  • Patent number: 9073235
    Abstract: A method for cutting a workpiece with a wire saw includes running at least one saw wire in a lateral direction. A first abrasive grain slurry is supplied to the saw wire on two points that are separated by a predetermined distance in a lateral direction. Cutting of the workpiece is started by moving at least one of the workpiece and the saw wire relative to the other and bringing the workpiece into contact with the saw wire from above at a location between the two points on the saw wire where the first abrasive grain slurry is supplied. A second abrasive grain slurry is supplied to a part of an area where the saw wire meshes with the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 5731838
    Abstract: In a moving picture data decoding apparatus, the storage of reference picture data in a picture memory is executed by dividing the picture memory into two memory areas. An address generator generates an address so that the reference picture data adjacent to the division may be doubly written into the two memory areas. As a result, the processing can be effected in a predetermined access time period irrespective of the read-out location.
