Abstract: A method and apparatus improves digital reproduction of a compound document image
containing half-tone tint regions and text and/or graphics embedded within the half-tone tint regions.
The method entails determining (30) a local average pixel value for each pixel in the image, then
discriminating and classifying (40) based on the local average pixel values, text-graphics pixels from
half-tone tint pixels. Discrimination can be effected by calculating a range of local averages within a
neighborhood surrounding each pixel; by calculating edge gradients based on the local average pixel
values; or by approximating second derivatives of the local average pixel values based on the local
averages. Text/graphics pixels are rendered using a rendering method appropriate for that type of pixel;
half-tone tint pixels are rendered using a rendering method appropriate for that type of pixel.

Inventor: TALLURI MADHUSUDHAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: In a distributed computer system, a sending node prompts a receiving node to
allocate and export to the sending node one or more memory "segments". Each
allocated segment is sufficiently large to hold multiple receive buffers whose size fall
within a predefined range of receive buffer sizes. Once a segment has been
allocated and exported, the sending node allocates receive buffers within the
segment, using sequentially contiguous portions for successive receive buffers,
without any interaction with the receiving node. Messages are transmitted to the
receiving node by remotely writing the data portion of each message to an allocated
receive buffer and writing a control message with a pointer to the corresponding
receive buffer to a message queue in the receiving node. The receiving node
processes messages within the portions of the allocated segments specified by each
control message and does not keep track of the used and/or unused portions of each
segment. Only the sending node keeps track of the unused portions of each
allocated segment. As a result, the computational and communication resource
overhead associated with allocating receive buffers is substantially reduced. Once
the sending node has exhausted a segment, it sends either a segment release
message or segment recycle message to the receiving node. Recycling the segment
causes the receiving node to re-enable the sending node to use the segment once
the receiving node has processed all the messages previously written to receive
buffers in the segment.

Abstract: Substantially branched alkenyl silicone polymer compositions having
on average at least two branching points per molecule are coated on a
substrate. The cured coated compositions provide improved release
properties against methyl and phenyl silicone pressure sensitive adhesives. 
     The coated release substrate comprising a substrate layer, the cured
release coating and a methyl or
phenyl silicone pressure sensitive adhesive is useful as transfer tape
or sheet facilitating the transfer of the pressure sensitive adhesive
from the substrate comprising the cured release coating to a second
substrate which may be a single layer of material or a laminate
comprising two or more layers. These releasable compositions may be used
in devices where a release layer is desired such as transdermal patches,
band-aids and other medical appliances. A laminate may be formed by
contacting one or a plurality of layers with that side of the coated
substrate carrying said pressure sensitive adhesive. 
     The materials useful as the substrate layer and as the layer or layers
in contact with the pressure sensitive adhesive are selected from the
group consisting of cellulose based substrates such as paper, film based
substrates such as polyolefin films, polyester films, polyamide films
and polyurethane films, and cellulose based substrates that have been
coated with film forming materials derived from polyolefins, polyesters,
polyamides and polyurethanes.

IPC: H04Q11/04

Abstract: A method of equalizing the channels of a WDM link comprises
identifying an error threshold level BER Fail  for the BER defined for each
signal S(j) in accordance with the channel rate, and determining the
attenuation A(j) of, for example, the power P(j) of each signal S(j) transmitted
over the WDM link. The transmitter powers are adjusted taking into account
the attenuations determined for all channels. The attenuation A(j) for channel
(j) is determined by first setting the power P(j) of all signals S(j) to a maximum
P Max , attenuating the power P(j) of channel (j) until the BER reaches the
threshold value BER Fail , measuring the power corresponding to the BER Fail 
for that channel, and calculating the difference between the P Max  and P(j) Fail .
The transmitter powers are then set according to the relationship P(j)=P Max -η
(A(j)-A Min ), where η is 0.8 for a system with 3-4 channels. The method may
be used for multi-channel systems with intermediate nodes where channels
are added and dropped.
