Abstract: A surface waveguide structure and method of making same. A substrate material consisting either of a piezoelectric ceramic or ferroelectric crystal, is selectively poled by an electric field so as to form an elastic surface wave channel within the substrate structure. The electric field applied cross the substrate causes a polarization of the crystalline structure in those areas influenced by the electric field and has a negligible effect in those areas not exposed to the electric field. The free surface wave velocity is substantially increased in the polarized areas of the substrate and remains unchanged in the unpolarized regions. Poling of the substrate is accomplished by applying an electric field across a pair of electrodes which cover the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate except for a narrow region between the transmitting and receiving surface wave transducers. The process for manufacturing the surface waveguide structure is applicable to both acoustic and optical surface waveguiding devices. Also, the polarization of the substrate may be selectively altered by subsequent application of electric fields across the body of the substrate to make switchable waveguide regions.

Abstract: An integrated acoustic surface wave device is provided by this disclosure wherein a piezoelectric field associated with an acoustic surface wave causes a material adjacent to the surface to transform from one physical state to another physical state. The changes in state due to the presence of the piezoelectric wave are utilized to detect, amplify and store information. The presence of the piezoelectric wave controls external physical quantities, e.g., voltage and current, for information processing and storage. In particular, an amorphous semiconducting material is deposited on the surface of a piezoelectric surface wave acoustic delay line at a location where the presence of the traversing piezoelectric wave is to be detected. Contact electrodes are provided on the amorphous material and are connected to an external electrical circuit wherein there is a voltage source and a load means. The voltage source provides an electric field in the amorphous material of a value below that necessary to achieve the threshold value for switching the material from a high-voltage and low-current state to a highcurrent and low-voltage state. In this manner, the piezoelectric field of the acoustic surface wave which transiently appears at the amorphous material when added to the externally applied electric field causes it to switch states and thereby gives rise to a pulse indication in the external electrical circuit. Accordingly, an integrated apparatus in accordance with this disclosure includes a piezoelectric surface wave delay line and an amorphous semiconductor film. A transducer on the surface of the piezoelectric crystal generates piezoelectric surface waves therein, and a local receiving transducer which serves as the electrodes for the amorphous semiconductor film intercepts the piezoelectric surface wave. The electric field associated with the surface wave supplements a bias electric field at the amorphous semiconductor film and causes the states thereof to switch and provides an indication of the presence of the piezoelectric wave in the external electric circuit connected to the amorphous film.

Abstract: A method of data compression which allows an enlarged font of complex characters to be produced by scaling from data representing a stored font of complex characters is disclosed. The scaling procedure involves the insertion of horizontal and vertical lines into the stored font to effect vertical and horizontal expansion, respectively, of the stored fonts. These lines are inserted so as to preserve the basic shape of the characters according to the following procedure. First, the dot matrix of each character is partitioned into sections, each containing a very pronounced and recognizable portion of the character. Then a decision is made in which sections to insert lines so that enlargement is attained without distorting the basic overall shape of the character. Next, a decision is made where in the sections the lines are to be inserted. Finally, a decision is made as to what the inserted lines are to look like. The results of these decisions are stored with data representing the stored font as side information so that an enlarged version of the font can be generated on the fly without need of arithmetic processing. A refinement of this basic technique additionally stores a sparse matrix containing the error of the generated matrix as compared with the original one. This additional information permits the generation of the exact duplicate of the original font.

Abstract: COMPLEX CHARACTER GENERATOR A character compaction and generation method and apparatus which is particularly adapted to the generation of complex characters such as Kanji characters. A dot matrix defining a given character is compacted into a sparse matrix, with the original character being reconstructed for printing or display from the compacted character defined in the sparse matrix. Each character in the complex character set is compacted and stored in memory one time only, with decompaction being performed each time a given character is to be generated. A set of symbols are defined to represent different patterns which occur frequently in the entire complex character set. Different combinations of the symbols define a given character. The information stored for each sparse matrix representing a given character is comprised of each symbol in the sparse matrix, its position, and its size parameter if the symbol represents a family of patterns which differ only in size.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dot matrix printer which makes use of multiple dot patterns distributed on the cylinder, belt, hand or drum of a line printer to provide an improved printing throughput for an all addressable line printer. In a dothelix matrix printer, different arrangements of the dots are used which can be varied in position and spacing to increase printing speed. On a belt, band or drum line printer, multiple dot patterns are given a predetermined distribution. More specifically, arrangements of dots are used which provide enhanced performance due to the fact that they are determined by an analysis of the statistical occurrence of a particular dot pattern in a character set. The higher statistical probability dot patterns are used more often on the belt, band or drum.
