Abstract: A method and apparatus for chroma keying filtered textures are provided. Chroma keying is performed which replaces the input texel color with a new color if the input texel color matches the chroma color. The chroma key circuitry keeps the input texel color and sets the alpha component to 1 if the input texel color does not match the chroma color. The chroma keyed texels are filtered using bilinear filtering. The color components of the filtered texels are fogged using a fog factor, a fog color, and the alpha component of the filtered texel. The fogged and filtered signal is blended with a background color to produce an output color for the texels.

Abstract: A plate handling apparatus (10) including a plate feeder (12) for sequentially advancing a stack of plates (11) and a pick-up assembly (14) for successively removing the forwardmost plate from the stack is disclosed. The plate feeder (12) includes a conveyor (18), a pair of clutches (22,24), and a crank assembly (26) for moving the stack a first distance toward the pick-up assembly and for subsequently moving the stack a second, slightly shorter distance away from the pick-up assembly before the pick-up assembly removes the forwardmost plate from the stack. This consecutively feeds the stack of plates towards the pick-up assembly so that the forwardmost plate in the stack can be removed from the stack by the pick-up assembly. This also provides a gap between the stack of plates and the pick-up assembly immediately before the pick-up assembly removes the forwardmost plate from the stack for preventing the removed plate from striking the remaining plates in the stack.

Abstract: A catalyst system includes a three-way catalyst (TWC) mounted underfloor and an engine management system programmed to initiate an enrichment of the exhaust gases exiting the engine with at least one of CO and hydrocarbons and to add secondary air to the exhaust gases in the exhaust passage upstream of the TWC. This periodic enrichment and addition of secondary air causes catalytic oxidation of the at least one of CO and hydrocarbons over the TWC thereby raising the underfloor TWC temperature to at least 550° C., preferably higher, in order to reduce sulphur poisoning of the catalyst and maintain the desired catalytic activity.

Abstract: An array of electrodes at the atomic or nano scale (nanoelectrodes) is built on a chip. The spatial distribution, height, width and electrochemical composition of the nanoelectrodes is varied, such that protein-specific electronic receptors are built directly on the chip with the nanoelectrodes without the use of any specific binding agents or molecules. Because of their size, a very large number of different receptors can be built as arrays on a single chip. The chip can be used to detect, characterize and quantify single molecules in solution such as individual proteins, complex protein mixtures, DNA or other molecules.

Abstract: A novel one-pot cost efficient process for the preparation of co- and terpolymers of p-hydroxystyrene or substituted p-hydroxystyrene and alkyl acrylates is disclosed and claimed. The process involves polymerization of esters of p-hydroxystyrene (or its substituted analogs), alkyl acrylate monomers and one or more of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in an alcoholic solvent in the presence of a free radical initiator. Subsequent hydrolysis of so formed polymer under transesterification conditions using catalytic amounts of base catalyst results in co- and/or terpolymers of p-hydroxystyrene without cleavage of the alkyl ester in the acrylate repeat unit. Preferred embodiments include copolymer of p-hydroxytyrene and tert-butyl acrylate and terpolymer of p-hydroxystyrene, tert-butyl acrylate and styrene. These polymers have a wide variety of applications including as photoresists in microelectronics industry.

Abstract: Multiple-mode cellular radiotelephones use a wide bandwidth receiving mode while scanning for signals in a narrow bandwidth receiving mode. Thus, when it is desired to scan the received frequency band to search for the presence of narrowband signals, the wider receiver bandwidth is first selected. When significant signal energy is identified in the wider bandwidth, a further scan using the narrowband mode may then be provided in order to locate the narrow bandwidth channel containing the strongest signal. In another embodiment, the signals that are received in the wider bandwidth mode are digitized to obtain complex signal samples. The complex signal samples are then processed to determine energy in each of a plurality of narrower bandwidths corresponding to channels in the narrower bandwidth cellular radiotelephone standards. Accelerated scanning of TDMA cellular channels may be obtained by tuning the cellular radiotelephone to a succession of frequency channels within one TDMA time slot and measuring signal strength for each of the succession of frequency channels. Tuning and measuring is then repeated for remaining ones of the TDMA time slots in the TDMA frame, preferably using the same channels in the same order. For each frequency channel, the signal strength that is the greatest measured signal strength of the frequency channel in all of the TDMA slots is assigned to that frequency channel. The assigned signal strengths may then be used to select a frequency channel for TDMA signal acquisition. Historical information may also be used to accelerate scanning of cellular channels by a cellular radiotelephone.
