The present invention includes as one embodiment an ink jet printhead having a circuit with plural resistors and a power bus. The printhead includes a metal stack formed within the circuit, which is comprised of a first metal layer and a second metal layer and at least one power via. The power via is formed within the circuit as an interface between the first metal layer and the second metal layer and acts as a separation barrier between conductive portions of the resistors and the power bus.

Circuit routing for printhead having increased corrosion resistance

A series of marks on an optical disc are sampled to yield a series of data pulses. The marks are at least substantially angularly equidistant to one another on the optical disc. A function is performed on the series of data pulses to yield an error-corrected series of data pulses. The function is one of: frequency domain filtering, signal averaging, and signal integration.

Method of error correction for a series of marks on an optical disc

A mirror device of one embodiment of the invention is for a projection system corresponding to one of a pixel and a sub-pixel of image data to be projected by the projection system. The mirror device comprises a plurality of tiltable mirrors. The mirrors are cooperatively tilted based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data, to reflect light projected incident thereto in accordance with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data.
