Title: High speed databus utilizing point to multi-point interconnect non-contact coupler technology achieving a multi-point to multi-point interconnect
Inventor: SIMONOVICH LAMBERT
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 1998-10-21
Abstract: A high-speed data bus utilizes non-contact coupler technology which allows point to multi-point broadcasting of a data signal to multiple sinks at very high (Gb/s) speeds. These point-to-multi-point data bus transmission lines can then be used to construct a higher order multi-point to multi-point data bus, without contention at the bus level, since data can be made to flow continuously along each transmission line. The non-contact technology is implemented as a series of taps on a transmission line; the taps operate by way of capacitive or inductive or directional coupling, which helps to isolate the transmission line from the loading effects of circuitry connected to the taps and permits low distortion and high speed operation. The transmission line may also be terminated in the same slot where it originates, and its outbound section may be etched on a single conductive layer in the backplane or midplane.

Filed: 1997-05-02
Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing molten iron by using a calcination furnace (20), and a manufacturing method therefor are disclosed. A high temperature reducing gas (1000 to 1100 ~C) from a melter gasifier (5) is used as a calcination heat in a calcination furnace (20) so as to cool the high temperature reducing gas to the optimum reduction temperature (800 to 850 ~C), and so as to supply the cooled reducing gas to a shaft furnace (2), whereby the manufacture of the molten iron can be efficiently carried out, and a high thermal efficiency is realized even without a separate gas cooling device (11). Therefore, a separate cooling device (11) for cooling the hot reducing gas of the melter gasifier (5) is not required. Further, the hot reducing gas is naturally cooled at the calcination furnace (20), and therefore, the thermal efficiency of the hot reducing gas of the melter gasifier (5) is maximized. Further, a separate water-using cooler (11) and a separate compressor (12) are omitted, and therefore, the molten iron manufacturing facility is simplified.

Title: Ultrasonic device for inspection of metal parts
Inventor: WHITE DENNIS A
IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer is used for inspecting a Yankee dryer and detecting flaws in a portion of the surface of the dryer by directing the ultrasonic beam at the surface to be inspected at a particular angle, for which about ten percent of the signal will appear as Harris waves which propagate into the test plate at ninety degrees to the surface. This signal which propagates vertically is polarized, with the result that the signal has a greatly improved signal to noise ratio. For an incident medium of water and employing shear wave refracting in the medium of cast iron the specific angle is approximately 33 degrees from the vertical for best signal to noise ratio. For steel and specific angle is approximately 31 degrees and is about 50 degrees for brass. Shear or longitudinal waves can be employed to affect the detection of subsurface defects with the particular angle changing depending on the relation of the velocity of the sound waves in the refracting medium to the velocity of sound waves in the incident medium.

Title: Motion vector predictive encoding method, motion vector decoding method,predictive encoding apparatus and decoding apparatus, and storage media storing motion vector predictive encoding and decoding programs
Inventor: TAKAMURA SEISHI
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: A motion vector predictive encoding method, a motion vector decoding method, a predictive encoding apparatus, a decoding apparatuses, and storage media storing motion vector predictive encoding and decoding programs are provided, thereby reducing the amount of generated code with respect to the motion vector, and improving the efficiency of the motion-vector prediction. If the motion-compensating mode of the target small block to be encoded is the global motion compensation, the encoding mode of already-encoded small blocks is the interframe coding mode, and if the motion-compensating mode of the already-encoded small blocks is the global motion compensation, then the motion vector of the translational motion model is determined for each pixel of the already-encoded small blocks, based on the global motion vector (steps S1-S5). Next, the representative motion vector is calculated as the predicted vector, based on the motion vector of each pixel of the already-encoded small blocks (step S6). Finally, the prediction error is calculated for each component of the motion vector and each prediction error is encoded (steps S7 and S8).

Abstract: An Al x Ga1-x As/GaAs/Al G x a As1-x quantum well (308, 406, 408) exhibiting a bound-to-quasibound intersubband absorptive transition is described. The bound-to-quasibound transition exists when the first excited state has the same energy as the "top" (i.e., the upper-most energy barrier) of the quantum well (308, 406, 408). The energy barrier for thermionic emission (ET) is thus equal to the energy required for intersubband absorption (EP). Increasing the energy barrier in this way reduces dark current. The amount of photocurrent generated by the quantum well (308, 406, 408) is maintained at a high level.
