Abstract: A control for multiple circuit illumination lamp panels (16) includes a group of electroluminescent panel segments (32,34,36,38,40,42) including a first set of electroluminescent panel segments (34,36,40) unique to a function mode and at least one second set of electroluminescent segments (32,38,42) associated with at least one common indicia for at least two functional modes in combining first and second sets related to a functional to form a mode group. The sum of the areas of each mode group is then equalised to provide consistent illumination intensity and colouring regardless of the functional mode selected for the radio. Sizing of the segments can be provided by enhancing conductive areas aligned with, adjacent to or remote from the conductive areas aligned with indicia (20) on the bezel (18) and on the actuators on the bezel. The balancing of illumination intensity can also be incorporated in multiple electroluminescent panels so that a single switching power supply can be utilised with several audio system bezel designs having different functional modes.

Abstract: An adaptive Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter is provided that can adaptively detect the presence of one or more tones in its input stream. The tones to be detected may be of arbitrary frequency, subject only to a limitation that such tones fall within a frequency band consistent with accepted sampling principles ( e.g. , a maximum frequency of interest no greater than one-half the sampling frequency -- Nyquist sampling criteria). An IIR filter developed according to the method of the invention will adaptively locate the frequencies of tones to be detected, thereby allowing for frequency drift from nominal expected frequency values with no loss in accuracy. Such a filter will also process the input signal sample-by-sample, thereby avoiding the blocking problem of FFT-based filter approaches. With the filter of the invention, an application can identify the frequencies, associated power levels, SNR and duration of the tones. Thus, such an application can use a simple user specified library of tone parameters to decide if tones of interest are present in the input stream.

Abstract: When a photodiode receives light, it produces a charge corresponding to the intensity of light, and outputs it as a current signal. The current signal is input to an integral circuit constituted by a feedback capacitive element and a charge amplifier, and is integrated by time. On the other hand, a step charge generator generates a charge corresponding to one of reference voltage levels +Vref and -Vref in response to first and second clock signals CLK1 and CLK2, and supplies the charge to the feedback capacitive element in synchronism with the clock signal. The integral circuit executes an integral operation by accumulating the charge produced by the photodiode, and supplies a step charge, thus executing ΣΔ modulation. An AD conversion result is obtained from the ΣΔ modulation result. In this manner, high-precision digital data is output in correspondence with the intensity of light by the photodiode with a simple circuit arrangement.

Abstract: A system and method for processing image data converts a pixel (V i ) of image data having a first resolution to subpixels, the subpixels representing a second resolution, the second resolution being higher than the first resolution. The subpixels are thresholded to generate a group of subpixel values for each pixel and a threshold error value (E rr ). It is then determined if the group of subpixel values from the thresholding process produce a pattern containing an isolated subpixel. If the group of subpixel values from the thresholding process produce a pattern containing an isolated subpixel, the group of subpixel vales is modified to produce a pattern (Binary Output) without an isolated subpixel. The modification process produces a subpixel error value which is diffused in the slowscan direction to adjacent pixels.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des nouvelles compositions de fluides hydrosolubles d'usinage de métaux, leur utilisation dans l'usinage du métal, un procédé d'usinage de métal à l'aide de ces compositions et l'objet fabriqué métallique usiné. Plus particulièrement, cette invention concerne des compositions de fluides utiles dans la coupe, le meulage, le façonnage et d'autres opérations d'usinage de métaux nécessitant un lubrifiant. Les termes 'premier groupe A' et 'second groupe B' sont utilisés ici pour distinguer différents groupes et non pour indiquer une séquence d'utilisation ou une sélection, étant donné que n'importe qu'elle combinaison ou séquence possible d'utilisation d'un ou de plusieurs constituants est envisagée sans limite d'aucun type. Les compositions de fluides décrites sont également anti-corrosives et plus acceptables d'un point de vue écologique que les fluides actuels à base d'huile. On a découvert, aujourd'hui, un fluide d'usinage de métaux hydrosoluble essentiellement sans odeur, sensiblement sans vapeur d'huile, comprenant au moins un constituant choisi dans un premier groupe A et facultativement un ou plusieurs constituants choisis dans un second groupe B, le solde de la composition étant de préférence de l'eau ou d'autres ingrédients mineurs (facultatifs). Lorsqu'on utilise un constituant du groupe A et un constituant du groupe B, l'action de cette combinaison améliore, d'une manière générale, le rendement de la combinaison obtenue, laquelle contient des fractions à la fois du groupe A et du groupe B.

Abstract: A method for halftoning an image to be rendered onto a media
sheet includes the steps of: classifying data portions of a received data stream
into one of plural image types, each image type to be subjected to a particular
halftone procedure; assigning to each data portion of a common image type, a
common identifier and then converting the data portions into a raster
representation; subjecting segments of the raster representation to individualized
halftone procedures, each segment of the raster representation that is assigned a
common identifier being subjected to an identical halftone procedure; and
rendering the raster representation onto a media sheet, subsequent to the
halftone process. The apparatus for performing the halftone method places the
halftone operation subsequent to the rasterization operation and thereby avoids
anomalies which occurred in the prior art. Further, the apparatus enables
halftone tables which are utilized during the halftone procedure to be altered so
as to enable improvements to the halftone method.
