Abstract: An image forming method includes a first step of irradiating a beam onto an object, and using an intensity corresponding to an image area onto which the beam was irradiated as an intensity of a pixel at the center of the image area, and scanning a beam throughout the inspection area of the object to obtain an image within the inspection area as a collection of pixels arranged at intervals smaller than a beam diameter; and a second step of assigning a pixel to be processed and neighbouring pixels with coefficients in accordance with a beam intensity distribution, multiplying the intensity of each pixel by each assigned coefficient, determining a new intensity of the pixel to be processed in accordance with the sum of respective products, and repeating the new intensity determining process for all pixels necessary to be processed. In the second step, the value of the coefficients for those pixels except on the scanning direction may be reduced. Further, a third step may be provided for linearly-transforming the intensities so as to make the intensities of respective pixels to be distributed within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A data processing system including a host computer linked by a gateway to a parallel, general purpose computing system comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes. Each node includes a data processor and a communication processor. An information packet originated by one of the nodes is routed by one or more hardware linked communication processors in the other nodes until it reaches its destination node whereat it is transferred by the communication processor to its associated data processor thereby removing it from the communications network of the data procesing system. Deadlock and starvation are avoided by a technique termed class climbing. In class climbing an acyclic directed graph is superimposed on the physical communications network by assigning a direction to each of the physical links. The class of an information packet remains unchanged whilst it is travelling according to the direction of the acyclic directed graph associated with its class. However the class of a packet is incremented by one each time it has to change its travel from according to, or against, the direction of the acyclic directed graph associated with its class. 
     Another feature of the switching of information packets between the communication processors is that a communication processor receiving an information packet initiates a request for the delivery of the information packet from its neighbour rather than vice versa.

Abstract: An inlet gas manifold (11) for a vacuum deposition chamber (10) incorporates inlet apertures (31) which increase in diameter or cross-section transverse to the direction of gas flow (22). The aperture configuration increases the dissociation gases such as nitrogen and, thus increases the rate of silicon nitride deposition provided by nitrogen gas chemistry, without requiring the use of reactants such as ammonia. While one could use ammonia in the deposition gas chemistry if desired, the process provides the option of completely eliminating ammonia The inlet manifold (11) containing the increasing-diameter gas inlet holes (31) provides enhanced control of the process and the deposited film, and is also useful for forming other dielectrics such as silicon oxide and silicon oxynitride. In particular, silicon oxynitride films are characterized by low hydrogen content and by compositional uniformity.

Abstract: A method for the automatic interfacing of a conceptual design tool with a project management tool is disclosed. The conceptual design tool provides for the early manufacturing involvement information needed to aid and improve the total design and manufacturing effort to produce a final product. The conceptual design tool is used to build and modify a product structure. Using the conceptual design tool, a user inputs manufacturing details by item in the product structure. When the user invokes the project management tool interface, the system prompts the user to select items of the product structure which are critical. The system then orders the selected items according to lead times from manufacturing detail data gathered by the conceptual design tool. The ordered data is then formatted in a file of the project management tool. The formatted file is then imported into the project management tool. In addition, data modified by the project management tool can later be reformatted for export to the conceptual design tool to allow the design process to continue with updated project data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switch, which has a compression device for blowing the arc, which is equipped with non-return valves in the direction of the arc gap, so that low-current arcs are blown by means of this compression device, but in the case of high-current arcs the non-return valves close and the arc is blown by the expanding gas itself. In this switch, the self-blowing is insufficient and after the interruption of a high-current arc, hot gas of low density is present in front of the arc gap. This is disadvantageous for renewed arc blowing. Sufficient self-blowing and the provision of cold arc-extinguishing gas are effected for renewed arc blowing when a gas storage compartment 6 is arranged between the compression device and the arc gap, there being provided between the gas storage compartment 6 and the compression compartment 8 a valve 15 to 19, which is opened when the switch is connected and closed when it is disconnected. In this way, in the case of the connection immediately following interruption of a high-current arc the compression device sucks the hot gas of low density out of the gas storage compartment 6, and cold gas of high density is available for renewed arc blowing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Microcapsules containing oil-based biologically active compounds which are stable over extended time periods for release of the encapsulated compound in the intestine. There are a number of biologically active compounds having an oil base which must be orally ingested in order to have a beneficial effect. An example of one such biologically active oil-based compound is a fish oil having a high content of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids which has been demonstrated to reduce plasma levels of triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoproteins and cholesterol in normal and hyperlipidemic subjects. The disclosed microcapsules eliminate the unfortunate problems of the unpleasant taste and smell of the fish oil, as well as the aftertaste, particularly when ingested in large quantities, and provide a palatable and practical means of ingesting efficacious quantities of fish oil. In addition, the normal oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids is inhibited.

Abstract: A curling iron (10) has an elongated heating tube (22) and a clamp (64) secured to an end of the tube which is attached to a handle (12). The heating tube has at least one generally flat surface (26) having a longitudinal depression (33) generally in the center of the surface. In one embodiment, the tube has relatively wide top and bottom surfaces (26, 28) which each have such a depression (33), and relatively narrow, sharply rounded side surfaces (30, 32). The clamp has a relatively short clamping surface which extends over a portion of the length of the heating tube. Hair strands which are wrapped around the tube are not curled over the flat surface or surfaces of the tube. The depressed portions of the heating tube do not contact the straight lengths of the hair directly, so that the straight lengths absorb less heat from the tube, and normal operating temperatures are more easily preserved in the heating tube.
