摘要： A computer graphics accelerator apparatus and method determines whether a pixel at predetermined pixel co-ordinates in an area being rasterized is within a triangle defining a sub-area of the area. The coordinate system in relation to which the triangle is defined is translated such that the pixel co-ordinates are disposed at the origin of the coordinate system. Determinants of matrices based on at least two of the coordinate values of at least two of the vertices are calculated and their signs compared. Based on this comparison a determination as to pixel location with respect to the triangle may be made.

摘要： In a process for the fabrication of integrated resistive elements with protection from silicidation, at least one active area (15) is delimited in a semiconductor wafer (10). At least one resistive region (21) having a pre-determined resistivity is then formed in the active area (15). Prior to forming the resistive region (21), however, a delimitation structure (20) for delimiting the resistive region (21) is obtained on top of the active area (15). Subsequently, protective elements (25) are obtained which extend within the delimitation structure (20) and coat the resistive region (21).

摘要： A power conversion device includes a first and second input terminal for connection to a transformer winding and at least an output terminal. A first and second synchronous rectifier are associated with the first and second input terminals, respectively. An inductor within an output stage is connected between the first input terminal and the output terminal. A driving circuit includes first and second output terminals connected to respective control terminals of the first and second synchronous rectifiers. An adjustable threshold control block is connected between the first and second input terminals and is connected to the inductor. The control block is enabled responsive to a control signal on the first output terminal of the driving circuit. The control block operates to clamp the voltage of the first input terminal to a preset value during at least a dead time period of the device operation.

摘要： A system controls the speed of a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) in order to perform the ramp loading of hard disk heads with low noise. This system includes a generator for generating a discontinuous PWM drive signal to a power stage. A sampling block is clocked by a synchronization signal issued from the generator and receives as an input a signal related to the electromotive force (Bemf) provided by the VCM motor. An adder node placed at the sampling block output receives a signal related to a reference electromotive force (Bemf_ref). A filtering block placed downstream of the adder node generates a power supply voltage signal to the power stage. The control system further includes a control block having at least one voltage divider and controlled switches. The control block is input the signal issued from the filtering block and control signals from the generator block to selectively operate the controlled switches and set the value of the power-on signal of the power stage.

摘要： A bonus game for a slot machine operable in a basic mode and a bonus mode. The bonus game is entered upon the occurrence of a special start-bonus game outcome in the basic mode. In the bonus game, a player selects, one at a time, from an array of windows each associated with a bonus game outcome. Credits are awarded based upon which ones of the windows are selected. The bonus game ends upon selection of a window associated with an end-bonus outcome but otherwise continues, allowing the player to make further selections and accumulate further credits until encountering an end-bonus outcome. In one embodiment, a bonus game resource obtained in the basic game may be exercised in the bonus game to affect the bonus game outcome. In one embodiment, for example, where the occurrence of an end-bonus outcome would otherwise end the bonus game, a player having a bonus game resource may exercise the bonus game resource upon encountering an end-bonus outcome to continue playing the bonus game.

摘要： An output buffer includes a pair of main complimentary MOS transistors connected to at least one additional pair of complementary MOS transistors connected in parallel to the pair of main transistors by means of a pair of switches controlled by a numeric word for activating or not activating the additional pair of transistors. A control circuit delivers the numeric word which represents the conductivity of the pair of main transistors included in the output buffer. The additional transistors are sized in such a way that when they are activated, the equivalent impedance of the output buffer is approximately constant.
