Abstract: An imager array (10) includes a substrate (a) with a plurality of
superimposed layers of electrically conductive and active components. Sets
of scan and data lines (16,22) are electrically insulated from one another
and also from a common electrode (34) and active array components (38)
by dielectric material. Protection of the active components (38) against
static charge potential includes resistive means between the common
electrode and a ground ring conductor (14) around the array elements and in
particular a thin film transistor circuit with a parallel pair of opposite
polarity diode connected field effect transistors (248,250) to safely drain the
static charge during subsequent fabrication, test and standby period of the
imager (8), while remaining in circuit during imager operation. 
     Further electrostatic charge protection is provided to the array (10)
by a protective apparatus adapted to support the radiation imager (8) while
electrically contacting its ground ring (14) to facilitate handling and
processing while protecting against electrostatic charge damage during
fabrication and testing, and enabling the positioning and bonding of the
flexible external connections to the contact pads of the imager. Provision is
made to enable heat and pressure for thermode bonding through the fixture
to the contact pads while the imager is secured within the fixture.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which can shorten a first
printing time in accordance with a recording mode without
increasing electric power consumption is provided. When a
reception signal is absent, if a copy key has been
depressed, the image forming apparatus is switched to a copy
mode, and temperature control is started by supplying a
heater of a thermal fixing device with electric power. When
the user operates a start key to start copying after setting
an original and copying conditions, it is determined if the
heater has reached a fixable temperature. If the result of
the determination is affirmative, a copying operation is
completed by performing image formation and fixing on a
recording sheet. When a reception signal is present, image
data is received, and after storing the image data in an
image memory, temperature rise control of the heater is
started.

IPC: H04N1/191
Filed: 1998-08-14
Abstract: A computerised methodology for reducing swath scanner swath boundary discontinuities is
provided by using a predetermined overlap of pixel row during each sequential scan. Pixel
data from a first scan (400-401) of the overlapped pixel rows is compared to the pixel data
from a second scan (405, 409, 411, 415, 417) of the overlapped pixel rows, identical pixels of
the overlapped pixel rows ideally having the same representative scan data. Errors are
compensated by weighting representative scan data for each pixel row, linearly decreasing the
weighting in proportion to the proximity to the swath boundary (413). Weighted data is
substituted for true data depending upon comparison factors (403, 407). In one embodiment,
the weighting factor is an increase or decrease in the first scan data relative to the percentage
change in white level intensity captured in the second scan of the overlapped pixel rows. In
another embodiment, the weighting factor is a linear shifting of the proportion of the pixel
data from the first scan and the pixel data from the second scan of the overlapped pixel rows
used as the scanned image data such that the proportion of the first scan decreases as the
proportion of the second scan increases, thereby smoothing differentials in data representative
of individual pixel rows at swath boundaries. In another embodiment, scanner signal-to-noise
ratio is improved by using a weighting factor in accordance with the Central Limit Theorem.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging method and
apparatus are presented which separates broadband
linear and nonlinear echo signal components while
simultaneously distinguishing the effects of motion.
The inventive method maps ultrasonic echo signals in
the r.f. (time) domain to Doppler shift frequencies
in the Doppler domain in a way that depends upon the
linearity of the echoes. The inventive method does
this by analyzing the phase shifts between successive
echoes. Apparatus is described in which a Doppler
echo ensemble is acquired by a transmit sequence of
cyclically phase-varying waveforms. When the echoes
of the ensemble are combined during Doppler
processing, the resulting Doppler spectrum is divided
into separate regions, with odd harmonics (e.g.,
linear signal components) residing in one region and
even harmonics (e.g., second harmonic signal
components) residing in another region. In a
preferred embodiment a Doppler wall filter is used to
delineate a particular type of signal information for
processing, such as tissue motion, harmonic contrast
agent, or tissue harmonic imaging information.

objects. The access control objects include group objects, each defining a group and
a set of users who are members of the group, and rule objects. A first subset of the
rule objects each specify a set of the group objects, a set of the management objects,
and access rights by the users who are members of the groups defined by the
specified set of the group objects to the specified set of management objects. The
access control server responds to the access requests from the users by granting,
denying and partially granting and denying the access requested in each access
request in accordance with the access rights specified in the access control database.
A second subset of the rule objects in the access control database each specify user
access rights to event notifications generated by the specified set of management
objects. An event registry is used for registering event notification requests by users,
each event notification request specifying event notifications from specified sets of the
management objects that are being requested. An event router receives event
notifications generated by the management objects. It responds to each event
notification by sending corresponding event notification messages to users who have
registered a corresponding event notification request with the event registry and also
have access rights to the received event notification in accordance with the access
rights specified in the access control database.

Abstract: An output buffer control circuit in which an amplitude of a gate
input of a MOS transistor for the output's sake is variable by virtue of a
program or a mask option, thus there is no electromagnetic interference
caused by excessive output current and unnecessary current
consumption, is suitable in use for universal integrated circuit. A gate
voltage selector circuit (2) selects one out of three voltages (V DD  + α), V DD ,
and (V DD  ― β) in accordance with the combination of selection signals
S 1 , S 2 , and S 3 . A level conversion circuit (3) performs ON-OFF of a voltage
V 1  selected by the gate voltage selector circuit in accordance with a
source output signal to be outputted to an outer section with the same
cycle as the source output signal, thus communicating it as a gate input
to an n-MOS transistor of an output buffer (4). It is equivalent to that it
causes amplitude V DD  of the source output signal to be performed level
conversion toward the voltage V 1  which the gate voltage selector circuit
selects. It is capable of being obtained the optimum output current
because the amplitude V 1  undergoing the level conversion is variable by
virtue of the selection signals S 1 , S 2 , and S 3 .
