1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:a print engine for printing an image on a recording
sheet;
a sheet feed mechanism configured to feed said
recording sheet through said print engine; anda controller communicatively coupled to said sheet
feed mechanism and said print engine to operate said sheet
feed mechanism and said print engine in a selected one of aplurality of operation modes, said plurality of operation
modes including
a continuum representing a plurality of
traditional printing modes, said continuum being defined interms of print quality of image density versus modethroughput rate of pages per minute wherein a decrease inprint quality corresponds to an increase in mode throughput
rate, anda green mode located outside said continuum.

1２. The imaging apparatus of Claim 1, wherein said
green mode has a specific combination of a print quality
and a mode throughput rate different from thosecombinations of the plurality of traditional printing modes
so as to make an energy consumption lower than any of theplurality of traditional printing modes.
3. The imaging apparatus of claim 1, further
comprising a plurality of selectable hardware functions,said controller executing program instructions to put nonessential hardware functions ancillary to a selected
hardware function into one of an off state and a reduced
power consumption state to supplement a reduction in saidenergy consumption.
＊＊＊END＊＊＊（クレーム作成のための参考資料としての記述と図）Imaging apparatuses, such as printers and multifunction machines having printing functionality, typicallyhave three or more traditional printing modes: e.g., Draft
Mode, Normal Mode, and Best/Photo Mode. These modes
typically make a trade-off between printer throughput andprint quality. For example, in comparing the Draft Mode,Normal Mode, and Best/Photo Mode, in that order, theprinter throughput decreases as the print quality increases.
An increasing number of people are becoming environmentallyaware, and have a stronger desire to reduce personal energy
consumption from non-renewable energy sources, commonlyreferred to as going "green" or reducing one's "carbonfootprint".

Conventionally, in order to fully understand therelative position relationship between the stator and themover to enable the user to input correct driving motor
angles when starting the linear motor, as shown in FIG. 1,the mover W is disposed with a position feedback device H
which includes three linearly-arranged Hall sensors H1, H2and H3. The direction in which the three Hall sensors arearranged is the same as the direction in which the N-pole
A2 and the S-pole A3 of the pair of magnetic poles A1 ofthe stator are arranged. The three Hall sensors H1, H2 andH3 are positioned correspondingly to the three coils (notshown) of the mover W.
＊＊＊START＊＊＊

For the linear motor is a three-phase motor, when thewaveform of the mover W cooperates with the position
feedback device H and one pair of magnetic poles A1, asshown in FIG. 2, the oscilloscope shows that there arethree sinusoidal waves W1, W2 and W3. The angle of the pairof magnetic poles A1 is 360 degrees. The phase differencesof the two adjacent sinusoidal waves W1, W2 and W2, W3 ofthe three sinusoidal waves W1, W2 and W3 are both 120degrees.
The angles of the three sinusoidal waves W1, W2 andW3 with respect to A1 are a, a+120 degrees and a+240degrees, respectively. The three Hall sensors H1, H2 and H3
are connected clockwise to correspond to the three coils of
the mover W, so as to sense the three sinusoidal waves W1,W2 and W3, and the relative positions of the respective
Hall sensors H1, H2 and H3 to the respective sinusoidal
waves W1, W2 and W3 must be the same, so the distances
between the two adjacent Hall sensors H1, H2 and H2, H3
must correspond to the phase difference 120 degrees.
＊＊＊END＊＊＊4

By conversion, if the length of A1 is L, the distancecorresponding to the phase difference 120 degrees is L/3,
so after the position feedback device H ignores the somelengths of the three Hall sensors H1, H2 and H3, its size
is just the summation of the distance between the twoadjacent Hall sensors H1, H2 and the distance between thetwo adjacent Hall sensors H2, H3, namely, 2 L/3.

＊＊＊START＊＊＊

The electrical signals involved are the firstultrasonic signal 66 which is the fundamental wave, and theelectrical signal 68 which represents the new sonic or
subsonic wave to be combined with the ultrasonic signal 66.
The combination of the signals 66, 68 creates a newelectrical signal 70 as a new upper sideband that is thesum of signals 66 and 68, along with signal 66, both ofwhich are emitted from the ultrasonic transducer 20 as acompression wave 76.
A listener will hear the new compression wave 76 froma region of interference 74 which generally can begin at atransmitting face of the ultrasonic transducer 20. Except
for the audible evidence to the contrary, this might leadthe listener to incorrectly conclude that the ultrasonictransducer 20 is generating the new compression wave 76. By
definition, the ultrasonic transducer 20 cannot directly
generate audible frequencies. Therefore, what one hears is
the interfering ultrasonic compression waves interacting inaccordance with the acoustical heterodyning effect. It wasdiscovered that the two ultrasonic compression waves are
created from 1) the new electrical signal 70, and 2) thefirst ultrasonic signal 66. These respective compression
waves corresponding to signals 66 and 70 are propagated at
the transducer 20, providing the required two ultrasonicwave trains for acoustical heterodyning interference.
