Patent EP-0707311-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SANO TAKANOBU
IPC: G11B15/52
Filed: 1995-10-12
Abstract: A reproducing device for reproducing a tape-shaped
recording medium, such as a magnetic tape, has recorded on
it an address information along with data on a plurality of
inclined tracks. The address information is composed of a
track address and a block address. The reproducing device,
reading out and reproducing data from the tape-shaped
recording medium, includes a reproducing unit, an address
extracting unit, a memory, a driving unit and a controller.
The reproducing unit reads out data from the tape-shaped
reproducing medium for data reproduction. The reproducing
unit has a rotary head configured for scanning plural tracks
of the tape-shaped recording medium for reading out data
from the recording medium. The address extracting unit
extracts the address information from data read out by the
reproducing unit by one scanning of the tape-shaped
recording medium by the rotary head. The memory stores data
read out from the reproducing unit. The data read out from
the reproducing unit is written in the memory based upon the
address information extracted by the address extraction
unit. The driving unit runs the tape-shaped recording
medium. The controller generates read-out addresses for
reading out the data stored in the memory. The controller
controls the driving unit based upon the address information
which is extracted by the address extraction unit and which
is associated with pre-set locations on the track of the
tape-shaped recording medium.

Abstract: A metal chimney pot or turret for a flue gas or vent duct is made of
interchangeable parts that can be installed and assembled together
without requiring the intervention of a bricklayer. A metallic basement
plate (1), specifically shaped to suit the standardized type of tiles of the
roof covering, is secured to the roof pitch and has an aperture defined by a
tubular collar (3) ending with a truncated-sphere (4) or equivalently shaped
portion. A metallic chimney pot (5) has a clamping flange (8) and an inner
circular collar (9) suited to rest on the surface of the upper hemisphere of
said end portion. Three or more tie-rods (10), engage said clamping flange to
tighten the joint and block the chimney pot in a perfectly vertical
alignment, regardless of the deviation from the true vertical of the axis of
the tubular collar of the basement secured to the pitch. 
     The universality of the adjustable coupling between the base and the
chimney pot permits an interchangeability of chimney pots of different
shape and/or material. The aligneability around 360°, permits the
manufacture of standardized bases for the various types of standard tiles,
regardless the actual slope of the roof.

Abstract: The invention is embodied in a distributed intelligence optical fiber
communications system capable of fully automated and continuous monitoring and testing
of the optical fibers and their connections within the optical fiber distribution frames
therein. In particular, it is an optical communications system having an optical distribution
frame including interconnection modules having actively intelligent microcontrollers
thereon. Also, the distribution frame includes inventive electrical and optical
interconnection fabrics between the distributed intelligence located on the interconnection
modules and a host located outside of the distribution frame. The distributed intelligence
interconnection modules allow monitoring, testing and/or related activities of the overall
optical communications system to be performed locally at the interconnection modules.
Also, when used in combination with the electrical and optical interconnection fabrics, the
inventive modules substantially reduce optical fiber routing and enable more effective
monitoring and testing operations to be performed, while maintaining compatibility with
existing conventional cross-connect, switching and network architectures.

IPC: G06T11/00

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking invalidation
information in tiled pixel image representations that
combines the concept of an invalidation rectangle with
the concept of invalid tile flags. A pixel is considered
as being possibly invalid if and only if it lies within
the invalidation rectangle and the tile containing that
pixel is flagged as invalid. In accordance with the
present invention, to invalidate an area, the
implementing program generates an invalidation rectangle
so that it bounds the area and the previous invalidation
rectangle (if not empty), and also sets the invalid tile
flags in the tiles overlapping that area. To validate an
area A within an image, the inventive method performs the
following steps: Define area B as the intersection of the
area A to be validated with the invalidation rectangle.
If area B is empty, the process is done: no pixels in
area A are invalid. If area B is not empty, then
determine which tiles intersect area B. For each tile
intersecting area B, if the tile is marked as valid, and
more tiles need to be processed, get the next tile that
intersects area B. If all tiles have been processed, the
process is done. If a tile is marked invalid, then define
area C as the intersection of the area covered by the
tile with the invalidation rectangle. Then validate area
C by recalculating all of the pixels in area C, and clear
the invalid flag for that tile. If more tiles need to be
processed, the next tile is fetched. Otherwise, the
process is done: no pixels in any area C - and hence in
area A - are invalid.

Abstract: Copper is applied to integrated circuit substrates, for example, by
chemical vapor deposition using a copper precursor of a
dimethoxymethylvinylsilane (dmomvs), or a methoxydimethylvinylsilane

complex-ligand bond helps ensure that the ligand separates from the (hfac)Cu
complex at consistent temperatures when Cu is to be deposited. Water vapor
may be added to the precursor to improve the conductivity of the deposited
Cu, and additional silylolefins, hexafluoroacetylacetone (H-hfac), and water
may be used separately or in combination to enhance deposition rate,
conductivity, and precursor stability.

Abstract: The present invention consists of a method and apparatus for
authenticating an electronic document. In one embodiment of the invention,
a party wishing to digitally sign an electronic document (the "client") stores
the unsigned electronic document, and the client's public and private keys, on
transportable storage media such as a floppy disk. The client conveys the
storage media to an authorized electronic document authenticator. An
authorized electronic document authenticator is an individual or enterprise
that has access to the apparatus of the present invention or that has been
authorized to use the method of the present invention. The client presents
identity documents to the authenticator to verify the client's identity. The
client digitally signs the electronic document in the presence of the
authenticator. The authenticator verifies the digital signature using the public
key provided by the client. Having witnessed the client digitally signing the
electronic document using the client's private key, having verified that the
public key supplied to the authenticator by the client corresponds to the
private key used by the client to produce the digital signature, and having
verified the identity of the client using the identification documents provided
by the client and/or biometric measurements taken of the client, the
authenticator appends an "authenticator identification envelope" containing
a certification to that effect to the electronic document. In one embodiment of
the invention, the authenticator identification envelope includes digitally
recorded biometric data obtained from the client. The authenticator digitally
signs the resulting electronic document, creating an authenticated electronic
document. The authenticator transfers the completed, authenticated
electronic document onto transportable storage media and returns it to the
client.
