Abstract: A liquid crystal display device of the present
invention includes a liquid crystal display element
composed of a pair of transparent substrates, each
provided with a transparent electrode layer and an
alignment layer on a surface facing the other
substrate, and a liquid crystal layer enclosed
therebetween, a pair of polarizers provided on both
sides of the liquid crystal display element, and at
least one optical phase difference plate having
inclined refractive index ellipsoid, positioned
between the liquid crystal display element and the
pair of polarizers, wherein the alignment layer aligns
in different directions divided liquid crystal layers
which have been prepared by dividing the liquid
crystal layer at different ratios with respect to each
pixel, and the liquid crystal layer made of a liquid
crystal material whose change in refractive index
anisotropy Δn in accordance with a wavelength of light
is set in a range which does not allow viewing-angle-dependant
coloration to generate on a liquid crystal
screen. This (1) eliminates a phase difference
generated in the liquid crystal display element in
accordance with viewing angles and (2) effectively
prevents a coloration phenomenon on the liquid crystal
screen.

least one satellite (12); a system controller (38); a
plurality of gateways (18); and at least one user terminal
(13) operable for bidirectionally communicating with at
least one of the gateways through the at least one

terminal, through at least one satellite, and are further
operable for notifying the requesting user terminal, through
at least one satellite, that the user terminal is one of
accepted by the gateway for establishing a communication
link and not accepted by the gateway for establishing the
communication link. A gateway that does not accept a user
terminal can indicate to the user terminal, based at least
in part on a determined location of the user terminal, an
identification of a gateway to which the user terminal
should apply for access or log-in purposes. The system
further includes a data network (39) that interconnects the
system controller and the plurality of gateways. The data
network may be conveyed by and embodied in one of a wired
network, a wireless network, and a combination of a wired
network and a wireless network.

Title: Method and system for executing  operations on denormalised numbers
Inventor: SCHWARZ ERIC MARK
IPC: G06F5/01
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: A method and system for processing instructions in a floating point
unit for executing denormalized numbers in floating point pipeline via
serializing uses an instruction unit and having a control unit and a
pipelined data flow unit, a shifter and a rounding unit. The floating
point unit has an external feedback path for providing intermediate
result data from said rounding unit to an input of the pipelined data
flow unit to reuse the pipeline for denormalization by passing
intermediate results in the pipeline which have a denormalized condition
computed after the exponent calculation of the shifting circuit directly
from the rounding unit to the top of the dataflow in the pipeline via an
external feedback path. The pipelined has two paths which are selected
based on the presence of other instructions in the pipeline. If no other
instructions are in the pipeline a first path is taken which uses the
external feedback path from the rounding unit back into the top of the
dataflow. When there are instructions in the pipeline a shifter unit
performing normalization of the fraction indicates possible underflow of
the exponent, and prepares to hold the exponent and the fraction in a
floating point data flow register; and upon detection of exponent
underflow during the rounder stage and detection of any other
instructions in pipeline; then the control unit forces an interrupt for
serialization, and cancels execution of this instruction and other
instructions in pipeline.

Abstract: A characteristic point detection circuit detects a
characteristic point from a base band video signal and generates
a characteristic point file. A compressed video signal
received from the digital satellite broadcast is supplied to
a multiplexing circuit as it is in the form of a bit stream.
The multiplexing circuit multiplexes the compressed video
signal and characteristic point file. A control circuit
obtains the characteristic point file from an optical disc
during reproduction, and controls reproduction of the
compressed video signal. As described herein above, the
supplied compressed video signal is recorded in a recording
medium without deterioration of the image quality, and the
recorded video signal accepts random access.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the design of high speed and high gain operational amplifiers for use in for example high performance switched-capacitor analog circuits. Increasing the gain without suffering the speed may be achieved by designing the amplifier as a single-stage operational transconductance amplifier with single cascode for the N-type transistors (M8, M9) and double cascode for P-type transistors (M4, M5 and M10, M11). The invention may also comprise a continuous-time common-mode feedback. With this design of the invention, high speed and high gain can be maintained with a large phase margin to guarantee the stability.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention utilizes two
different inks that are mixed with each other to express an
achromatic color, in order to reduce the degree of granularity
while decreasing the total quantity of inks. The black ink used
in the present invention to create dots of black color is mixing
black ink (Bk) that contains magenta and yellow dyes as well as
a black dye, such as Food black, and thereby has a less quantity
of the black dye. In order to express black color, dots of the
mixing black ink (Bk) are mixed with dots of cyan ink (C), which
compensates for a certain hue that is insufficient in a black
color expressed by the mixing black ink (Bk). The mixing black
ink (Bk) has higher lightness than a conventional real black ink
and thereby reduces the degree of granularity in a resulting
printed image. This arrangement of the invention enables
creation of dots with the mixing black ink (Bk) to start from
a lower density area, thereby reducing a total quantity of the
respective color inks used for printing, which has a sufficient
margin to a predetermined ink duty of paper.

Abstract: A solder placement device (10) forms a selected length of a solder
wire (14) to be used in mounting an optical fiber (20) to a substrate 116 so
that the optical fiber (2)) and a laser diode (22) may be optically coupled
together. The solder placement device (10) includes casing (16) that
contains a plunger (24) arranged for reciprocal movement along an axis in
the casing (16). A solder input tube (30) guides solder (14) from a supply
spool (12) to a leaf spring retainer (42) inside the casing (16). The leaf
spring retainer (42) is mounted to the plunger (24) and arranged to allow
unidirectional movement of the solder wire (14) along the axis such that
movement of the plunger (24) toward the output end of the apparatus (10)
pulls the solder wire (14) along with the plunger (24). When the direction
of the plunger (24) reverses, the leaf spring retainer (42) slides along the
solder wire (14), and the apparatus (10) resets to pull in another segment of
the solder wire (14). A cutting mechanism (86) is actuated by movement of
the plunger (24) along the axis to cut off a piece (18) of solder of the
selected length. An output tube (87) is mounted to the casing (16)
adjacent the cutting mechanism (86). The output tube (87) is arranged to
receive the cut off piece (18) of solder wire (14) so that compressed air
blows it out through an end 110 of the output tube (87).
