Abstract: A computer aided design method and system for displaying and manipulating an image of all or part of a human body is disclosed. To display an image in accordance with the invention an electronic memory stores data representing in an anthropometrically accurate manner each of a plurality of segments of a human body as a polyhedron having vertices whose coordinates are measured with respect to a joint center point. This data is then used by a graphical display device to display an anthropometrically correct image of one or more segments of a body, each displayed segment being displayed as a polyhedron. By applying rotational, translational or scaling transformations to the coordinates describing the vertices of the polyhedrons, it is possible to manipulate the corresponding graphical image of particular body segments.

Abstract: A switch is provided for selectively routing digital information packets received from at least first end second external sources to at least first and second external destinations. At least one of the first sources generates an information packet including a datum (or a request therefor) and a corresponding descriptor. First and second routing interconnects have inputs for receiving packets from respective sources and outputs for transmitting packets to respective destinations. The interconnects are also coupled for transferring packets between one another. Directories within the interconnects store descriptors corresponding to data associated with the first destination, as well as requests routed from the other interconnect. A controller routes packets based on the correspondence, or lack thereof, between the descriptor in that packet and an entry signal allocated to corresponding directory.

Abstract: A densitometer for an electrographic apparatus achieves improved measuring of marking particle density on a photoreceptor (10) or the like. Use of a charge-coupled device (CCD) (99) allows for a pixel-by-pixel recordation of the photo intensity (97, 98) reflected off the photoreceptor and toner test patch (95). As a result of the increased sensitivity of the toner measuring, it is possible to measure denser patches of toner, both black as well as color, thus allowing for accurate monitoring of the amount of toner placed onto a photoreceptor.

Abstract: An apparatus for conditioning signals output from a computer system expansion card to a computer system board to test system board bus specifications and timing limits. The apparatus comprises two signal conditioning extension cards which are used to condition signals from a slave card and a bus master card. The signal conditioning extension cards according to the present invention are interposed between the bus master or slave expansion card and the system board and selectively advance or delay the signals output from the expansion card to the system board. The slave signal conditioning card also selectively delays the read data valid window of the slave card to test the limits of the system board. The bus master signal conditioning card selectively delays the write data valid window of the bus master card to test the limits of the system board.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for scanning a receiving medium. The present invention can be used in scanner apparatus in which a diode laser is modulated by a drive current which is controlled in accordance with a digital information signal. Radiation from the diode laser is imaged onto a receiving medium such as a thermal print medium. The digital information signal is passed to a look-up table, and the look-up table is used to convert the image data to the proper output value so that the diode laser will mark the receiving medium with the density that corresponds to the information signal. Random noise is used in the scanner apparatus to mask artifacts produced by the scanner apparatus, and in order to generate magnitude-limited noise in the diode laser, the output from a random noise generator is provided to the look-up table.

Abstract: A display structure which is readable even in direct sunlight includes a layered structure formed of a reflective element (42), an LED light source (18), a coloured filter (16), a legend plate (14), and a liquid crystal shutter (12). The reflective element (42) is positioned behind the LED light source (18). The light source is formed of an LED array (26) having a diffusion medium (28) disposed in front of the LED array (26) for scattering light when energized. The liquid crystal shutter (12) permits displayable information on the legend plate (14) to be viewed only when the LED array (26) and the liquid crystal shutter (12) are energized. The reflective element (42) and the diffusion medium (28) reflect and scatter incident sunlight which has passed through the liquid crystal shutter (12), legend plate (14) and coloured filter (16). This light is then reflected back through the coloured filter (16) and legend plate (14) and out the liquid crystal shutter (12). The coloured filter (16) is preferably selected to have certain spectral transmission characteristics. As a result, the contrast of the displayable information on the legend plate is enhanced and is unaffected by washout when viewed in an area of incident sunlight.

Abstract: 5 n7 A current sense/limit circuit utilizable in power processing circuits, such as switching voltage regulators, containing controlled power switches, diodes, inductors and/or transformers and capacitors. The current sense/limit circuit senses the power switch's current and turns off the switch when its peak current surpasses a preprogrammed value. In order to prevent the circuit from reacting to the leading edge switch current spike, which is the result of the reverse recovery of the clamp or free-wheeling diode that is part of most power processing circuits, the current sense/limit circuit monitors the voltage on the power switch and disables the current sense circuitry as long as this voltage does not drop below a predetermined threshold value. This threshold is higher than the worst case voltage on the switch during its on-time under normal operating conditions, and much lower than the switch voltage during off-time. Because the voltage on the switch is lower than its off-time value during most of the diode's recovery time, this method adaptively blocks the current sense mechanism during most of the reverse recovery current spike period. The circuit also includes a timer that turns the switch off if the current sense circuit remains disabled longer than a predetermined time after turn-on. This prevents switch damage in case of a short circuit of a switch's drain- collector to the supply voltage.

Abstract: In an array of solid-state memory cells organized into rows and segmented columns and addressable by wordlines and bit lines, a memory cell within a segmented column is addressable by segment-select transistors which selectively connect the memory cell's pair of bit lines via conductive lines running parallel to the columns to a column decode circuit. The disposition of the segment-select transistors and the conductive lines relative to the segmented columns enables one segment-select transistor to fit in every two or more columns. In one embodiment, the segment-select transistors have double the pitch of the columns while the conductive lines have the same pitch of the columns. In another embodiment, the segment-select transistor have four times the pitch of the columns while the conductive lines have double the pitch of the columns. This enables the use of larger size segment-select transistors which are necessary for passing higher currents in devices such as EPROM or flash EEPROM. Column segmentation effectively isolates defects to individual segments and reduces the capacitance in the source and drain of an address memory cell.
