Patent EP-1510481-A3 (EP)
Inventor: RICHARDSON DONALD
IPC: B65H3/06
Filed: 2004-08-26
Abstract: A substrate manager for a substrate exposure machine is used, in one example, as a platesetter. As such, it comprises a substrate storage system, containing one or more stacks of substrates, such as plates in one implementation. A substrate picker is provided for picking substrates from the stack of substrates. The substrates are then handed to a transfer system that conveys the substrates to an imaging engine. According to the invention, a substrate inverter system is also provided. This system inverts the substrates from being imaging or emulsion side down to emulsion side up in the present implementation. This allows plates, for example, which are stored emulsion side down in cassettes to be flipped to an emulsion side up orientation, and then transferred, using the substrate transfer system to the imaging engine. This flipping process has two advantages. First, the plates can be emulsion side up during the transfer. This prevents any damage to the sensitive plate emulsions. Moreover, the plates, now in an emulsion side up configuration are in the right orientation for being installed on the outside of a drum on an external drum imaging system, as is common in many platesetters. Also, the plates are picked from the non emulsion side. Thus the system is less sensitive to emulsion formulation changes. A slip sheet capture mechanism is also provided to pass slip sheets separating the plates to a storage location.

Abstract: The longest prefix match method of the invention is based on an enhanced look-up combined with a binary search over the hash tables, which results in reduced average and worst-case lookup times. The lookup involves using a sliding window of a fixed size which separates prefixes into groupings, while reducing the number of prefix lengths that need to be searched. Additionally, the order of prefix lengths searched can be tuned based on statistical traffic measurements in order to further reduce the average case lookup.

Abstract: For imaging, broad transmit beams (50) are used to increase frame rate. Two or more receive beams (52) are formed in response to each of the broad beam transmit operations. For aberration correction (34), narrow transmit beams (54) are used, such as a beam associated with receiving along a single scan line (52). By altering a pulse shape or delay profile, the broad and narrow beam patterns are generated. The wavefront coherence of a narrow beam (54) allows for accurate determination of relative time delay differences or other aberration corrections. The narrowly focused transmit beams (54) are directed automatically towards special targets, such as isolated point targets, to further enhance backscattering coherence. The wide transmit beams (50) and associated wavefront allow for more rapid scanning of a two-dimensional area or a three-dimensional volume. Interleaving the two different types of transmit beams (50, 54) allows for use of aberration correction (34) to increase resolution and reduced clutter levels while more quickly scanning a region.

Abstract: The image data is initially processed in a manner that is similar to that used to convert the image data into 3-layer mixed raster content format. After the image data is initially processed through a first stage of the three-layer segmentation process, rather than completing the segmentation into foreground and background planes, the image data is analyzed to identify regions having similar image characteristics. These regions are grouped together in cluster if they share color characteristics and are spatially close. The clusters are then sorted according to their size, and placed into a binary foreground plane based on one or more color characteristics. Each cluster gathered into a binary foreground plane having the same color as the color of the cluster.

Abstract: Described is an architecture by which application programs can provide data to auxiliary display devices of essentially any type for display to a user. A defined application layer (e.g., accessed via interfaces) allows programs to provide data to a service that controls the output of data to an auxiliary display device, and returns navigational data to the application upon appropriate user interaction with the device via actuators. Enumeration allows applications to discover the capabilities of a device, while arbitration determines which application has input-output rights to the device. The architecture further provides a protocol layer including pluggable protocol proxies that allow various types of displays to serve as an auxiliary display. This platform-like model allows program developers the ability provide programs that leverage auxiliary displays when available, and provides display manufacturers the ability to provide displays with extensible capabilities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (10,18) for providing increased power to a memory array of a computer's memory subsystem, and more particularly power at a level greater than that available through the computer motherboard, so as to boost memory performance and operational stability. The apparatus (10,18) includes a supply means (10) for supplying an input voltage to the memory subsystem at a level that is higher than the power level provided to the memory subsystem by the motherboard. The method entails electrically connecting the supply means (10) to the memory subsystem and then electrically connecting a power source to the means (10) to deliver the input voltage to the memory subsystem. The additional input voltage supplied to the memory subsystem causes memory chips on memory modules of the memory subsystem to run at higher frequencies, such that the various internal operations of the memory, such as reading and writing, occur more quickly.

Filed: 1995-04-28
Abstract: A diagnostic test for glaucoma, which can detect the early stages of the disease, uses psychophysically determined contrast thresholds for seeing the frequency doubled illusion to assess glaucomatous damage to the neurons of the eye. The visual field of the subject is divided into a number of regions and the contrast threshold for seeing the frequency doubled pattern in each region of the two eyes is assessed. The frequency doubled patterns arc single spatial frequencies in the range 0.1 to 4.0 cycles per degree whose contrast is modulated in time at between 10 and 50 Hz so that their spatial frequency appear doubled due to the nonlinear response of the eye under these stimulus conditions. The presence of the frequency double illusion is linked to the My class of retinal ganglion cell which is the neuronal type most likely to be damaged by glaucoma. Thus, the visibility of the illusion is related to glaucomatous damage.
