A method and apparatus for processing gray level image data. Gray level image data is subjected to plural separate halftone screen processing to form plural separate halftone processed screen gray level image data. The current pixel is also analyzed for contrast index. In response to analysis of the contrast index blending coefficients for processing of the halftone screen modified image data is made. The respective halftone outputs of the screen processings are multiplied by the respective blending coefficient. The resulting blended halftone gray value of the current pixel as well as neighboring pixels are then subjected to a threshold criterion test to determine if this represents a substantially binary image file such as might occur in a saturated text image file. The blended halftone gray value data for the current pixel is subjected to gray level edge enhancement processing to replace certain binary pixels adjacent an edge to reduce anti-aliasing effects. A signal resulting from the threshold criterion test is used to determine whether there is output to the printer or display of an edge enhanced version of the current blended halftone pixel or a pixel value representing the blended halftone pixel.

Improvements in compositions, composites, and methods for construction of weather resistant and insulated roofs are disclosed. The type of roofs to which these improvements apply are typically known as built up roofs. Built up roofs feature a substrate as an inner layer normally adjacent to and attached to the exterior of an unimproved roof surface. This invention is directed to improved foamed resin substrates used in such roof constructions. Alternating layers of hot asphalt and roofing felt are applied to the foam substrate layer. In prior art roofs, the foamed resin substrates could not withstand the direct application of hot molten asphalt to the foam surface which necessitated use of an isolation layer between the foamed resin layer and the first asphalt layer. This invention discloses compositions, composites, and methods involving direct application of hot asphalt to specially formulated and thermally resistant polyester foam resin substrate layers at temperatures up to 500° F. These improved compositions, composites, and methods not only reduce labor and material costs but also produce roofs that score higher on standard tests used for rating such roofing constructions.

Standard test methods for determining one-dimensional consolidation properties of soils using incremental loading in accordance with ASTM D2435, or AASHTO 216, and of those of other international and organizations, do not accurately predict the values of vertical settlement, coefficients of consolidation in horizontal and vertical directions, and modulus of elasticity in vertical direction, because fixed ring used in these tests do not allow horizontal settlement and dissipation of excess pore-water pressures in horizontal direction, whereas, in field, under application of a vertical load, both horizontal and vertical settlements occur along with dissipation of excess pore-water pressures in both vertical and horizontal directions. To overcome this more than 100 year old problem, the inventor (Dr. Ramesh Chandra Gupta, Ph. D., P.E.) has invented a test device for determining three-dimensional consolidation properties of soils, using a flexible ring which permits development of horizontal and vertical displacements, and dissipation of excess pore-water pressures in both horizontal and vertical directions, along with increased lateral resistance as takes place in field at any depth in a soil deposit when vertical load at the surface is applied.

The flexible ring consists of filter fabric around the soil specimen, rubber membrane around the filter fabric, circular segmental metal plates around the membrane and elastomeric rubber bands or spring loaded jacket around the segmental plates, and allows horizontal and vertical displacements, dissipation of pore-water pressures in horizontal and vertical directions to take place with increased lateral resistance with each increment of vertical load like those in the field. Thus new test device simulates field condition to allow accurate determination of three-dimensional consolidation properties of soils (such as settlements, coefficients of consolidation in horizontal and vertical directions, and modulus of elasticity).

For this new test device, conventional incremental consolidation frame or triaxial type chamber system either with the triaxial loading system or modified to adapt to incremental consolidation frame, shall be used to perform three-dimensional consolidation tests.

Masks that include optical proximity correction or phase shifting regions are increasingly being used in the manufacturing process. These masks, either initially or after repair, can have “soft” defects, e.g. phase and/or transmission defects. In accordance with one feature of the invention, soft defect information can be computed from standard test images of a mask. This soft defect information can be used to generate an accurate simulated wafer image, thereby providing valuable defect impact information to a user. Knowing the impact of the soft defect can enable a user to make better decisions regarding the mask. Specifically, a user can now with confidence accept the mask for the desired lithographic process, repair the mask at certain critical locations, or reject the mask, all without exposing a wafer.

The invention effectively completes the selection and the control of every processor core and the storage and the feedback of debug information, so that the reliability is promoted.

The nonlinear complexity of EEG signals is believed to reflect the scale-free architecture of the neural networks in the brain. Analysis of the complexity and synchronization of EEG signals as described herein provides a quantitative measure for routine monitoring of functional brain development in infants and young children and provide a useful biomarker for detecting functional abnormalities in the brain before the cognitive, behavioral or social manifestations of these brain developments can be observed and measured by standard tests. One or more machine learning algorithms are used to discover relevant patterns in the complexity and synchronization values determined from the EEG data to facilitate risk assessment and/or diagnosis of developmental disorders in infants and young children by predicting cognitive, behavioral and social outcomes of the measured functional brain activity patterns.

A technique is described for performing critical parameter analysis (CPA) of a semiconductor device (DUT) by combining the capabilities of conventional automated test equipment (ATE) with a focused optical beam scanning device such as a laser scanning microscope (LSM). The DUT is provided with a fixture such that it can be simultaneously scanned by the LSM or a similar device and exercised by the ATE. The ATE is used to determine pass/fail boundaries of operation of the DUT. Repeatable pass/fail limits (for timing, levels, etc.) are determined utilizing standard test patterns and methodologies. The ATE vector pattern(s) can then be programmed to “loop” the test under a known passing or failing state. When light energy from the LSM scanning beam sufficiently disturbs the DUT to produce a transition (i.e., to push the device outside of its critical parameter limits), this transition is indicated on the displayed image of the DUT, indicating to the user which elements of the DUT were implicated in the transition.

According to the method, artificial participation and judgment during detection of the optical link are avoided; the operation and maintenance efficiency of the passive optical network can be improved; and the operation and maintenance cost is reduced.

A method is described for determining lens aberrations using a test reticle and a standard metrology tool. The method provides test patterns, preferably in the form of standard overlay metrology test patterns, that include blazed gratings having orientation and pitch selected to sample desired portions of the lens pupil. The method measures relative shifts in the imaged test patterns using standard metrology tools to provide both magnitude and sign of the aberrations. The metrology tools need not be modified if standard test patterns are used, but can be adapted to obtain additional information. The test reticles may be formed with multiple test patterns having a range of orientations and pitch in order to compute any desired order of lens aberration. Alternatively, single test patterns may be used to determine both the magnitude and sign of lower order lens aberrations, such as defocus or coma.
