IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 1997-01-22
Abstract: A system and method are provided which reduce the memory
requirements of a decoding subsystem by decoding some pictures multiple
times. In a preferred embodiment a video decoder stores only two decoded
frames plus a small fraction of a third decoded frame in memory. This
embodiment is particularly pertinent to digital video signals compressed
according to the MPEG-2 standard. In such an embodiment, each reference
picture is decoded once, each field-structured B-picture is decoded once,
each frame-structured B picture without a repeated field is decoded
twice, and each frame-structured B picture with a repeated field is
decoded three times.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that utilize a sensor circuit and a liquid
supply to control resistance of a fluid carrier of an aquatron. The resistance of
the fluid carrier or charging pad is maintained by controlling the loading or
concentration of liquid in the charging pad. A comparison of the fluid or liquid
level in the charging pad to the desired fluid level for the charging pad triggers
the addition or reduction of fluid to the charging pad to achieve the desired
fluid level and thus the desired resistance. A minimum fluid carrier resistance
is required to prevent loading the power supply when charging over pinholes
and scratches in the imaging surface.

Inventor: CHEN HENG-GUNG
IPC: H01J37/317
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: Electrical charge neutralization effects are known to be factors that affect
the dose or concentrations of beam treatment by high current implanters (11).
Raising beam energies to 1 MeV and beyond requires an understanding of the
effects of both charge stripping and charge neutralization as well as a
numerically efficient model compensating for these effects. Charge stripping
generates ions of a higher charge state and may cause the measured electronic
current from a Faraday cup to overestimate the true particle current. The
invention implements an analysis based on the concept of an effective charge
state for an ion beam (19) and results in a more general interpretation that
covers both the charge stripping effect as well as ion neutralization. Dose
control using the disclosed techniques requires two adjustable parameters: an
apparent cross section of interaction between the beam and particles in the
beam path and the ratio of the final steady charge state to the initial charge
state.

electric field having polarity opposite to the polarity of the first electric
field is applied to the crystal (10). Application of the second electric field
reduces nonuniformity in ion concentration across the crystal (10).
