A method and apparatus for reprogramming a microprocessor through a serial port (18) is disclosed. An administrative computer (14) is connected to a serial port (18) on a machine (12) containing the microprocessor to be reprogrammed. A first sequence of signals is sent from the administrative computer (14) to the microprocessor (30) to change the microprocessor from a normal mode to a bootstrap mode. A new program is then loaded from the administrative computer (14) to the microprocessor (30). A second sequence of signals is sent from the administrative computer (14) to the microprocessor (30) to change the microprocessor (30) from the bootstrap mode to the normal mode.

This is a bar code decoding method and apparatus that decodes the bar codes from digital video data. The apparatus will decode multi-level bar codes, as well as bi-level bar codes, but only a single format bar code at any given time. Data acquisition is via an optical scanner that generates a data signal that is converted into a run-length pixel count of pixels per bar or space. An array of twelve latches sequentially stores the run-length data while a programmable, high-speed math module sums the pixel count for a predetermined number of elements. Multi-level thresholds are established and the pixel count of a given element is compared to a multiple range of pixel counts used to define the number of modules per element. The module count of each element is compared to a predetermined start or stop code pattern. Look-up tables are then used for character decoding based on the module count of each element after the start code has been detected.

An apparatus and method for continuous synchronization of a pair of independently clocked asynchronous data streams () consisting of raster data from independent imaging acquisition systems comprises a means for acquiring individual rasters from a first stream of data. A counter for counting () a first total number of received rasters and data merge logic () for comparing the first total to a first threshold. A means for acquiring individual rasters from a second stream of data. A means for transferring the first acquired data stream and the second acquired data stream to a composite output when the first total is greater than the first threshold. The method includes adding or subtracting idle pixels from an interline gap.

Reliability of bubble or particle detection in a flowing fluid is improved using a pulsed doppler frequency detector. When an echo signal is received, impliedly indicating the existence of a bubble or particle in the carrier fluid, then, based on the flow rate of the carrier fluid, a predetermined time interval is established following a second interrogating pulse during which the second interrogating pulse would be predicted to produce an echo if the first echo did, in fact, represent a real bubble or particle in the fluid. Detection of the second echo during this time interval confirms the existence of the bubble or particle. For fluid flows with cross section velocity profiles that are not constant, e. g. laminar flow, a plurality of different predicted time intervals are established for different points in the velocity profile spaced radially from the fluid conduit and multiple sensing cycles are employed to thereby detect bubbles or particles at different radial positions in the fluid cross section.
