Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of inspecting a surface of
an object article capable of precisely detecting stains or miniature defects present in the
object surface. Specifically, the invention provides a method of inspecting surface
irregularity of an object article having a surface of uniform or regular brightness, which
comprises the steps of: gaining brightness informations for a plurality of two-dimensionally
distributed pixels by taking a picture of the article surface; finding stains on
the article surface in response to each information obtained in the brightness information
gaining step to produce a first output; finding miniature defects smaller in size than a unit
pixel in response to each information obtained in the brightness information gaining step
to generate a second output; switching the first output and the second output into
appropriate electrical signals in a controlled manner; and displaying the switched
electrical signals on a display in a viewable condition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for receiving strokes of electronic ink in more than one language is provided. An input device is used to enter at least one stroke of electronic ink into a processing device. The processing device stores a language indication associated with the electronic ink, such that the language indication provides a way to associate a handwriting recognizer with the ink. The user may change the language or recognizer associated with the ink by flipping over a pen and using another tip of the pen or may use another pen or other input device. Aspects of the described system and method accommodate various optional interfaces to associate a pen tip or click of a button to one or more languages. Other aspects of the system and method include language switching of a displayed software keyboard when a pen input device is within a predetermined distance from a display.

Abstract: Input signals are weighted by weighting means composed of variable resistors 11-1 through 11-n, each made of an oxide thin film with a perovskite structure containing manganese, which changes resistance at room temperature according to the cumulative number of times a pulse voltage was applied and holds the resistance in a nonvolatile manner. Then, the weighted signals are inputted to an arithmetic unit 12. The oxide thin film used as each of the variable resistors 11-1 through 11-n changes its resistance, according to the cumulative number of times the input pulse was applied, and further holds the resistance in a nonvolatile manner even after the power supply is cut off. Thus, by changing the weighting factor according to the cumulative number of times the pulse voltage was applied, a neuro element more resembling a neuron of the human being is realized.

Abstract: When the image data having a predetermined gradation
value for each pixel is input, and the image data is
searched from the initial pixel and the total of the
gradation values of the pixels, including the searched
pixels, becomes a predetermined threshold value or more, a
dot is generated at the center of the gravity position as a
quantized pixel group. In the searching, an unprocessed
pixel closest to the center of gravity position, including
this pixel, is selected. If there are a plurality of
unprocessed pixels, selection is performed at random. For
the pixel selection, a pixel closest to the center position
computed from the positional coordinates may be selected,
rather than the center of gravity. Also a dot may be
generated at the center position of the quantized pixel
group.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus in which the presence or absence of a toner remaining in a toner storing portion (5) is judged by such a patch detecting method that a wrong judgment about presence or absence of the toner can be prevented and, still, a lowering of image forming density can be suppressed. The image forming apparatus has a first toner supply controller for controlling the driving time of a toner supplying portion (9) on the basis of the video count number of the density signal of an image information signal, and a second toner supply controller for correcting the driving time of the toner supplying portion (9,8) determined by the first toner controller, the presence or absence of the toner remaining in the toner storing portion (5) being judged on the basis of the density signal of a standard toner patch image as reference. When the density signal of this standard toner image is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the driving time of the toner supplying portion (8), additionally corrected gradually per image by the second toner supply controller, is made longer than when the density signal of the standard toner image is greater than the predetermined value.

Abstract: Architecture for replicating a consistency unit in an application-defined system.
Changes in a source replica effect metadata changes in both a change unit and the

source enumerates an updated consistency unit, enumerates all updated change units of
the consistency unit, bundles the change units, and sends the bundles the change units for
transmit to the destination. The destination applies the bundled change units in a single
transaction after detecting and resolving conflicts. The process continues for each

Abstract: MAC (Media Access Control) for an EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network system) defined in an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.3ah EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) standard is implemented using general MAC based on an IEEE 802.3 standard. LLID (Logical Link ID) information is inserted at a predetermined position of a frame outside its preamble and the frame containing the LLID information is transferred to a higher layer so that general MAC can be used as MAC for the EPON system. A physical layer of the EPON system contains LLID information within a preamble and transfers the preamble containing the LLID information. An RS (Reconciliation Sublayer) configures a new Ethernet frame by inserting the LLID information at a predetermined position of the Ethernet frame outside the preamble. The RS transfers the new Ethernet frame to a higher data link layer of the EPON system. The data link layer transfers the new Ethernet frame containing the LLID information.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for continuous delivery of a measured flow of liquid to a processing apparatus comprising a reservoir (10) for holding a bulk supply of the liquid and, an intermediate vessel (12). A first pump delivers liquid from the intermediate vessel to processing equipment at one rate. A second pump (13) delivers liquid from the reservoir to the intermediate vessel of a second much faster rate. A pressure transducer (14) continuously monitors the weight of the liquid in the vessel and controls the first pump accordingly to deliver the required weight of liquid at the required rate to the processing equipment. The pressure transducer determines when the weight of liquid in the intermediate vessel has reached a minimum position to initiate operation of the second pump (13) to refill the vessel and a further device terminates operation of the second means when the liquid level in the vessel reaches a maximum position.
