Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the execution of image processing operations carried out on an array of image signals, the specific operations having been identified by a plurality of predefined windows. The windows are divided into a plurality of regions, the boundaries of which correspond to transitions from one window region to another. Each region defines an exclusive region within the array of image signals, and the image processing operations to be applied to the signals within the boundaries of that region. The image processing operations are selected by decoding an effect data word that is assigned to each pixel and which follows the pixel along the image processing path. The bits within the effect data word are not assigned individual significance which allows the effect data word, in most cases, to maintain the same bit length even though additional image processing procedures or modules have been added to the image processing path. The apparatus is designed to efficiently manage the identification of regions while minimizing the bit length of the effect data word used to identify the image processing steps. The apparatus also provides flexibility of architecture design resulting in more efficient expansion of functions and easier modifications to existing functions.

Abstract: The explosion attenuating vent cap for storage batteries according to the present invention features an electrolyte drain and baffle design adapted for maximizing return to the battery of any liquid which may enter the vent from vibration, tilting, overheating, overcharge and the like. The vent barrel(s) (50) include a step (150) to assist in closure of the fill openings, and baffles (80, 82, 84, 104 106, 108) within the vent prevent accumulation of electrolyte within the cap. The arrangement of the entrance (140) to the gas escape passage (leading through an explosion attenuation device (120) such as a disc of microporous polymer) is located on the center lines of the barrel and at the highest possible location within the vent to minimize the intrusion of electrolyte into the attenuation material. This location of the entrance prevents accumulation of electrolyte at that location. Preferably, the vent cap is of the ganged variety, i.e. useful for simultaneously capping three or more fill openings of the battery.

Abstract: The apparatus and method of the present invention provide even and repeatable heat transfer to and from essentially the entire substrate used in semiconductor processing. In particular, the support platform upon which the substrate sets during processing is designed to permit heat transfer to the very edge of the substrate so that substrate space unavailable for processing is minimized. 
     The support platform comprises a substrate-facing surface 211 including at least one fluid supply source 214; a continuous, platform-based fluid flow barrier 212; and at least one opening 234 through substrate-facing surface 211 through which a substrate lift finger 221 can be operated. Fluid flow barrier 212 contacts the back side (non-processed side) of the substrate at a location very near the exterior edge of the substrate. 
     To prevent heat transfer fluid from flowing downward through the lift finger openings 234, a lift finger sealing cover 222 is employed. Sealing cover 222 is preferably self-aligning, to ensure formation of a continuous lift finger fluid flow barrier 228 surrounding lift finger opening 234.

Abstract: Intersecting quantum wells form a T-shaped structure. Quantum bound states exist due to the spreading out of the wave function in the T-junction region. The confined state leads to formation of a quantum wire in which one-dimensional carrier behavior extends along a wire-like region defined by the intersecting planes of the two wells. By embedding such a region in a T-shaped optical waveguide, a quantum wire laser characterized by low-threshold stimulated emission in the one-dimensional quantum limit is provided.

Abstract: On fait réagir un premier métal, un alcool et un acide carboxylique, de façon à obtenir un alcoxycarboxylate de métal qu'on fait ensuite réagir avec un alcoxyde et/ou un carboxylate d'un deuxième métal, afin d'obtenir un précurseur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on combine et on réchauffe un carboxylate de métal et un alcoxyde de métal, de façon à obtenir un précurseur. Dans les deux modes de réalisation, le précurseur comprend la totalité ou la plupart des liaisons métal-oxygène-métal de l'oxyde de métal souhaité et un ligand de carboxylate. On applique le précurseur à un substrat (18, 38, 47, 75), on le sèche et on le recuit pour obtenir l'oxyde de métal (12, 30, 48, 60), tel que BST. Les liaisons métal-oxygène-métal du précurseur permettent d'obtenir l'oxyde de métal souhaité (12, 30, 48, 60) à partir du précurseur en une seule étape, ce qui constitue d'excellents films minces appropriés pour des circuits intégrés. Le ligand de carboxylate confère de la stabilité au précurseur, ce qui permet de le conserver en stock sur des périodes telles qu'elles sont habituellement pratiquées dans la fabrication à grande échelle.

Abstract: Es sind bereits Vorrichtungen zur Einspritzung eines Brennstoff-Gas-Gemisches mit einem Gasumfassungskörper bekannt, die das stromabwärtige Ende des Einspritzventils teilweise radial und axial umgeben. Weiterhin sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen von Strahlteilern bzw. Ablenkflächen bekannt, an denen abgespritzter Brennstoff ohne die Zufuhr eines Gases abgelenkt wird. Die neue Vorrichtung besitzt demgegenüber einen Strahlteiler (86) mit einer der Spritzlochscheibe (21) zugewandten konvexen Teilerfläche (88). Der konvexe Strahlteiler (86) wirkt als Strömungswiderstand, wodurch eine Stauströmung verursacht wird. Die Stauströmung ist verantwortlich für die trotz Gasumfassung aufrechterhaltene Mehrstrahligkeit auch stromabwärts des Strahlteilers (86) und die gute Aufbereitungswirkung der Gasumfassung durch eine verbesserte Durchmischung von Gas und Brennstoff. Die vorgeschlagene Vorrichtung zur Einspritzung eines Brennstoff-Gas-Gemisches eignet sich besonders für die Einspritzung in das Saugrohr einer gemischverdichtenden, fremdgezündeten Brennkraftmaschine.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite yarn and composite yarn produced thereby in which a spandex yarn is fed to an air entangling or covering jet while being pre-elongated. Simultaneously, a multifilament partially oriented thermoplastic yarn is fed to the yarn entangling or covering jet while being partially or completely drawn to orient further or completely the thermoplastic yarn. The thermoplastic and spandex yarns are fed through the yarn jet while the filaments of the thermoplastic yarn are entangled to produce a composite yarn with the spandex yarn as the core and the thermoplastic yarn as a covering therefor. The composite yarn is then fed through a false twister and false twisted with the false twist being heat set in the thermoplastic yarn at a temperature which does not adversely affect the spandex core to produce an air entangled false twist texturized composite yarn. If not completely oriented when false twisted, the thermoplastic yarn is further drawn to complete its orientation while being false twisted.
