Abstract: A length of filament (32), wire or optical fiber, is wound into a pack (30) on a cylindrical drum (44) located within an open-ended housing (38). The housing is mounted within a missile (26) with the housing open end (38) facing aft. An undersized front wall (48) fits over the enclosure open end leaving a circular gap or space (50) through which the filament is dispensed. An outer end portion of the filament is reinforced (42) both mechanically and thermally to allow dispensing through outer regions of the missile rocket plume. The walls defining the circular gap (50) brake the filament dispensing to a predetermined maximum speed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing including the use of a pyroelectric material (12) in a novel fashion to directly mark an image on a print substrate (40). The image is produced by initially coating a poled pyroelectric material (12) with a uniform coating of charged marking particles and subsequently thermally exposing the pyroelectric material (12) in a localised fashion, thus reversing the polarity of the charge which repels the particles from the surface of the pyroelectric material (12), and in the direction of the surface of a print substrate (40) placed in close proximity thereto. Subsequently, the image formed by the transferred marking particles is fixed to the substrate (40) by a thermal or other well known fusing treatment.

Abstract: A multimedia document form system is disclosed which enables the definition, manipulation, storage and editing of a form which contains multimedia objects. Image objects and text objects can be displayed on the form in the conventional manner. Nonvisual presentation objects such as video objects and audio objects are represented by check boxes on the form. If a nonvisual object is to be associated with the form, then a mark is applied to the corresponding check box on the form. When the form is scanned-in in an optical scanner, presence of a mark in the check box prompts the operator to enter the nonvisual object. For example an audio object will be entered in digitized form and stored in association with the form. When the form is then displayed on a visual display device, the corresponding check box is highlighted to indicate to the operator the presence of a nonvisual presentation object which is stored in association with the form. The operator can then select the check box with a mouse, and the system will then access the stored nonvisual object and play it back for the operator.

Abstract: System and method for managing shared, distributed locks in a multiprocessing complex. The manager operates using a partitionable lock spare with logical processor connection. Logically connected processors are subject to validation and disconnection due to failure. The locks synchronize data access to identifiable subunits of DASD. Denied lock requests are queued for servicing when the lock becomes available. Lock partitions are used to speed DASD to DASD copying without halting processing on the first DASD. A special partition is assigned to the copy task and the processors writing to the DASD can determine copy status with a single read or test. Operations requiring multilateral agreement of processors, such as rebuilding locks or moving locks, are protected by fencing any nonresponsive processor. A special queue partition is designated for master/slave control point designation. All processors contend for the master lock and losing contenders are queued. Queuing provides automatic fallback in case of a failing processor.

Abstract: A first composite video signal is subject to having attendant ghosts and includes at least at times in a prescribed Lth line of each field during the vertical blanking interval one of a cycle of M ghost-cancelling reference (GCR) signals of prescribed magnitude and respective phasing, M being an integer larger than one. Filter (51-53) circuitry generates a second composite video signal in response to the first composite video output signal, which response is adjusted in response to filter programming signals generated by a computer (55) that stores in a computer memory associated therewith a ghost-free GCR signal. The computer (55) is connected for receiving a GCR signal with attendant ghosts, which the computer (55) compares with the ghost-free GCR signal stored in its associated memory, in carrying out correlation procedures that are the basis for calculating the filter programming signals. The filter programming signals are computed such that the second composite video signal is a response to the first composite video output signal in which the attendant ghosts are substantially reduced. Horizontal and vertical synchronizing pulses are separated from one of said first and second composite video signals. A scan line counter (56) counts the separated horizontal synchronizing pulses for generating a line count and is reset to an initial line count by each separated vertical synchronizing pulse. An Lth-line separator (58,59) responds to the line count for separating the scan lines of the second composite video signal that include GCR signals. A field counter (57) counts the separated vertical synchronizing pulses modulo M, generating a field count synchronized to the cycle of M GCR signals. A temporal filter (59-69) combines a number MN of successive scan lines as separated by the Lth-line separator (58,59) to generate a temporal filter response that is supplied to the computer (55) as a noise-reduced GCR signal with attendant ghosts, N being a positive integer.

Abstract: A radiation image storage panel, on which a radiation image has been stored, is exposed to stimulating rays, which cause it to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during its exposure to the radiation. The emitted light is photoelectrically detected on the front surface side of the radiation image storage panel, which is the stimulating ray incidence side, and on the back surface side, two image signals being thereby obtained. The image signal components of the two image signals are added to each other, which represent corresponding picture elements on the front and back surfaces of the radiation image storage panel, an addition signal being thereby obtained. The addition ratio for the two image signals is changed in accordance with at least a single factor selected from the group consisting of the dose of the radiation irradiated to the radiation image storage panel, the kind of the radiation image storage panel, the spatial frequency of interest in the radiation image, and the conditions under which the radiation was irradiated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for driving a semiconductor laser device (SLD1) in a laser recorder to produce a substantially constant optical power output over a range of temperatures while preserving a high optical switching frequency. A semiconductor laser device (SLD1) and a current sink (SLD2) are used in combination in driver circuit. A bias current (Ib1) maintains the semiconductor laser device (SLD1) at a first operating state, below a selected optical power threshold, and another bias current (Ib2) maintains the current sink (SLD2) at a first state also below a selected threshold. An information current (Im) is added to the bias current (Ib1) to drive the semiconductor laser device (SLD1) at a second state having a higher optical power. The information current (Im) is then steered to the current sink (SLD2), adding to the other bias current (Ib2), to drive the current sink (SLD2) at a second state such that the semiconductor laser device (SLD2) returns to the first state. A feedback signal (E1) adjusts the information current (Im) according to the output power of the semiconductor laser device (SLD1) when operating at the second state and according to the conditions of the current sink (SLD2).

Abstract: An electronic ballast having a boot strap capacitor (22) that becomes initially charged at a first rate and a high voltage storage capacitor (23) that becomes charged at a second, faster rate, wherein the boot strap capacitor (22), becoming initially fully charged initiates operation of a PWM driver (18) that in turn causes a power factor corrector and inverter (16) to energize corresponding gas discharge lamps (11). Upon activation of the PWM driver (18) and the corresponding activation of the power factor corrector and inverter (16), a voltage clamp (19) responds to these events by establishing a conductive path (20) between the high voltage storage capacitor (23) and the boot strap capacitor (22), such that continued operation of the PWM driver (18) is ensured. So configured, a relatively small valued capacitor can be utilized for the boot strap capacitor (22), thereby ensuring rapid activation of the lamps (11) without risking subsequent sporadic energization or other operational difficulties.
