Inventor: GARDNER JENNIFER A
IPC: D01F6/92
Filed: 1993-01-19
Abstract: A high temperature copolyester monofilament exhibits enhanced knot tenacity and is formed from the extrusion of a polymer blend of a copolyester resin and a fluoropolymer resin. Additives such as thermal stabilizers may be added to the polymer blend. The polymer blend may be extruded in the presence of other additives such as a hydrolytic stabilizer. The monofilament exhibits a higher average knot tenacity, a higher minimum knot tenacity, a narrower knot tenacity range and lower standard deviation as compared to standard high temperature copolyester monofilaments. A dryer fabric comprises a plurality of woven copolyester monofilaments having enhanced knot tenacity, the monofilaments comprising a polymer blend of copolyester resin and fluoropolymer resin, and may further include thermal stabilizers and hydrolytic stabilizers.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of rapidly drawing straight lines and circular arcs of width 1 pixel on a raster scan graphic display. It is determined whether or not the point, the X coordinate of which is incremented by 1 relative to the current point, and the point, the Y coordinate of which is incremented by 1 relative to the current point, are between the outlines f1 and f2 defining a straight line of width 1. If the point, the x coordinate of which is incremented by 1, is between the outlines f1 and f2, it is plotted and selected as the next pixel. If this is not the case, and the point, the y coordinate of which is incremented by 1, is between the outlines f1 and f2, it is plotted and selected as the next point. If neither point is between the outlines f1 and f2, the point, the x and y coordinates of which are incremented by 1, is plotted and selected as the next pixel.

Abstract: During sampling, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter (6) separates a composite signal into two components, non-cardiac physiological phenomena and cardiac artifacts. The length of the filter window dynamically varies to produce an output signal in which the cardiac frequency and any associated harmonics are suppressed. The FIR filter (6) is applied to the patient signal and lags the patient signal by at least one interval between triggering events. When the present interval between triggering events passes by the filter window, the window length is gradually adjusted to have the same length as the next period such that the triggering events are synchronized with the endpoints of the filter window at the start of each interval. The difference between the present interval and the next interval is evenly distributed or subtracted across the filter window between synchronizations.

Abstract: A delay generator (30) for a beamformer (12) in a phased array ultrasound imaging system is provided. The beamformer (12) processes received signals from an array (10) of transducer elements (10₁, 10₂ ... 10 N ) to form a receive beam. The beamformer (12) includes a delay generator (30) corresponding to each transducer element for delaying the received signal. The delay generator (30) includes a delay unit (22 i ) and a delay controller (24 i ). The delay is variable in response to a change delay signal supplied by the delay controller (24 i ) at discrete times during reception of ultrasound energy. According to one feature of the invention, the delay represents an exact solution, within the quantization error of the delay unit, to the delay equation for the delay at a given steering angle, transducer element and focal depth. According to another feature of the invention, the delay controller (24 i ) generates a change delay signal that steers the receive beam to a dynamically variable steering angle and dynamically focuses the receive beam during reception of ultrasound energy.

Abstract: A variable transfer rate coding apparatus codes moving picture signals of groups of pictures (GOPs). The picture signals are quantized under control of quantization step width and coded. A first code amount per GOP and a second code amount of picture data included GOP are obtained from the coded picture signals. In response to the first code amount, a total code amount of the picture signals of the GOPs are calculated and the total code amount is compared with a reference total code amount, to decide a first target code amount per GOP in order that the total code amount becomes a maximum amount within the reference total code amount. Further, in response to the first target code amount and the second code amount, a second target code amount of the picture data included in each GOP is determined in accordance with the maximum amount. The quantization step width is varied on the basis of the second target code amount.

Abstract: A vivid color correction technique eliminates artifacts from a predetermined tonal area of a halftone image to thereby improve the color vividness of that image. According to this technique, pixel tonal values associated with input colors are initially examined to determine a maximum color value. After error diffusion halftoning, the resulting binary pixel values are collectively processed to generate inter-color information for comparison with a selected harmonic color cluster. If the inter-color information specifies a color that does not match one of the colors of the selected harmonic cluster, the inter-color information is "corrected" to reflect an acceptable output color.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention features a method for enabling a user of a computer to rapidly begin using an application which had been previously placed in a non-running state. Prior to the time when the application was placed in the non-running state, information defining an image of an interactive screen associated with the application is stored in the memory of the computer and locked to prevent corruption by other running applications. Then, in response to a request from the user to begin using the application, and before the application has been fully loaded into memory and is again running, the image defined by the stored information is displayed to the user. In this way the user is given the impression that the application has become immediately available.
