Patent EP-1485779-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ELBE ASTRID
IPC: G06F7/50
Filed: 2003-04-01
Abstract: An arithmetic unit comprising several adder blocks (10, 12, 14) with individual adders, a clock generator (52) and a control device (50). A carry-look-ahead element run-through device (26,28,30) is associated with each adder block, determining whether a carry-look-ahead element runs through a corresponding adder block. If it is determined that a carry-look-ahead element does not run through an adder block, the arithmetic unit is clocked with a clock period which is sufficient for a carry-look-ahead element to run almost completely through an adder block and to run through at least one part of a previous adder block. If it is determined that a carry-look-ahead element fully runs through an adder block, a panic signal (260, 280, 300) is produced. The clock pulse of the adder is slowed so that the elementary period is sufficiently large to ensure that the carry-look-ahead element can fully run through another adder block. The arithmetic unit is only slowed to such an extent that a carry-look-ahead element can run from the lowest value point of the arithmetic unit to the highest value point of the arithmetic unit in the case of panic signals of two adjacent adder blocks, whereupon the length of the block is shortened, resulting in only a slightly reduced adder clock pulse in the case of a normal clock pulse and panic. .

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing cable including a cage strander for rotation about a line axis. Bobbins are supported by the cage strander and arranged for dispensing round conductors downstream thereof for receiving the conductors and forming them into a plurality of complementary segmented pre-shaped wires each having a desired cross-sectional profile in a final compact conductor and each defining at least lateral surfaces. The formed conductors are positioned and oriented to substantially correspond to the positions and orientations between such wires in the final twisted compact conductor. A first drive means rotates the forming apparatus and a second drive drives the forming apparatus. These driving means are synchronized to allow the formed conductors to be closed about the core causing the lateral surfaces of adjacent pre-shaped wires to substantially abut each other and produce a cable wherein the interstices between the wires forming the twisted conductor are substantially eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a radiation curable composition for in-line printing containing magnetic pigments capable of being magnetized to possess permanent magnetic properties after the composition is cured. The composition is cured by an ionizing radiation source, preferably by UV light or electron beam radiation (UV/EB). The present invention is also directed to an in-line process for printing magnetic images on non-magnetic substrate, comprising: pattern applying the above mentioned radiation curable composition on the substrate opposite to a print side, pre-aligning the magnetic pigment particles (if necessary) of the applied composition, curing the composition by ionizing radiation source (UV/EB), magnetizing the cured composition, then finishing the final piece. The finishing step could involve delivering the final piece in a simple sheet with die cut magnets or creating an 'integrated magnet' format involving plow folding over the magnet panel, pattern coating or flood coating an adhesive that will only adhere the non-magnet matrix areas between die cut magnets, thus, allowing for the individual magnets to be 'popped' out of the carrier by the final end user. The resulting magnetized pieces will possess holding power like magnets (refrigerator and office magnets) and are capable of carrying personalized, Scitex imaged and direct marketing information (including redemption value for coupons, local public service access numbers, etc.).

Abstract: A server (1) analyses the request information transmitted
from a client (11) by means of a request analyzer 4 and selects
the necessary image data from multiple viewpoint image data
(2) to output it to an image generator (3), where image data
for the requested viewpoint is generated by interpolation
to be output to an image synthesizer (5). In the image
synthesizer (5), a plurality of images data are synthesized
in a form suitable for encoding. An encoder (6) encodes the
image data at a suitable bit rate and transfers it to a network
(7). The client (11) receives the encoded image data, decodes
the data through a decoder (12) and outputs the decoded image
data to an image processor (13), where the image data is
converted into an appropriate form in conformity with a
stereoscopic display format and is displayed on a display
unit (14). The client (11) also includes an input unit (16)
for change of the viewpoint, and transmits the request
information of viewpoint alternation to the network (7) by
means of a request output unit (15). Thus this system enables
observation of a stereoscopic image viewed from an arbitrary
viewpoint even with a mobile terminal or the like.

Abstract: When aluminium products are preheated in a preheating furnace up to about
500°C before they are brazed with a flux in a heating furnace, an inert atmosphere in the
preheating furnace is made convectional by fans for improving heating efficiencies and
also for having the oxygen which is brought into the preheating furnace as a pollutant
thereof and scattered about in the inert atmosphere, contacted with furnace inner walls
of the preheating furnace which are made from carbonaceous materials, and reacted
therewith so as to form CO, resulting in keeping the oxygen concentration of nitrogen
atmosphere low, whereby when the aluminium products are brazed by heating them in a
continuous atmosphere furnace, including said preheating furnace and said heating
furnace, heating time thereof is shortened and the brazing is made more economical

in a process liquid (12) at 40 to 60°C and of pH 9 to 12, a
passive film (26) is formed at the surface of the press-formed
starting member. There is no solving out of metal ions from

so that costs including waste processing can be reduced. In
another aspect, degreasing, cleaning and passivation treatment
are carried out by spraying the press- formed starting
member. By the use of spraying, the degreasing, cleaning and
passivation treatment can be made rapid, and the amounts of

Abstract: A video storage system (10) includes a storage area network (12) and at least one local cache storage unit (14). Both the storage mechanism and the local cache storage unit store at least some content in common. In response to a read request, a read director (20) determine which of the storage mechanism and local cache storage unit contains the requested content. Upon determining that the requested content resides on the local cache storage unit, the read director directs the content request to the local cache storage unit, thereby reducing the demand on the storage mechanism. If the content does not reside on the local cache storage unit, read director directs the request to the storage mechanism, but if the content is unavailable, the content request will be filled with filler data from a filler data source (24).

Abstract: A television receiver, or some other display device, includes a display, a video signal processing circuit, a display driving circuit, and a control unit for controlling the video signal processing circuit and the display driving circuit. In order to reduce power consumption by the television receiver when the television receiver is not being viewed, the television receiver includes a presence detector for detecting the presence of a person in a room containing the television receiver. When the presence detector does not detect the presence of a person, the control unit disables the display by turning off either the video signal processing circuit or the display driving circuit, or both. When the person re-enters the room, the presence detector indicate this to the controller which then re-enables the display by turning on the video signal processing circuit and/or the display driving circuit. In order to prevent inadvertently disabling the display, the control unit waits until the presence detector does not detect the presence of a person in the room for a predetermined period of time.

recording information. This optical recording medium master disc
apparatus includes an external synchronizing mechanism to vary the

the repetitive frequency of the ultrashort wave pulse laser in
synchronism with the clock frequency to cause the ultrashort wave
pulse laser to emit pulses, and hence miniscule pits can be formed
with high accuracy.
