Abstract: The present invention provides a time-series data display method for displaying time-series data items so that a user can grasp time more intuitively and sensuously, and an information processing system for realizing the display method, wherein first data associated with a desired date is retrieved and displayed, second data associated with a date contiguous to the desired date is retrieved, a display screen for the second data is displayed with a smaller size than a display screen for the first data in a temporal direction starting with the desired date, third data associated with a date contiguous to the date of the second data is retrieved, and the third data is displayed inside the second data with a display area thereof made smaller. The present invention also provides a hierarchical data display method and browser system, wherein a display area is divided into an area, in which data icons representing data items belonging to one level are displayed, and an area in which child levels are displayed. As a hierarchical depth increases, the data icons are made smaller in size and simpler. The hierarchical structure of a file system or data base having a hierarchical structure can be displayed in the form of a Venn diagram, thus making it possible to grasp the whole structure intuitively. Data items belonging to child levels are not hidden but displayed in the form of reduced images, whereby intended data can be located effortlessly. A cutout form and image are registered mutually independently. An identifier, position, and size of the cutout form are specified as the attributes of the image. Thus, an image can be fetched into album software by performing a simple operation, or a cutout can be changed in size.

Abstract: A digital system measures cyclic disturbance signals on an electrical line (22) that are induced by a connected unit under test (UUT) (23). The system includes a digital to analog (D/A) converter (14) which receives and converts a first train of digital signals to a cyclic analog test signal and applies that signal to the electrical line (22). An analog to digital (A/D) converter (16) receives and converts analog cyclic disturbance signals from the electrical line (22) to a second train of digital signals. A synch generator (34,32) applies a train of synch pulses, concurrently, to synchronizing inputs of the D/A converter (14)and the A/D converter (16) so that their respective conversion operations are based upon a common time-base signal. A processor (12) is coupled to the D/A converter and A/D converter and outputs the first train of digital signals to the D/A converter (14) and receives the second train of digital signals from the A/D converter(16). The processor (12) subjects a portion of the second train of digital signals to signal analysis, with the portion of the second train being representative of an integer number of cycles of the cyclic disturbance signal sensed from the electrical line (22) . The clock frequency which causes generation of the synch pulses is selected so that the synch pulses have a precise, predetermined relationship to a predetermined number of cycles of the cyclic signal (in the case of a power spectrum analysis) or a predetermined number of half cycles (in the case of an amplitude analysis).

Abstract: A gamma correction circuit includes a first look-up table in which minimum values of differences between output levels of a gamma correction curve and output levels of a straight line in respective sections formed by dividing a range from a minimum input level to a maximum input level into sixteen are stored. Furthermore, data of differences between the output levels of the gamma correction curve and levels obtained by adding the minimum values to the output levels of the straight line in the respective sections are stored in respective second look-up tables of sixteen. Then, one of the minimum values is read-out from the first look-up table according to upper four bits of input video data, and one of the second look-up tables is selectively enabled by the upper four bits, and data stored in the selected second look-up table is read-out in accordance with lower six bits of the input video data. Outputs from the first and second look-up tables are added to each other so as to output gamma correction data which is then added to the input video data, whereby a gamma characteristic of the input video data is corrected.

Abstract: In a method of identifying and quantifying the chemical components of a mixture of organic materials, the organic material is subjected to chromatography to separate components, and the separated material to spectrometry to detect and identify the components. The sample is injected into a column where the components are separated by partitioning at different rates and then passed into a spectrometer. A series of spectra are obtained to detect all species present and the spectra are stored in a computer file. The improvement consists of enhancing the spectral data by variable selection. The spectroscopic variables are smoothed, a mean value of their intensity obtained and subtracted from the smoothed variables. The output from this and the original spectroscopic variables are normalised and the values compared to obtain a measure of similarity for each spectroscopic variable. A threshold value of similarity measurement is determined so as to reject unwanted signals and only those spectroscopic values whose similarity measurement is over the threshold value are selected and the sum of the selected variables is plotted versus time to obtain the enhanced chromatogram.
