Patent EP-0833498-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERETTA GIORDANO
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1997-09-12
Abstract: Statistical methods are used to estimate the reflectance (250) of paper
and align the tone gamut to the dynamic range of a digital input device such as
a scanner during a single scan. A histogram (230) of the occurrence of each
tone level is accumulated during the scan. The background colour of the
image, i.e. the tone value of the paper is estimated by analysing the histogram
(230). When this value is known, the parameters for a tone reproduction
curve (TRC) (270) can be calculated (260). The shape of the TRC (270) is
not altered by these parameters, i.e. the exposure can be controlled
independently of the tone reproduction. This process is repeated from time to
time during the scan. This increases the robustness with respect to
unfavourable originals (e.g. originals with a dark border) and at the same time
also can take into account such phenomena as the change of the response of
the sensor due to thermal effect during slow scans.

Abstract: Des signaux à modulation d'amplitude en quadrature sont générés à partir de bits de données au moyen d'un modulateur à déplacement de phase en quadrature (MDPQ) qui code une première paire de bits de données en une phase faisant partie des quatre phases d'un signal de porteuse, ce qui produit un premier signal MDPQ. Un second modulateur MDPQ code une seconde paire de bits de données en une phase faisant partie des quatre phases du signal de porteuse, ce qui produit un second signal MDPQ. Le premier signal MDPQ est amplifié jusqu'à un premier niveau de puissance, et le second signal MDPQ est amplifié jusqu'à un second niveau de puissance. Les premier et second signaux amplifiés sont ensuite combinés de façon à produire un signal dans lequel quatre bits de données sont codés. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, un nouveau type de modulation, dénommé modulation par déplacement de phase en quadrature décalé (MDPQD), est utilisé à la place du premier et du second modulateur MDPQ, de façon à constituer un émetteur à modulation d'amplitude en quadrature décalé (MAQD). Un modulateur MDPQD code des bits de données en codant un premier sous-groupe de bits de données en une partie réelle d'un signal complexe à un instant impair d'une horloge, et en codant un second sous-groupe de bits de données en une partie imaginaire du signal complexe à un instant pair de l'horloge. La modulation MDPQC a pour avantage que toutes les transitions de signaux sont obligées de suivre des trajectoires entourant des cercles à rayon constant, ce qui permet d'obtenir un meilleur indice d'occupation spectrale.

Abstract: A novel method is provided for joining
substrates made of aluminum nitride series ceramics to each
other, which can perform the joining substantially without
leaving an intervening third phase other than aluminum
nitride series ceramics at the joining interface of the
substrates. The method is performed, for example, by
providing a joining agent 3 containing at least an aluminum
nitride series ceramics and a flux between the substrates
1 and 2, heat treating the joining agent to eutectically
melt the aluminum nitride series ceramics and the flux, then
precipitating a reprecipitated phase of the aluminum
nitride series ceramics at the joining interface of the
substrates. Alternatively, the method is performed by
providing a joining agent 3 containing at least an aluminum
nitride series ceramics and a flux between the substrates
1 and 2, heating the joining agent to a temperature range
T1 which is higher than the melting point of the flux,
subsequently heating the joining agent to a temperature
range T2 which is higher than the temperature range T1 to
exit the components of the flux from the joining interface,
ten precipitating the reprecipitated phase of the aluminum
nitride series ceramics at the joining interface.
