Abstract: A improved panel structure wherein at least one face of the panel is
perforated with small holes and where it is desirable to minimize the number
of holes that get filled in with adhesive. For example, an improved noise
reducing acoustic panel (30) (FIG. 3) constructed of a nonperforated inner skin
(14), a perforated outer skin (16) having small holes (18), two sections (12, 12a)
of honeycomb core material which are bonded or spliced together by a
partially or fully encapsulated foaming adhesive (32e) which has been foamed
and expanded, thereby forcing a supported film adhesive (34c) against the
walls (24, 24a) of the honeycomb cells in the area of the gap (22) whereby the
supported film adhesive (34c) bonds to the walls (24, 24a) of the honeycomb
cells in the area of the gap (22). The nonperforated inner skin (14) has been
adhesively bonded by a film adhesive to the honeycomb core sections (12, 12a).
The perforated outer skin (16) has been adhesively bonded by an unsupported
film adhesive to the honeycomb core sections (12, 12a). Encapsulated foaming
adhesive (32e) has no horizontal bleed out and it fills a minimum number of
the small holes (36, 36a) in the perforated outer skin (16), thereby maximizing
the desired noise reducing capability of the acoustic panel (30). As compared
to the prior art acoustic panel (10) (FIG. 1), the acoustic panel (30) (FIG. 3) of
the invention has a smaller number of filled holes (36, 36a) and a smaller splice
width. It also has a neater appearance and a more uniform pattern of filled
holes (36, 36a).

Abstract: A method for encoding a digital signal which is free from
overflow and/or underflow of decoder buffer when video and
audio data are reproduced while switching a plurality of bit
streams from one to another, is disclosed. The method includes
the steps of receiving a plurality of digital signal bit
streams, detecting sizes of access units, as an encoding unit,
of the plural digital signal bit streams, and decode times
thereof, comparing the detected sizes of the access units at
each decode time, with each other to select a maximum value
thereof, providing a virtual stream composed of access units
each having a size identical to the selected maximum value at
each decode time, and packetizing each of the plural digital
signal bit streams, wherein the plural digital signal bit
streams are packetized by using padding packets each having a
size corresponding to a difference in size between each access
unit of the plural digital signal bit streams and that of the
virtual stream, when the size of the access unit of the plural
digital signal bit streams is less than the size of the access
unit of the virtual stream. In accordance with the present
invention, there are also provided an apparatus for encoding
the digital signal, a method for recording the digital signal
on a recording medium, and a method for transmitting the
digital signal.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and
methods are described which produces ultrasonic
images from harmonic echo components of a transmitted
fundamental frequency. Preferably, a programmable
digital filter is used to pass harmonic echo
components for image processing to the exclusion of
fundamental frequency signals. In a preferred
embodiment, artifacts are removed by producing
decorrelated replicas of the harmonic signals, which
are then combined and used for imaging. To produce
an image in the presence of depth dependent
attenuation of high frequency echo signals, both
fundamental and harmonic echo signals are processed
and used to produce an image blended from components
of both fundamental and harmonic echo signals.

Abstract: A network switch including a plurality of first network ports, a plurality of second network
ports, a first bus, a second bus and a bridge interface coupled between the first and second buses.
The first ports receive and transmit network data according to a first network protocol and the
second ports receive and transmit network data according to a second network protocol. The first
and second buses operate according to different bus standards. The bridge interface enables data
transfer between the first and second buses and thus between the networks operating at different
protocols. The switch includes a switch manager that controls the flow of network data and a
processor for performing supervisory and control functions. The bridge interface includes receive
buffers and transmit buffers assigned to respective ports. During packet data transfer operations
across the first bus, the bridge interface emulates a first network port. During packet data transfer
operations across the second bus, the bridge interface primarily acts as a slave to the second
network ports by storing control lists for execution by the second network ports. This processor is
relieved of performing necessary overhead functions associated with the second bus and is thus
freed to perform other important switch functions.

Abstract: A printer responds to a media gloss measurement for improved
color printing. The printer (102) includes a gloss meter (121), a controller (110),
and a print engine (130). The gloss meter (121) includes a solid body (210)
having a source tube (212) and a reflection tube (214) each being integral within
the body. An LED (216) in the source tube (212) illuminates a reference surface
(124, 320) at an angle of incidence (228). A photo sensor (222) in the
reflection tube (214) responds to a first reference spectral reflection from the
surface at an angle of reflection (226) equal to the angle of incidence (228).
When a sheet of media (410) is registered by the printer (102) against the
reference surface (124, 320), the photo sensor (222) responds to a second
spectral reflection from the media (410). The ratio of second to first spectral
reflection intensities is compared to a selected threshold (522) to identify the
media by gloss level. When motion of the media is resumed (516, 534), the
media wipes the reference surface (534) to maintain the accuracy of gloss
measurements. The angle of incidence (228) is less than thirty degrees for
discriminating among media having low gloss characteristics.
