Patent EP-1349365-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HASELBY ROBERT D
IPC: H04N1/191
Filed: 1997-09-23
Abstract: Scan exposure in a row or swath scanner is controlled
by pulsing light sources with pulses (R, G, B) that are
separated by dark intervals (441) from each other ― and
from the detector readout periods (RD). Detector sequencing
is thereby made independent of the velocity of the
pixel-line advance mechanism (401-403; 131, 133). Different
pulse widths (412, 412') for different colors provide
color correction without calculation, or regularize colorspace
conversion calculations (128) where needed. In a
swath scanner, known technology of printing modes is
imported into the scanning context. Order of pixel columns
within each swath can be reversed (251) for printing
― permitting use of novel configurations such as a dual-parallel-flatbed
copier (Figs. 13, 14) in which a single
common scan-and-advance mechanism (211, 231-244') simultaneously
transports the scan sensor (214) and printheads
(212, 213). To produce mirror images, this configuration
is also used without column reversal. In addition to red,
green and blue light sources, an infrared source is used
for reading invisible indicia that identify forms or media
types. The scan sensor (214) is also used (214') for
auxiliary printing functions.

Abstract: The rotating part (1) is driven by a motor (9) which is locally variable by a servo drive (12). In the engaged state the first coupling (6) can be compressed and strained in the axial direction of the rotating part. The journal (2) of the rotating part and the axis (8) of the motor are connected together as regards movement with at least one component parallel to a rotational axis of the rotating part by means of a second coupling which compensates any angular deviations.  Independent claim describes method of separating drive from rotating part in that first the coupling is released by remote control and then the motor is moved linearly by a servo drive in a direction with at least one component parallel to the rotational axis of rotating part

Abstract: A recording/reproducing apparatus which can set up another timer reservation program while a timer reservation recording is continuously kept performing. When an "additional reservation" key is operated in the course of a timer reservation recording execution, an additional reservation screen is displayed. On the basis of an end time of a program currently in the course of recording execution, a recording start time of an additional reservation is input by calculating as to the time when a recording start time of a desired program starts after the recording end time. A recording time, a channel number or the like are also input together. When the "additional reservation" key is again operated, a new timer reservation program is set up. Even in the midst of such setting up, a timer recording is being performed.

blind or shade having a winding element 12, about which the
covering, or its lift cord or tapes are wound and unwound
with rotation of the winding element about a first axis of

axis, which can be the same as or coaxial with the first
axis. Either the compartment or the impeller is operatively
connected to the winding element. In operation the liquid
rotates with the rotation of the compartment or the impeller
about the second axis. Rotation of the liquid relative to
the impeller or to the compartment in at least a first
direction about the second axis is effective to retard the
rotation of the winding element in at least a second
direction about the first axis. The impeller 46, or a
peripheral wall surface 43 of the compartment 42 has a first
surface 49B that extends generally radially and substantially
parallel with respect to the second axis.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an universal input switching power
supply unit of a ringing choke converter (RCC) system in which by
reducing the number of components, cost saving and mounting space
reduction can be achieved. For high input voltages (Vin) and light
loads, the inductance of a primary winding (N1) of a main transformer
(T) is set high, preventing however that the switching voltage exceeds
a rated value of the switching element (Q1). For low input voltages
(Vin) and heavy loads, the inductance of the primary winding (N1) is
set low along with a control resistance (R2) and a control capacitance
(C1), preventing anyhow the deterioration of the switching characteristics.
