Abstract: A needle thread guide device for double ring stitch sewing machine is used for
the case that a double ring stitch is formed by forming a plurality of needle thread loops
below a fabric and allowing a looper to successively enter these needle thread loops.
The needle thread guide device has a cam (8c) which is formed at a location near a thread
receiving surface (8a) of a needle thread guide (8), so as to be integral with the needle
thread guide (8). The cam applies a tensile force, immediately before a looper enters, to
a needle thread loop (6Lr) of a left needle thread (6L) which the looper enters finally in
plural needle threads (6R, 6L) being received and supported on the thread receiving
surface (8a) of the needle thread guide (8), as a movable needle thread take-up (3) rocks
upward relative to rising movement of right and left needles (1R, 1L) from a bottom dead
point. With this construction, it is avoided that the looper erroneously enters the plural
needle thread loops, and a predetermined stitch is therefore formed reliably without
causing skip-stitch.

member (33) has first and second portions, with a density
of the second portion being greater than a density of the
first portion. The density of the second portion is
sufficient to close against the valve seat, yet is still

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing compressed Z information in a video
graphics system is described. Pixels in a display frame are grouped into a plurality of
pixel blocks (22-26), where each pixel block (22-26) includes a plurality of pixels. When
possible, the Z information corresponding to the plurality of pixels in a pixel block
(22-26) is compressed and stored in a Z buffer (40) in a compressed format. A Z mask
value for each pixel block (22-26) in the frame is stored in a Z mask memory (90), where
the Z mask for each pixel block (22-26) indicates a level of compression of the Z
information for each of the pixel blocks (22-26). When Z information for a pixel block
(22-26) is required for processing operations, a cache (70) is first examined to determine
if the Z information for the pixel block (22-26) is included in the cache (70). If the Z
information is not included in the cache (70), the Z mask memory (90) is consulted to
determine the level of compression of the Z information for the particular pixel block
(22-26). Based on the indication provided by the Z mask memory (90) as to the level of
compression, a predetermined amount of data is retrieved from the Z buffer (40), and
when the Z information is in compressed format, it is decompressed. The fetched Z
information is then stored in the cache (70) for use in video graphics processing.

Abstract: A received data stream is formed into a stream of packets, each packet comprising a payload section of data and an overhead section. In forming the packets, a template overhead section is created for use by the stream of packets and this template is applied to the data to form the packets. This avoids the need to individually pass packets through a routing stack, thus reducing the processing demands on the processor which constructs the data packets and reducing the transmission delay experienced by data. The template overhead section can be formed by sending a packet through a routing stack. Another aspect describes apparatus for processing packets where a first processor processes signalling packets and a second processor processes real-time data packets. The first processor can be, used to create the template overhead section before passing the template information to the second processor where it can be used in forming the real-time data packets.
