Patent EP-0917098-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAJIMA TOSHIAKI
IPC: B41J2/44
Filed: 1998-11-05
Abstract: A head controller (2) reads out adjustment data from a ROM (3)
immediately after a power-on operation. The adjustment data is prepared
for adjusting unevenness of light emission from LEDs in a LED head (5). A
buffer memory (4) stores the read adjustment data. The head controller (2)
reads the adjustment data from the buffer memory (4) with high data transfer
rate, and obtains bitmap data from a frame memory or the like (not shown).
The head controller (2) sends the read bitmap data and the adjustment data
to an anode driver (51). The head controller (2) sends a strobe signal to the
anode driver (51) and a cathode driver (53). The anode driver (51) adjusts
ampere of supplied currents (i.e. drive signals corresponding to the bitmap
data) from the head controller (2), in accordance with the received adjustment
data in response to the reception of the strobe signal. The adjusted drive
signals are sent to LED array chips (52). At the same time, the cathode
driver (53) selects one of the LED array chips (52) in accordance with the
received strobe signal so that the LEDs emit even lights. The optical writing
head driving device (1) performs the above operations repeatedly to
sequentially emit lights from the LEDs chip by chip under time sharing control
for 1 line writing. As a result, the bitmap data is written onto a photosensitive
member evenly at a high speed.

Abstract: Disclosed is an IC card connector in which the amount
the IC card is discharged can be increased even if the
operating force applied to the push rod is reduced. A first
support shaft 15 and a second support shaft 16 protrude from
a pin housing 10 which is provided with a large number of
pin contacts, and an eject lever 13 is rotatably supported
by the first support shaft 15. A push rod 12 is supported
so as to be capable of reciprocating by a frame 11 which is
formed into an integral unit with the pin housing 10, and
the forward end of the push rod 12 is engaged with the eject
lever 13. A drive lever 14 having a claw portion 14b for
pushing out the IC card 1 is rotatably supported by the
second support shaft 16. Formed on this drive lever 14 are
a first engagement member 14c which is farther from the

which is nearer to the second support shaft 16, these
engagement portions 14c and 14d protruding into joint holes
13c and 13d formed in the eject lever 13. When the eject
lever 13 rotates upon the depressing of the push rod 12,
power is transmitted to the drive lever 14 through the first
engagement member 14c in the initial stage of the rotation,
and, halfway through the rotation, the power transmitting
section for rotating the lever 14 is changed from the first
engagement member 14c to the second engagement member 14d.

Abstract: A method is provided for programming a digital hearing aid using a program encoded in an audio band (20 Hz-20 kHz) signal, to transmit and verify programs and algorithm parameters. Preferably, this is in a digital hearing aid including filterbanks, filtering the audio signal into different frequency bands. The signal is encoded by the presence and absence of a signal in each frequency band or by other well-known modulation techniques used by computer modems. Special programming signals are provided alternating between the frequency bands in a manner to clearly distinguish the program data from any other interfering or normally present audio signal. The method does not require additional hardware, and offers reduced power consumption, as compared to some known wireless programming interfaces. It enables remote programming over a network using standard multimedia computer hardware.

Abstract: A process for the stereoselective reduction via a Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV)
reaction, of a carbonyl compound to the corresponding alcohol. A preferred starting carbonyl
compound is a ketone compound wherein the carbonyl carbon is prochiral. The starting
carbonyl compound is contacted with an MPV mediator such as aluminum isopropoxide.
The reaction is conducted under mild conditions, e.g. temperatures of about 50°C or less, for
less than four hours, and is capable of producing an excess (about 90% to about 97% or more)
of a desired optically active chiral alcohol. The mild reaction conditions preserve the optical
orientation of other asymmetric centers in the carbonyl compound starting material.

call control signals originate with the customer's PBX or
