Inventor: YANG HENRY SHO-CHE
IPC: H04L12/433
Filed: 1991-06-12
Abstract: Frame processing apparatus, and a related method for its operation, for use in a station connected to a token ring network, to ensure rapid stripping of frames from the network without reference to source addresses in the frames, and in spite of the possible presence of extraneous no-owner frames on the network. The adverse effects of extraneous no-owner frames are avoided by any of three techniques. First, transmitted information frames are preceded by a start strip delimiter frame and followed by an end strip delimiter frame. The process strips all incoming frames (except tokens and ring initialization frames, which are specially handled), but does not count the stripped frames until the start strip delimiter frame is detected. Therefore, extraneous frames preceding the transmitted information frames will be stripped but not counted, and all of the transmitted frames will be stripped. In another approach, an estimated stripping time is used to terminate stripping. Frame counters are not then needed and extraneous frames will be stripped prior to the desired information frames. A third approach is to preset the transmitted frame count to some selected value, so that more frames will be stripped than were transmitted. Thus, preceding extraneous frames will be stripped, but the end strip delimiter will still terminate stripping and preclude overstripping.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un générateur de synchronisation (10) comportant un oscillateur à cristal (12) raccordé de manière à émettre une impulsion de référence. Une combinaison RC est raccordée de manière à fournir une impulsion de sortie (18) à retard variable à partir d'un signal d'entrée provenant de l'oscillateur à cristal (12). Un détecteur de phase est raccordé de manière à fournir des représentations du facteur de forme de la phase des impulsions de sortie de référence et de celles à retard variable. Un amplificateur opérationnel dirige une tension de commande sur la combinaison RC en fonction des courants intégrés à partir du détecteur de phase et injectés dans les jonctions de sommation. Un convertisseur N/A (34) injecte un courant de commande dans les jonctions de sommation en fonction d'un code de commande numérique d'entrée. Il en résulte un servo-équilibre fournissant un retard de phase des impulsions de sortie à retard variable aux impulsions de référence de sortie, qui dépend linéairement du code de commande numérique d'entrée.

Abstract: A speed error detecting portion (M1; 44, 50) detects a speed error which is a frequency difference between a reproduced clock signal which is reproduced from a recording medium and a reference clock signal. A first phase error detecting portion (M2; 74, 86, 88, 94) detects a phase error which is a phase difference between the reproduced clock signal and the reference clock signal. A servo signal generating portion (M3; 50, 54, 58, 60, 96, 98, 100, 64) generates a servo signal which is used for eliminating the speed error and phase error. A second phase error detecting portion (M4; 114, 120) detects a phase error which is a phase difference between a reproduced synchronization signal reproduced from the recording medium separately from the reproduced clock signal and a reference synchronization signal. A reference phase changing portion (M5; 72, 70) changes the phase of the reference clock signal based on the phase error detected by the second phase error detecting portion. A reference frequency changing portion (M6; 130, 46) changes the frequency of the reference clock signal based on the phase error detected by the second phase error detecting portion.

Abstract: Thin thickness parts linearly elongating in the
longitudinal direction of a diaper are arranged at a part
including the absorption core of the diaper. Over the front
waist region and the crotch region of the diaper, then, elastic
members are arranged in the direction vertical to the thin
thickness parts to form front gathering. The front gathering
is positioned in the crotch of a wearer, readily deforms along
the outline of a protector against incontinence or the shape
of the crotch, to press the protector against incontinence and
also fit the crotch elastically. Thus, the diaper can prevent
the positional shift of the protector against incontinence and
the side oozing of urine and feces. Furthermore, one retaining
members and the other retaining members are arranged to be
fastened together at a state when these members are overlaid
together on the front waist region and the back waist region
of the diaper, wherein the aligning pitch of the one retaining
members in the longitudinal direction is larger than the
aligning pitch of the other retaining members in the
longitudinal direction and wherein the width dimension of the
one retaining members in the longitudinal direction is larger
than the width dimension of the other retaining members in the
longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A parallax barrier comprises a polarisation modifying layer 20 and a
polariser 21. The layer 20 has aperture regions 22 for forming the parallax
barrier slits and barrier regions 24 for forming the opaque regions between
the slits. The regions 22 and 24 are such that polarised light incident on
the layer 20 is transmitted with orthogonal polarisations through the
regions 22 and 24. For instance, the regions 24 may not affect
polarisation whereas the regions 22 may rotate the polarisation by 90
degrees. The polarising sheet 24 when present has a polarisation direction
26 orthogonal to the plane of polarisation 23 of the incoming light. Light
from the barrier regions 24 is thus extinguished whereas light from the slit
regions 22 is transmitted so that the device operates as a parallax barrier.
By removing the polarising sheet 21 or otherwise disabling it, the
differences in polarisation of light from the regions 22 and 24 is not
perceptible to the unaided eye. The parallax barrier may therefore be
used with a spatial light modulator to form a display which is switchable
between a 3D autostereoscopic mode and a 2D full resolution high
brightness mode. 
     A passive polarisation modulating optical element comprises a layer 11 of
birefringent material. The layer 11 has substantially fixed birefringence
and comprises retarder regions 12 and 13 forming a regular pattern, for
instance to act as a parallax barrier for a 3D display. The retarders 12 and
13 have optic axes aligned in different directions from each other. The 
element may be associated with a polariser 14, for instance an output
polariser of a liquid crystal device, with the polarising direction of the
polariser 14 being parallel to the optic axis of the retarders 12. Thus, the
retarders have no effect on light passing through the element 11 whereas
the retarders 13 act as half waveplates and rotate the polarisation vector of
light passing there through, for instance by 90°.

Abstract: A method for image processing combining a device-specific
image processing kernel operation with a general image
processing kernel operation. Device specific parameters are sent
from a host computer (202) to an imaging device (200). The
imaging device selects appropriate device-specific convolution
coefficients. The host computer selects additional kernel
operations. In a first example embodiment, the device-specific
coefficients are then uploaded (306) to the host computer and
the host computer convolves (310) the host-specified operations
with the device-specific operations. The combined kernel is then
downloaded (312) to the imaging device. In an alternative
embodiment, the host-specified operations are downloaded to the
imaging device for combining. The combined kernels are then used
by the imaging device for convolution operations (314) on an
image. As a result, host computer software can modify a kernel
operation within an imaging device with minimal knowledge of
device-specific parameters such as native resolution.
