    摘要: Circuitry and method for transferring signals from a photoreceiver array (24) to computational circuitry (21) includes parallel transfer amplifiers (17) that receive periodic offset correction and includes DC removal amplifiers (19). In a first embodiment, each transfer amplifier has a differential circuit (46) that can be switched from a reset mode to a readout mode. In the readout mode, the voltage state at the output (108) is responsive to first and second inputs (74 and 76), with the second input being connected to a source (88) of a reference voltage. In the reset mode, the inputs are both connected to the reference voltage and the output is temporarily connected to a source (114) of a fixed reset voltage. An offset adjustment signal (144) is generated in response to detection of a voltage difference between the reset voltage and the actual voltage state at the output after the output has been disconnected from the source of the reset voltage. A single offset circuit is used to periodically and sequentially refresh the various transfer amplifiers. In a second embodiment, spatial frequency components of the outputs of the photoreceiver array are removed by DC removal amplifiers (208, 210 and 212). Each DC removal amplifier is assigned to a particular photoelement in the array, but receives outputs (232 and 234) from one or more other photoelements in the array. The output (236) of the amplifier is responsive to the differences between the analog signals input to the amplifier.

    摘要: A compiler that facilitates efficient insertion of explicit data prefetch instructions into loop structures within applications uses simple address expression analysis to determine data prefetching requirements. Analysis and explicit data cache prefetch instruction insertion are performed by the compiler in a machine-instruction level optimizer to provide access to more accurate expected loop iteration latency information. Such prefetch instruction insertion strategy tolerates worst-case alignment of user data structures relative to data cache lines. Execution profiles from previous runs of an application are exploited in the insertion of prefetch instructions into loops with internal control flow. Cache line reuse patterns across loop iterations are recognized to eliminate unnecessary prefetch instructions. The prefetch insertion algorithm is integrated with other low-level optimization phases, such as loop unrolling, register reassociation, and instruction scheduling. An alternative embodiment of the compiler limits the insertion of explicit prefetch instructions to those situations where the lower bound on the achievable loop iteration latency is unlikely to be increased as a result of the insertion.

    摘要: An article clip packaging machine (10) for applying carton members to the article rims of preselected article groups (12). The machine has a conveyor (52) with an infeed end for receiving preselected article groups. At least two carton member feeding structures (57, 73) are synchronized with the conveyor for placing carton base and carton top members (16, 17), respectively, on the preselected article groups. A securing assembly (15) attaches the carton base and top members to the rims of the article groups to provide article group carriers.

    摘要: A tunneling ferrimagnetic magnetoresistive sensor (10, 30, 110) that has a - R/R greater than that of known magnetoresistive sensors, and that, with appropriate electrode materials, can undergo a substantial change in resistance in response to a magnetic field in the intensity range of 10s of Oe, which is typical of the intensity of the magnetic fields encountered in magnetic recording media such as discs and tapes. The tunneling ferrimagnetic magnetoresistive sensor is composed of a stack of thin-film layers that include a layer (12) of a ferrimagnetic material, a layer (14) of a magnetic material, and a layer (16) of an insulator interposed between the layer of the ferrimagnetic material and the layer of the magnetic material. The ferrimagnetic material is conductive. The magnetic material is also conductive and has a coercivity substantially different from that of the ferrimagnetic material. The insulating layer is of a thickness that is sufficiently small to permit tunneling of current carriers between the layer of the ferrimagnetic material and the layer of the magnetic material.

    摘要: A color image editing system and method uses sensor responses in an image capture device to estimate and separate illuminant and surface reflectance in a scene. The system uses the estimated surface reflectances, along with a desired illuminant SPD, to calculate the corresponding XYZ values. To render the images on an imaging device , the XYZ values are converted into device-dependent display or printer values. The image data may be manipulated in a manner that is intuitive to humans, such as correcting the image data according to changes in lighting and surface color.
    An image capture device, such as a scanner or digital camera, represents a scene as image data that is resolved as device-dependent channels, such as RGB. For each channel, the spectral reflectances of the surfaces within the scene are described reflectance functions that are independnt of the lighting function that describes the illuminant spectral power distribution (SPD). Display operators can independently adjust the surface and lighting functions.
