Filed: 1993-12-06
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for incorporating a portion (1401) (including all) of a first name space (115(b)) into a second name space (115(a)). An agent operating in the first name space receives first operation specifiers which use names as they are used in the second name space from an entity operating in the first name space and translates the first operation specifiers into second operation specifiers which specify the same operations and use the names as they are used in the first name space. The apparatus and methods are implemented in the Plan 9 operating system. The first and second name spaces are organized as trees and belong to a first process operating on a first processor and a second process operating on a second processor. The first operation specifiers are Plan 9 file protocols which the first process receives from the second process. The second operation specifiers are Plan 9 file system calls made by the first process. The translation between the file protocols and the system calls is made using a data structure which permits the names in the portion as they are used in the second name space to be mapped onto the names as they are used in the first name space.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for digitally printing a finely detailed image using pulse width modulation (PWM) with improved productivity over the prior art. Many images, or portions of images, generated by printers utilizing PWM do not require that any of the pixels be exposed for the maximum time possible, but that a maximum exposure can be determined for a selected portion of the image, whether it is for a line, for a paragraph, or for a selected color, that can then be used to speed up the printing of that portion of the image. Thus, a less than full density exposure can be set as the maximum, and the scanning speed increased accordingly to shorten the overall time required for printing that portion of the image.

Abstract: A laser apparatus comprises a plurality of laser beam sources (10) for radiating out a plurality of laser beams (Li) such that the laser beams may intersect one another on a predetermined virtual plane (SA), through which the laser beams pass. A Fourier transform lens array (30) optical system, which divides the laser beams having impinged upon the virtual plane into small regions and carries out Fourier transform of the small regions, is located in the vicinity of the virtual plane. A laser resonator mirror optical system is constituted of a first laser resonator mirror (42), which is located at a position that receives the laser beams having been radiated out of the Fourier transform lens array optical system, and a second laser resonator mirror (50), which is located at a position rearward from the laser beam sources.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens provides a cumulative ratio of distance to near focal length that is predominantly distance correction under high illumination, nearly evenly divided between distance and near correction under moderate illumination, and favoring again distance vision correction under low level illumination. The lens is specifically adjusted to match the patient's pupil size as a function of illumination level, in the preferred embodiment by applying pupil size parameters as a function of age. This lens has the properties of matching both the distribution of near and distance focal vision correction to the type of human activity typically undertaken in various illumination conditions, as well as matching particular lens dimensions to suit the size of the pupil as a function of illumination intensity.

Abstract: Recording and reproducing a television signal with a DC shifter prevents compression distortion of a PAL plus television signal. The PAL plus television signal includes a vertical resolution signal, for enhancing vertical resolution, which is included in the same compression blocks as some of the component video signals. Such compression blocks are shifted to a DC set up value so that the signals within those compression blocks do not have varying DC offsets which otherwise could result in compression distortion. Similarly, upon reproduction, the DC set up value is removed after decompression and the original television signal is restored with complete vertical resolution.

Abstract: An ATM communications network includes a system processor having a device driver and a memory coupled to an adapter at an interface. Frames stored in the memory are transmitted to the network using a transmit ready queue residing in the adapter and defined by transmit control registers. The frames are linked together by descriptors and pointers to received ready lists maintained by the device driver. A transmit frame complete list is established in the system memory using the transmit control registers. An interrupt is generated by the adapter indicating when frame transmission is complete. Simultaneously, cells are received from the network and stored in system memory according to a free buffer list established by the device driver. A pointer is maintained by the device driver to the last entry of the receive free buffer list. The adapter maintains a pointer to the next buffer to be used from the receive free buffer list. A receive ready list is established by the device driver in system memory with the location indicated to the adapter via the receive control registers in the adapter. The receive data cells are reassembled into frames in buffers from the free buffer list. At completion of a received frame, the frame is added to an appropriate receive ready list. An interrupt is generated to the processor by the adapter when one or more completed frames reside on the receive ready list for transmission to the network.

Abstract: A compression coding device and method, which provide a fully JPEG compliant two-pass approach that can compress an arbitrary image to a predetermined fixed size file, estimate an activity metric based on the average sum of the absolute value of the quantized DCT coefficients per block. Given the activity metric, a mathematical model relating the image activity to the JPEG Q-factor for a given value of the target compression ratio provides an estimated Q-factor value that yields the desired target ratio. This mathematical model is developed during a calibration phase which is executed once off line for a given image capturing device. The coding method can be implemented in either speed or memory bound systems.
