Abstract: in conventional methods for the reaction to give final products, the cation donor starting material is introduced in solid form and the anion donor starting material in gas form as reactant gas. The anion donor starting material in particular can however be highly toxic, such as to be technically difficult to handle in the gaseous state. According to the inventive method both starting materials are applied to a solid mixture as easily handled solids, whereby under the applied method conditions the starting materials in the solid mixture do not inter- or intra-react. After application of the solid mixture to a substrate with any morphology, the solid dry starting layer is treated with an activating gas, which triggers the chemical reaction between the solid starting materials, which is as non-toxic as possible and the components of which are not contained in the final product. Said method is thus suitable for production of chalcogenide coatings or organic coatings according to the choice of starting materials in a technically simple, reliable and economic manner of operation, in particular in large-scale applications.

Abstract: When digital content is recorded, identification information
for the digital content and a random number are recorded on
each of a nonvolatile memory (110) and an internal HDD (104). When the
digital content is moved from the internal HDD (104) to another
recording medium (4), the random number recorded in the
nonvolatile memory (110) and the random number recorded on the
internal HDD (104) are compared to see if they match. Also, an offset
value that indicates a location of a previous end-point at
which the digital content has been ended to be read is read
from the internal HDD (104), and the read offset value is compared
with a location of a start-point at which the digital content
is started to be read. If the random numbers match and the
location of the start-point is greater than the offset value,
the digital content is permitted to be moved.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention allocates a coordinate
point of target image data on a color space to multiple lattice points
in a color conversion table and reads data stored at the multiple
lattice points. This arrangement ensures high-speed color
conversion of the target image data. The procedure selects multiple
lattice points and allocates a coordinate point of one target image
data to the selected multiple lattice points. The procedure then
specifies color-converted image data corresponding to the target
image data, based on data read from the multiple lattice points. A
first application allocates the target image data to the coordinate
points of the multiple lattice points arbitrarily selected in the
vicinity of the target image data. A second application allocates
N-dimensional target image data to the coordinate points of multiple
but not greater than N lattice points. A third application calculates
an arithmetic mean of the data read from the multiple lattice points
to specify the color-converted image data. Any of these arrangement
effectively enhances the conversion accuracy without increasing the
size of the color conversion table.

Abstract: Freshly printed sheets are transferred from one printing
unit to another by transfer cylinders each having an ink repellent,
electrically conductive, striped flexible jacket covering
that is movable relative to the sheet support surface of the
transfer cylinder. The jacket covering is made of a flexible
fabric material that is pre-stretched, pressed flat, cut to size
and treated with an ink repellent compound and is also treated,
with an anti-static ionic compound or is otherwise rendered
electrically conductive by one or more conductive strands.
Electrostatic charges carried by the freshly printed sheets are
discharged through the ink repellent, electrically conductive,
flexible jacket covering into the grounded transfer cylinder. A
low friction, electrically conductive cylinder base covering that
includes center alignment marks is secured to the transfer
cylinder for engaging the flexible jacket covering. The ink
repellent, electrically conductive flexible jacket covering is
provided with alignment center marks and alignment stripes so that
the flexible jacket covering can be precisely aligned with ease
and secured over the gripper edge, tail edge and side edges of the
transfer cylinder. The low frictional coefficient of the
conductive cylinder base covering is further reduced by nodes
and/or openings.

Abstract: A digitally compensated direct-conversion receiver includes
devices for generating digital samples of a base-band in-phase signal and a base-band
quadrature signal and for detecting the presence of a second-order product
signal produced by an amplitude-modulated interfering signal. Also, the
apparatus comprises a device for digitally compensating the digital samples by
removing the second-order product signal, thereby producing compensated digital
samples. In one method of digitally compensating samples of an information
signal quadrature-modulating a carrier signal, estimated samples of a second-order
product from a switched carrier signal are formed by averaging the digital
samples during two time periods and by determining a time of ramps in the in-phase
and quadrature signals that occur between the time periods due to the
interfering signal. The digital samples may be differentiated and the results
smoothed in determining the time of the ramps. In another apparatus, the
estimated samples of the second-order product signal are produced by a device
for averaging a square of a difference between respective digital samples of the
in-phase signal and the quadrature signal, thereby determining an amplitude of
the amplitude-modulated carrier signal, and a device for combining the amplitude
and the digital samples, thereby generating the estimated samples.

Abstract: Improved method and apparatus for vector quantization (VQ) to build a
codebook for the compression of data. The codebook (600) or "tree" is
initialized by establishing N initial nodes (610) and creating the remainder of
the codebook as a binary codebook (650). Children entries (670) are split
upon determination of various attributes, such as maximum distortion,
population, etc. Vectors obtained from the data are associated with the
children nodes, and then representative children entries are recalculated.
This splitting/reassociation continues iteratively until a difference in error
associated with the previous children and current children becomes less than
a threshold. This splitting and reassociating process continues until the
maximum number of terminal nodes is created in the tree, a total error or
distortion threshold has been reached or some other criterion. The data may
then be transmitted as a compressed bitstream comprising a codebook and
indices referencing the codebook.
