Abstract: A binary pixel bitmap image (50) is converted to a multi-bit gray
level pixel image (32) at a level of resolution that is reproducible by a laser
printer (10). An edge smoothing procedure is employed by the laser printer (10)
and comprises the steps of: deriving from font contours (22) of the image, a
binary pixel bitmap (50) of the image at a higher level of resolution than is
output by the laser printer (10); logically stepping an m x n pixel window (40)
across pixel groups of the higher resolution binary pixel bitmap (50) and, at each
step, determining a count of pixels of one binary kind that are present within the
pixel window (50); converting each count of pixels to a corresponding
modulation signal (60,62); and controlling a laser (16) in the laser printer (10) in
accordance with each modulation signal (60,62) so that an edge smoothed gray
level image is produced at the printer's level of output resolution.

Also, the character input apparatus further comprises display
control means for exercising control of display such that a
candidate character is displayed at a prescribed display area
of display means in response to the signal sent from the
character selecting means, and that the respective characters
having been displayed in the display areas are shifted and
displayed when selection of a character out of the candidate
characters is determined by the selection determining means.

Abstract: A bit line pair is coupled through a pair of high-resistance pass gates (164L,164R) to a sense amp (166). During sense, the high-resistance pass gates (164L,164R) act in conjunction with the charge stored on the bit line pair as, effectively, a high-resistance passive load for the sense amp (166). A control circuit (185) selectively switches on and off bit line equalisation coincident with selectively passing either the equalisation voltage or set voltages to the sense amp (166) and an active sense amp load (172,174). Further, after it is set, the sense amp (166) is selectively connected to LDLs (182,184) through low-resistance column select pass gates (178,180). Therefore, the sense amp (166) quickly discharges one of the connected LDL pair while the bit line voltage remains essentially unchanged. Thus, data is passed from the sense amp (166) to a second sense amplifier and off chip. After data is passed to the LDLs (182,184), the control circuit (185) enables the active sense amp load (172,174) to pull the sense amp high side to a full up level. Additionally, because the control circuit (185) uses the equalisation voltage to disable the sense amp (166), cell signal margin may be tested in a new way. Instead of varying the sense amp reference voltage, as in prior art signal margin tests, cell signal margin is tested by varying cell signal. The cell signal may be selected to determine both a high and a low signal margin. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The
method comprises the steps of: error-correction decoding (310)
reproduced sync block data; determining whether there is
any remaining error in the error-corrected sync block
data, to select the error-corrected sync block data in the
previous frame if an error remains, and select the error-corrected
sync block data in the current frame if no error
remains (320); saving the selected sync block data in a frame
buffer (330); forming a segment (340) with selected sync blocks;
determining whether the data is reproduced in variable-speed
to process continuous data bits only between DCT
blocks within a sync block when the data is reproduced in
variable-speed, and process continuous data bits between
DCT blocks within a sync block and between sync blocks
within a video segment if not; variable-length decoding (350)
the processed data; and performing an inverse discrete
cosine transform (IDCT) operation for the variable-length
decoded data. A decision regarding the continuity of data
and the corresponding data processing are not needed, and
thus the DVCR can minimize the refresh time of the data
frame to be displayed.

comprises the steps of:
   (1) raising the temperature of a strip of elastic
fabric comprising an elastic component and a
heat-shrinkable component to such a temperature for such
a duration that the inherent heat-shrinkage is reduced
to a predetermined value;   (2) causing a heat-fusible adhesive layer to adhere to
a surface of the strip at a temperature below the
treatment temperature of step (1) and below the full
melt temperature of the adhesive;   (3) superimposing the strip on the garment or part so
orientated that one set of threads thereof are oblique

garment or part together at a temperature greater than
that in step (1) to cause the strip to be firmly bonded

Abstract: A new zonal isolation method and apparatus perforates a plurality of zones of a
formation, while isolating each perforated zone from every other zone, with one trip
into the wellbore, and without requiring the circulation of a kill fluid throughout the
wellbore following perforation to kill the well so that a packer and/or a perforating

perforating gun and a plug or packer connected to the perforating gun. The new
zonal isolation method includes detonating the perforating gun thereby creating a
set of perforations in the formation; moving the perforating gun and plug/packer
uphole until the plug/packer is situated at a particular position in the wellbore which
is disposed directly above the set of perforations in the formation; and setting the
plug/packer at the particular position in the wellbore. The perforated zones located
below the plug/packer are isolated from annulus fluids, pressure, or kill fluids which
are normally introduced above the plug/packer in the wellbore.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for generation of predicted
responses in a computer communications network system (20). A server (200) in the
computer communications network system predicts the client's next request (604)
based on the present client's request (600). The server sets a trigger (608) that
recognizes a match of the client's predicted request. When a client's
predicted request arrives, the trigger sends the response. Additionally,
the server associates a timeout action (610) with the predicted response so
that if a predicted request is not received within the timeout interval
or other events occur before the predicted request arrives, the triggered
response is removed and an alternative action is performed.

Abstract: A method and computer program product for synchronizing
processing between two or more data streams ( e . g ., video and
sound input) and for rate matching between two different
hardware clocks that may drift with respect to one another
( e . g ., an originating clock represented in a timestamped data
stream versus a clock actually rendering the data) in a system
of interconnected software drivers running in kernel mode. The
present invention overcomes the coordination complexity and
inaccuracies in the prior art by providing a clocking mechanism
in a system wherein multiple drivers having input and output
connection pin instances are chained together. The clocking
mechanism synchronizes between data streams by providing a
master clock on an input pin instance of a driver that is used
to synchronize with other input pin instances on other drivers
and "slave" clocks. Synchronization is achieved through event
notification or stream position queries so that corresponding
frames of data in separate streams are rendered together ( e . g .,
video frames with corresponding sound track). Rate matching is
achieved through monitoring a physical clock progression in
comparison with a series of data stream timestamps thereby
allowing adjustments to match the different clock rates. A
common physical clock ( e . g ., PC clock) can be used as a
reference for a component to translate a particular clock time
to a time shared by all components with a minimum of error.
