Abstract: An ultrasonic system and method for imaging a surface wherein a C-mode ultrasonic scan is performed over a fixed area of the surface and range gating is applied to that area to a given depth below the surface. For use of the system and method in fingerprint imaging, a live finger is placed upon a sensitive surface, the portion of the finger on the surface is scanned using the ultrasonic energy, and ultrasonic energy returned from the finger portion is received to capture an electronic image of the pattern of ridges and valleys of the fingerprint. The ultrasonic imaging system comprises a probe for providing a directed output ultrasonic beam to scan the surface and to receive ultrasonic echos from the surface, a pulser-receiver to cause the probe to provide the output beam and to provide signals in response to the returned ultrasonic echos, a signal processing circuit for detecting and processing return echo signals from the pulser-receiver and a computer for storing and displaying information contained in signals from the processing circuit and for controlling operation of the processing circuit. The probe scans the surface along one direction, and then along another direction, the two directions preferably being orthogonal.

Abstract: A floating point processor for performing arithmetic operations on floating point numbers includes a first arithmetic operation unit configured to operate on normalized numbers and a second arithmetic operation unit which includes a denormalizer for denormalizing normalized numbers and a normalizer for normalizing denormalized numbers. Each arithmetic operation unit has first and second inputs for receiving first and second operands, respectively, and an output for transmitting a result of the arithmetic operation. When an denormalized operand is presented as an input to the arithmetic operation unit configured to operate on normalized numbers, the denormalized input operand is redirected through the second arithmetic unit for normalization of the denormalized operand. The first arithmetic operation unit then performs its arithmetic operation using the normalized input operands. The result of the arithmetic operation is then analysed to determine whether it has a zero or negative exponent. If the result has a zero or negative exponent, the result is directed through the second arithmetic unit a second time so that the result is denormalized. The denormalized result is then output.

The fastener (78,80) and the garment attachment panels (14,16) are dimensioned so that, when fastened, the garment attachment panels (14,16) exert a pull on the raised side edges (50,52) and control their deflection, thereby preventing them from folding in over the absorbent (18). The garment attachment panels (14,16) confine the crotch portion of the undergarment under the absorbent (18) so that the elasticized edges of the panty crotch are prevented from pulling up and onto the absorbent (18). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating, supporting and using a travelling program is disclosed. A "travelling program" is a digital data structure which includes a sequence of instructions and associated data and which has the capability of determining at least one next destination or recipient for receiving the travelling program and for transmitting itself together with all relevant data determined by the program to the next recipient or destination. The travelling program can compute, according to any algorithm whatsoever, the digital material which is to be signed, and also, as needed, the digital material which is to be verified. The present invention also allows the program to conditionally decide, based on any known criteria, which users should participate in the signature process. The present invention also uses digital signatures to allow the travelling program to provide other types of valuable authentication. For example, as a security convenience the present invention allows for the digital signature authentication of the entire transmission from one user to another. This includes the travelling program itself, its variables, and any ancillary data or files. The present invention provides a unique mechanism for automating data collection among a group of users. The travelling program may be sent to one user, attach (or detach) relevant data files and move on to the next user. Data or files, collected from one or more users can be deposited with another user, or accumulated for batched processing as desired. This methodology eliminates the need for individual users to be counted on to transmit all the required data in the required format. The present invention also efficiently performs electronic document interchange (EDI) in the context of a travelling program which sends itself from user to the next within an organization, collecting, editing and approving data. <IMAGE>
