Abstract: An improved object loader is provided that is designed to take advantage of the
caching architecture of many of today's processors to improve performance. Some of today's
most advanced processors, like the PENTIUM processor, have a two-level caching scheme
utilizing both a primary cache and a secondary cache, where data contained in the primary
cache is accessible 50 to 150 times faster than data in main memory. The improved object
loader uses a hash table and an object handle table to load objects, where each of these tables
is designed and utilized in such a manner so as to take full advantage of the processor's
caching architecture to increase system performance.

Abstract: A ground-penetrating sonar echo locating device uses acoustic energy to locate
underground structures, such as piping. A transducer, driven with two frequencies
whose amplitudes would be rapidly attenuated in surface or through-the-ground
transmission, is directed toward the ground through a silastic waveguide having a nonlinear
characteristic that produces a narrow beam of acoustic energy having negligible
side lobes at a third frequency that is relatively unattenuated in ground transmission to
produce reflections indicative of sub-soil conditions.

Abstract: A method for repairing the rim of a steam
turbine rotor, and a weld material for repairing such
rotors. The method generally includes the steps of
removing a damaged rim and its associated dovetail
region, so as to form a surface (16) at the perimeter
of the rim portion. A weld repair region (18) is then
formed on the surface, which is machined to reconstruct
the rim portion and the dovetail region (20) exclusively
with the weld repair region. Thereafter, an appropriately
configured blade (22) is secured to the rim portion with
the dovetail region. The method is particularly
intended for the repair of a steel alloy rotor, such
as a NiCrMoV, NiMoV and CrMoV alloy, while the weld
repair is formed with a nickel-base superalloy whose
mechanical and thermal properties are compatible with
the repair method and the steel alloy over a broad
temperature range.

IPC: H04N1/407
Filed: 1997-12-17
Abstract: Tone reproduction of an image is improved by the use of error diffusion or dithering in
the mapping of input pixel values on an input values scale to printer pixel values on a printer
values scale, where the input values scale and the printer values scale both have more than two
levels, to generate an image where a spatial average of printer values approximates a spatial
average of the corresponding input values, as measured on the printer values scale. To improve
the tone reproduction of reduced-resolution images, the printer pixel values are grouped into
multi-pixel cells, printer pixel values within each cell are mapped to a font index value, and a
font cell corresponding to the index level is printed at the location of the cell. The font set is
chosen such that differences in total deposited ink between consecutive font cells is minimized.
In the font cell having a font index value of zero all printer pixel values are zero, in the font cell
having a font index value of one all printer pixel values are zero except for a single pixel having
an isolated-single-pixel cutoff value, and as the font index value of subsequent font cells is
incremented a printer pixel value is incremented such that all printer pixel values are zero except
for pixels in a line along the scan direction. The final font cell consists of a line of pixels along
the scan direction having a full-cell-width printer pixel value, and pixels of zero value elsewhere.
The dynamic range of the font set is extended by a linear remapping of font index values.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des cintres en une seule pièce pour vêtements. Ces cintres comportent une extension, formant patte angulaire, tel qu'un crochet à partir d'un élément de support central du cintre. Cette extension coopère avec le raccordement, auquel il est relié, au niveau du sommet entre les extrémités supérieures des supports d'épaules du cintre. La distance du périmètre le long d'un support d'épaules à partir de l'extrémité extérieure de ce dernier jusqu'à l'extension formant patte angulaire est sensiblement supérieure à la distance correspondante pour l'autre support d'épaules. Ce différentiel de longueur d'épaules est obtenu par l'extension formant patte angulaire du support ou par une combinaison de cette extension avec une partie supérieure adjacente d'un support d'épaule. Un cintre de ce type permet d'insérer ou de retirer rapidement et aisément le cintre par une zone formant col du vêtement sans étirer ni déchirer celui-ci, et d'insérer ou de retirer le cintre par dessous le vêtement.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système de communication (10) utilisant  un protocole du type à réservation de paquets à accès multiple. Les canaux physiques requis pour le transfert des paquets sont spécialement attribués à une station mobile (16) (dite 'VIP MS'). La VIP MS (16) bénéficie d'une priorité exclusive d'utilisation de ces canaux physiques pour ses paquets de données, en fonction de ses besoins. En conséquence, la VIP MS (16) dispose en permanence de la largeur de bande négociée pour les transferts de paquets. De plus, comme la VIP MS (16) bénéficie toujours de la priorité exclusive la plus élevée pour l'accès à ces canaux physiques, (priorité VIP), en attribuant un canal réservé d'accès aléatoire à la VIP MS, (par exemple sur un canal ascendant attribué), on élimine les délais variables d'accès aléatoire inhérents aux systèmes antérieurs. Comme la VIP MS (16) est toujours prioritaire pour les liaisons descendantes et bénéficie d'un accès réservé sur les liaisons ascendantes, elle ne peut subir qu'un délai d'attente constant. En d'autres termes, la VIP MS (16) se voit garantir à la fois une largeur de bande pour le transfert des paquets, et un délai d'attente constant pour les liaisons ascendantes et descendantes.

Abstract: The specification describes methods for making T-shaped
metal gates for Schottky gate devices such as
MESFETs and HEMTs. The method uses a bi-level photoresist
technique to create a T-shaped feature for the gate
structure. The metal gate is evaporated into the
photoresist T-shaped feature and a lift-off preocess is
used to remove unwanted metal. The photoresist is the
dissolved away leaving the T-shaped gate. An important
aspect of the process is the use of a plasma treatment of
the first patterned resist level to harden it so that it
is unaffected by the subsequent deposition and patterning
of the second level resist.
