Title: Image processing method and apparatus
IPC: G06T7/60
Filed: 1988-02-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a picture 
processing apparatus. In particular, a picture processing 
apparatus suitable for executing the contour tracking of 
an image comprises a picture element address computation 
section (100) including adders (101, 102) and registers 
(103 to 112), a direction code computation section (200) 
for coding the transition of the picture element address 
as a direction on the screen, a computation control 
section (300) for controlling the picture element address 
computation section in accordance with a request for 
neighbor access of a current contour picture element for 
detecting a next contour picture element, a request for 
transition from the current contour picture element 
address to the next contour picture element address, 
and a request for transition to a start point in the 
neighbor access, all of these requests being supplied 
from a system processor (2). Thereby, it becomes pos­
sible to increase the speed of contour tracking and 
arbitrarily set the size of a mask for contour tracking. 
An image processing apparatus capable of realizing 
coarse contour tracking is thus disclosed.

Patent EP-0334624-A3 (EP)
Title: Microcoded computer system
IPC: G06F9/22
Filed: 1989-03-22
Abstract: A multiprocessor system, which includes a numeric processing module 
connected to a cache memory by a very wide cache bus. The numeric processing 
module interfaces to the cache bus in a way that permits microinstructions to 
be transferred in parallel over the cache bus. This permits the large 
bandwidth of the cache bus to be exploited for microcode overlays. This system 
even makes dynamic paging of microcode practical in some applications.  
     This microcoded architecture also provides improved multiway branching. 
The relative addressing capability of a sequencer is exploited, to remove 
address boundary constraints on multiway branching. An additional input 
permits the increment between the destination addresses to be varied.  
     A numeric processing subsystem which has a dedicated data-transfer 
processor running concurrently with the other processors. When accessing data 
generated externally (or at the interface controllers) which has less than the 
internal data width (32 bits), the top bit of the data is preferably replicated 
in hardware to fill the field. This provides correct sign and zero extension. 
This capability permits the 32-bit programming environment to dispense with 
word-instructions or byte-instructions.

Patent EP-0400282-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 1990-03-10
Abstract: In a known magnetic videotape device for the transparent recording of a baseband television signal, a non-linear preemphasis is carried out at the recording end and a non-linear deemphasis is carried out at the replay end for improving the signal/noise ratio. The novel magnetic videotape device should also be suitable for the transparent recording of composite colour television signals and at the same time ensure a good signal/noise ratio. Essentially, this is achieved by automatically switching between a non-linear and a linear preemphasis of the higher-frequency signal components during the recording and deemphasis during the replaying. The non-linear part of the preemphasis and of the deemphasis, respectively, is only effective in the presence of baseband television signals. In the case of composite colour television signals, a linear preemphasis and deemphasis is carried out exclusively. Magnetic videotape devices by means of which both satellite television signals and composite colour television signals can be recorded. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0401962-A3 (EP)
Title: Device for combined cardiac pacing and defibrillation
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 1990-04-09
Abstract: A method is disclosed for combined cardiac pacing and defibrillating with an implanted pacer/defibrillator having sensing and pacing leads connected to the atrium and the ventricle. P-waves and R-waves are sensed, and a V-V timer and a V-A timer are reset if an R-wave is sensed. If an R-wave is sensed during the V-V timer interval, a pacing stimulus to the ventricle is inhibited. If a P-wave is sensed during the V-A timer interval, a pacing stimulus to the atrium is inhibited. If an R-wave is sensed during the V-V timer interval, arrhythmia therapy is provided if an arrhythmia is determined to be present. If the sensed ventricular rate is greater than a selected tachycardia rate but is less than a selected fibrillation rate, then a determination is made whether the sensed atrial rate is greater than a selected fibrillation rate, and if so, the V-V and V-A timers are reset, but if the sensed atrial rate is not greater than a selected fibrillation rate, then arrhythmia therapy is provided. If an arrhythmia is present, the charging of a capacitor commences but if the arrhythmia ceases, the charging discontinues. If the capacitor is charged and the arrhythmia is still present, then a shock is delivered to the heart during a time period that is outside the vulnerable zones of the atrium and the ventricle.

entering the gas system and also decreasing the dead space 
presented to the closed gas system by the valve. A purge 
port is located between the open and closed positions of the 
loseat seal thereby permitting purging gas to bathe the 
sealing members and the bellows in both positions.

Title: Plasma treatment device
IPC: H01J37/18
Filed: 1991-02-26
Abstract: The plasma treatment device has a vacuum chamber (10) in which a rotating plate (13) is arranged. In the vacuum chamber (10), the workpieces (19) are subjected to a glow discharge for surface treatment at high temperatures in a vacuum, by a treatment gas which is introduced at low pressure. The workpieces (19) are moved around, by means of a lock (25), on the rotating plate (13) which is located in the vacuum chamber, and are treated at selectable processing positions. A plurality of rotating plates permits three-dimensional storage of the workpieces. The rotating plate (10) is split by separating walls (21) into spaces (22) such that different treatments are possible at different processing positions. While the workpieces are being inserted into the vacuum chamber (10), and removed from it, the processes may be continued on the remaining workpieces (19). The treatment device permits a continuous flow operation, it also being possible to have different treatment durations, treatment temperatures and plasma activities for the individual workpieces.

Abstract: The invention describes a frame for belt conveyors, comprising parallel T-grooved longitudinal spars which are located opposite one another at a distance and interconnected in one piece by means of an intermediate support, and the longitudinal spars can have fastened to them bearing plates for deflecting and/or driving rollers. Such a frame should be structurally simple, inexpensive to manufacture and keep in stock, and the fabrication should require minimum machining of the frame. This is achieved if at least one of the two free surfaces of the intermediate support is designed as a continuous sliding plane for the conveyor belt or as a bearing surface for a slide block and if the longitudinal spars each have, in the region of their outer lateral limiting faces and in the vertical position between the two free surfaces of the intermediate supports, a T-groove extending over the entire length.

Patent EP-0479409-A3 (EP)
Title: Austenitic stainless steel screw and a method for manufacturing the same
IPC: C23C8/26
Filed: 1991-04-22
Abstract: An austenitic stainless steel screw has a surface formed into a hard nitrided layer, and a part such as a screw head which is in contact with outside air has its ultra hard surface layer of the hard nitrided layer removed by scouring or the like, to be rust resistant. Even when the ultra hard surface layer is thus removed, an inner hard layer of the hard nitrided layer which was present beneath the surface layer remains to maintain the hardness of the screw surface. A method for manufacturing the austenitic stainless steel screw includes, upon forming the hard nitrided layer on the screw surface by nitriding, cleaning the austenitic stainless steel screw surface with a fluorine- or fluoride-containing gas prior to nitriding. Thereby, any remaining foreign matter or oxidized layer or the like on the screw surface is removed and at the same time the screw surface is activated so N atoms easily penetrate and diffuse during nitriding to form a uniform nitrided layer.
