Patent EP-1176806-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MATTHEWS KRISTINE E
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: Images may be decomposed into separate layers each containing a limited
number of types of image element (text, line art, or photographic). Each layer
can then be compressed separately with a process that is optimal for the type of
image element included in the layer. Images are decomposed into foreground
(14), background (12), and mask layers (16). A method is provided for
generating the out-of-layer pixels and, as a result, generating a layer (40)
having a limited color palette that is to be compressed with a palette based
lossless compression method. A plurality of neighboring pixels is identified for
each pixel selected from the image. If the neighboring pixels are out-of-layer
pixels (82), the spatially corresponding pixel in the decomposition layer is
assigned a default value (84). If the neighboring pixels include in-layer pixels,
the pixel of the decomposition layer spatially corresponding to the selected pixel
is assigned the predominant color of the in-layer neighbors (106). If equal
numbers of the neighboring pixels have the same colors then the selected pixel
is assigned the value of a predetermined neighbor (104). If no two neighboring
pixels have the same color then the spatially corresponding pixel is assigned
the color that is most likely to occur in conjunction with pixels having the colors
of the neighboring pixels (108).

Abstract: A multiple-ejector system for printing arrays of biofluids include a tooling
plate having a plurality of sets of tooling pins extending outward from the surface of the
tooling plate. A printed circuit board is provided having pairs of power connection pins and
ground return pins extending from a surface of the circuit board. A plurality of biofluid drop
ejection units are provided and include alignment grooves and at least a transducer. Each of
the plurality of biofluid drop ejection units are connected to a corresponding one of a set of
tooling pins by connection of the tooling pins and alignment grooves. The power
connection pins of the pairs are in operational connection with respective transducers and
the ground return connection pins of the pairs are in operational connection with a body
portion of the drop ejection units. The different drop ejection units will contain different
biofluids which are to be emitted onto a substrate. Verification of drop ejection units
containing biofluids, may be obtained in one embodiment through the use of an optical
scanner. Detection of drops at defined locations provides a verification that validates a
properly formed spot is present on a substrate, and is in the correct position.

Title: Shielded magnetic head and magnetic reproducing apparatus
Inventor: KUROE AKIO
IPC: G11B5/02
Filed: 2001-08-07
Abstract: A shielded magnetic head (14) includes a magnetically shielded gap (7)
and first to fourth conductive magnetic films (1,2,3,4) disposed in the gap.
The first to fourth conductive magnetic films, each extending parallel to a
tip face of a magnetic head to be opposed to a magnetic recording medium (8),
are aligned at a distance from one another in a direction perpendicular to
the tip face so as to be away from the tip face in ascending order and
connected to one another so as to form a bridge circuit. The distance
between the first conductive magnetic film and the tip face is set so that a
signal magnetic field (10,11) from the magnetic recording medium is applied to the
first conductive magnetic film (1). By canceling impedance components that do
not vary depending on a magnetic field, the shielded magnetic head detects
only impedance components that vary depending on a signal magnetic field.

Abstract: The present application relates to a safety apparatus
which is intended to aid the balance of an individual
working on an elevated surface such as a horizontal
mast 1. The apparatus, which consists of a support
member 5 that projects up from the elevated surface,
may also arrest the fall of an individual from an
elevated surface by defining a support barrier in front
or behind or either side of the individual. The support
member may be adapted to be mounted within tool tracks
already provided on a mast, and is designed to move
along the tracks so as to balance the individual as he
moves along the elevated surface. Alternatively, the
elevated surface is provided with additional purpose-built
guides or tracks designed to cooperate with the
support member.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant magnetoresistive solid-state storage device (MRAM) in use performs error correction coding and decoding of stored information, to tolerate physical defects. At manufacture, the MRAM device is tested to confirm that each set of storage cells is suitable for storing ECC encoded data, using either a parametric evaluation (step 602), or a logical evaluation (step 603) or preferably a combination of both. Failed cells are identified and a count is formed, suitably in terms of ECC symbols 206 that would be affected by such failed cells (step 604). The count can be compared to a threshold (step 605) to determine suitability of the accessed storage cells and a decision made (step 606) on whether to continue with use of those cells, or whether to take remedial action.
