Abstract: The invention relates to the press bending and tempering of glass sheets, especially for use as glazings in vehicles. When the press bending system (13) is not located in a heated environment such as a furnace (12), it is important to maintain the glass sheets (11) at a sufficiently high temperature for an adequate degree of temper to be achieved on quenching the sheet. 
     The present invention provides method of bending and tempering a thin glass sheet (11) comprising pressing the substantially horizontal sheet between moulds (61,62) having opposed complementary shaping surfaces (110,130), at least one of said surfaces being heated, and subsequently quenching the surfaces of the sheet characterised in that the heated shaping surface (110) is maintained at a temperature in the range from 200 º C to 350 º C.

Abstract: A method of supersolvus forging is described for Ni-base superalloys, particularly those which comprise a mixture of γ and γ' phases, and most particularly those which contain at least about 40 percent by volume of γ'. The method permits the manufacture of large grain size forged articles having a grain size in the range of 50-150 µm. The method comprises the selection of a fine-grained forging preform of a Ni-base superalloy. Supersolvus forging in the range of 0-100°F above the alloy solvus temperature then performed at slow strain rates in the range of 0.01-0.001 s -1 . Subsequent supersolvus annealing followed by controlled cooling may be employed to control the distribution of the γ', and hence influence the alloy mechanical and physical properties. The method may also be used to produce location specific grain sizes and phase distributions within the forged article.

Abstract: The method uses an estimation stage (50) which allocates to estimated data (Z)p, a decorrelated additive noise which is allocated to the received data (X)p. In the reiterations, the first estimated value is neutral and subsequent values are the sum (41) of the received data and the previous estimation. Where there is redundant data, (Y)p, transmitted, the estimation stage is only applied to the source data.   The decoding stage (43,48) uses algorithms with maximum probability of the weighted Viterbi type. A demultiplexing stage (42) directs the received coded data, (Y1)p and (Y2)p, to the appropriate decoding stage and transmits null values to the decoding stage for which no coded data had been transmitted.

Abstract: Control signal E c  is generated (18) proportional to luminance of a foreground scene comprising a subject (10) selectively before a blue backing (17). E c  is corrected for luminance non-uniformity (Fig. 3) by multiplying (31) live E c  with the subject present by the reciprocal (29) of stored (30) E c  without the subject such that the corrected control signal (LE c ) is unity wherever the foreground video signal represents the backing (17). Color correction (Fig. 6) corrects, for example, the blue video signal to a predetermined ideal value (36) where the foreground signal represents the backing (17) and may be applied to all three of the RGB signals using one (Fig. 7), two (Fig. 8A) or three (Fig. 8) memories.

Abstract: A process executing method capable of performing
multiprocessing by using a shared resource (608)
without impairing periodical drivability of processes
designed for executing continuous media processing. When
a process requests the use of the shared resource,
abortion of that process is first disabled by the process
itself by using an abort disable function (21) and then
preemption of the same process is disabled by means of a
preempt control module (30), whereupon the process enters
a processing executed by using the shared resource (608).
Upon completion of the processing for the shared resource
(608), the process is immediately set to a preempt-enabled
state by means of a preempt control module (30).
After completion of all the processings, the abort-disabled
state is finally cleared by using a disabled-abort
clear function (22). Upon occurrence of forcive
termination of a process in the abort-disabled state
thereof, execution of this process is continued until the
abort-disabled state is cleared, and the process is
terminated forcibly after the abort-disabled state has
been cleared.
