Abstract: The invention pertains to a delivery device for controlling the injection of discrete quantities of fluid injectable materials through a conduit such as a hypodermic needle or a catheter. The delivery device is coupled to a pressurized driving fluid source, and the control means provides controlled passage of pressurized driving fluid into a syringe body to act against a piston which forces the fluid injectable material out the needle or catheter. 
     In addition to the delivery device, the invention includes a needle depth guide which is preferably used in combination with the delivery device for cosmetic applications when a hypodermic needle is used to deliver a fluid injectable material to the dermis.

Abstract: A high torque motor drive, for rotating turntables, moving optical pickups in CD players, and other applications, employs two motors, drivingly connected in parallel. The outputs of motors used in compact machines are characterized by torque ripple curves in which torque peaks occur at predictable rotational phase angles of the motor's rotor. In the present invention, the rotors of the motors are interconnected by the drive train in such a way that the torque ripples cancel each other out. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the torque ripple curve has torque peaks that occur every 60 degrees of angular displacement of the rotor. The rotors of the two motors are drivingly interconnected to maintain a one-to-one relationship between the rotor angular positions. The stators of the motors are positioned so that the torque peaks of one of the two motors occurs at a time different from those of the other motor. At least partial cancellation of the torque peaks is achieved. If only partial cancellation occurs, the result is that the drive cogs at a frequency that is twice that of a single motor. In addition, the stopping resolution for the drive of the invention is lower than in a system that employs one motor. Thus a CD player's optical pickup positioning resolution can be substantially increased. Smooth drive output is also achieved, which is a benefit for rotating a CD's turntable. Moreover, high torque is available in a compact unitary configuration.

Abstract: A hub (4) rotates around a spindle (2) on bearings (6, 8) which have angular raceways (40) so that the bearings (6, 8) are capable of carrying both axial and radial loads may be adjusted into a condition of preload with an axially directed force applied to one of the races (34, 36), usually the outboard race (34) on the spindle (2). That force which represents the preload in the bearings (6, 8), is transmitted through a force sensor (52) which produces a signal that reflects the magnitude of the force. By monitoring the force sensor (52), one can adjust the bearings (6, 8) to a desired preload.

Abstract: The device feeding flat sheets (14) into a machine has a magazine (6), with a bottom (8) and a front wall (9), in which a pile of sheets is placed. Driving parts (20) on a drive shaft displace a sheet from the pile and lead it into a machine. There are parts (48) for retaining the sheets in the pile under the raised sheet. The retaining part is constituted by a small fibre velour strips arranged on the front wall of the magazine. These fibres have a resistance to displacement adapted to retain the sheets by their front edge and allow the raised sheet to be driven by the driving parts. The front wall of the magazine has a plane (45) inclined to the normal at the bottom. The fibre strips are fixed in hollows (47) in the inclined plane. The depth of these hollows is less than the fibre length so that they pass beyond the upper surface of the inclined plane and engage with the front edge of the sheets.

Abstract: A software/firmware based method for determining gray level values to be assigned to a binary pixel image initially creates a linked list of templates, each template associated with a gray level value to be assigned to an image pixel value. Each template may include a central pixel value and plural neighbor pixel values or just plural neighbor values. However, each template is a listing of entries of template pixel values that are generally arranged in increasing concentric circles about the central pixel value. Each template entry includes a field for a template pixel value, a field for a template pixel address and a link field for a next template entry, in the event of a non-match determination between the associated template pixel value and an image pixel value. The method selects an image pixel window from the binary image and compares a central image pixel in the window with a logically, correspondingly located template pixel value. If a match is found, a next image pixel is compared against a next template entry to determine if a match occurs. This procedure continues, assuming matches are found, until all entries in the template have been tested and found to match, in which case, the central pixel of the image pixel window is changed in accordance with the gray level value associated with the matching template. If, at any time, a non-match occurs, the procedure moves to a linked template entry and the comparison procedure continues in another template. The invention enables a binary search to be executed which identifies a matching template (if any) after considering, on the average, between 5 to 10 entries.

In a standby mode after establishment of the downlink communication path, the downlink signal (212) is transmitted at a low power level and a low transmit rate with the receiver (202) operating at the low transmit rate. In a traffic mode upon a request for wireless communication transmission, the downlink signal (212) is transmitted at a high power level and a high transmit rate with the receiver (202) adjusting to operate at the high transmit rate. Upon completion of the wireless communication transmission, the wireless telecommunications system (1) returns to the standby mode and the receiver (202) adjusts to operate at the low transmit rate.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé, ainsi que sur l'appareil correspondant, destinés à procurer un retour de force à un utilisateur faisant fonctionner un dispositif à interface homme-machine, conjointement à une interface graphique homme-machine (IUG) visualisée par un système informatique hôte. Un objet physique, tel qu'une manette de jeu ou une souris, agit sur un objet graphique, un curseur par exemple, dans l'IUG. Celle-ci permet à l'utilisateur d'opérer une jonction avec des fonctions du système d'exploitation mises en oeuvre par le système informatique. L'ordinateur hôte produit un signal destiné au dispositif à interface afin de donner une sensation de force s'exerçant sur l'objet physique par le biais d'un ou de plusieurs actionneurs. Cette sensation de force souhaitée, qui se combine avec l'un au moins des objets graphiques et les fonctions du système d'exploitation de l'interface graphique homme-machine, est déterminée par un emplacement du curseur dans l'IUG par rapport à des cibles associées aux objets graphiques. Au nombre de ces derniers figurent des icônes, des menus se déroulant et des éléments de menu, des barres de défilement ('glisseurs') ainsi que des boutons. La sensation de force, qui aide l'utilisateur à choisir une fonction du système d'exploitation, peut également constituer une information concernant les objets graphiques rencontrés par le curseur à l'intérieur de l'IUG. Il est possible d'utiliser un microprocesseur relevant du dispositif à interface mais séparé de l'ordinateur hôte pour agir sur des forces s'exerçant sur l'objet physique.

Abstract: When a multiple-color image is printed by electrophotography, unwanted spaces are produced between different colors. These spaces are attributed to non-development of toner caused by the involvement of an electric field at the boundary of an electrostatic latent image formed on a photosensitive drum. Accordingly, when a data conversion is made from two-bit data of the bitmap to eight-bit data that are for modulating a light signal, a pixel of interest and the neighboring 9 × 9 pixels are stored and reference is made to the state thereof. If the pixel of interest is a white pixel and the neighboring pixels are all non-white pixels, then the pixel of interest is not left at a value corresponding to white but is converted to a value corresponding to such a potential that will not develop toner. The photosensitive drum is irradiated with a laser based upon the data resulting from the conversion. Thus, a sudden conversion of potential from a potential corresponding to white to a potential corresponding to the maximum density is eliminated at the outline of the image. This makes it possible to prevent the involvement of an electric field at the edge of the image and, hence, to prevent the occurrence of unwanted spaces between colors.
