Abstract: There is a signal representing an original image. A device generates a signal representing a predicted image for the original image. A subtracter derives a difference between the original-image signal and the predicted-image signal, and outputs the derived difference as a prediction error signal. The prediction error signal is transformed into a transform-resultant signal. The transform-resultant signal is quantized with variable quantization characteristics. An activity of the original image is derived from the original-image signal. An activity is derived from the prediction error signal. The quantization characteristics are controlled in response to both the original-image activity and the prediction-error activity.

Abstract: A quality assurance of surface treatments, typically with shot peening, by analysis of substrate surface line traces is disclosed. In particular, line traces are created over the surface treated substrate. These line traces are filtered with a low pass filter to create relative maximums. The coordinates of the relative maximums are determined and the spatial distance between these coordinates are measured and recorded. The actual plastic upset depth of the surface treatment substrate is determined. The surface treatment is then adjusted, if necessary, based upon the values of these spatial distances and actual plastic upset depths..

Abstract: An image bar recording system which utilizes a plurality of LED image bars to provide a plurality of latent images which may subsequently be developed in different colors. The print bars are initially aligned so that each color image is precisely registered at the same relative position along the exposed area of a photoreceptor belt (46). The alignment is accomplished by adding non-image fiduciary pixels (51,55) to the ends of each print bar and by forming a pair of opposed alignment apertures (40,42) in the surface of the belt. Y-axis alignment of the print bars is accomplished by detecting edge locations of a first pixel (P 1 ) and using this location to select a centrally located fiduciary pixel (P F ). The X-axis alignment is then obtained by rotating the print bar to bring a second selected image pixel into alignment as sensed through a second aperture. Once the initial X and Y-axis alignments are complete, subsequent alignment is maintained through subsequent passes by checking the positions of the previously identified pixels as they advance past additional lead edge apertures formed in the process direction along the belt surface.

Abstract: An optical component mounting substrate which comprises grooves for holding optical fibers, other grooves for optical components being inserted and optical waveguides is produced with a press molding process. A mold having convex and/or concave surface profiles which are corresponding to the grooves and the optical waveguides to be formed on a surface of the optical component mounting substrate is used as a die in the press molding process. The surface profiles of the mold are precisely transferred onto the surface of a transparent glass base substrate, thereby forming the optical component mounting substrate having a desired surface configuration including the grooves and the optical waveguides. Optical fibers are aligned along the grooves and fixed by a light-curing adhesive. Since a press molding process is applied, the optical component mounting substrate can be produced easily at a low cost with mass production and also can attain many advantages such as small coupling loss, small crosstalk, high positional accuracy, excellent reproducibility and high reliability.

Abstract: Oxidic surfaces can be pattern-wise chemically modified by providing one or several monolayers of a photosensitive silane. After pattern-wise exposure of said photosensitive silane, the exposed parts are esterified with an alcohol which comprises at least one fluorine atom, so that said exposed areas become strongly hydrophobic. Subsequently, the unexposed areas are exposed, so that these areas become hydrophilic. The hydrophilic areas can then be metallized in an electroless process, thereby forming a metal pattern.

Abstract: Hamming distance calculation device (10) includes a bit comparator (12) for determining non- matching bit positions between two digital words. A current signal is generated for each nonmatching bit position by a nonmatching current generator (14). The current signals created are combined to produce a summed current signal that drives a first reference current comparator (18), a second reference current comparator (20), and an nth reference current comparator (22). The first reference current comparator (18) compares the summed current signal with a reference current signal to produce an output and a select signal that determines a reference current signal used in the second reference current comparator (20). The second reference current comparator (20) compares the summed current signal with a reference current signal as selected by the first reference current comparator (18) and produces an output in response thereof. The Nth reference current comparator (22) compares the summed current signal with a reference current signal as selected by the previous reference current comparator (20) and produces an output in response thereof. Each reference current comparator provides an output that collectively establish a digital output word indicating the Hamming distance between the two input digital words.
