Abstract: A multi-channel laser ROS scanner for simultaneously scanning laser beam components across multiple lines of a photosensitive surface including apparatus for determining deviations in the position of the surface from a desired position due to undesired photosensitive surface velocity variations whereby an error correction signal can be generated, and a TIR modulator having a plurality of interdigitated, addressable drive electrodes. The total number of drive electrodes N.sub.t of the TIR modulator is greater than the collective number of drive electrodes N.sub.s needed to provide the desired pixel resolution for all of the simultaneously scanned lines. When the photosensitive surface is maintained at a desired velocity, such velocity being determined in a conventional manner by system parameters, the surface is correctly positioned and N.sub.s adjacent drive electrodes located generally centrally within the TIR electrode configuration are addressed by the video data signals for the multiple scan lines, causing the laser beam components to exit the TIR modulator with an unshifted or "normal" propagation direction within the optical window of the modulator resulting in scan lines being recorded at desired positions on the photoreceptive surface. Should the photosensitive surface deviate from its desired position at a given time, the error signal functions to cause N.sub.s different adjacent drive electrodes to be addressed whereby the laser beam components exiting the TIR modulator are shifted in propagation direction such that they strike the photosensitive surface at a placement which corrects for the position deviation.

Abstract: One or more electrodes of an electro-optic device are supported on a separate substrate which is held in close contact with the electro-optic element of the device so that the electric fields that are created when voltages are applied to such electrodes are proximity coupled into the electro-optic element. Proximity coupling is especially advantageous for multi-gate light valves and the like where separate electrical connections have to be made to a multitude of electrodes because it permits those connections to be made remotely from the electro-optic element. However, the broader aspects of proximity coupling are applicable to electro-optic devices in general, including bulk and TIR electro-optic modulators and straight through and TIR multi-gate electro-optic light valves.

Abstract: The electronics for driving one or more electrodes of an electro-optic device, such as a multi-gate light valve for an electro-optic line printer, are embodied in an integrated electrical circuit, such as a LSI silicon integrated circuit. A conductive film, such as a metalization layer or a polysilicon layer, is deposited on the silicon circuit to electrically connect to the integrated drive electronics, and the electrodes are defined by patterning the conductive film. To complete the electro-optic device, the integrated circuit is held against an electro-optic element so that the electric fields created when voltages are applied to the electrodes are proximity coupled into the electro-optic element.

Abstract: A mapping arrangement for memory overlay wherein the address coordinates are referenced to a main serial memory. This main memory is partitioned into pages of equal size. An accelerator memory is concurrently loaded with a few pages representing a small portion of the main memory contents and is periodically overlayed with new memory contents on a page-at-a-time basis as the using system demands. During this overlay the fields of the accelerator memory are inscribed at corresponding main memory address coordinates together with code bits indicating whether certain memory fields go together and are therefore promoted as a single unit. The resulting effect is to cause an apparent increase in page size since more than one page is promoted as a consequence of a reference to a page not contained in the accelerator memory.

Abstract: A digital printer for printing images in response to full-frame, two-dimensional digital image data input from an outside source. The digital printer is a novel combination of a two dimensional backlight for producing full frame illumination in a single flash, a photoreceptor sensitive to light emanating from the backlight, a two-dimensional, transmissive light valve, an imaging system, and a driver. The light valve is disposed between the backlight and the photoreceptor so that light from the backlight is transmitted through the light valve, producing a full-frame, two dimensional image on the photoreceptor in response to a single flash of the backlight. The full-frame, two dimensional image corresponds to a pattern formed on the light valve in response to the full-frame, two dimensional digital image data. The imaging system is disposed between the light valve and the photoreceptor, such that it focuses the full-frame, two dimensional image onto the photoreceptor. The driver is coupled to the light valve, the backlight and the outside source. The driver couples the full-frame, two dimensional digital image data from the outside source to the light valve. The driver also synchronizes the backlight with the light valve such that the backlight flash exposes the light valve after the pattern is set on the light valve in response to the full-frame, two dimensional digital image data.

Abstract: A memory control processor adapted to expand a random access or accelerator memory by logical overlays which performs these overlays into memory fields (pages) on the basis of page usage history. To provide a quick reference to page use a chronological sequence is established by links rather than by reordering a stack. This link sequence is tied by very limited leads to the rest of the memory control processor and can therefore be updated during each memory access. In addition the memory control processor includes a task priority logic integrating various competing memory access requests with the overlay operations. To achieve the various transfer modes in the quickest time the memory control processor is organized around a wide control memory storing the task servicing sequences. The width of the control memory and the associated task logic allow general purpose microprogrammable direct memory access which may further be utilized in multiplexed fashion to accommodate various concurrent tasks.

Abstract: A distributed function processing system utilizing a conventional microprocessor operated as a text processor in combination with a plurality of other autonomous processing devices arranged to operate in a coherent processing system. One of the autonomous processors which is a memory control processor serves to periodically overlay a random access accelerator memory with the contents of a main memory system and concurrently resolves conflicts among various other autonomous memory service requests. This processor, therefore, accommodates the data rates of the main memory. The other processor is a display processor which generates signals to a video display system to provide a visual interface to the user and is therefore tied to the video rate. Accordingly, the processing burden is distributed within processors entailing differing rates operating autonomously. The memory control processor resolves and accommodates all of the memory service requests in the system and also performs control operations to support high speed I/O devices. Logic is provided to handle the other interrupts. Also, there is page mapping for context switching of a reference page and repeating logic for decoupling this processor from the other processors. This arrangement allows convenient expansion into plural work stations each sharing a common memory.
