a kind of chemical mechanical polishing method with planetary motion mechanism. The method employs planetary motion between wafer and polishing pad so as to improve the relative speed distribution on the wafer surface. The so-called relative speed means the relative speed between wafer and polishing pad. By the planetary motion mechanism, not only the wafer can be polished by different part of polishing pad, but also the relative speed distribution on wafer surface can be changed following by the planetary motion. Because any two relative positions in the planetary motion are approximately opposite in relative speed, the relative speed distribution on wafer surface can be adjusted. The polishing speed of each part of wafer surface are approximately equal by the planetary motion mechanism, so that the uniformity of polished wafer surface can be enhanced.
