Abstract:

A method for dynamically registering multiple patterned layers on a substrate () comprises: depositing a first layer on the substrate; printing a first pattern () on the first layer; depositing a second layer on the first pattern; and printing a second pattern on the second layer while dynamically detecting the first pattern to align the second pattern with the first pattern.

International Classification:

G09G 3/34

US Classification:

345 84, 345 87, 345690

Abstract:

A method for improving liquid crystal spatial light modulator () uniformity is disclosed wherein an original code value () is obtained for a first pixel and a conditioned code value () is assigned to the first pixel. The conditioned code value is determined by characterizing the luminance response of a sample pixel of the spatial light modulator and defining an interpolation zone () for code values bounded between a minimum luminance code value and a threshold code value () for the sample pixel. The threshold value corresponds to a luminance level at which there is a generally linear relationship of luminance to code values. If the original code value lies within the interpolation zone, an interpolated value is calculated as the conditioned code value. The pixel of the spatial light modulator is modulated according to the conditioned code value.

Abstract:

The system according to the present invention includes a light-diffusing screen having a projected image that includes the intrinsic random optical patterns superimposed on a scene image. An electronic photosensor is used to capturing the scene image and an image processor employs algorithms that reduce the random optical patterns that are inherent to the light-diffusing screen.

International Classification:

H04B 7/216

US Classification:

370342

Abstract:

A code division multiple access (CDMA) communications device includes a CDMA receiver to isolate a CDMA signal, and a processor to generate a quantized sample representation of the CDMA signal. The processor performs a hard correlation between the quantized sample representation of the CDMA signal and a quantized representation of a reference to generate a coarse time alignment. Based upon the coarse time alignment, the processor performs a soft correlation between actual values of the CDMA signal and the reference.

International Classification:

US Classification:

156387

Abstract:

Apparatus is provided for digital printing images in annular-radial coordinates onto discs having an axis of rotation, the printing to occur between an inner radius R. sub. 1 of the disc and an outer radius R. sub. 2 of the disk. The Apparatus includes a linear printhead array extending radially of the disc at least between inner radius R. sub. 1 and outer radius R. sub. 2 ; and a drive adapted to rotate the disc about the axis while the printhead is imagewise addressed to create an imaged area that is symmetric to the center of the disc. The drive is adapted to rotate the disc at an annular velocity such that the spatial resolution of the printed image along the outer edge of the image is the same as that of an original image being printed. The image area may be continuous about substantially the entire annular surface of the disc or divided into discrete sections to be printed in associated tiles located on the disc such that: (x. sub. i, y. sub. i)=>(r. sub. i,. theta. sub. i), where (x. sub. i, y. sub.

International Classification:

B41J 2355

US Classification:

347211

Abstract:

A process for printing an image data signal, using a parallel input print head which has an input data bus which is narrower than the image data signal, includes the steps of splitting the image data signal into multiple data groups such that each data group (1) has a maximum allowable width equal to the width of the input data bus and (2) consists of consecutive binary value bits of the image data signal. The data groups are loaded to the print head, and the data of the one data group is printed according to its binary weighting in the image data signal. The loading and printing steps are repeated for each data group. The printing step comprises deamplifying the value of the bits of the data groups and amplifying a printer's output by a factor according to the binary weighting of each data group being printed.
