Patent EP-0531157-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BILLYARD ADAM
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 1992-09-04
Abstract: To effect hidden surface removal, polygons making up a three dimensional object are initially ordered using a Topological Sort into, for example, three rendering order lists corresponding to orthogonal axis. When the object is to be represented from a given view direction, the view direction is compared to the axis and the rendering list corresponding to the closest match is selected. Polygons are then rendered in list order, backward facing polygons being omitted. Performing the ordering at the polygon level, in an initial step, saves computation and consequently enables the projection and rendering processes to be speeded up to provide real time interactive three dimensional graphics. The Topological Sorting process is particularly computationally effective.

Abstract: The invention provides for optical scanner apparatus (20, 110) having a rotatable polygon (44, 118) with a plurality of mirror facets (46), and having a curved mirror portion (42, 146-152), a collection mirror member (34) having a pair of reflective surfaces (38,40) and a source (30, 112) of scanning light beams which projects the scanning light beams at one (38) of the reflecting surfaces in the collection mirror (34). By deflecting the scanning light beams off the curved mirror portions (42, 146-152), the mirror facets (46) and the pair of reflective surfaces (38,40), a single line scan pattern composed of a plurality of single line scan lines (60) each located at a different focal plane will be generated to scan a bar code label. By changing the orientation of the mirror facets (46) together with changing the radius curvature of the curved mirror portions (42), an axial invariant bowtie scan pattern (62) composed of multiple scan lines focused at a different focal plane is generated.

Abstract: A merged MR head is provided which has vertically aligned sidewalls so as to minimize side-fringing and improve off-track performance. The bottom pole piece P1, which comprises the second shield layer S2 of the read head, has a pedestal pole tip with a short length dimension. A pedestal pole tip with a length as short as two times the length of the gap layer G optimally minimizes the sidewriting and improves off-track performance. The bottom pole tip structure of the write head is constructed by ion beam milling using the top pole tip structure as a mask. The ion beam milling is directed at an angle to the sidewalls of the top pole tip structure which causes the bottom pole tip structure to be milled with sidewalls which align with the top pole tip structure. The ion beam milling can comprise two angled beams, either sequentially or simultaneously, the first beam performing primarily a cutting operation and some clean up work while the second beam primarily conducts clean up work of the redeposition of the debris caused by the cutting. In another embodiment, a single angled ion beam can be employed, provided its angle is within a particular range.
