Patent EP-0835025-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAKUTANI TOSHIAKI
IPC: B41J2/52
Filed: 1997-10-01
Abstract: In a printer for printing an image by a distribution of dots
having different densities per unit area or dots having different
hues, the structure of the present invention accurately determines
the on/off state of the different dots and ensures high quality
printing. Recording ratios Rn and Rt of deep dots and light dots
corresponding to input tone data DS in a target pixel are read from
a map representing the relationship between the recording ratios
and the tone data. The systematic dither method is adopted to
determine formation or non-formation of a deep dot in the target
pixel. This method compares the recording radio Rn of deep dots
with a threshold value Dref corresponding to the target pixel and
read from a threshold matrix TM. In the case where a deep dot is
not formed, the recording ratio Rt of light dots is corrected by
adding the recording ratio Rn of deep dots and subsequently
compared with the same threshold value Dref to determine formation
or non-formation of a light dot in the target pixel. The structure
of the present invention uses only one threshold matrix to realize
desired recording ratios without causing any overlap of deep dots
with light dots. This structure is also applicable to dots having
different hues. In this case, one threshold matrix is used to
determine the on/off state of dots having different hues without
causing any interference of the different hues.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low gloss coating composition having a 75 °sheet
gloss of 50 % or less which is useful for improving the print quality of inks applied to the low
gloss coating composition. The low gloss coating composition is particularly useful for
increasing the difference in gloss, or delta gloss, between a substrate coated with the low
gloss composition and ink applied to the low gloss coated substrate.

Abstract: Meteorological radar precipitation pattern prediction methods and apparatus
are provided, by which operational costs can be reduced, a series of physical
processes in a precipitation region and topographical influences can be considered.
The main method has the steps of inputting radar images of a precipitation region
storing the input radar images as time-series two-dimensional images; calculating
various image-feature quantities with respect to two or more of the stored two-dimensional
past images; calculating a spatial-temporal transition of the amount of
precipitation using an advection-diffusion equation system which indicates various
physical effects relating to precipitation phenomena, with the various image-feature
quantities as initial values; predicting transition of a pattern with respect to the
precipitation region based on results of the calculation; and outputting predicted
results as time-series images. Preferably, the advection-diffusion equation system
includes time, advection, diffusion, source, sink, and dispersion terms, and a gray-level
at each pixel is supplied to the equation as a variable corresponding to an
amount of precipitation. If the advection-diffusion equation system includes an
advection term which is a product of an advection vector and the first derivative with
respect to a gray-level of a relevant pixel in a precipitation pattern, the amount of
precipitation is varied according to transition of advection vectors.

Title: Determination de trajets dans un reseau comprenant des noeuds et des liaisons
Inventor: MEREDITH CHRISTOPHER NIGEL
IPC: G08G1/0968
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé pour déterminer des trajets de longueurs minimales à travers un réseau comprenant des noeuds et des liaisons. Dans ce procédé, les données définissant les noeuds et les liaisons sont divisées en deux niveaux de noeuds et de liaisons, le premier niveau supérieur étant utilisé pour déterminer la majeure partie du trajet. Les noeuds de niveau inférieur sont reliés en un point spécifique d'une ou plusieurs des liaisons de niveau supérieur. Si un point de départ ou de fin d'un trajet se trouve dans le groupe de niveau inférieur, on complète le trajet en ajoutant le noeud de départ et/ou de fin conduisant à ce premier groupe ainsi que les liaisons provenant de ce noeud à tous les noeuds du premier groupe auxquels il est relié. Ainsi, le temps servant à créer ledit trajet est réduit au minimum, étant donné le moins grand nombre de noeuds et de liaisons devant être examinés pour créer ledit trajet.

Abstract: A commutation circuit for a switched reluctance
electric motor. Each phase coil in the motor discharges
through a resistance. The resistance is progressively
increased during discharge, to thereby decrease the
overall time required for full discharge. This decrease
in discharge time allows each phase coil to pass current
for a longer time, thereby increasing torque which the
motor produces.

Abstract: Halftone-dot image data (H) in a position space is
converted into data (S1) in a frequency space by fast
Fourier transform unit (40), and data (S2) including low-frequency
noise components whose frequency is lower than the
fundamental frequency component of halftone dots is
extracted from the data in the frequency space by a low-pass
filter (42). The extracted data including the frequency
noise components is inversely converted into image data (N)
in the position space by an inverse fast Fourier transform
unit (44). Pixels of the halftone-dot image data (H) in
positions which correspond to pixels including the noise
components in the inversely converted image data (N) are
corrected by a corrector (46) such that the noise components
will be reduced. The correcting process is in the position
space, and can simply be carried out. A binary halftone-dot
image generated from the corrected halftone-dot image data
(Ha) is substantially free of any moire pattern which would
otherwise be caused by an interference between the output
resolution of an image output device and the frequency of
halftone dots.
