Patent EP-1078734-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KEIL CHARLES R
IPC: H05K3/00
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An improved method of and apparatus that is
continuously automatically operative in an in-line system
is described for applying under heat, vacuum and
mechanical pressure a dry film photoresist-forming layer
to printed circuit boards (136) that already have been
prelaminated by the loose application thereto of the dry
film resist as discrete cut sheets within the confines of
the surface of the boards whereby a laminate without
entrapped air bubbles and closely conforming to the raised
circuit traces and irregular surface contours of the
printed circuit board is obtained. Featured is a
conveyorized vacuum laminator (18) comprising heated upper
and lower platens (96,94) adapted to be moved into sealing
engagement to form a vacuum lamination chamber (16), and
disposed between the platens are two independent belt
conveyor systems (20,22) that act as heat shields to
prevent the printed circuit board and the loosely applied
dry film from being heated up too rapidly in the vacuum
chamber by the residual heat given off by the upper and
lower platens before the film can be completely evacuated.
This prevents premature tacking of the dry film to the
board and enables all of the air entrapped between the
film and the board surface to be drawn off before the
application of heat and mechanical pressure, so as to
ensure complete conformance of the dry film around the
circuit traces and surface contours.

Abstract: A method (100) and system (10) for controlling the
temperature of a first NO x  trap in an aftertreatment system
for a variable displacement engine (12). The frequency of
switching between first and second cylinder banks (14, 16)
of said variable displacement engine (12) controls the
temperature of the NO x  trap (18) in order to maintain the
temperature within a preferred operating temperature range.
A set of control valves (V1, V2, V3) is used to direct the
flow of exhaust from alternate cylinder banks (14, 16)
through various paths in order to maintain the desired
temperature of the first NO x  trap (18). In another
embodiment (30), the aftertreatment and method (120) include
a second NO x  trap (26) for situations in which both engine
banks (14, 16) are run simultaneously.

Abstract: The types of pixels of an image made up of a plurality
of pixels arranged in a main scanning direction and a
sub-scanning direction are distinguished. The image is divided
into a plurality of blocks each substantially larger than a
visually distinguishable size, properties of the images in the
blocks representing the probability that the image is a binary
image are detected, probability that the image in each block
is a binary image is determined on the basis of the detected
properties of the image in the block, and the blocks are divided
into a binary image block, a tone image block, and an
indeterminate image block according to the probability that
the image is a binary image. The pixels in the blocks which
are determined to be a binary image block are all determined
to be pixels of a binary image while the pixels in the blocks
which are determined to be a tone image block are all determined
to be pixels of a tone image. Then a pixel-by-pixel
determination is carried out on the blocks, which are determined
to be an indeterminate image block by the block-by-block
determination, in which properties of each of the pixels in
each of the indeterminate blocks representing the probability
that the pixel is of a binary image are detected, and whether
the pixel is a pixel of a binary image is determined on the
basis of the detected properties.

Abstract: The disclosure presents a number of reduced complexity architectures for despreading direct sequence spread spectrum communications signals. In a first despreading architecture for a sequence removal unit, received chip-spaced complex samples are negated in accordance with the processed phase of a complex spreading sequence. Furthermore, the in-phase and quadrature phase sample values are switched for each other in accordance with the processed phase. In a second despreading architecture, in a sequence removal unit, received chip-spaced complex samples are processed in the logarithmic domain, with the phase of the complex spreading sequence added to the detected phase, and the resulting complex signal then converted back to Cartesian coordinates. In a third despreading architecture for a correlator, sequence removal and correlation are performed in the logarithmic domain with the amplitudes and phases for the resulting complex signal arithmetically averaged and then converted back to Cartesian coordinates. In a fourth despreading architecture also for a correlator, sequence removal and correlation are performed in the logarithmic domain using circular averaging. In a fifth despreading architecture also for a correlator, wherein multiple component sequences are combined together to form an overall sequence, and wherein one of the multiple component sequences is shared by all channels, a common sequence removal is provided for removal of the shared sequence from all channels. The resulting signals are then sent to a plurality of individual correlators for removal of channel specific sequences.

Abstract: A type system includes a dual representation for basic data types. One
representation is the basic data type representation common to such basic built-in
data types, known as an unboxed value type or simply as a value type. Each of the
basic data types also has a boxed representation that can be stored in the object
hierarchy of the type system. This dual representation can also be extended to user-defined
types, so that user-defined types may exist both as an unboxed value type
and as an object within the object hierarchy of the type system. This dual
representation allows the compiler and/or runtime environment to select the most
effective and efficient representation for the data type depending on the particular
need at the moment.

Abstract: A color scannerless range imaging system includes an illumination
system for controllably illuminating a scene with modulated illumination and an
image responsive element for capturing image light from the scene, including the
modulated image light. The system establishes a primary optical path for directly
image light toward the image responsive element. A beamsplitter located in the
primary optical path separates the image light into two channels, a first channel
including an infrared component and a second channel including a color texture
component, whereby one of the channels traverses a secondary optical path
distinct from the primary path. A modulating element is operative in the first
channel to receive the infrared component and a modulating signal, and to
generate a processed infrared component with phase data indicative of range
information. An optical network is provided in the secondary optical path for
recombining the secondary optical path into the primary optical path such that the
processed infrared component and the color texture component are directly to the
image responsive element.
