A multidimensional parallel access computer memory system is provided to facilitate high speed parallel access of data from a multi-bank computer memory. The system is particularly adapted to matrix calculations whereby matrix elements along linear matrix vectors are nonconflictingly stored in a plurality of independent memories and are associated in parallel with a plurality of independent processors for high speed matrix manipulations. An alignment network interposing the plurality of memories...

A system for characterizing objects to be sorted in real time and making sorting decisions using lasers to excite fluorescing dyes used to tag objects such as cells which flow through the laser beam in a stream of conductive fluid. The scattered light and fluorescent light at various frequencies define a multidimensional space. These light characteristics are sensed and digitized. The data so gathered is buffered and then compared to a binary classification tree. The individual parameters cause ...

In order to manage a plurality of sets of multidimensional data positioned in a specific area of a computer, when hierarchically dividing a first area within the specific area into second areas that are to constitute child areas thereof, a decision is made as to whether or not a division condition, which is based upon the state achieved when the sets of multidimensional data are allocated to the first area and the state achieved when the sets of multidimensional data are allocated to the second ...

A method/operator is disclosed that adjusts measurements during processing in a multidimensional data cube. The online "depth-of-field" operator disclosed varies the density of points in a representation of the multidimensional cube. The operator may be applied to any collection of dimensions and relations supported by the dimensions, using hierarchical structures to control the adjustments. It allows one to experiment online with the definition of relations during multidimensional possessing, t...

An electronic imaging system includes a receiver for receiving a digital representation of an input image, and a conversion processor for converting the input image to an output image, typically defined by distinct color spaces. The conversion processor is configured as a multidimensional look up table containing nodes at each of series of predefined input addresses. Each node is preloaded with an output color value corresponding to the input addresses. The look up table can accommodate a more e...

Multidimensional oligomers of the present invention are surprisingly useful for advanced composites because each generally has a use temperature greatly in excess of its curing temperature. The oligomers have essentially no arms, and comprise crosslinking phenylimide end caps condensed directly onto an aromatic hub (preferably, phenyl) through "commodity" polymeric linkages, such as amide, diimide, ether, or ester. For example, p-nadicimidobenzoylchloride can be condensed with triaminobenzene to...

Two or more audio channels (i.e.--stereo, 4-channel surround, etc.) are each divided into frequency subbands to be coarsely quantized. An adaptive bit allocation scheme is then applied to subbands which are combined across channels such that equivalent subbands (i.e.--same frequency band) from each channel are grouped together to form a steered subband. The power from each subband is averaged across the channels to form a steered subband level. Bits are conserved by forming a vector in which eac...

Crosslinkable, polyaromatic, polyether or polyester oligomers can have glass transition temperatures above 900.degree. F. while exhibiting desirable toughness for aerospace applications and ease of processing. A plurality (i.e. three or more) of generally linear aryl arms extend outwardly like spokes from a central aromatic hub through ether or ester linkages. Each spoke usually includes electronegative linkages, and is capped with one or two crosslinking functionalities (i.e. unsaturated hydroc...

The yield of fully substituted, multidimensional aromatic hubs in the condensation of hydroxyl and acid halide functionalities is improved by adding a thallium catalyst, such as thallium ethoxide (Tl--OC.sub.2 H.sub.5), in the solvent.

An user interface for accepting three dimensional information (such as x, y and z axis positioning information) for input into a computer, printer, copier or other electronic device. In addition to indicating the x and y axis position coordinates of the input, the input pad of the user interface also registers a z axis coordinate based on the pressure applied by the operator on the outer surface of the input pad. This z axis force component is enabled by the force sensing layers of parallel cond...
