Title: Image processing apparatus
Inventor: ZAIMA NOBUHIKO
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: Image control which requires time and troublesome work cannot be frequently performed, and image quality such as tonality reproducibility cannot be sufficiently stabilized in correspondence with constantly varying image characteristic of image forming apparatus. Accordingly, a density correction characteristic of image processing apparatus is controlled based on an image characteristic of pattern formed on a print sheet, then the image characteristic of pattern formed on an electrostatic drum is held as reference information. Upon normal image formation, a pattern is formed without an image formation area on the electrostatic drum, and the density correction characteristic is corrected based on the difference between the image characteristic of the pattern and the reference information.

Abstract: In the case where two base stations (CS1, CS2) are cascaded by a signal line (20) for ensuring more information channels, if traffic increases in the base station on a master side, it can be considered that communication conditions of the base station on the master side are better than those of the base station on a slave side at that point in time. Sending of the control channel is switched between one and the other of the cascaded two base stations depending on the situations at that point in time, and therefore the base station providing good communication conditions can perform the communication with a mobile terminal to a larger extent so that the communication can be stable. Users can easily perform outgoing and incoming calls with respect to the base station. A base station, which can accommodate more users and can offer 64-kpbs service with an improved probability, is provided.

Abstract: A wide frequency range signal from a test sound source (1) is reproduced successively by a plurality of speakers (101) to (104), and the reproduced sound is detected by a plurality of microphones (111) and (112), after which the frequency characteristics thereof are obtained at FFTs (4b) and (4c), while obtaining the frequency characteristics of the wide frequency range signal at an FFT (4a). A high frequency range level is normalized with a low frequency range level, and a determination section (8) compares the normalized value with a reference value stored in a reference value storage section (9) to determine the number and positions of people in the sound field. At the same time, the transfer functions between the speakers and the microphones are calculated at transfer function calculators (10a) and (10b), and impulse responses are obtained at IFFTs (12a) and (12b), after which a reverberation time calculator (13) calculates the reverberation time based on the impulse responses. An audio signal is adjusted based on the results obtained from the determination section (8) and the reverberation time calculator (13), whereby it is possible to optimize the audio reproduction according to changes in the sound field.

Abstract: A process for making a composite tube uniquely suited for use in ethylene pyrolysis furnaces wherein the tube comprises an outer shell (32) made from a wrought or cast Fe-Ni-Cr heat resistant alloy and an inner core made from INCOLOY alloy MA956 powder. The outer shell (32) and powder core (34) are heated and simultaneously extruded to form a composite tube. The process is carried out at a temperature of preferably less than 1200°C and for a time so as to prevent recrystalization of the very fine grain structure in the alloy MA956. This un-recrystalized fine grain structure permits pilgering and/or cold drawing of the extruded composite tube to final size. The composite tube provided by the present invention is uniquely suited for use in the petrochemical and chemical process industries, so as to increase the efficiency and productivity of their respective processes. The thin core layer (34) of alloy MA956 provides high resistance to carburization and coke formation heretofore caused by the hydrocarbon feedstock flowing through the composite tube, while the outer shell (32) of Fe-Ni-Cr heat resistant alloy provides overall strength and rigidity to the tube. The use of the outer shell in the composite tube also solves the joining problem heretofore encountered in joining alloy MA956. A root pass or passes using an alloy MA956 filler metal followed by overlay welding passes using a filler metal compatible with the heat resistant alloy, such as INCONEL alloy 617 or FM 25/35, joins the outer shells of adjoining composite tubes and, thus, solves the welding problem.
