An image processing apparatus is provided for processing a plurality of sets of projection data acquired by radiating an X-ray onto an object in a multitude of directions. The apparatus has a correcting unit and a reconstructing unit. The correcting unit corrects the projection data with regard to beam hardening of the projection data. The beam hardening is caused due to a contrast agent injected into the object. For example, the correcting unit includes a correction table defining a correcting value to a change in densities of a region in which the contrast agent is present and corrects the projection data on the basis of the correcting value obtained from the correction table. The reconstructing unit reconstructs the corrected projection data into an image of the object. Thus, artifacts due to beam hardening resultant from use of the contrast agent can be avoided.

A circuit (10) for multiplying two floating point operands (A and C) while adding or subtracting a third floating point operand (B) removes latency associated with normalization and rounding from a critical speed path for dependent calculations. An intermediate representation of a product and a third operand are selectively shifted to facilitate use of prior unnormalized dependent resultants. Logic circuitry (24, 42) implements a truth table for determining when and how much shifting should be made to intermediate values based upon a resultant of a previous calculation, upon exponents of current operands and an exponent of a previous resultant operand. Normalization and rounding may be subsequently implemented, but at a time when a new cycle operation is not dependent on such operations even if data dependencies exist.

A Web-information manager that is to take locally stored copies of a Web page and the files to which it refers employs two versions of a downloaded Web page if the Web page includes a client-side script. One, “source” version is the one that results from downloading the page with scripting execution disabled. The other, “reference” version is one that results from executing the script. It then locally stores copies of the files referred to by the resultant (potentially script-modified) reference version. And any links in the source version that refer to files thus copied are revised to refer to the local copies. It is this source version, unmodified by the script but updated to refer to local copies of the referred-to files, that is stored for later review.

An apparatus and associated method are disclosed which form a multiple beam forming network using time division multiplexing. Instead of having several parallel sets of beam forming network hardware running at a given sampling clock rate, a simpler, single piece of hardware is run at a faster rate equal to the given sampling clock rate times the number of beams to be formed. Each sample received from each element is time division multiplexed into a bit stream, one for each beam.

This process is repeated for the next set of time division multiplexed samples and weights from each element of the array at a given time to form the next beam. The process is repeated for all beams until the sampling time interval ends.
