Abstract: An apparatus and a concomitant method for performing hierarchical block-based motion estimation with a high degree of scalability is disclosed. The present invention decomposes each of the image frames within an image sequence into an M-ary pyramid. Different dynamic ranges for representing the pixel values are used for different levels of the M-ary pyramid, thereby generating a plurality of different 'P-bit' levels, i.e., a plurality of different M-ary pyramid architectures. The present scalable hierarchical motion estimation provides the flexibility of switching from one M-ary pyramid architecture to another M-ary pyramid architecture according to the available platform sources and/or user's choice.

Abstract: A locking device, particularly for ski boots of the type
constituted by a shell 2 and by an articulated quarter 4
constituted by a strut 8 which is associated at the heel
unit 11 of a ski binding. The strut 8 interacts by abutment,
when the boot is engaged with the binding, with the quarter,
which is freely articulated to the shell. It is thus
possible to provide a boot which allows optimum walking when
it is disengaged from the binding and is limited in its
backward oscillation by the action of the strut when it is
associated with the binding.

Abstract: In a method for forming an interconnection structure,
first, second and third insulating films and a thin film are
sequentially formed over lower-level metal interconnects.
Then, the thin film is masked with a first resist pattern and
etched to form a mask pattern with openings for interconnects.
Next, the third insulating film is masked with a second
resist pattern and dry-etched such that the third
insulating film and the first and second resist patterns are
etched at a high rate and that the second insulating film is
etched at a low rate to form openings for contact holes in
the third insulating film and remove the first and second resist
patterns. Then, the second insulating film masked
with the third insulating film is dry-etched such that the
second insulating film is etched at a high rate and that the
first and third insulating films are etched at a low rate to
form the openings for contact holes in the second insulating
film. Then, the third and first insulating films masked
with the mask pattern and the second insulating film, respectively,
are dry-etched such that the first and third insulating
films are etched at a high rate and that the mask pattern
and the second insulating film are etched at a low rate to
form wiring grooves and contact holes in the third and first
insulating films, respectively. Finally, upper-level metal
interconnects and contacts are formed.

Inventor: HENMI TERUO
IPC: C01B39/02
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: Artificial zeolite is made using coal ash,
particularly fly ash, as the starting material, and quality
of the artificial zeolite that is produced depends on the
composition of the starting coal. Since the production of
zeolite is impaired unless the starting materials,
including silicic acid and aluminum, that are used in the
synthesis of zeolite for catalysts, which is called
synthetic zeolite, are of high purity, starting material of
low purity cannot be employed. Therefore, the topic was
the development of a method of producing inexpensive
artificial zeolite of the desired quality employing unused
resources, such as descended pyroclastic materials,
incineration ash, glass waste, diatomaceous earth waste,
aluminum dross, etc., as the starting materials. 
     The present invention is a method whereby artificial
zeolite is produced by heat treatment in the presence of
water and alkali of an inorganic component comprising
silicic acid or aluminum, or a mixture that has been
obtained by adding glass, diatomaceous earth and aluminum
dross, etc., to an inorganic component comprising silicic
acid or aluminum. It is preferred that the alkali is
sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, the water and
alkali are an aqueous alkali solution, the concentration of
this aqueous alkali solution is 2 to 4 N, and heat
treatment exceeds 100°C.

Abstract: The present invention realizes spreading a sheet on a frame member by
a simple structure and a simple process, and prevents uneven tension
charged against the sheet. In the sheet spreading method of the
invention, a core member for a backrest of a chair which is heated to
around 200°C in a furnace is put into a flow dipping tank filled with
powder resin. As a result, a resin coating (6) is formed on the surface
of the pipe (4) constituting the core member. Also, a mesh (8) is placed
on a metal mold (10) and clamped. Since a recess corresponding to the
shape of the core member is formed in the top side of the metal mold,
the mesh is spread on the core member with a tension charged against
when the core member having the above-mentioned coating is pressed into
the recess.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for controlling a motional sequence of a first movable component of a plastic material injection molding machine having a first trajectory spatially overlapping at least partially a second trajectory of a second movable component of the plastic material injection molding machine. Motion of the first movable component is initiated depending on an enabling signal indicative for a motional state of the second movable component. The method comprises the steps of:a) determining a first period of time (TWA; TRE) between a first moment in time (tFW; tFR) when the enabling signal is generated and a second moment in time (t6; t3) when the first movable component enters the second trajectory;b) determining a second period of time (TRAmax; TWEmax) between the first moment in time (tFW; tFR) and a third moment in time (t10; t8) when the second movable component leaves the first trajectory;c) comparing the first period of time (TWA; TRE) with the second period of time (TRAmax; TWEmax) and generating a difference signal therebetween; andd) controlling motion of the first movable component as a function of this comparison of the first period of time (TWA; TRE) with the second period of time (TRAmax; TWEmax) such that the difference signal is smaller than a predetermined minimum tolerance value (T2; T1).

Abstract: A drying apparatus and method utilizes radiant heat and forced air
to provide for rapid drying of photosensitive material without emulsion side
contact. The forced air is supplied through air passages formed between cover
members that partially surround radiant heating bars, and is directed onto the
photosensitive material where it impinges upon the photosensitive material. As
the air passes through the air passages, it is heated by radiant heat from the heating
bars. The heated air increases the drying effect of the drying apparatus and at the
same time, impinges on the photosensitive material in a manner which assists in
holding the photosensitive material firmly against, for example, drive rollers.
