Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a process station for processing a substrate; a cassette station integrated with the process station; a substrate carriage equipped for transferring the substrate between said process station and the cassette station through a passage located at an interface between the process station and said cassette station; and a substrate scanner equipped at said interface between the process station and the cassette station for capturing surface image data during transportation of the substrate that passes through the passage.

Abstract: An information tab protection device for a tire includes at least one frame protruding from an outer surface of one of the sidewalls and an information tab is connected to the sidewalls having the at least one frame and is enclosed by the at least one frame.

Abstract: A tire includes a tread rubber layer, a conductive layer located beneath the tread rubber layer and a reinforcement layer located at side periphery of the tread rubber layer and the conductive layer. Tread grooves are defined in a top surface of the tread tuber layer and a protection protrusion extends along each top edge of the tread grooves and protrudes beyond the top surface of the tread rubber layer. The conductive layer has at least one discharge terminal which is connected to an inner periphery of the tread groove. The at leas tone discharge terminal is exposed after the protection protrusions are worn out.

Abstract: A receiver is provided for receiving a digital data stream over a communication path. The digital data is arranged as a sequence of frames, each frame including a plurality of lines of data. The beginning of each frame is indicated by a frame synchronization word; the beginning of each line is indicated by a horizontal synchronization byte. The data is interleaved by an encoder prior to transmission. The decoder contains circuitry for locating the horizontal and frame synchronization data and contains circuitry for deinterleaving the digital data. Both the synchronization locating circuitry and the deinterleaving circuitry require access to a memory, but not at the same time. Therefore, a single memory is used with the synchronization recovery circuitry and deinterleaving circuitry alternately addressing the memory.

Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting a multiplexed analog component television signal. The apparatus includes a signal source generator for generating a signal source having information regarding the number of lines per frame. A multiplexed analog component television signal generator generates a multiplexed analog component television signal having a varying number of lines per frame and including information regarding the number of lines per frame. A transmitter coupled to the multiplexed analog component television signal generator transmits the television signal to at least one remote terminal.
