Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for error correction in digital magnetic tape recording and playback on and from individual tracks of a magnetic tape by the helical scanning method. Due to the ever-advancing data compression in the area of video recording and due to the use of magnetic tape devices with helical scanning recording as the means of storage, the requirements for error correction are ever increasing. For this reason, a method for error correction is proposed which, in addition to a two-dimensional correction in the x and y directions by means of a product code, also adds and records test symbols in the z direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for image-moderated metallisation of structured printed circuit boards is described, in which the finished structured printed circuit board is covered with a solder resist mask while leaving the solder contact points free, the solder resist mask is heated under conditions such that complete hardening does not yet take place and the copper surface of the printed circuit board remains practically unoxidised, metal from an aqueous bath is deposited on the exposed solder contact points and, after the metal deposition, the mask is heated for a suitable period of time to a suitably high temperature so that the mask is completely hardened. The incomplete prehardening prevents the solution from infiltrating into the mask during the metallisation, which would decrease the adhesion of the mask.

Abstract: A method is capable of detecting both abrupt and gradual scene changes. Consecutive frames of an image sequence (e.g., a video program) are first acquired and digitized. The images are subdivided into a plurality of rectangular regions. Block matching is performed between the current frame and the Dth previous frame to determine match signals that represent the likelihood that the regions of the first frame contain visual information substantially similar to respective matching regions of the second frame. The match signals are ordered beginning with the match signals defining the best match and ending with the match signals defining the worst match. The first S match signals are selected and averaged together, to obtain an instantaneous match (IM) signal. S is user definable and is greater than zero and less than or equal to the number of regions into which each frame is divided. The IM signal provides a criteria for determining whether the first frame belongs to a scene different from the second frame. Finally, a scene change is indicated when the IM signal meets certain decision criteria.

Abstract: A high resolution gain response correction circuit. The inventive circuit (10) is adapted for use with a first circuit for providing a first analog input signal and includes a second circuit (R p , R ref ) for providing a second input signal in response to the first input signal. A third circuit (12) is included for providing an analog output signal in response to the first and second input signals. In a particular implementation, the third circuit is a digital-to-analog converter (12). The digital-to-analog converter (12) is adapted to adjust the output signal level in response to an individual pixel correction reference signal. A digital potentiometer (R P ) allows for the first input signal to be scaled and used to adjust the level of the second input signal. By adjusting the setting of the potentiometer, the dynamic range of the output to the digital-to-analog converter may be adjusted. Hence, the inventive arrangement allows for the gain correction range of a digital-to-analog converter to be matched to a particular array under test via software control.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for measuring the sheet resistance of an electrically conductive film on a semiconductor substrate (24) while maintaining the substrate within the vacuum environment of the semiconductor process apparatus. In one aspect of the invention, the conductive film is deposited on the substrate (24) within a vacuum chamber (26), and the resistance probe (36) is located within the same chamber. The probe (36) retracts out of the way during deposition of the film, and then moves to the substrate (24), to measure the resistance of the film after deposition is paused or completed. In a second aspect of the invention, the probe (36) is located in a chamber other than the chamber which deposits the conductive film. The chamber housing the probe (36) can be the "transfer chamber" (12) which houses the substrate transfer robot (22) used to carry substrates (24) from one process chamber to another, or it can be a cooling chamber (26) which cools the substrate (24) after the film is deposited so that the sheet resistance measurement can be performed at a desired lower temperature. If the probe (36) is located in the transfer chamber (12), the probe (36) can measure the substrate (24) while it is in the transfer chamber (12) in the course of being transferred from one process chamber to another.

Abstract: A data handling arrangement for a computer system, with particular application to multimedia systems, allows device adapters (control units) attached to the system to autonomously (without interrupting the system processor) control processing of a data stream of arbitrary length through memory buffers which are smaller than the stream. In this (stream processing) operation, data constituting the data stream flows through devices controlled by the adapter in succession, and is held in shared memory buffers as it passes between devices. The adapters are prepared for the stream processing operation by a system processor, indicate their preparation status to the processor, receive an initiating signal from the processor, and then proceed to direct the operation to completion without further assistance from the processor. In the operation, the adapters coordinate usage of the memory buffers by respective devices. Coordination is accomplished using a notification signalling protocol defined during preparation of the adapters. For notifying each other of buffer events (filling, emptying, etc.), the adapters use a peer communication feature of a system channel which connects the adapters and devices to the system processor and memory. This feature permits one adapter to directly communicate "notification" information to another control unit without involving the system processor. Information furnished to the adapters during their preparation includes descriptors defining the memory buffers and the notification protocol. It also may include descriptors enabling a control unit to synchronize the processing of data in a stream with events external to the stream; e.g. an external timer function or events associated with the processing of another data stream. Thus, for instance, video and audio components of a live motion picture presentation could be synchronized. The controlling functions affecting stream processing are isolated from the controlled devices, and the processing functions performed by each device on data in a stream are performed independent of the functions performed by any other device relative to the same stream; thereby simplifying development of new devices and new processing functions.
