    摘要: A method of modifying a digital representation of an image in which digital data defines the content of pixels of the image. The method comprisesa) determining whether a predetermined degree of compression can be achieved if data defining a block of pixels is compressed by applying a predetermined compression algorithm; and, if not,b) discarding a portion of the data in the block, andrepeating steps a and b on the most recently modified block until the predetermined degree of compression is achieved, and generating a compressed version of the image.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog conversion circuitry is provided wherein a switching network is adapted to couple, or decouple, a selected one, or ones, of a plurality of identical current sources to, or from, an output bus selectively in accordance with the digital word being converted to produce an output current through an output bus having a level related to such digital word. The switching network includes: a logic network for selectively combining the plurality of bits of the digital word to produce a plurality of control signals, at least one thereof being related to a plurality of the bits of the digital word; and, a plurality of switching transistors, each one thereof having: a control (or base) electrode coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of control signals; a first (or emitter) electrode coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of identical current sources; and a second (or collector) electrode coupled to the output bus, such current source being coupled to, or decoupled from, such output bus selectively in accordance with the control signal fed to the control electrode of the transistor coupled to such current source, the logic network produces the plurality of control signals with substantially equal switching level variations. With such arrangement, the level of current produced by each current source and its contribution to the total output current are independent of the digital word being coverted and the level of current contributing to the total current flow through the output bus is also independent of the digital word being converted. Further, the switching time of the switching transistors is also independent of the digital word being converted.

    摘要: A turbomachinery rotor comprising a rotatable hub and a composite blade attached to the periphery thereof. The blade comprises a plurality of bonded filament laminates extending between, and wrapped around, a pair of hollow, semicylindrical inserts at the blade root. The laminates are bonded to the inserts so as to form a cylindrical blade root profile for insertion into a complementary cylindrical groove in the periphery of the hub. A slotted pin is positioned within the inserts to prevent the root from collapsing under loadings and to retain the blade in the hub.
