Abstract: In a cathode station (2) of a cathodic sputtering apparatus, a gas inlet (3), a substrate holder (10) with its substrate (11), and a gas outlet (5) are arranged on a common axis (4). As a result, a symmetric flow and a concentric uniformity of the gas pressure are produced within the cathode station (2). These conditions result in a particularly uniform coating of the substrate (11) by sputtering.

Abstract: A halftone screen pattern generation system for computing halftone screened images with rotated screens including multiple angle and ruling combinations, including irrational tangent angles, is disclosed. A screen pattern is generated by storing a plurality of strips (402, 404, 406) from an ideal angled screen pattern (Fig. 3), and then concatenating a sequence (Fig. 4) comprising a selected order of the plurality of strips in a sequence. The error between the actual generated screen and ideal desired screen is computed. Each subsequent strip is selected from the plurality of strips so as to reduce the accumulated error. In one embodiment, a screen pattern is generated by storing one strip of an ideal angled screen pattern, and then concatenating a selected sequence comprising the strip and substrips of the strip. In another embodiment, the measure of error between the actual generated screen and the ideal angled screen is the length of a vector in a transformed UV space between the actual screen sample point and the idealized screen sample point. The error is determined by vector addition of the accumulated error, from strip to strip, which is added to the present error contribution from the present strip.

Abstract: The present invention apparatus and method uses a recursive filter to estimate the instantaneous intensity and temporal rate of change in intensity for object points in consecutive images of an image-sequence. The estimates of the intensity and its temporal rate of change are updated for each new image in the image sequence. The amount of smoothing introduced by the recursive filter is dependant upon the estimates computed for the intensity and temporal rate of change. As such, the recursive filter corrects the image sequence in accordance with each new set of estimates. Since motion in an image-sequence is implicit in the rate of change of intensity, the recursive filter is able to achieve motion compensated enhancements.

The problem material is guided through a longitudinal cutter (6) and cut up into longitudinal strips. The longitudinal strips are guided through a tube (20) to a transverse cutter (24) and cut up to form granulated material. The granulated material is fed to a disposal point, in particular to a refuse-incineration plant. An apparatus for carrying out the method has pairs of cooperating knife discs (14) rotatable about an axis transverse to the conveying direction. Arranged in front of the said knife discs (14) are conveying rollers. The transverse cutter (24) has knives (28) which are attached to a drive shaft (16) arranged transversely to the conveying direction, air passage openings (36) for the conveying air being provided between the knives and the drive shaft and outside the knives. For the purpose of applying a liquid lubricant, in particular oil, use is made of a brush roller (12.5) which cooperates with a stripper (12.7) in such a manner that the bristles led through under the stripper and bent over throw the lubricant onto the side, coated with glue, of the problem material when they resile. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method includes applying for an authorised opening of a franking machine for the purpose of an inspection, an opening application being made after entry into the communication mode (300) at a remote data centre and, in response to the opening application made, a new code word Y' being sent from the data centre to the franking machine which, if it is lacking (step 207), sets the franking machine to a first mode (208) and thus effectively disables it. The franking machine can enter a second mode (steps 203-206) by means of a decision criterion (step 202) in the system routine (200) in order to output a warning and request for communication with the data centre to the user of the franking machine. The data centre monitors the behaviour of the user of the franking machine on the basis of data transmitted during the communication.
