Abstract: A method for adjusting the lightness/darkness of a binary halftone image
includes receiving digital image data defining a binary halftone image in terms of
a plurality of light pixels having a first value and a plurality of dark pixels having
a second value. If the binary halftone image is to be lightened, the first value for
each light pixel is moved in a direction away from the second value by a select
amount so that it lies outside of the valid dynamic range. If the binary halftone
image is to be darkened, the second value for each dark pixel is moved in a
direction away from the first value by a select amount so that it lies outside of the
valid dynamic range. Error diffusion is then performed on the binary halftone
image to move all pixel values into the dynamic range. In the case of lightening
the image, the error diffusion operation converts some dark pixels to light pixels.
In the case of darkening the image, the error diffusion operation converts some
light pixels to dark pixels. Propagated error in the error diffusion operation is
limited by a preset amount.

Abstract: This invention relates to the field of recombinant DNA technology. The present
invention relates to the isolation of a DNA regulatory region, able to lead the
expression of heterologous proteins in  Pichia pastoris . 
In one of its aspects the invention is related to the isolation of a DNA fragment that
contains the isocitrate lyase encoding gene (referred here as  ICL ) from the yeast  Pichia
pastoris . In another aspects, this invention describes the use of a fragment derived from
the described gene, which lead the expression of a foreign gene, when both are
incorporated in a DNA vector and introduced in the host yeast  Pichia pastoris.  In this
way the protein of interest is efficiently produced using this DNA fragment. 
     In the yeast  Pichia pastoris  the expression of this gene is regulated in response to
environmental conditions, such as the growth medium composition. The  ICL  expression
is repressed when a carbon source like glucose is used, and induced when the carbon
source present in the medium is ethanol or when the glucose is absent. 
An additional aspect, we have also isolated a DNA fragment consisting
essentially of the  Pichia pastoris ICL  3' transcription termination sequence.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, an optical waveguide grating with an
adjustable optical spacing profile comprises a waveguide grating in thermal contact
with one or more resistive film coatings. A coating extends along the length of the
grating and its local resistance varies along the length of the grating. In one
embodiment, a plurality of overlaping coatings are chosen so the resistance variation of
each is different, thereby permitting a variety of heat generation profiles to be effected
by independent control of the coatings. The different heat generation profiles, in turn,
proportionately change the grating geometric spacing and local refractive index along
the grating length, providing the desired adjustable optical spacing profile. Other
embodiments use resistive films with abruptly changing or periodically changing
heating variation.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a pulse generator for generating a pulse of a
predetermined duration. A first switch, controlled by the pulse, drives current into a fuse link
when the pulse takes on a first logic level. The first switch prevents flow of current into the fuse
link when the pulse takes on a second logic level. A latch is coupled to the fuse link to sense a
logic level developed during the pulse. The latch may be cleared by the leading edge of the pulse.
The logic level developed at the fuse link due to the driven current is latched into the latch by the
trailing edge of the pulse and is indicative of whether the fuse link was blown or not blown.

Abstract: In a system for rendering 3D graphics, an efficient texturing pipeline
arrangement (Fig. 8) achieves a relatively low chip-footprint by utilizing a single
texture coordinate/data processing unit (Fig. 14) that interleaves the processing of
logical direct (7006) and indirect (7004) texture coordinate data. A texture lookup
data feedback path (7018) is provided for "recirculating" indirect texture lookup
data retrieved from a single texture retrieval unit (7012) back to the texture
coordinate/data processing unit (7002-7014). Versatile indirect texture referencing
is achieved by using the same texture coordinate/data processing unit to transform
the recirculated texture lookup data into offsets that may be added to the texture
coordinates of a direct texture lookup. A generalized indirect texture API function
is provided that supports defining at least four indirect texture referencing
operations and allows for selectively associating one of at least eight different
texture images with each indirect texture defined. Retrieved indirect texture
lookup data is processed as multi-bit binary data triplets of three, four, five, or
eight bits. The data triplets are multiplied by a 3 X 2 texture coordinate offset
matrix before being optionally combined with regular non-indirect coordinate data
or coordinate data from a previous cycle/stage of processing. Values of the offset
matrix elements are variable and may be dynamically defined for each cycle/stage
using selected constants. Two additional variable matrix configurations are also
defined containing element values obtained from current direct texture coordinates.
Circuitry for optionally biasing and scaling retrieved texture data is also provided.

IPC: H04L1/00

Abstract: Training signals can be chosen based on stored prior connection information
to reduce the use of extra tones in transmitted training signals and thereby improve
receiver performance. By choosing training signals based on the stored prior
connection information, it is possible to make the training signals indirectly a function
of the loop impairments. One advantage of this scheme is that we can choose to omit
certain tones in the training signals, based on previous connection information, on a
loop-by-loop basis. For example, in an ADSL Transceiver Unit-Central office end
(ATU-C) device, per-local-loop prior connection information may be employed to
select DMT tones to be included in downstream training signals. Similarly, in an
ADSL Transceiver Unit-Remote terminal end (ATU-R) device, prior connection
information may be employed to select DMT tones to be included in upstream
training signals. In each case, local echoes are effectively reduced and local receiver
training is improved without affecting eventual data transmission performance in the
other direction. As a result, higher AGC gain and higher signal-to-quantization-noise
ratios can be achieved, especially in the case of long loops. These benefits can allow
(1) improvements in the loop performance in the receiving direction and/or (2)
reductions in the requirements on the receiving ADC. In addition, crosstalks into the
other wire pairs, especially those in the same bundle, are also reduced, improving the
transmission environment on those pairs.
