Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed which provide a means for both spatially and temporally resolving the on/off states of a two-state display device such as a liquid crystal display to provide apparent shades of gray. A particular feature of this method is that the cycling between on and off states is not performed in a discernible pattern. Rather, a pseudo-random pattern is utilized which repeats only after many cycles. Additionally, when the method disclosed herein is utilized, adjacent pixels, when selected to display the same shade of gray, do not cycle on and off in synchronization, but rather utilize out-of-phase cycling patterns. This spatial resolution reduces perceived flicker in the display and provides a more stable image. In one embodiment, eight shades of gray are provided. The shades are generated by cycling individual pixels such that when averaged over time, they are: always off; on 20% of the time; 33% of the time; 40% of the time; 60% of the time; 67% of the time; 80% of the time; or, on at all times.

Abstract: The present valve, employable by persons affected by hydro­cephalus, permits discharge into suitable offtake branches of the excess cephalorhachidian fluid existing in the ventricles of the brain. The valve basically consists of a hollow cylindrical body (1) having inside a seat (5) with an enlarging triangular shape designed to interact with an aptly-shaped capsule or small piston (6) and placed against an antagonist spring (7). This pattern permits to offset the varying amounts of ventricular fluid pressures, discharging outside any fluid, whether large or small, through suitable offtake branches and at the same time it accomplishes a self-cleaning function which ensures a constant flow efficiency.

Abstract: A dual shuttle air gun (10) for generating maximum acoustic output for seismic testing, has a housing (12) with an air chamber (14) formed therein and a chamber port (27) that opens 360° around the periphery of the housing. Two shuttles (18,24) are positioned around the housing axially displaced from each other, but close enough to allow the end faces (22,28) of each shuttle to come into close proximity with each other. When the air gun is fired by the activation of a solenoid (52), compressed air flows into a firing chamber (30) formed between the first shuttle (18) and the housing (12) causing the first shuttle to begin opening. When the first shuttle moves, the end faces (22,28) of the two shuttles are exposed to the compressed air from the primary chamber (14). This causes the two shuttles to rapidly move away from each other providing for very quick release of the stored compressed air. When the solenoid is deactivated, the two shuttles are forced back into a prefire condition over the 360° opening.

Abstract: A "lookaside" cache architecture whereby the cache system is situated on the processor bus in parallel with the memory controller. This design enables the cache system and the memory controller to begin servicing a processor memory read request simultaneously, thereby removing any delay penalty for cache misses that would otherwise occur in a traditional look-through design. The cache and the memory controller both begin a processor memory read cycle simultaneously. If a cache miss occurs, the memory controller completes the cycle. If a cache hit occurs, the cache system aborts the memory controller and completes the memory read cycles in zero wait states. The lookaside cache design allows the cache system to be easily removable from the computer system to provide an optional capability.

Abstract: A method for processing bill of material data in which low-level codes are updated in a bottom-to-top direction, from component items to subassemblies to assemblies. Updating the low-level code on a bottom to top traversal of a hierarchical path eliminates the need to maintain copies of the original low-level codes for recovery purposes. Continuity checking is performed before the low-level codes are updated. Low-level coding is extended for use in project network processing by substituting for the low-level code, the activity early start time in the forward pass and late finish time in the backward pass, and substituting for the increment value used in low-level coding, the activity duration time.

Abstract: A material layer such as a metal layer, a dielectric layer, a semiconductor layer or a superconducting layer is deposited by the liquid-phase thermal decomposition of a metal-organic precursor dissolved in an anhydrous organic solvent. The organic solvent solvent has a chemical polarity corresponding to the selected metal-organic precursor and has a normal boiling point above the decomposition temperature of the selected precursor. The present invention enables the use of a wide variety of molecular compositions which can be used for the formation of an equally wide variety of material layers. In one embodiment of the invention, a semiconductor substrate (12) is subjected to a liquid mixture comprising a metal-substituted heterocyclic acetylacetonate precursor dissolved in tetradecane (b.p. 254°C). Depending upon the structure of the acetylacetonate, either a metal or a metal oxide film is deposited in the liquid phase on a semiconductor substrate (12) immersed in a solution which is maintained at the decomposition temperature of the acetylacetonate precursor.
