Abstract: A vacuum processing system for handling and processing rectangular glass panels for flat panel displays has a cluster configuration. The system includes a central buffer chamber (24), with multiple processing chambers (10,12,14,16,18,20), a load lock (26) and an unload lock (28) positioned around the buffer chamber (24) and coupled to the buffer chamber through gate valves (40,42,50,54,56,58,60). The buffer chamber (24) contains a turntable that is rotatable about a vertical axis. The system further includes substrate carriers, each for supporting a substrate in a vertical orientation as it is transported through the system and is processed. The turntable has dual substrate carrier positions for rotating substrate carriers into alignment with a selected processing chamber, the load lock (26) or the unload lock (28). Multiple substrates can be handled and processed concurrently to achieve a high throughput rate. The system is typically used for sputter deposition of ITO films and metal films on the glass substrate.

Abstract: In a three-phase brushless servo motor used in various electrical apparatus, Hall element signals are processed so as to provide an artificial encoder. Three-phase Hall elements (45a, 45b and 45c) shifted in phase from each other by 120 degrees in electrical angle are provided inside a brushless motor (41), and a selection/ inversion circuit (4a) generates a saw-tooth-wave from output signals of the three-phase Hall elements (45a, 45b and 45c). A differentiation circuit (4b) differentiates the saw-tooth-wave to thereby obtain a signal which is proportional to the rotational speed of the brushless motor (41) and which is used as speed information for motor speed control in a motor driving circuit (44). Thus, a low-cost and small-sized three-phase brushless servo motor which requires no encoder for rotational speed detection is realized.

Abstract: Several models (14,18,22) that represent one class of objects are used to determine whether an object under examination belongs to the class. The data (from 10) describing the object under examination is compared with reference information in each of the models (14,18,22) to produce an error value or signal ε 1,  ε 2,  ..ε n ) at the output of each model. The inverses of the errors are summed (in 24) to form an inverse of a combined error. The combined error is compared to a threshold to determine if the object under examination belongs to the class represented by the models.

Abstract: An engine control unit of a printer engine checks the status of each part of the printer, and if there is any change in the status, generates a predetermined representative status of changes and outputs a status change signal to a controller (RIP). The controller is informed of a change in the status by the status change signal, and reads the predetermined representative status to discriminate the changed status from unchanged statuses. In accordance with the discriminated status, the current status can be read. Accordingly, it is not necessary to periodically read the statuses, improving the efficiency of an image forming process. A status change informing control unit in the engine control unit sets a changing status bit of a basic status or status change signal and sends it to the controller, when there occurs a change in any data of a presence/absence and paper size of a paper sheet at a paper feeding port and a loading state of an optional paper feeder. The controller periodically monitors the basic status or status change signal. Only when the changing status bit becomes true, the controller requests the engine control unit to supply the status data representative of a presence/absence, paper size, or loading state of an optional paper feeder.

Abstract: An ink jet head comprises a diaphragm (8), which is part of an electrostatic actuator used for generating pressure in an ink chamber (5). The ink jet head also comprises an opposing wall (91) opposite to the diaphragm. The diaphragm includes a segment (8a) which contacts the opposing wall in response to a drive voltage lower than that for the rest of the diaphragm. When the pressure for ink droplet ejection is generated, the segment of the diaphragm contacts the opposing wall, creating an extremely low compliance state. After ink droplet ejection, the segment of the diaphragm separates from the opposing wall, producing a high compliance state that absorbs the pressure created in the ink chamber by oscillation in the ink channel. This allows to prevent satellite emissions. Means are disclosed for controlling the mass of the ejected ink droplets and for obtaining a high ink nozzle density in an ink jet head using an electrostatic actuator without increasing the drive voltage.

Abstract: In a method of detecting a data error in a finite element meshing diagram in which an analytic model is meshed into finite elements, the number of elements having each of boundaries of elements surrounding a node as their own boundaries is counted respectively to check whether the node is positioned inside or on an outer circumference of an element meshing diagram. By using this position information, data error detection is performed for the element meshing diagram. When one side, face, or element is regarded as a segment and this segment is to be extracted from a finite element meshing model, an index value characterizing the combination of nodes constituting each segment is assigned to the segment. A segment list is formed by consecutively arranging pieces of information of segments having the same index value. An index table showing the relationship between the index values and the positions in the segment list also is formed. On the basis of the segment list and the index table, segments having the same index value are extracted to obtain node information. A free face is extracted from an element by checking, for all faces of the element, whether a face of the element is shared by another element. Whether two faces having one side of the element as their own sides are free faces is checked. If both of the two faces are free faces, it is determined that the side is a contour. Whether a side having one node of each element as its own end point is a contour is checked. If all of the sides are contours, it is determined that the node is a vertex.

Abstract: Multiple data stream searching is achieved by encoding a video broadcast into multiple types of data streams including video, audio and subtitle data. Addresses are generated for each of the data streams pointing to a position of the data stream to be stored on a record medium. These addresses are stored in areas of the record medium reserved by type of data stream Such that location of any event represented by data in a data stream can be achieved by locating the data streams at the same type as that of the data to be located. A computer-readable memory directs a computer to store these addresses and to decode data streams at these addresses which correspond to the type of data stream to be searched. The data streams which are of the type to be searched are decoded and the event to be searched is found in these decoded data streams.

Abstract: A moving direction measuring device includes a collation Fourier pattern data generating section, a registration Fourier pattern data generating section, a pattern processing section, and a moving direction measuring section. The collation Fourier pattern data generating section generates collation Fourier two-dimensional pattern data by performing two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform for two-dimensional pattern data input at time T n . The registration Fourier pattern data generating section generates registration Fourier two-dimensional pattern data by performing two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform for two-dimensional pattern data input at time T n+1 . The pattern processing section synthesizes these Fourier two-dimensional pattern data, and performs either two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform or two-dimensional discrete inverse Fourier transform for the resultant data. The moving direction measuring section obtains a correlation peak in a correlation component area appearing in the synthesized Fourier two-dimensional pattern data having undergone Fourier transform performed by the pattern processing section, and obtains a direction from a reference position in the correlation component area to a position of the correlation peak as a moving direction of the device.
