A state machine controller which can be used for fetching data for a real-time computer image generation system and which provides valid data for each clock interval of a system control clock. The state machine controller can produce a result per clock pulse, schedule new data to be processed before completion of the processing of previous data to prevent bubbles or interruptions in the data pipeline, and can stop and maintain its output if a hold is applied from a later pipeline stage, and can resume one clock operation on the clock pulse when the hold is removed.

A content-addressable, first-in/first-out memory (CAM-FIFO), as used to provide a read-modify-write buffer for data between two processes, includes: a Content Addressable Memory (CAM) which stores flag data; a FIFO memory portion for providing data storage; a write/read address counting section for providing write/read addresses of data to be stored in/read from the FIFO; and logic to determine and is used to query data on the queue to determine if the FIFO data should still be sent to the receiving process, or replaced with at least part of the flag data.

The present invention discloses an acoustic composite material for an ultrasonic phased array and a method for making. The acoustic composite material is formed from a microcapillary array having a plurality of holes of a constant cross-section and volume fraction. In each of the plurality of holes of the microcapillary array, a polymer fill is deposited therein. The polymer filled microcapillary array is cut at an axis perpendicular to the microcapillary array into a plurality of sections. Each of the plurality of sections are then ground into a predetermined thickness and bonded to a phased array of piezoelectric elements and backfill material.

A method for generating a stream of digital data words, each representing an analog signal amplitude from a beam of vibratory energy received by a plurality N of transducers each associated with one of a like number of separate channels of a phased array, uses the steps of: sampling, after a delay of a multiple number of cycles at a fixed frequency F, an analog input signal in each channel at a fixed frequency F for conversion to a digital data word at each sample; then demodulating the digital data word stream in each channel to baseband and reducing the data word rate by a factor D; and phase-rotating the baseband data stream of each channel by a phase difference.

A CMOS programmable logic array includes a logical AND plane receiving a first group of input logic signals for forming a second group of logic minterms, and a logical OR plane receiving the logic minterms for forming a third group of output logic signals. Each type of logical plane contains a plurality of logic gates. Each plane type can be formed from the other plane type by the addition of a logic inverter to each input, and output of, that other-type plane. Interconnections determine the combination of input signals used to define the logic equation of the signal at the output of each logic gate of each plane. Static latches are used to retain the states of input and minterm logic signals. Logic planes and latches can be operated responsive to a two-phase clock signal.

An ultrasonic imaging system which uses transform beamforming in a two-dimensional context includes a two-dimensional array of transducer elements, a plurality of groups of local busses, and a plurality of sets of switching circuits. Each transducer element has a signal electrode coupled to a corresponding set of switching circuits which is controlled so that a particular transducer element is selectively coupled to one of the associated group of local busses. Each local bus provides an output signal that is sent from the probe to the console via a respective coaxial cable for each group of local busses. The number of connections that are necessary to be made through each coaxial cable is reduced by the ratio of the number of transducer elements coupled to a set of local busses and the number of busses in that set. Each set of local busses provides the input transform signals to one transform section of the transform preprocessor. A control signal stored in memory determines which local bus each transducer is operatively connected to.
