Abstract: White light (25) is input to light diffracting means (26') so composed as to have a structure including macro prisms combined with a lenticular structure and include diffraction gratings at a microscopic level. As the height (h(x)) of unit steps of said diffraction grating (27') is modulated at every period of arranged pixels, the output diffracted light is decomposed into three primary colors (R, G and B), and guided with highly accurate matching to the three respective primary color pixels (2) of a liquid crystal panel means (1). In the pitch modulation type diffraction grating of the prior art, it was basically impossible to avoid the defect that the converged positions of a red light ray (R) and a blue light ray (B) deviate about 30%. In contrast, according to the arrangement of this invention, it becomes possible to eliminate the deviation of the converged positions of not only the green light ray but the red light ray (R) and the blue light ray (B), making it possible to provide a single plate type color liquid crystal display apparatus with high light utilization efficiency.

Abstract: Provided is a method for reproducible sampling of data items of a dataset
which is shared across a plurality of nodes of a parallel data processing
system. 
     In data mining of large databases, segmentation of the database is often
necessary either to obtain a summary of the database or prior to an
operation such as link analysis. A sample of data records are taken to
create an initial segmentation model. The records of this sample and the
initial model created from them can be critical to the results of the
data mining process, and the initial model may not be reproducible unless
the same sampling of data records is repeatable. Reproducible sampling is
enabled without polling of all nodes to locate particular records, by
providing each node with a small number of control parameters which
describe the particular partitioning of the dataset and so enable
computing of the location of a data record to allow for changes to the
partitioning. The invention is applicable to other sampling methods.

Abstract: An image compression scheme uses a reversible
transform, such as the Discrete Hartley Transform,
to efficiently compress and expand image data for
storage and retrieval of images in a digital
format. The image data is divided into one or more
image sets, each image set representing a
rectangular array of pixel data from the image.
Each image set is transformed using a reversible
transform, such as the Hartley transform, into a
set of coefficients which are then quantized and
encoded using an entropy coder. The resultant
coded data sets for each of the compressed image
sets are then stored for subsequent expansion.
Expansion of the stored data back into the image is
essentially the reverse of the compression scheme.
