Abstract:
An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to include repeating first data to provide first repeated data and deleting second repeated data to provide second data according to a programmed standard included in a first apparatus and selected from a plurality of reprogrammable standards.
Abstract:
Interleaving/de-interleaving may be performed by transferring multi-byte data blocks to be interleaved or de-interleaved into a set of memory banks on a column-by-column basis, transferring the data blocks to a data memory on a row-by-row basis, transferring the data blocks back to the memory banks on a row-by-row basis, using a set of shifted addresses that may cause cyclic shifting of the row orders, and transferring the interleaved or de-interleaved data blocks out of the memory banks on a column-by-column basis. The roles of rows and columns may, equivalently, be reversed.
Abstract:
A laser imaging system is disclosed which provides the versatility of wide field digital imaging with enhanced spatial resolution and light gathering efficiency. The system will scan targets of any size, dependent only upon the data retrieval and storage limitation of the computer support system, for forward light loss densitometry images as well as fluorescent and forward scatter images. The system is easily adaptable for rare event detection and tracking. The laser system will provide image capture of an entire target within 10 to 60 seconds and controls the scan of the laser beam in three-dimensional pattern and speed. The beam may be repositioned to any one of 16 million locations on a target within an accuracy of +/-0.5 um. Finally, the imaging system of the present invention utilizes a novel optical fiber based detector assembly having NA values of 0.58-0.95 and filters having less than 15% loss at emission wavelengths. Thus, the imaging system of the present invention can capture from 14% to 32% of total fluorescence emission.
