Abstract: An amalgam has a base metal including bismuth in an amount selected from the range between about 45 wt% and 65 wt%, and lead in an amount selected from the range between about 35 wt% and 55 wt%. The amalgam also includes mercury the amount of which is selected from the range between about 1 wt% and 12 wt% of the total amount of the amalgam.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus for decoding and executing instructions in a parallel manner in a variable word length instruction format. A plurality of decoders is used in which while the primary instruc­tion decoder (12) is decoding an instruction, the probability of parallel decoding of the next instruction is detected, so that the primary instruction decoder and a secondary instruction decoder (13) decode a variable word length instruction and a fixed word length instruction, respectively, in a parallel manner. A conditional branch instruction of a fixed word length and the subsequent instruction of a variable word length are decoded and executed in a parallel manner to increase the speed at which the conditional branch instruction is executed.

Abstract: A method for colour conversion comprising the steps of converting an n-bit original colour data supplied for each pixel to an m-bit (n>m) new colour data; comparing the new colour data with each other and the original colour data with each other with respect to a current pixel and a previous pixel which is a pixel immediately preceding the current pixel; and changing the value of the new colour data and sending it to a display unit when a match of the new colour data and a mismatch of the orignal colour data are detected by said comparison. 
     This method therefore enables a colour data conversion characterised in that a change in the original colour can be recognised on a display screen.

Abstract: Method of tele-information (tele-driving) for any driving of a vehicle or pedestrian to a determined destination characterized by transmitters of regulable range positioned on each crossing or in between the roads and each of them transmits a codified signal by means of an electromagnetic or ultraviolet radiation signal which is the identification of the transmitter and at the same time, the identification of the geographic spot whereon it has been installed and from an antenna-receiver-computer, positioned on a vehicle or portable, characterized by that it receives the various codified signals from the transmitter which is able to transmit also from a direction wherefrom the vehicle passes, which transmitter processes the signals and correlates them to the programmed series of codes which determines the right course to be followed by the vehicle in order to arrive to its destination and indicates to its driver the distance from its destination and through sound (voice or signal) or optical signals in which crosses he is to turn right or left, in which point of the course he failed and when he is expected to reach the target. 
     Method of recognising and reading of the road signs and of the road lights through sound (voice or signal) or optical indications which inform the driver and come from a receiver-computer positioned into the vehicle which receives codified signals emanating from transmitters positioned by the road signs and transmit only towards the direction the above signs face.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for providing x, y and Z values so as to construct figures from unit vectors rotated in three space wherein the x, y and z values result from processing construction and rotation parameters according to the following relationships: 
ΔX′ = ΔX COS(G z ) +ΔY SIN(G z ) 
ΔY′ = -ΔX SIN(G z ) + ΔY COS (G z ) 
ΔZ′ = ΔZ 
where, 
ΔX = COS(R z ) COS(R y  + G y ) 
ΔY = COS(R z ) SIN(R y  + G y ) - SIN(G x ) - SIN(R z ) COS(G x ) 
ΔZ = COS(R z ) SIN(R y  + G y ) + COS(G x ) + SIN(R z ) SIN(G x ) 
X = X + ΔX′, Y = Y + ΔY′, Z = Z + ΔZ′ 
and, 
R z , and R y , are construction rotation parameters for the Z and Y axes, respectively, and G y , G x  and G z  are global rotation parameters for the Y, X and Z axes, respectively. As used in a graphics display system, the invention provides offset values to an apparatus for summing offset values from a specified point. An apparatus for providing depth cuing related to the offset values may be advantageously included in an alternative embodiment for apparatus employing the principles of the invention. Processed x, y and z values, together with color cuing information may then be stored in a memory prior to displaying the figure.

Abstract: A method of italicizing a font includes the steps of slanting a symbol stored in a generic font format as an arrangement of pixel locations by offsetting the arrangement of pixel locations at a predetermined slope to create a staircase edge; and inserting additional pixels at predetermined locations by a predetermined transformation of the generic font format to conceal the staircase. The method does not require the storage of additional pixel information relating to the symbol. In addition, the predetermined transformation eliminates complex pixel positioning programming requiring an analysis of the symbol pattern and recognition of the location in the pattern where a staircase concealing pixel should be located.

IPC: G01R31/305

Abstract: An E-beam testing system uses the E-beam to test a sample with conductive elements thereon. The system charges conductive elements on the sample. Above the sample and parallel to its upper surface is a stacked pair of paral­lel extraction grids. One grid is biased positively to accelerate secondary electrons emitted from the sample. The other grid is biased at a voltage to control the angular distribution of secondary electrons passing through the grid. Rectangular double gridsets, tilted with respect to the beam and the sample, are located above and laterally of the sample and the E-beam. Those grids are charged to attract secondary electrons from the sample. Triangular grids between the rectangular grids and a top grid above and parallel to the sample with an aperture therethrough for the E-beam are biased negatively to repel secondary electrons. Below the rectangular and triangular grids is located a cylindrical attraction grid biased positively, coaxial with the E-beam. A method of testing electrical connections and short circuits of conductors on a body of insulating material without physical contact includes the steps of :
     a) applying an unfocused flood electron beam with a low current to a broad surface of the body, simultaneously applying a different focused probe electron beam having an energy predetermined to provide a charge of opposite polarity from the flood beam to other areas of the body to be probed,     b) generating an electron beam to cause secondary electron emission from the conductors; and   c) detecting the presence of connections not at a given potential.
