Abstract: The present invention carries out a desired image processing while using adjoining relationship between image parts. When each pair of image parts among a plurality of consecutive image parts drawn in a predefined drawing order have a difference in density value that is smaller than a threshold value and are located adjacent to one another, the consecutive image parts are recognized to constitute one combined image part. A desired image processing, such as trapping process, is carried out for the combined image part.

Abstract: This invention is related to a process for producing pulp from a cellulosic starting material, wherein an aqueous process effluent is purified from metal impurity cations. This process comprises that the effluent is purified by an electrochemical membrane treatment in an electrochemical membrane device comprising a unit cell through which an electric current is passed between an anode side and a cathode side of said cell, said cell comprising at least two ion permeable membranes forming between them at least one compartment, said effluent being fed into an effluent feed compartment in said cell, in which the effluent is purified by removing with the electric current metal impurity cations from the effluent through a cation selective membrane on the cathode side of said compartment, and withdrawing from said compartment the purified effluent. The purified effluent may be recirculated to the pulp mill process, e.g. as washing water.

Abstract: An aluminum driveshaft assembly (10) is dynamically balanced by locating steel plates (14) at desired locations on an exterior surface of an aluminum driveshaft (12), inserting tapered aluminum studs (16) through tapered holes (15) of the aluminum or steel plates (14), and inertia or friction welding (17) the bases of the aluminum studs (16) to the exterior surface of the driveshaft (12) to retain the steel plates (14). Alternatively steel plates (114) with round cylindrical holes (115) are attached to the driveshaft (12) by round cylindrical studs (116). The cylindrical studs (116) are friction welded to the driveshaft (12) after the aluminum or steel plates (14) are located on the driveshaft (12) and steel plates with cylindrical holes (114) are then inserted onto the studs (116). Cylindrical studs (116) may also be friction welded before the aluminum or steel plates (114) are added. In this case aluminum or steel plates (114) are then added and the stud (116) is rolled over in a secondary operation.

Abstract: In a magnetic disk drive storage system comprising a sampled amplitude read channel and an on-the-fly error correction coding (ECC) system, a thermal asperity compensation technique wherein: a thermal asperity (TA) detection circuit (45) detects a saturation condition in the sample values (25) of the analog read signal (62) which indicates the presence of a TA; a pole of an AC coupling capacitor (55) is elevated; timing recovery (28), gain control (51), and DC offset (44) loops in the read channel are held constant; TA erasure pointers are generated corresponding to the duration of the TA transient; and an on-the-fly error detection and correction (EDAC) circuit processes the TA erasure pointers to correct errors in the detected digital data caused by the TA. Using TA erasure pointers to compensate for the effect of thermal asperities minimizes the cost, complexity, and redundancy of the ECC. Further, soft errors in the prior art method of adjusting the headroom of the read channel ADC are avoided. Still further, the EDAC circuitry can process the erasure pointers on-the-fly and still correct a sufficient number of soft errors without having to perform any significant number of reread operations. In this manner, the disk drive storage system operates virtually uninterrupted in reading data from the disk and transferring it to a host computer.

Abstract: A belt-rolling machine produces continuous, flat parallel films, sheets, or slabs of material, taking in plastic mass, shaping and then solidifying it by appropriate temperature treatment. it includes an upper and lower endless belt (4, 5) esp. of steel, running on drive- (3) and return (2) rollers. There are tempering devices acting (21, 22) on upper and lower belts and rollers. A feeder, esp. an extruder, supplies mass into the entry gap (6) over the belt width, and an adjuster (8) sets the separation of the belts. In the novel design, between drive and return rollers (2, 3) in the tempering regions where the mass is shaped, rotating sizing rollers (11-14) locally reduce the belt separation. Each drive roller has its own drive motor. Also claimed is the procedure for using the equipment, substantially as described.

Abstract: An improved micromechanical modulator that incorporates a mechanical transmission line for damping membrane vibration is disclosed. The modulator comprises a transmission line mechanically communicating with a vertically-movable membrane for receiving an optical signal. The membrane is supported over a substrate. Under the action of bias, the membrane moves toward the substrate, which causes a change in an optical property of the modulator. The transmission line receives and dissipates a sufficient amount of the energy developed in the membrane as it moves to prevent the membrane from vibrating. In one configuration, the modulator incorporates two strip-line transmission lines. In another configuration, the modulator incorporates two clamped-plate transmission lines.

The invention optimizes, for execution speed, such program loops containing statements that are initially variant, but stabilize and become invariant after some number of iterations of the loop. The invention optimizes the loop by unwinding iterations from the loop for which the statements are variant, and by hoisting the stabilized statement from subsequent iterations of the loop.

Abstract: In order to display an image based on image file data, such as that stored on a recording medium (6), originally generated from moving images for example from a VTR (1), the number of pixels is changed in the horizontal or vertical direction of a display screen by a signal processing operation in a controller (4). Various television broadcast standards and display modes are supported. For example, in the NTSC system, a signal processing operation subjects frame data (720 by 480 pixels) to 8:9 pixel count conversion for converting the number of pixels in the horizontal direction from 720 to 640. An image based on the image file data (i.e., still picture) may therefore be displayed on the computer screen (9) with the correct aspect ratio.

14 and a lower pressure rectification column 18. 
     There is in addition a side rectification column 92 for separating argon from a
stream of argon-enriched oxygen/vapour withdrawn from the lower pressure
rectification column 18. An intermediate pressure rectification column 42 is
employed to separate further nitrogen (oxygen-depleted vapour) from the air. An
upward flow of vapour through the intermediate pressure rectification column 42
