Patent EP-0817464-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHIMADA KAZUMICHI
IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: The present invention utilizes a high-density ink
(C1,M1) and a low-density (C2,M2) ink with respect to a
specific color ink, so as to improve the printing
quality. The procedure of the present invention reads a
recording ratio of deep dots by the high-density ink
corresponding to input tone data from a table and
determines whether or not deep dots by the high-density
ink are to be formed in a target pixel. In the case
that deep dots are to be formed, a piezoelectric element
PE on a head of the high-density ink is driven to form
deep dots. In the case that deep dots are not to be
formed, on the other hand, the procedure determines
whether or not light dots by the low-density ink are to
be formed in the target pixel by referring to the table,
and specifies the on/off state of the light dots in
order to cause a mean recording ratio of the light dots
to be equal to a predetermined value. In the table,
formation of deep dots starts in the range of tone data
smaller than the specific value of tone data (95) that
gives a maximum recording ratio (60%) of light dots.
This results in smooth color mixture at a joint between
a record with light dots and a record with deep dots,
thereby ensuring extremely high printing quality. The
recording ratio of light dots may be varied according to
the density of another color ink at a position
corresponding to the target pixel as well as the density
of the target color ink.

Abstract: Halftoning gray scale image data includes
selection of one of plural dither matrices based on
an analysis of local tonality gradient for each
target pixel. Plural different but reciprocally
compatible dither matrices are defined, and for each
target pixel in the gray scale image data, a local
gradient for tonality is calculated. One of the
dither matrices is selected in accordance with the
calculated gradient, and the target pixel is
thresholded using the selected dither matrix.
Enhanced dithering according to the invention
improves smoothness of gradations present in the
invention, diminishes the "banding" or "contouring"
effect found in natural images, and improves visual
appearance and stability of business graphics,
particularly in cases where a complex image contains
both natural and computer generated business
graphics.

Abstract: A integrated position determination network including a position determination system and a radio relay system is disclosed which locates the precise location of the position determination system. The position determination system incorporates the radio, the power source and the GPS receiver and all necessary electronics into a single housing. Similarly, all of the components of the radio relay are integrated into a single housing. Many of the components of the position determination system and the radio relay system are interchangeable. Thus, a position determination system and radio relay system which use common components is obtained. The use of common components lowers the cost of manufacture and the cost of maintenance. In addition, interchange ability of components allows for great flexibility in designing a GPS network and in performing real time kinematics operations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An antenna system has a reflector (28) illuminated by
a primary feed (30) for producing a primary beam (38).
The reflector is illuminated further by a secondary
feed (32) formed of an array of secondary feed
elements (52) of which the respective electromagnetic
signals are adjustable in terms of their relative
amplitudes and phases to produce a secondary beam (42)
with sidelobes oriented in directions away from the
directions of the primary beam (38). Spacing among feed
elements (52) of the secondary feed array (32) is
selected for further control of orientation of sidelobes
(66B) of the secondary beam. Highest efficiency is
attained for signals of the primary feed by configuring
the reflector (28) for forming the primary beam, while
the secondary beam is produced with lower efficiency but
with isolation from the primary beam. The surface of
the reflector is contoured to provide maximum
primary-beam efficiency and minimal primary-beam
sidelobes in the direction of the secondary beam.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of cutting the selvedge on the weft
insertion side on a rapier loom operating with one weft thread supply bobbin. 
     The conventional method of cutting the selvedge presently in use on rapier
looms implies the necessity of forming a false selvedge on the weft insertion
side which then is severed from the edge of the fabric and thus constitutes a
considerable waste of material the economic importance of which increases
with the value of the threads processed. 
     The present invention proposes to eliminate this loss of material and to simplify
the loom design. 
     These objectives of the present invention are attained by completely eliminating
the formation of a false selvedge and by cutting each weft thread as soon
as it is beaten up while it is subject to a tensioning action by a holding device
(13). In this manner fabrics woven from one weft source can be produced provided
with a perfect selvedge without wasting material and using one scissors
(14) device only instead of two as used according to the state of the art.

Abstract: A profile of a rack that may have zero, one, or a plurality of containers
may be obtained using an ultrasonic sensor. The sensor emits a plurality of
ultrasonic bursts and the rack is transported under the sensor at a slow speed that
allows the sensor to detect at least first and second echoes from each of the
bursts. Data points, corresponding to each of the frst and second echoes, are
generated and the data points are captured in a memory device. The data points,
generally reflecting the levels of the rack and any containers, are processed to
dynamically and non-invasively ( i.e ., without physically contacting the liquid with
a probe) determine information about the container types, whether any container
is capped, and, if one or more containers are uncapped, the liquid level in the
uncapped containers. This profiling may be used in a variety of devices and is
particularly useful in a sample handler in an automated analytical instrument,
where the ultrasonic sensor may be positioned above a rack transport mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of disassembling a plasma display
panel ("PDP") for reutilization. A first method adopts a component, which is
thermally not contractible at a softening temperature of bonding material
used for hermetically bonding a front and back panels, and positioned
between the panels. The above component maintains or widens a space
provided between the two panels when the PDP is heated, thereby facilitating
disassembly of the PDP. The invention also provides a groove on a surface of
either or both panels for communicating the bonding material to an exterior of
the PDP. Softened bonding material can be drawn out or absorbed through
the groove. Heating and cooling of the PDP may be made through a
laminated graphite sheet placed on a surface of the PDP for uniformalizing
thermal distribution. A second method separates a PDP into two panels by
immersing the PDP in etching solution capable of selectively dissolving only
lead glass, and melting the bonding material. A groove is provided between
perimeter of an image display screen and bonded portion in order to prevent
etching solution from permeating into the screen area. The groove is formed
on the substrates in parallel with a longitudinal direction of electrodes. The
separated panels are refurbished by restoring a deteriorated or defective
portion into the original condition for use in manufacturing a new PDP.
