Patent number: 6788791Abstract: The invention provides method and apparatus that utilize a plurality of port sub-arrays, in which each port sub-array comprises a plurality of acoustical ports. The ports of each port sub-array are spaced so that each port sub-array responds to acoustical signals that are generated by acoustical sources within an associated frequency range. In an embodiment of the invention, associated frequency ranges are related in a harmonic manner, in which each port sub-array corresponds to different frequency octaves. The associated frequency range is a portion of the total frequency range of an acoustical system. Received acoustical signals from each of the port sub-arrays are coupled over acoustical pathways and are converted into electrical signals by capsules that may be mounted in a capsule mounting. The electrical signals may be filtered, such as to reduce spatial aliasing, and post processed to further enhance the characteristics of the signals.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2002Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Shure IncorporatedInventors: Steven S. Smith, Richard J. Santiago, Mark Gilbert, Alan J. Usdrowski

Publication number: 20020081017Abstract: In the registration of images on a substrate, a substrate parameter is determined for the substrate. A bin data set defining a plurality of bins that each delimit a range of substrate parameters and have an associated bin instruction is retrieved. The particular bin that contains the determined substrate parameter and its associated bin instruction is identified. In response to this bin instruction, the determination of the substrate parameter is repeated, the substrate is rejected, or an image is scaled and registered on the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2000Publication date: June 27, 2002Inventors: Steven S.

Patent number: 5430862Abstract: The emulator includes first and second pipelined stages connected through a bidirectional bus for executing source instructions normally executed by a different/source computer in a highly overlapped manner. The first stage includes an emulator chip which performs the function of fetching and decoding each source instruction stored in cache memory resulting in the generation of a number of vector addresses required for executing the instruction by the second stage. The second stage includes a high performance microprocessor chip having on-chip instruction and data caches for storing a plurality of emulation subroutines and data fetched during subroutine execution. In pipelined fashion, the emulator chip fetches and decodes each source instruction which generates a vector branch address which is loaded into the branch vector register while the microprocessor chip fetches and executes emulation subroutines specified by the vector address transferred via the bus for each previously decoded source instruction.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1990Date of Patent: July 4, 1995Assignee: Bull HN Information Systems Inc.Inventors: Steven S.

Patent number: 5287522Abstract: A system includes first and second processing units which are interconnected by a bidirectional bus. The first processing unit is a microprocessor chip programmed for executing procedures stored in an on-chip instruction cache unit. The second processing unit receives requests from an external source such as a system bus. The microprocessor chip includes a branch vector facility which connects to the bus. The second processing unit in response to an external request, generates a vector branch address. The processing unit transfers the vector branch address to the branch vector facility for storage along with setting a write indicator. The microprocessor chip, upon detecting that the write indicator was set, branches to the procedure specified by the branch vector address for executing the instructions of the procedure to carry out those operations required for processing the external request or event.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1990Date of Patent: February 15, 1994Assignee: Bull HN Information Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard P. Brown, Thomas F. Joyce, Steven S. Smith
