Abstract: A first feature parameter calculating circuit
outputs, as a variable of a first feature parameter,
a difference between a maximum value and a minimum
value of signal levels of pixels calculated in a local
block having a target pixel at a center. A second
feature parameter calculating circuit determines sums
of differences in signal level in the local block,
along a direction in which the pixels are arranged,
and outputs, as a variable of a second feature
parameter, a minimum value of the sums. A third
feature parameter calculating circuit binarizes the
pixels in the local block, and counts the number of
succeedingly arranged pixels having equal density, for
example, along a main scanning direction, and
calculates a difference between a maximum value and a
minimum value of the numbers counted. In the same
manner, a difference is also calculated along a sub
scanning direction, and larger of two differences is
outputted as a variable of a third feature parameter.
A judging circuit categorizes each variable multi-dimensionally
so as to discriminate a region including
the target pixel.

Abstract: A diffractive spatial light modulator comprises an electro-optic material,
such as FLC, disposed between upper and lower substrates. The upper
substrate carries two or more sets of interdigitated electrodes 20, 21 which
extend over the whole of the device. The electrodes of each set are
connected together and are interdigitated with the electrodes of the other
set. On the other substrate, an array of discrete electrodes is provided for
addressing the pixels and controlling their state. The sets of interdigitated
electrodes are connected to receive suitable voltages or pulses whereas the
appropriate voltages or pulses supplied to the individual pixel electrode 23
allow each pixel to be switched between a diffractive mode in which it acts
as a phase-only diffraction grating and a non-diffractive mode. Light may be
collected, for instance, from the first order diffraction modes so as to provide
display in which each pixel is dark in the non-diffractive state and light in
the diffractive state.

Abstract: A soft handover system is provided for a multiple sub-carrier communication
system, applicable to the uplink (mobile unit to base stations) and/or the downlink
(base stations to mobile unit). The soft handover system uses multiple sub-carriers to
simultaneously transmit multiple sub-carrier signals between at least two base stations
and the mobile unit in the uplink and/or downlink. In certain embodiments, the soft
handover system provides for synchronized multiple sub-carrier transmission such
that the delay differences between the multiple sub-carrier transmissions from the
different base stations arriving at the mobile unit are within the guard time of the
multiple sub-carrier symbols. Certain embodiments of the soft handover system use
the same set of sub-carriers for links between the mobile unit and the base stations of
different cells, and other embodiments use different sets of sub-carriers for links
between the mobile unit and the base stations of different cells. In the soft handover
system using the same set of sub-carriers, the mobile unit receives downlink signals
with identical data content from the different base stations. The mobile unit need not
distinguish between the signals from the different base stations. The mobile unit just
treats the downlink signals from the different base stations as multipath components,
thereby increasing the diversity gain. In the case of a multiple sub-carrier CDMA
system, the soft handover system can use the same sub-carriers as well as the same
CDMA encoding and/or spreading code.

Abstract: The invention relates to techniques for manufacturing
columnar-grained polycrystalline sheets which have particular
utility as substrates or wafers for solar cells. The sheet is made
by applying granular silicon to a setter material which supports
the granular material. The setter material and granular silicon
are subjected to a thermal profile all of which promote columnar
growth by melting the silicon from the top downwardly. The thermal
profile sequentially creates a melt region at the top of the
granular silicon and then a growth region where both liquid and a
growing polycrystalline sheet layer coexist. An annealing region
is created where the temperature of the grown polycrystalline
silicon sheet layer is controllably reduced to effect stress
relief.
