Abstract: A fixing heater comprises a substrate (1) having an insulative property and a heat generating member (2) with electrical resistance printed on a surface of the substrate. (1) The heat generating member is a film-like shape having a direction and a pair of edge portions opposing one another, wherein one of the edge portions is trimmed in the direction. The heat generating member has a heat generating portion having opposing one and another edge portions, wherein one of the edge portions is trimmed in the direction throughout the heat generating portion. The heat generating portion is trimmed so as to provide the trimmed edge having partially different width along the direction. The fixing heater is manufactured by trimming one edge of the heat generating member in the direction throughout the heat generating portion and further trimming the trimmed edge on the basis of an amount of a resistance value change of the heat generating member before and after or during the former trimming step to obtain a predetermined resistance value or resistance value distribution. The trimming steps are performed by means of laser beam. A generating temperature controlling portion may be formed to the heat generating member. (Fig. 1A, 1B)

Abstract: An improved paging system has functions not only for detecting the omission of message reception but also for acquiring the unreceived message. 
     When a normal paging request call from a public telephone network is made, the paging control unit adds to the value of a message counter (56) of the called subscriber's number and transmits an encoded paging signal which includes the value from the transmitter and further stores the message data in a storage unit (63) corresponding to the value of the counter of the called subscriber's number. A called pager detects the omission of message reception through the received message counter value by comparison with message counter value of the last message signal and displays a message indicating an omission as well as the value of an omitted message. A call can be made to request repeat transmission through a public telephone network, and when the message counter value is specified, the paging control unit retrieves the message data stored in the message data storage unit (63) corresponding to the specified value and transmits the data from the transmitter.
Patent EP-0519589-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HADFIELD KEVIN ANTHONY DEREK
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1992-04-22
Abstract: In a pulse generating circuit each output pulse is produced in response to a counter counting a predetermined number of clock pulses. While the same number of pulses are counted each time, the intermediate count states used to produce consecutive output pulses are different. This reduces or eliminates coherent interference produced by the counter during counting which would otherwise give rise to visually intrusive banding (Fig. 1). 
     When used to generate timing pulses for a video imager, the circuit produces a randomly or pseudo-randomly scattered interference pattern (Fig. 2). While the actual amount of interference is unchanged, the distributed pattern is subjectively less objectionable than the visually intrusive regular banded interference pattern produced by a conventional counter which always uses the same count sequence.

Filed: 1993-12-17
Abstract: An electronic apparatus (for example, a portable computer) which includes two portions (for example a display and a keyboard) which are connected, electrically, by a flexible cable. The apparatus provides a unique coupling scheme wherein a movable member is used which moves (for example, rotationally) on at least a part of each of the two portions in a manner substantially independent of the motion of such parts. The flexible cable passes through this member (through opposite openings in the sides thereof) and, significantly, engages the member during movement (pivotal) of one/both of the two portions to assist in effecting the member's rotation. Such movement is attained without harm to the cable, while assuring a compact design for the final product incorporating the coupling structure.

Abstract: A computer controlled exercise machine in which the user selects an exercise mode and its profile by programming the computer (10). Signals are produced by the program to control a resistive force producing device (54). Sensors produce data signals corresponding to the force applied to an actuating member (36) of the system, velocity of movement and angular position which are continuously sampled at a high rate by a microprocessor (24) operating under control of the program. The sampled data values are used to update and display performance results for the exercise and to compute the values of other parameters and, in some exercise modes, to control the amount of the resistive force (54).

Title: High efficiency infrared source
Inventor: DRAKE DAVID M
IPC: H01K13/00
Filed: 1993-05-24
Abstract: An infrared source for use in an infrared spectrometer includes an insulator core (19) having a containment cavity, an outlet port in communication with the containment cavity, and an electrically heated infrared element (41) mounted in the containment cavity (38) with a portion thereof facing the outlet port and with the walls of the containment cavity (38) closely spaced to the infrared element. The insulator core is formed of a ceramic fiber material which has excellent resistance to heat and very low thermal conductivity so that very little heat from the infrared element escapes from the insulator core except as infrared radiation through the outlet port. The insulator core is preferably mounted within a central cavity of a metal housing, and may be sealed off from the ambient atmosphere by an infrared transmissive window (24) sealed to an outlet opening in the housing. The electrical supply lines (15) from the infrared element may extend through an opening in the housing which is closed and sealed to inhibit the passage of gases from the ambient atmosphere into the interior of the housing. Where the infrared element is sealed off from the ambient atmosphere in this manner, potentially corrosive gases will be inhibited from reaching the hot infrared element. This containment of the infrared element within the insulator core allows the element to be maintained at a desired temperature for radiating infrared for use in analytical instruments such as infrared spectrometers, while consuming very low amounts of electrical power.

IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1993-06-04
Abstract: A posting memory used in conjunction with a drive array to increase the performance of fault tolerant disk array write operations. When the posting memory flushes dirty data back to the disk array, the posting memory coalesces or gathers contiguous small write or partial stripe write requests into larger, preferably full stripe writes. This reduces the number of extra read operations necessary to update parity information. In this manner, the actual number of reads and writes to the disk array to perform the transfer of write data to the disk array is greatly reduced. In addition, when the posting memory is full, the posting memory delays small, i.e., partial stripe writes but allows full stripe writes or greater to pass directly to the disk array. This reduces the frequency of partial stripe writes and increases disk array performance.
