Abstract: Customized screens are generated in accordance with the invention for interfacing with an application program in an information processing system. During a panel definition phase when a panel designer creates a customized panel, panel actions are selected from a default list of panel operations and commands, including searching, adding, changing or deleting data from a database, showing long fields, blanking out a panel, displaying a prior panel, and printing. The actions are specified in a pop-up window during panel definition. Mnemonics and function keys may be specified for each action. The invention dynamically creates pull-down windows based on the actions specified which become part of the panel interface available to the run time user from an application action bar. Users may select actions to interact with the panel in like manner to interaction with other portions of the application user interface by means of cursor selection, input of the action number, mnemonics, or activation of a function key. Also during panel design a custom word or phrase for the panel action may be specified for subsequent display in the pull-down windows during run time. A mode such as Add data or Change data is specified for each selected panel action item during panel definition. During panel run time, and after selection of an execution mode, panel actions pull-down windows previously thereby designed may be displayed. A list of only those panel actions previously selected in the panel actions design pop-up window corresponding to the execution mode selected appears.

Abstract: An automatic quilting machine for use in stitching individual selected patterns into a large fabric such as a bedspread or quilt. The bedspread or quilt is stretched on a large metal frame which is mounted on a table which can be moved in the X-direction, the Y-direction, or any X-Y combination direction through an automatic joystick. The sewing machine head is mounted on a cross beam which is aligned at the approximate center point of the metal frame on which the fabric is stretched. The needle of the sewing machine head can stitch a pattern into any location in the fabric and the metal frame is moved in any direction relative to the fixed sewing machine head in order to bring the desired stitch location on the fabric into alignment with the sewing machine head. The precise location of the sewing machine needle and fabric is illuminated and a color video camera which is mounted on the cross beam holding the sewing machine head is also focused on this location. The color video camera is connected to a television monitor so that a visual image of the sewing machine needle and fabric as a stitch is being made can be delivered to the monitor. A machine operator can control the movement of the metal frame through positioning by a remote joystick and can see the stitch being made by viewing the monitor. The apparatus also includes a reprogrammable function integrated into the system wherein the operator first manually traces the desired pattern using the  existing joystick system. At the end of this step, the traced pattern is stored into the memory of a computer as a digitalized image of the pattern. The computer can then cause the pattern to be subsequently repeated at any multiplicity of desired locations.

Abstract: A high resolution gamma-gamma apparatus is provided with a chemical source and a photon .detector in such close proximity such that the detector provides a positive response to an increase in formation density. Typically, such a response is obtained when the detector opening is within one source photon mean free path of the source opening. For a Cs 137 source, the furthest spacing would be about two inches, although spacings of less than one inch are preferable. In order to decrease background noise, shielding is placed between the source and detector. A first embodiment of the tool has an uncollimated source, and a substantially uncollimated detector with the source and detector being coaxial and with the detector behind the source and separated by shielding. A second embodiment has a collimated source with an uncollimated detector, while a third embodiment has an uncollimated source with a collimated detector. The provided apparatus are useful for high resolution density and Pe measurements. Additional axially spaced negative response detectors may be included to provide additional information which are useful in correcting for environmental effects. Also, circumferentially spaced detectors along with additional sources are useful in conducting dip analysis.

Abstract: A remote gas measuring apparatus and method utilizes the optical absorption line characteristics to determine an amount of gas of interest as may exist in an area under study. The remote gas measuring apparatus includes a source of electromagnetic radiation (12) that can be projected toward the area in question and a light collecting arrangement (14). The light signal received is coupled to a fast light switch modulator (10) which modulates the light signal to a first frequency. A second modulating arrangement (40) modulates the light signal to a second frequency and includes a birefringent etalon device (42) having a periodic spacing equal to the periodicity of the absorption lines of the gas of interest. The second modulating means is further effective such that, when an electric field (48) is applied thereto the transmission spectra associated with the light signal is shifted between spectra which coincide with the absorption lines and spectra which fall between the absorption lines. The light signal from the etalon device is then conditioned and input to a detector configuration (56) which distinguishes between the light signal at the first frequency and the light signal at the second frequency in order to determine at least a quantity of the gas of interest.

Abstract: There is provided an output apparatus in which an output resolution can be changed and a memory medium including character information of printing dot patterns is detachable. The memory medium has holding means for storing and holding output density information of dot patterns of characters stored in the memory medium. The apparatus comprises: reading means for reading out the output density information from the memory medium; and changing means for changing the output resolution on the basis of the output density which was read out by the reading means. When the output density information which was read out by the reading means differs from the printing resolution of the apparatus itself in the reading mode, the character information of the dot pattern in the memory medium is not used. With the apparatus, even if the number of dots constructing a character was changed, the character pattern can be automatically output at the optimum output resolution.

Abstract: An optical tape including an optical recording layer for permitting information to be optically recorded thereon and a light-reflective magnetic layer. The light-reflective magnetic layer which reflects light projected onto the recording layer, also permits magnetic recording or magneto-optical recording to be performed thereon, thereby increasing a storage capacity of the optical tape remarkably. Further, the optical tape is provided with a layer to form guiding grooves for tracking control. The layer to form guiding grooves is made up of ultraviolet-hardening resin, photo-resist, or a photochromic material. For example, in the case of using ultraviolet-hardening resin, after a guiding groove pattern has been exposed by projecting an ultraviolet ray on a layer made up of ultraviolet-hardening resin, the exposed areas harden to form areas corresponding to guiding grooves between those exposed areas. The guiding grooves are formed by-removing the areas corresponding to guiding grooves from the layer made up of the ultraviolet-hardening resin. Additionally, along with a guiding groove pattern, an index pattern can also be exposed. The guiding grooves thus formed do not reduce the recording density for information of the optical tape.

Abstract: A data processing system having a pair of mirrored storage units (121, 131) maintains a state record of the mirrored pair in system memory (103). In order to be able to determine state when the system is re-initialized, this state information is also stored on each storage unit of the mirrored pair, and in an alternate location (104). When the state changes, the operating system writes the new state to those storage units which are still functioning, and to the alternate location. In order to prevent ambiguous situations, only certain defined state transitions are permitted. When the system is re-initialized, it attempts to read the state information stored on the storage units. If either unit can not be read, the system substitutes the state retrieved from the alternate state record for the state that would have been read from the non-responding unit. This pair of states from the two units index an unique entry in a state derivation table containing the resultant state.
