This paper presents a method for recovering, by using the iterative Fourier-transform algorithm, the complex amplitude transmittance of a recorded one-dimensional Fourier transform-type kinoform. A method for estimating the phase-recording characteristic of the kinoform fabrication system by comparing the retrieved phase with the theoretical phase is also presented. The spatial variations of both the magnitude and phase inside each of the kinoform cells were evaluated to improve estimation of the phase-recording characteristic. The initial estimate of the kinoform phase given to the algorithm was derived using the knowledge that the recorded phase is an approximation of the phase to be recorded. The relationship between the shift of the central sampling point of the Fourier image from the optical axis and the retrieved phase of the kinoform is investigated;a kinoform phase pattern with a structure suitable for indirectly detecting the shift is then proposed. In an experiment using a kinoform fabrication system including a photographic process, the recorded phase distribution is retrieved at five sampling points of each cell. The phase-recording characteristic is estimated using the retrieved phase values. Next, a computer simulation is executed to reveal the influence of errors in the measurement of magnitude. The simulation result shows that the recorded phase distribution can approximately be retrieved when the rms error added to the magnitude is approximately 10 percent of its average. Furthermore, the validity of the phase distribution retrieved in the experiment is discussed.

We introduce a hypermedia-based distributed design image database system that can provide simple and flexible user access capabilities based on the "kansei" link method. As proof of this concept, we have developed a prototype distributed multimedia information network incorporating the DHS model. Dubbed the Textile Design Image Database System (TDIDS), this database aids designers using apparel computer-aided design (CAD) systems in different locations, collaborating or working separately, in the design of clothes, including kimonos. Our purpose has been to create a database that will allow each designer to make the best use of his or her creativity and originality-his or her "style and sensitivity to beauty," or, in Japanese, kansei. In our hypermedia system, "metanodes" are defined as abstract nodes that are dynamically organized by multimedia objects, while "metalinks" are defined as flexible kansei links. Metanodes and metalinks are combined to organize a dynam ic hypermedia space from which users can easily retrieve desired design image objects by querying a knowledge agent. The knowledge agent, utilizing the knowledge base, creates links from kansei word objects provided by the user to suitable design image objects among those stored on multimedia databases distributed across the network. The knowledge agent also performs query conversion of individual users' subjective kansei (idiosyncratic, subjective use of kansei words) into objective kansei words using each user's own "user model," These objective kansei words are then converted to equivalent color values. Color value is the means by which all stored design images are characterized. This dynamic linking of kansei word objects to equivalent design images allows individual users' kansei to influence the retrieval process. The sophisticated and flexible CAD systems of the future will require multimedia database systems with cooperative supporting capabilities similar to our kansei system.

This paper presents a texture segmentation algorithm based on a hierarchical wavelet decomposition. Using Daubechies' four-tap filter, an original image is decomposed into three detail images and one approximate image. The decomposition can be recursively applied to the approximate image to generate a lower resolution of the pyramid. The segmentation starts at the lowest resolution using the K-means clustering scheme and textural features obtained from various sub-bands. The result of segmentation is propagated through the pyramid to a higher resolution with continuously improving the segmentation. The lower resolution levels help to build the contour of the segmented texture, while higher levels refine the process, and correct possible errors.

We analyze the deflection of a probe beam because of pump-probe interaction in a high-absorbing thermal medium. We extend the existing theory by accounting for translation of a finite-width probe because of deflection within the nonlinear sample. We also provide expressions for the number of resolvable angles of the probe for possible applications of the setup as a beam deflector and study conditions for the maximization of the deflection angle and the resolution. We present experimental results obtained with a solution of chlorophyll in ethanol as the thermal medium.

The charging effects of plasma immersion ion implantation on several device structures is simulated. The simulations use an analytical model which couples the interaction of the plasma and IC devices during plasma implantation. The plasma model is implemented within the circuit simulator SPICE, which allows the model to uses all of the IC device models existing within SPICE. The model of the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling current through thin gate oxides of MOS devices is demonstrated, and shown how it can be used to quantify the damage induced. Charging damage is shown to be strongly affected by the device structure.

We report on recent advances in the fabrication of quantum-effect devices using x-ray nanolithography. A novel scheme for gap control during the mask replication process was developed that uses capacitance sensing in a feedback loop. The capacitance between two masks is measured and held constant through control of the pressure between them. This scheme can be used to maintain the masks at a gap as small as 1 mum, thus reducing penumbra and diffraction. This capacitive feedback method, used in mask-to-mask replication can, in principle, also be used for mask-to-substrate exposures and is thus an additional element in an x-ray nanolithography technology for sub-70 nm features.

The paper studies the characteristics of synchronous ordering of messages. Synchronous ordering of messages defines synchronous communication based on the causality rather than time. We present the sufficient conditions, based on the causality relations, for any algorithm to provide synchronous ordering. We also propose an algorithm using acknowledgment messages to implement the sufficient conditions. The algorithm is deadlock-free, and provides a higher degree of concurrency than existing algorithms.< >

Designing and debugging distributed systems requires the detection of conditions across the entire system. As an illustration, monitoring the status of an application requires detection of termination, and using virtual time requires the periodic calculation of the global virtual time. The generalized conjunctive predicate (GCP) detector offers a method to derive detection algorithms for these and other problems based on optimizing the base algorithm.
