IMAGE READING AND WRITING USING A COMPLEX TWO-DIMENSIONAL INTERLACE SCHEME

Номер: US20130188166A1
Автор: Sandstrom Torbjorn
Принадлежит: MICRONIC MYDATA AB

The current invention relates to writing or reading a pattern on a surface, such as in microlithography or inspection of mircrolithographic patterns. In particular, Applicant discloses systems recording or reading images by scanning sparse 2D point arrays or grids across the surface, e.g., multiple optical, electron or particle beams modulated in parallel. The scanning and repeated reading or writing creates a dense pixel or spot grid on the workpiece. The grid may be created by various arrays: arrays of light sources, e.g., laser or LED arrays, by lenslet arrays where each lenslet has its own modulator, by aperture plates for particle beams, or arrays of near-field emitters or mechanical probes. For reading systems, the point grid may be created by a sparse point matrix illumination and/or a detector array where each detector element sees only one spot. The idea behind the use of large arrays is to improve throughput. However, the throughput does not scale with the array size, since above a certain size of arrays, previously known schemes fall into in their own tracks and start repeating the same data over and over again. This application discloses methods to scan workpieces with large arrays while preserving the scaling of throughput proportional to array size, even for very large arrays, in fact essentially without limits. 1. A method of relaying pattern information in pulses between an array of more than 100 by 100 elements to spots on a surface of a workpiece , the method including:moving the array between pulses by a displacement vector that creates a regular distribution of a predetermined number of interstitial spots within a cell on the surface, the cell having corners defined by spots projected from the elements with the array in a first position, with a substantial balancing of the regular distribution of the interstitial spots, having an imbalance of no more than a 3:2 ratio along major and minor axes of distribution.2.

The magnetic card rotating mechanism is used for rotating a transversely-inserted magnetic card to longitudinal direction in order to convey the magnetic card into the longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and rotating the longitudinal magnetic card returned by the longitudinal magnetic card information reader to transverse direction in order to convey the transverse magnetic card out. The problem that the whole magnetic strip of the magnetic card information reader which allows a user to plug the magnetic card in the longitudinal direction is completely scanned by a card stealer device illegally arranged in a card plug-in buckle in the process of longitudinally inserting the magnetic card can be effectively solved, and thereby the problem that the magnetic card information is stolen illegally can be thoroughly solved.

In order to perform processing of analyzing card data in an appropriate amount of time depending on the number of tracks actually present on a magnetic stripe with use of a single demodulation circuit, the single demodulation circuit produces, based on magnetic data read by a magnetic head, a single common card running signal obtained by ORing card running signals of tracks present on the magnetic stripe of the magnetic card, a clock signal of each track present on the magnetic stripe, and a data signal of each track present on the magnetic stripe. A card running signal generation circuit generates, based on the common card running signal and the clock signal of each track, an individual card running signal of each track present on the magnetic stripe. A data analysis processing unit determines, based on presence or absence of the individual card running signal, presence or absence of a track on the magnetic stripe to perform processing of analyzing the data signal only for the track determined to be present on the magnetic stripe. 1.

This specification discloses methods and devices for NFC/RFID (near field communication/radio frequency identification) reader systems to detect an external target device (e.g., tag or card device) within communication distance. In some embodiments, this is achieved by: (i) directing a Tx (transmitter) unit to generate a Tx signal, (ii) sweeping through a first Tx output (e.g., Tx voltage) in an increasing manner, and then (iii) monitoring a second Tx output (e.g., Tx current). During monitoring, a step change in the second Tx output (e.g., Tx current) would indicate detection of an external target device.
