Abstract: A surface shape recognition apparatus includes
a detection circuit, comparison circuit, storage circuit,
and control circuit. The detection circuit electrically
detects a surface shape pattern in a partial region of
the target collation surface of an object using a
plurality of sensor elements and outputs detection data
representing the surface shape pattern. The comparison
circuit compares the detection data from the detection
circuit with predetermined collation data and outputs a
comparison result. The storage circuit stores template
data representing the surface shape pattern of the
entire target collation surface, the template data being
obtained from the object in advance. The control
circuit partially reads out, as collation data, the
template data stored in the storage circuit from an
arbitrary position, outputs the collation data to the
comparison circuit, and performs determination for
authentication between the template data and the object
on the basis of the comparison result from the
comparison circuit. A surface shape recognition method
is also disclosed.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: In a switched configuration in which data links can be bundled to
increase data throughput, the links in a bundle are ordered. A data sender
sequentially transmits cells in the data packet over links in the bundle. For example, a
first cell is transmitted over a first ordered link in the bundle. The next cell is
transmitted over the next link in the bundle order and operation continues in a "round
robin" fashion. The data receiver is informed in advance of the order of links in the
bundle and expects cells to be distributed over the links in that order. The data sender
transmits a bundle sequence number with each data cell. As each new data cell is
transmitted, the bundle sequence number is incremented. The receiver uses the
bundle sequence number to validate cell order, to detect lost cells, and to
resynchronize cell order with the sender in the case of cell errors. Bundle sequence
numbers are used on a single bundle on a single link, or "hop", between a data sender
and a data receiver. When the cells are received by the data receiver of a hop, the
received bundle sequence numbers are replaced by new bundle sequence numbers
generated by the data sender for transmission over the next hop.

Abstract: Defective pixels in a CMOS array give rise to spot noise
that diminishes the integrity of the resulting image. Because
CMOS arrays and digital logic can be fabricated on the same
integrated circuit using the same processing technology and
relatively inexpensive and fast circuit can be employed to
digitally filter the pixel data stream and to identify pixels
having values that do not fall in the range defined by the
immediately neighboring pixels and the deviate from the
neighboring pixels by more than a threshold amount. Such
conditions would indicate that the deviation is caused by a
defective pixel rather than by desired image data. The
threshold amount can be preprogrammed or can be provided by a
user or can be dynamically set using feedback indicating image
quality. The filter would also provide a solution for other
sensors such as CCD.

Abstract: This invention relates in general to database management
systems performed by computers, and in particular, to
database management systems that support on-line analytical
processing (OLAP). 
     The present invention teaches a means and a computerized
method for automatically determining one or more variable
dimensions for a multi-dimensional database table, whereby
the multi-dimensional database table also comprises at least
one pre-defined measure dimension for storing values of one
or more measure types. 
     The current invention suggests to treat for the purpose of
determination of the variable dimensions a multitude of input
records as an implicit, yet unknown functional relationship
between the measure types (as a dependent variables) and the
variable types (as independent variables). Based on this
insight it is then suggested to calculate a regression
function as a prediction model for the (dependent) measure
types based on the (independent) variable types utilizing the
multitude of input records. The most significant variable
types contributing to this prediction model are then selected
as variable dimensions for the multidimensional database
table, i.e. as the OLAP cube dimensions.

Abstract: In a state that a wafer stage (10) is not positioned
in the center of the Y-direction traveling range, thrusts
(Fa,Fb) supplied from a pair of linear motors (5a,5b) to a Y-direction
stage (3) are made different and the Y-direction
stage is moved in the X direction so that moments (Ma=Fa x La, Mb= Fb x Lb)
about the centroid (GS) of the Y-direction stage by the thrusts
(Fa,Fb) cancel each other. Since the moments (Ma,Mb) about
the centroid generated by the thrusts cancel each other and
the thrusts do not act as forces for rotating the Y-direction
stage, the Y-direction stage is not deflected in
a yawing direction. Such a stage device as constructed
above can prevent deflection in a yawing direction due to
displacement of the centroid position of an object to be
positioned or a stage and precisely move the object to be
positioned to a target position.
