Abstract: An object based computer system has viewers which may be directed around the object world of the system. A coupling facility is provided whereby viewers may be linked equally or in a hierarchy so that information is passed between them concerning the objects being viewed. Viewers may thus follow one another voluntarily or automatically for mutual working, demonstration or tuition, for example.

Abstract: Means are provided which aid in generating programmes for testing digital modules. Formal hierarchical descriptions (e.g. in Prolog) of the module without and with a defined fault are stored in a storage device (10) comprising two stores (12 and 13), backed up by a submodule store (14). The two module descriptions are fed into registers (15 and 16). Then, repeatedly, (a) an unfolding processor (17) works down the hierarchy, (b) a simplification processor (18) simplifies the descriptions using a variety of logical and arithmetical rules, and (c) a discrimination condition extraction processor (19) extracts discrimination conditions which are common to both module descriptions and necessary (i.e. must be satisfied as part of the final test programme). Processor (19) has discrimination condition storage means (21) and discrimination condition consistency checking means (22) coupled to it. Units (18, 19 and 22) use common rules, stored in a logical rules store (23), which rely heavily on expressions of the if-then-else form. Processor (18) may allow operator intervention so that the operator may guide and/or perform certain simplifications and/or their order. Thus a sequence of discrimination conditions is found, acting to gradually focus down onto the point where the two modules - sound and faulty - differ. (From these, it is then straightforward to generate an actual test programme.)

Abstract: The optical component (100, 300, 400, 500, 550, 580, 600) comprises a first I/O port (102 or 112, 302 or 312), a second I/O port (112 or 102, 312 or 302, 552, 582) and a polarization-changing optical element (108, 308, 408, 508, 608) located between the first I/O port and the second I/O port. The second I/O port is optically aligned with the first I/O port. The first I/O port (e.g., 102) includes a first opposed walk-off crystal pair (120A) and a second opposed walk-off crystal pair (120B). The second opposed walk-off crystal pair is a mirror image of the first opposed walk-off crystal pair. Each opposed walk-off crystal pair comprises two walk-off crystals (128, 130). Each walk-off crystal has a walk-off direction (140, 142). Each walk-off crystal includes an attachment face (132, 134) substantially parallel to the walk-off direction, a first face (122) orthogonal to the attachment faces, and a second face (126) opposite the first face. The walk-off crystals are attached to one another with their attachment faces in contact, and their walk-off directions opposed. The opposed walk-off directions (140A, 142A) of the walk-off crystals (128A, 130A) of the first opposed walk-off directions (140A, 142A) of the walk-off crystals (128A, 130A) of the first opposed walk-off crystal pair (120A) and the opposed walk-off directions (140B, 142B) of the walk-off crystals (128B, 130B) of the second opposed walk-off crystal pair (120B) define opposite rotational directions. The opposed walk-off crystal pairs (120A, 120B) are attached to one another with the second face (126A) of one in contact with the first face (122A) of the other, and with the walk-off directions (140A, 142A) of the one orthogonal to the walk-off directions (140B, 142B) of the other.

Abstract: In compression of a binary bitmap of a symbol, in order to achieve a high compression ratio, a development of run-length encoding is employed in which the symbol is considered as being made up of a plurality of strokes, and each stroke is considered as being made up of a plurality of continuous lines. Each stroke is encoded by encoding each line or group of lines of that stroke by one of a plurality of encoding methods to form a line code; and presenting the line codes as a stream in the order in which the lines appear in that stroke, at least some of the lines each being encoded in dependence upon their position and length relative to the preceding line in that stroke. The streams of the line codes for the strokes are then presented in sequence as a set. The separation of the symbol into a plurality of strokes removes the need to encode the white space between those strokes, as it can be inferred to be background. By contrast, with simple run-length encoding, such white space tends to produce long variable-length runs which do not compress well. By suitable choice of the encoding methods, specific features of symbols (or parts them) can be taken into account to produce a compression ratio which is perhaps more than twice that which is achievable using simple run-length encoding. Many symbols have a high degree of correlation between vertically adjacent horizontal pixel rows, even after splitting into a plurality of strokes, and this can be taken advantage of to produce high compression ratios.

Abstract translation: 在压缩符号的二进制位图时，为了实现高压缩率，采用游程长度编码的开发，其中该符号被认为是由多个笔画组成，并且每个笔画被认为是 由多条连续线组成。 通过用多个编码方法之一编码该笔画的每一行或一组线来形成行代码来编码每个笔画; 并且以线的顺序将行代码呈现为行，其中线在该笔画中出现，至少一些行根据它们在该笔画中的前一行的位置和长度而被编码。 然后，针对笔划的行代码的流按顺序呈现为一组。 将符号分离成多个笔画可以消除编码这些笔画之间的空白区域的需要，因为它可以被推断为背景。 相比之下，使用简单的游程长度编码，这样的空白区域往往会产生很长的可变长度运行，这种长度不能很好地压缩。 通过编码方法的适当选择，可以考虑符号（或其部分）的特定特征以产生可能是使用简单游程长度编码可实现的两倍的压缩比。 即使在分割成多个笔划之后，许多符号在垂直相邻的水平像素行之间具有高度的相关性，并且这可以利用于产生高压缩比。

Abstract: This disclosure provides a memory system and device for synchronizing response across multiple memory devices (105), whether arranged serially upon a single data bus, in parallel across multiple data busses (107), or both. A memory controller (103) periodically configures the system (101) by separately placing each memory chip (105) into a configuration mode. While in this mode, the chip (105) is polled by the controller (103) along the corresponding data bus (107), and the chip (105) responds with a reply. The controller (103) uses this reply to compute elapsed time between polling and the reply. Using all of the chips (105), the controller (103) determines the maximum response time, in termes of elapsed clock cycles. Based on this maximum time, and the individual response times for each chip, the controller (103) then programs each chip (105) with a number which defines chip-based delay (149) for responses to data read operations. In this manner, successive data reads can be performed on successive clock cycles without awaiting prior completion of earlier data reads. In addition, in a multiple data bus system, the controller (103) is not delayed by having to wait for all simultaneous data reads across a wide bus.

Abstract translation: 本公开提供了一种用于在多个存储器设备（105）之间同步响应的存储器系统和设备，无论是在单个数据总线上串行排列，跨越多个数据总线（107）并行跨越。 存储器控制器（103）通过将每个存储器芯片（105）分别放置在配置模式中来周期性地配置系统（101）。 而在这种模式中，芯片（105）由控制器（103）沿对应的数据总线（107）轮询，芯片（105）作出回应。 控制器（103）使用该答复来计算轮询和回复之间的经过时间。 使用所有芯片（105），控制器（103）根据经过的时钟周期来确定最大响应时间。 基于这个最大时间和每个芯片的各个响应时间，控制器（103）然后用一个数字来编程每个芯片（105），该数字定义基于芯片的延迟（149）以响应数据读取操作。 以这种方式，可以在连续的时钟周期上执行连续的数据读取，而不等待先前数据读取的先前完成。 此外，在多数据总线系统中，控制器（103）不需要等待跨越宽总线的所有同时数据读取而被延迟。
