A data source on a main local area network (LAN) transmits broadcast messages via bridges to remote stations. A ring buffer in a bridge on the main LAN buffers a selected number of packets received from the data source. When the main bridge on the main LAN receives a "Lost Frame Message" from a remote bridge, not on the main LAN, the main bridge backs up to the address of the lost packet in the ring buffer, and retransmits the lost packet and then continues sequential transmission of subsequent packets. If buffer is, filled above a pre-set criteria, retransmission is slowed or stopped until buffer is mostly emptied.

An image population having a large number of attributes is processed to form a display population with a predetermined smaller number of attributes which represent the larger number of attributes. In a particular application, the color values in an image are compressed for storage in a discrete lookup table (LUT) where an 8-bit data signal is enabled to form a display of 24-bit color values. The LUT is formed in a sampling and averaging process from the image color values with no requirement to define discrete Voronoi regions for color compression. Image color values are assigned 8-bit pointers to their closest LUT value whereby data processing requires only the 8-bit pointer value to provide 24-bit color values from the LUT.

An interface device called an adapter is provided for interconnecting data terminal equipment (DTE) to a communication highway. The adapter includes a plurality of command/status registers coupled through a decoding device to the data bus and control lines of a microprocessor. An Internal Modem Interface (IMI) circuit arrangement monitors the decoding device and command/status registers and depending on the contents of the command/status registers and/or the status of the signals on the interface the IMI enables/disables the receive and transmit logic functions of the adapter. The adapter also includes a circuit arrangement which monitors traffic or signals on the data highway without affecting the electrical characteristics of the traffic.

A holographic laser beam deflector has an approximately flat field scan. The scan is produced by illuminating a rotating hologram on a circular surface by a laser beam. The virtual source of the illuminating beam is offset from the center of rotation of the hologram. The hologram is produced by interference of a pair of coherent laser beams, each beam having a source or virtual source on a line containing the rotational center of the surface of the hologram, one source or virtual source outside the surface, the other inside. The virtual source for the inside beam is also displaced from the center of rotation.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting tampering of devices such as fiscal printers. A memory module includes a volatile memory that stores multi-bit data. An operation module allows operation of an electronic device, such as a fiscal printer, in response to determining that the predefined multi-bit data is stored in the volatile memory. A detection module detects an attempt to access the enclosed device where access to the enclosed device is restricted by an enclosure. A tamper switch module disconnects power to the volatile memory such that the predefined multi-bit data stored in the volatile memory is erased in response to the detection module detecting an attempted access to the enclosed device. A shutdown module disables operation of the electronic device in response to determining that the predefined multi-bit data is not stored in the volatile memory.
摘要:
In order to reduce data storage and transmission bandwidth requirements, a high resolution gray scale image is represented in two separate image forms, namely, a high resolution, high sampling density black and white image and a lower resolution, lower sampling density gray scale image. Generating separate black and white and gray scale image data allows the use of either image form independently. The high resolution black and white image data and the low resolution gray scale image data may be recombined subsequently to produce reconstructed high resolution gray scale image data representing the image.

A scanner for scanning an increased area of a finger held or pressed on a concave elliptically cylindrical surface having two focal axes includes a linear light source positioned at one focal axis of a first reflective cylindrical elliptical surface, the other focal axis coinciding with one focal axis of the concave elliptical surface in contact with the finger. A second reflective, cylindrical elliptical surface has two focal axes where one of the axes coincides with the position of a linear array combination of photosensitive elements and charged coupled devices and the other coincides with the other focal axis of the concave elliptical surface in contact with the finger. The linear light source resides within a scanning drum having a longitudinal opening or slit and suitable rotated whereby a line of light is projected along the cylindrical elliptical surface of the first reflective surface whereby light rays are reflected to the finger contact surface to scan a finger held thereon and then totally internally reflected to the second reflective surface and then reflected therefrom as an image on the linear array.
摘要:
An analog video data signal digitization and correction system scans a medium to produce video data signals representing images printed on the medium. Two reference quantities representing analog reference signals produced by scanning a densely printed image and an area of the medium having no printed image are used to establish the maximum and minimum values of a range of possible values for each video data signal. The analog video data signals are compared with this range and a corrected digital value obtained for each data signal depending on its position in the range. In generating the reference quantities each analog reference signal is converted into a digital reference signal dependent on the position of the analog signal in a range of possible values. For each analog reference signal only a portion of the range of possible values is selected in order to increase the accuracy of the corresponding digital reference signal. The number of bits in the digital reference signal is kept low but the accuracy of each digital reference signal remains high. In converting each digital reference signal into an analog reference quantity additional high order bits are added to the digital reference signal so that each analog reference quantity has the same accuracy as its corresponding digital reference signal.
