You can implement the same normalization technique in software if the microprocessor can keep up with the data rate. The microprocessor has to have a lookup table the same size that the PROM would be. For each sample, the pixel value is shifted to the left by however many bits are needed for the pixel number (10 for a 1024-element array), is added to the pixel number, and then the result is used as an offset into the normalization lookup table. Of course, the table can be rearranged so that the pixel number is the high address and the pixel value is the low address. Driving CCDs One final note about CCDs; many CCDs have unusual voltage requirements for the clocks, such as 6.5V for a logic “1” and less than .1v for a logical “0.” Even inputs that are apparently CMOS logic levels may have very tight require- ments, requiring the driver to operate very close to the supply rails. In addi- tion, the CCD clock inputs have very high capacitance, often over 2000 pf.
in World War II, and major names and stages in the history of cryptology. I eliminated all source notes and most of the technical matter, as well as material peripheral to strict codebreaking such as biographies, the invention of secondary cipher systems, and miscellaneous uses of various systems. I had no space for new material, but I did correct the errors reported to me and updated a few items. The chapters have been slightly rearranged. Readers wanting to know more about a specific point should consult the text and notes of the original. If any reader wishes to offer any corrections or to tell me of his own experiences in this field, I would be very grateful if he would send them to me. —D.K. Windsor Gate Great Neck, New York Preface
were forced into bankruptcy because of the economic downturn. But the outcomes of their bankruptcies were completely different. The first of my friends had been meticulously careful about all of his bills and finances throughout his career. He had always paid at least the minimum amounts on his charge cards. If ever he had a financial problem, he went to the person affected and rearranged payments and interest. When he was finally forced into bankruptcy, by a massive and unexpected financial default over which he had no control, he had no choice but to go to court, give up all his assets, and walk away penniless. But within a week, people were approaching him and offering him money, loans, offices, credit cards, a place to live, and a new car
"But I'm not saying goodbye," I pointed out. "Don't you see? That's what proves me right. I care the most, because if I can do it" -- he shook his head, seeming to struggle with the thought -- "if leaving is the right thing to do, then I'll hurt myself to keep from hurting you, to keep you safe." I glared. "And you don't think I would do the same?" "You'd never have to make the choice." Abruptly, his unpredictable mood shifted again; a mischievous, devastating smile rearranged his features. "Of course, keeping you safe is beginning to feel like a full-time occupation that requires my constant presence." "No one has tried to do away with me today," I reminded him, grateful for the lighter subject. I didn't want him to talk about goodbyes anymore. If I had to, I supposed I could purposefully put myself in danger to keep him close... I banished that thought before his quick eyes read it on my face. That idea would definitely get me in trouble. "Yet," he added.

Vincent and Jules walk away with the ELIXIR-filled briefcase. T h e tale is "over," although we know that in linear time, there is still much of the story ahead. Vincent and Jules will now deliver the briefcase to Marsellus at the bar, Vincent will show disrespect for Butch and will undergo his O R D E A L with M i a , Butch will not throw the fight and will kill Vincent before surviving his O R D E A L with Marsellus. T h e real ending, if these events are rearranged in linear sequence, is the moment when Butch and his girlfriend ride off on the motorcycle. T h e theme of Pulp Fiction seems to be the testing of men by ordeals. Different characters react differendy to their respective confrontations with Death. Despite the relativistic tone of the film, the storytellers do seem to have a moral point o f view. T h e y sit in God's chair, dealing out the punishment of death for Vincent, who of
the list and time himself, from entering the store to leaving the store. He arrived at Whole Foods at 3:38 P.M. and left at 6:20 P.M. for a total time of: 2 hours, 42 minutes. This was, of course, a rst-time expedition, and Charlie had to search for everything. To account for this, I had him review locations within the store the following day and then repeat the drill the day thereafter. For the second round of timing, Charlie rearranged all of the items on the list into groups based on areas of the store (to cut down on walking back and forth), and he had a friend tag along to read the list and check off items. Charlie's job was pure speed. Sprinting around the store behind the cart like a kid on a Nickelodeon shopping spree, he cut the total time in the store down to 1 hour. The total cost, regardless of time, was $541.09. Some of the items (supplements, protein powder) would be used over several weeks, so I
