Inventor: MURAI ATSUSHI
IPC: H01L41/083
Filed: 2000-09-19
Abstract: In a piezoelectric element having a laminated body
(11) of piezoelectric layers (111), wherein an electric voltage
is applied across internal electrodes (121,122) of
positive and negative polarities formed between the
layers from external electrodes (131,132) so as to form
an electric field within the piezoelectric layers to
thereby displace the piezoelectric layers, an inductor (2) is
provided at an intermediate position along a current path
connecting the external electrode of one polarity and the
internal electrode (121) of the one polarity, whereby no external
inductor is needed in a driving circuit (7), thus making it possible
to drive the piezoelectric elements with a simple driving circuit. The
inductor (2) is integrally laminated into the stack and may further
comprise a plurality of coil patterns (4,41,42,43) and/or a
magnetic material (6).

Abstract: A method for the reduction in iodine content in a mixture,
particularly in a mixture of carboxylic acids and/or carboxylic
anhydrides with alkyl iodides and/or hydriodic
acid, comprises contacting the organic medium in the vapour
phase at elevated temperature with a metal salt dispersed
on activated charcoal. The metal salt may be a carboxylate
salt, a carbonate, an oxide, a hydroxide and any other
salt, which may react with the organic medium to give a
metal carboxylate salt. The metal may be a main group element,
a lanthanide, an actinide, zinc and copper. This process
converts alkyl iodide compounds converted to their
corresponding carboxylate esters, while the iodine is bound
in the purification mass as inorganic iodide.

Abstract: In a cryptographic method and equipment and a decrypting
method and equipment according to the invention, the auxiliary
code depending upon a randomly determined numeric key and the
result of encryption is included together with the result of
encryption into a cryptogram. On decrypting, a cryptographic
key is restored by using the numeric key restored according
to the entire cryptogram and is utilized in the decryption.
On the other hand, in another cryptographic method and
equipment and another decrypting method and equipment
according to the invention, on encrypting, physical
characteristic information is scrambled and then encrypted.
On this encryption, on the contrary, the result of decryption
is descrambled. In these cryptographic method and equipment,
together with decryption method and equipment, any small
alteration made on the cryptogram causes a serious damage on
the result of decryption. So, by applying these techniques to
sending and receiving the physical characteristic information,
their safety can be improved. On the other hand, in a remote
identification system according to the invention, by
encrypting the physical characteristic information by using
a password as a cryptographic key, because of the fluctuation
of the physical characteristic information, authenticating
information represented as a different bit pattern at each
identifying processing can be generated and sent to a
transmission medium. So, by examining the equivalence
between the result of decryption of the authenticating
information and the registered reference information while
considering the aforementioned fluctuation, the person can be
reliably identified.

Abstract: Efficient techniques for blurring an image based on depth within a 3D
graphics system allow an artist or programmer to specify one or more depth
thresholds. Pixels (24, 36) having depths that are further away than a
particular depth threshold are blurred more than pixels (12,16) having depths
that are closer than the depth threshold. Efficient summing/averaging
techniques can be used to blend a variable number of neighboring pixel colors
(16, 18, 20 etc; the number of pixels blended being selected based on pixel
depth) to provide depth-based blur. An enhancement blends only those pixels
that are further away than the target pixel. Using such techniques, display
surfaces that are further away from the viewpoint appear blurred and less
distinct than surfaces that are closer to the viewpoint. The resulting visual
effects can efficiently create more realistic images for a number of applications
such as, for example, driving games, games in which a character travels
progressively along a path, etc.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for allocating functional units in a
multithreaded very large instruction word (VLIW) processor. The present invention
combines the techniques of conventional VLIW architectures and conventional
multithreaded architectures to reduce execution time within an individual program, as
well as across a workload. The present invention utilizes a compiler to detect
parallelism. The disclosed multithreaded VLIW architecture exploits program
parallelism by issuing multiple instructions, in a similar manner to single threaded
VLIW processors, from a single program sequencer, and also supports multiple
program sequencers, as in simultaneous multithreading. Instructions are allocated to
functional units to issue multiple VLIW instructions to multiple functional units in the
same cycle. The allocation mechanism of the present invention occupies a pipeline
stage just before arguments are dispatched to functional units. The allocate stage
determines how to group the instructions together to maximize efficiency, by selecting
appropriate instructions and assigning the instructions to the FUs. The criteria for
selection are thread priority or resource availability or both. Under the thread priority
criteria, different threads can have different priorities. The allocate stage selects and
forwards the packets (or instructions from packets) for execution belonging to the
thread with the highest priority according to the priority policy implemented. Under
the resource availability criteria, a packet (having up to K instructions) can be allocated
only if the resources (functional units) required by the packet are available for the next
cycle. Functional units report their availability to the allocate stage.
