Abstract: In an image signal coding and decoding method in which feature points in an image signal are detected and information concerned with sets of continuous feature points is chain-coded, the quantity of information is reduced without deterioration of image quality. In the image signal coding and decoding method, components of a direction displacement between the direction of transition from a feature point two feature points before a current feature point to a preceding feature point and the direction of transition from the preceding feature point to the current feature point are detected and subjected to entropy coding. By this method, coding can be performed which uses stochastic correlation between the direction of transition from the feature point two feature points before the current feature point to the preceding feature point and the direction of transition from the preceding feature point to the current feature, so that the number of direction codes expressing the positions of respective feature points can be reduced, and therefore the quantity of information can be reduced.

Abstract: A spread spectrum reception apparatus generates a local reference code and a timing signal having 1/2 the period of the reference code are generated. Correlation calculation between a received spread spectrum signal and the local reference code is performed. Upon reception of the correlation calculation result, a peak detector detects a correlation peak signal. The rate of a code generation clock is adjusted in accordance with the phase difference between the timing signal and the correlation peak signal to perform de-spread processing of the received signal.

Abstract: A system (10) for scanning semiconductor wafers through an ion beam (14A). Ion beam line (14) generates an ion beam oriented in a prearranged direction. A scan wheel (15) carries a plurality of semiconductor wafers and a drive arrangement (22, 23) rotates the scan wheel about its central axis to scan the wafers across the ion beam in one coordinate direction. A scan arrangement (18, 19) produces relative scanning movement between the scan wheel and the ion beam in another coordinate direction. The scan wheel assembly (15) comprises a central hub (32), a plurality of separate spoke arms (31) mounted to the hub, and a plurality of heat sink elements (15A) formed on the outer ends of the spoke arms for mounting a semiconductor wafer thereon. The scan arrangement (18, 19) overscans the heat sink elements in and out of the ion beam so that the ion beam strikes only a portion of the spoke arms in one overscan position and the total heat load produced on the scan wheel assembly by the ion beam is susbstantially reduced. Temporary wafer clamps (49) and restraints (48) hold the wafer (80) on the heat sink until centrifugal force due to wheel spinning is sufficient to press the wafer on the heat sink. Congruent triangle mounting and drive arrangements for the scan wheel provide the l/r velocity function for slow scan to achieve implant uniformity.

Abstract: An electrophotographic printer includes a photoreceptor on a drum or belt, a laser beam that is reciprocally scanned thereacross, a beam detect signal circuit for generating a beam detect signal and an asynchronous clock oscillator for generating clock pulses. The printer also includes circuitry for generating a plurality of clock signals that are phase synchronized with the beam detect signal. The circuitry includes a tapped delay line (10) for receiving the asynchronous clock pulses, each tap outputting a delayed clock pulse train. A register/selector (12,14,20,22) circuit is coupled to the taps and is responsive to a transition of the beam detect signal for determining a tap which outputs a 0° phase clock transition that is closely proximate to the beam detect signal. Phase delay logic (42) provides signals indicative of which taps of the delay line circuit (10) manifest clock pulse trains that are closest in time to leading and lagging edges of a 0° phase clock pulse, respectively. The phase delay logic circuit (42) further determines taps of the delay line circuit (10) that are intermediate the aforesaid taps and which of those taps should be utilized to provide delayed clock signals of a fractional phase. Signals from the selected taps are thereafter switched to output circuits.

Abstract: A non-fault-only (NFO) bit is included in the translation table entry for each page. If the NFO bit is set, non-faulting loads accessing the page will cause translations to occur. Any other access to the non-fault-only page is an error, and will cause the processor to fault. A non-faulting load behaves like a normal load except that it never produces a fault even when applied to a page with the NFO bit set. The NFO bit in a translation table entry marks a page that is mapped for safe access by non-faulting loads, but can still cause a fault by other, normal accesses. The NFO bit indicates which pages are illegal. Selected pages, such as the virtual page 0x0, can be mapped in the translation table. Whenever a null-pointer is dereferenced by a non-faulting load, a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) hit will occur, and zero will be returned immediately without trapping to software to find the requested page. A second embodiment provides that when the operating system software routine invoked by a TLB miss discovers that a non-faulting load has attempted to access an illegal virtual page that was not previously translated in the translation table, the operating system creates a translation table entry for that virtual page mapping it to a physical page of all zeros and asserting the NFO bit for that virtual page.

Abstract: A process for producing an activated carbon fiber molding is disclosed which comprises spinning an isotropic pitch to thereby obtain pitch fibers, infusibilizing the pitch fibers to thereby obtain infusibilized fibers, heating the infusibilized fibers under a mechanical load to thereby obtain a molding and activating the molding. In this process, the infusibilized fibers and/or infusibilized fibers molding may be heated in an inert atmosphere so as to effect a light carbonization thereof and thereafter subjected to the subsequent step of the process. The pitch-based porous activated carbon fiber molding obtained by this process has a strikingly high bulk density and can sufficiently exhibit the specific properties of the activated carbon fiber, e.g. a large specific surface area, to thereby have a high adsorption efficiency.
