Patent EP-0481812-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ESCHBACH REINER
IPC: H04N1/387
Filed: 1991-10-18
Abstract: A method of image conversion takes an original print ready image at a first resolution scaling and orientation, and simulates printing that image by creating (12) a representation of a page at the particular resolution, scaling and orientation. The image is then periodically sampled (14) through the page with an aperture that corresponds to the desired output. Because the resolution, scaling and/or orientation of the "print" and "scan" are distinct, the aperture "sees" areas which may correspond to more than a single pixel on the original image, and thereby may derive a signal that is gray, i.e., the aperture may see an area that is neither completely black or white, and the image data derived will be considered gray. The gray image data, which may be definable at several bits per pixel, is then made print-ready by reducing (16) the number of bits defining each pixel to a valid output state (0, 1 for a typical binary printer, 0, 1, 2, 3 for a quaternary printer, etc.). The reduction step is accomplished through error diffusion methods that maintain the local area gray density level. In color applications, each of the bitmaps representing a color separation, be it 2, 3, 4 or any other number, is treated independently with the same method.

Abstract: Error or condition reporting messages known as "alerts" transmitted to a communication network management facility are correlated by including with each reporting message or alert a unique token having a length field, a key identifier field identifying the nature of the message and a data message field containing a unique n-byte pattern. Incoming reporting messages or alerts received at the communication network management facility are scanned for the existence of a reporting message correlation subvector and, if such a message is found, its token is extracted and compared against a list of previously received tokens to determine whether the reporting message concerns a facility or resource which has already been the subject of a previous report or alert. The inclusion of the length and key identifier fields in addition to the unique n-byte field to make up the token assures that correlation tokens generated under different communication protocols will not contain identical tokens.

Abstract: Proper operation of an integrated circuit (IC) is destroyed when voltage exceeding a predetermined level is applied to the circuit. A switching MOS transistor utilizing floating gate technology is used to shunt electrostatic discharge (ESD) away from the IC. The switching MOS transistor is adapted to switch at a voltage level which is greater than the normal operating voltage for the IC but less than the predetermined voltage level characteristic of the IC. A first switching MOS transistor provides a path for a positive ESD stress by having its control gate and drain connected to the line of interest and its source connected to a reference point. Thus, when a positive voltage spike greater than the circuit voltages occurs on the line of interest, the first switching MOS transistor shunts the ESD stress away from the line of interest. A second switching MOS transistor provides a path for a negative ESD stress by having its control gate and drain connected to the reference point and its source connected to the line of interest. Thus, when a negative voltage spike greater than the circuit voltages occurs on the line of interest, the second switching MOS transistor shunts the ESD stress away from the line of interest.

Abstract: In a multiprocessor computer system (10), wasted bus bandwidth resulting from slow responding slaves (S) is reduced by relinquishing the master (M) that was busied by the slow responding slave, and then causing the slave to effectively arbitrate for bus (12) control on the relinquished master's behalf when the slow responding slave is either available to service the master or has the requested data. In accordance with the disclosed embodiment, the slave effectively arbitrates (36) for bus control on the relinquished master's behalf by placing a unique arbitration code associated with the relinquished master on the bus. The relinquished master detects (42) the presence of its arbitration code and then again arbitrates (22) for bus control so that it may communicate with the slow responding slave.

Abstract: A system for obstacle avoidance path finding for a multiple-degree-of-freedom mechanism (10) such as a mobile robot moving from a starting point (#0) to a goal (#10) avoiding obstacles (#1-#4). In the system, the obstacles etc. are defined to be a virtual space having a continuous drag coefficient that increases with increasing proximity to the obstacle etc. A path (14) is determined on the basis of the variational principle as the extreme for a functional such as time required for the mobile robot's movement. Since the viscous drag coefficient is greatest at the obstacle, the determined path (14) does not go through the obstacle so that the obstacle can be avoided without fail. Moreover, since the path (14) is determined on the variational principle, and the time required for the movement is adopted as the functional, the determined path will locally be that of minimum time. The path is smooth and optimum for the mobile robot. Instead of defining the obstacles as a virtual space, the mechanism (10) itself could be defined as such.

Abstract: Described is a network addressing scheme in which a message sent from a source node to a destination node include a path address which defines the path over which the message should travel to reach the destination node. At each node between the source and destination, the path address is compared against a predetermined value, and on determining that the address and predetermined value are different, the node modifies the address before forwarding the message onto the next node. In a switch node having three or more ports, the identity of the output port is determined from the path address and a portion of the address is deleted before sending the message out on that output port. Also described is a method of configuring a network in which one or more initiator nodes are defined, the initiator nodes issuing query messages to an adjacent node which responds by sending the initiator details of the number of operational ports which are implemented in the adjacent node. The initiator node then issues query messages addressed to those nodes which are attached to the operational ports on the adjacent node. This continues until the initiator has walked through the entire network at which point the configuration process is complete.
