Abstract: An image signal, outputted from a host machine, is temporarily stored in an image signal buffer, and converted into bit signals for the heat generating resistors in an image processing circuit. Temperature information is derived from a thermistor attached to a ink jet print head, and converted into a digital signal by an A/D converter, and the digital signal is sent to a processor. The processor determines a correction level on the basis of the location of a block and the number of concurrent drives while referring to a correction-level determining table. The processor then determines a drive pulse condition on the basis of the correction level and a temperature of the ink jet print head while referring to a look-up tables. A drive pulse control circuit prepares a drive pulse signal on the basis of the bit signals of one line and the drive pulse condition, and drives the ink jet print head.

Abstract: A moving member such as an iron sphere made of a magnetic material is contained in a case, and it can move in the case by an external magnetic field. The moving member is moved between a position adjacent to a window of the case and another distant position. Further, the magnetic field is displayed by using the movement of the iron sphere. For example, a word, a sign, a picture or a color for warning the existence of magnetic field is displayed according to the movement of the iron sphere. The moving member can be moved by a magnetic force against the gravity or a spring force. The moving member may be moved with a rotation mechanism around a rotational axis. A modified apparatus comprises a case changing its volume by the movement of the moving member and a display section communicated to the case and having a liquid contained therein. The existence of magnetic field is shown by the existence of the liquid in the display section.

Abstract: Improved curve plotting techniques are disclosed for drawing a substantially smooth curve in real time, from a plurality of sampled points, as the points are sampled, on a point-by-point basis. The curve is substantially smooth in that it has a continuously changing slope of G 1  continuity, as opposed to a slope which changes in a discontinuous or stepwise manner. The curve plotting is performed by representing the x coordinates of the curve using a parametric equation x = [a x  * (t 2 )] + [b x  * t] + [c x ], and by representing the y coordinates of the curve using a second parametric equation y = [a y  * (t 2 )] + [b y  * t] + [c y ], wherein a x , a y , b x , b y , c x , and c y  comprise six unknown quantities, and t is a "dummy" valuable. The derivatives of the parametric equations are employed to calculate and to plot the smooth curve.

Title: Coin acceptance method and apparatus
Inventor: MORUN MARK J
IPC: G07F5/24
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for accepting coins of denominations that have and do not have coin tubes for making change in a coin mechanism is described. One aspect of the invention concerns a method for calculating an overpay amount. The overpay amount is set to equal the value of the lowest value coin with a tube minus the value of the lowest value non-tubed coin. Thus, when the lowest value coin tube is empty a vending machine customer will be permitted to insert low value, non-tubed coins up to the overpay value to increase the likelihood of enabling a vend of an item to take place. Another aspect of the invention relates to the acceptance of high-valued, non-tubed coins. The high-value non-tubed coins are acceptable if adequate change exists in the coin tubes to payback their value plus the value of any existing credit, if their value plus any credit value is greater than the maximum vend price, and if each of the vend prices in the vending machine permit adequate change to be returned to the customer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for matching compressed video signals to a communications channel. The compressed bitstream is partially decompressed and the bitstream is regenerated with a reduced bit rate to match the channel capacity. Specifically, control information is decoded and entropy decoding is performed on the entropy coded, quantized frequency domain data. Then, the quantized frequency domain data is re-quantized and re-entropy coded so that the resulting compressed bitstream does not exceed the channel capacity bit rate. However, this entire rate conversion process is performed without converting the frequency domain data out of the frequency domain (and back again) as is done by prior art techniques. That is, the frequency domain data is not inverse transformed (out of the frequency domain) in the process of re-quantization. In this manner, a compressed and stored video signal can be matched to the constraints of a given communications channel with substantially less computational cost than is required by the techniques of the prior art.

Abstract: One electrical connector 10 has no moving parts and the mating connector 20 has moving parts. This is made possible since connector locking projections 12 and detecting ribs 13, which serve as a first and second abutments respectively, are formed on the outer peripheral surface of one connector 10. The other connector 20, has a locking member 23 that fits with the locking projection 12, and a movable shutter 24 that overlies the locking member 23. The detecting rib 13, engages the shutter 24 which permits bending and thus latching of the locking member 23 only when the shutter 24 is to the retracted position. Once latched the shutter is movable to an advanced position to prevent the connectors being pulled apart.

Abstract: An apparatus capable of normally printing when the
transmission of print data is interrupted by a user is
provided. When the transmission of print data is
interrupted by the user, a computer transmits an
interruption command to a printer, and the printer totally
clear the received data if it has determined that the
interruption command is included in the received data.
Otherwise, the size information of the print data is
transmitted in advance, and determination of whether or not
the print data can totally be received is performed by
comparing the size of the received print data and the size
information when the transmission of the print data ends.
In the above manner, no data remains inevitably in a buffer
