Abstract: An optical information recording medium includes a
transparent substrate, a thin film layer formed on said
transparent substrate and having a recording film, a thin
film protecting film formed on said thin film layer, and
a substrate protecting film formed on said transparent
substrate. A neutral plane of deformation caused by a
temperature change of the optical information recording
medium is present within the thin film layer.
Consequently, it has become possible to provide an
optical information recording medium which can prevent
deformation (warpage) caused by temperature and humidity
changes and be readily manufactured.

Abstract: To provide a controller of an automation device in a forging press
capable of preventing the occurrence of a phenomenon in which raw materials
are progressively transported in a partially lacked state and enhancing forging
accuracy productivity, an inlet side transportation device includes a raw material
detector for detecting whether a raw material to be supplied to a transfer feeder
has been supplied or not and a controller for controlling the feed operation of
the transfer feeder. When the controller receives a detection signal indicating
that the raw material has supplied from the detector, the controller causes the
transfer feeder to perform an ordinary feed operation, whereas when the
controller does not receive the detection signal from the detector, the controller
temporarily stops the transfer feeder at a waiting position, and when the
controller receives a detection signal of a raw material supplied next within the
set time of the temporary stop, the controller starts the transfer feeder, whereas
when the controller does not receive the detection signal of the raw material
within the set time, the controller starts the transfer feeder simultaneously with
the finish of the set time.

Abstract: A handover processing method in a satellite
communications system allowing stable and reliable handover
process is disclosed. Schedule information is previously
registered in each of the satellites. The schedule
information of each satellite includes a radius of a coverage
area thereof, a point of time provided thereto, and physical
locations of a center point of the coverage area thereof
according to the point of time. A handover start time is
calculated based on the schedule information and the physical
location of a mobile station. A control signal regarding the
handover start time is transmitted to an adjacent satellite.
Since the handover start time is known in advance at both the
first satellite and the adjacent satellite, the handover can
be performed and completed between them without sending
handover request signal.

IPC: B41J15/00

Abstract: For in-line printing and processing of successive
portions of a band material, the portions are each printed
in a printing position (5; 157) and processed in a
processing position (36; 43), both along that transport path
(1; 101). The band material is advanced at least once over a
predetermined distance along the transport path (1; 101) for
transferring portions of the band material from the printing
position (5) or the processing position, to the processing
position (36; 43) or, respectively, the printing position
(157). Since the printing is carried out incrementally in
accordance with the incremental formation of the printing,
changes in the printing from portion to portion can be
implemented easily. Since each printed portion is advanced
over a remaining portion of the predetermined distance after
printing, it is assured in a simple manner that the
printings are accurately aligned in transport direction for
processing to be performed.
Patent EP-1032131-A2 (EP)

Abstract: An H-bridge circuit (100) uses NMOS transistors for upper (125,165) and lower (145,185) sets of transistors.
An inductive head (190) is coupled between the terminals (135,175) of the transistors. When a logic
signal is received, one of the upper transistors (125,165) is driven responsive to the logic signal. A
corresponding lower transistor (145,185) is also driven, forcing current through the inductive head
in a first direction. The driving circuit (130,170) for the lower transistors (145,185) includes a programmable
circuit (200) structured to capacitively couple the output (250) of the driving circuit to a pull-up
voltage, thereby allowing the current forced through the inductive head to be maximized
for optimum data transfer. Within the programmable voltage boost circuit are several
logic gates (210,220,230), each coupled to a capacitor (216,226,236) of differing value. The inductive head is tested to
determine the capacitance value to be coupled to the lower driving transistors. Codes are
stored on the chip that identify the corresponding logic gates which are enabled when the
H-bridge circuit is operational. The boosted driving circuits quickly change the direction
of the flux through the inductive head.

Abstract: Tone sequences in a frequency hopping arrangement are generated and assigned
by advantageously employing a combination of a sequence generator and a sequence
assignor to generate sequences and assign them on a time slot by time slot basis. In a
transmitter, the sequence generator and sequence assignor, in combination with a user
tone assignor are employed to generate and assign tone sequences to a user on a time
slot by time slot basis. In a receiver, the sequence generator and sequence assignor, in
combination with a user tone identifier are employed to generate sequences and to
identify incoming tone sequences to a user on a time slot by time slot basis.
Specifically, the sequence assignment in a time slot is such that a prescribed plurality of
sequences is assigned to a particular user. This partitioning of the tasks facilitates the
use of a sequence generator that generates sequences with the desirable properties of
interference and frequency diversity and, which, leaves the task of properly assigning
these sequences among one or more users to the sequence assignor. The sequence
assignor functions in such a manner that the interference and frequency diversity
properties for the one or more users are preserved, and this is further facilitated by
assigning sequences in such a manner that they maximally overlap prior assigned
sequences. In one embodiment of the invention, a Latin square based sequence is
generated in accordance with a first prescribed process. In a second embodiment of the
invention, a Latin cube based sequence is generated in accordance with a second
prescribed process. In a third embodiment of the invention, a Latin hypercube of
prescribed dimension based sequence is generated in accordance with a third prescribed
process. In still another embodiment of the invention, the principles of the invention are
employed to realize frequency band hopping.
