Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an image output apparatus having the function of adjusting the quality of an input image according to the intended purpose while avoiding the missing of the high-frequency component taking place due to the scanning of the input image. 
     The output target image 101 is formed on the write surface of the optical write type spatial optical modulator 103 by means of the input optical system 102. The input image resulting from the light beam 108 which forms an image on the write surface of the optical write type spatial optical modulator 103 is modulated by the modulation characteristics of the spatial optical modulators controlled by the optical modulation characteristic control circuit 105 included in the drive circuit 104 and appears on the read surface of the optical write type liquid crystal spatial optical modulator. This modulated image is readout by the light beam 109 for forming an output image and is formed as the output image 107 on the final output surface of the apparatus as a whole by means of the output optical system 106. 
     The deterioration of input image information is corrected and the quality of the output image can be adjusted according to the intended purpose.

Abstract: The nut is formed by a finished circular-cylindrical or prismatic hollow body of hard-elastic material. An inner wall has a protrusion oriented obliquely to the axis and integral with the hollow body. The free end cooperates with the free end of the bolt, as a result of which the threaded bolt is axially displaceable in one direction relative to the nut. Elastic deformation of the at least one protrusion is caused. The other protrusion is rotatable relative to the nut and force can be transmitted in the axial direction between the threaded bolt and nut. The protrusion is embodied with an axially protruding extension which extends to approximately the plane of the surface of contact of the nut with the contacting surface.

Abstract: A magnetoresitive transducer has an insulating gap layer (13) of variable thickness. The transducer includes a magnetoresistive layer (12) disposed in an active region, and a first magnetic shield layer (8) disposed in the active region and a field region. An insulating layer is spaced between the magnetoresistive layer (12) and the magnetic shield layer (8). The insulating layer is thinner in the active region than in the field region. The probability of other layers bridging through the insulating layer in the field region is substantially reduced. The method of forming the transducer includes depositing a first insulating layer (24) above the magnetic layer, and then selectively etching the first insulating layer (24) by forming an opening in the active region having a cross-sectional profile sloping inwardly toward the magnetic shield layer (8). Thereafter, an insulating layer is deposited atop the first insulating layer (24) having the opening. The combined insulating layers constitute the gap layer of variable thickness in the magnetoresistive transducer.

Title: Shift control method for automatic transmission
Inventor: SHIMADA TAKAMICHI
IPC: F16H61/08
Filed: 1997-01-07
Abstract: A control for shifting from an off-going speed range to an on-coming speed range comprises an off-going range releasing stage, an on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage, an on-coming range engaging stage and an on-coming range final stage. During the off-going range releasing stage, an off-going engaging element is released in response to a shift command signal. During the on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage, the engagement-actuation pressure of the on-coming engaging element is set at a predetermined high-pressure for a predetermined time period after the shift command signal is generated, whereby the void stroke of the on-coming engaging element is cleared. During the on-coming range engaging stage, after the completion of the on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage, the on-coming engaging element is engaged. During the on-coming range final stage, following the on-coming range engaging stage, the on-coming engaging element is engaged completely. In this control, the predetermined time period for the on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage is corrected for a next shift operation, based on the condition of the engaging operation of the on-coming engaging element. 
     As shown in the left part of the figure maximum value is given during a first time period Tm(1), and the pressure of the on-coming engaging element is rapidly increased to clear the void stroke. After the completion of this stage, the clearing of the void stroke, the command value is lowered. When the on-coming engaging element starts engaging the input/output rotational speed ratio e starts changing. Here, a calculation is made of the rate of change α (1) of the input/output rotational speed ratio e over a predetermined value Δ e of change. This rate of change α (1) is compared with a standard rate of change α S, and the time period Tm for clearing the void stroke is corrected for a next shift operation on the basis of the result of this comparison.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus functions as a timer or counter by
counting clock pulses of a system clock signal to generate a timing signal.
The system clock signal is generated as one of either a first or a second basic
clock signal generated by two respective oscillators. Even if the second
basic clock signal which has a lower frequency fluctuates, the data
processing apparatus can accurately generate a pulse signal having a
desired period. When the first basic clock signal is selected as the system
clock signal, the second basic clock signal is measured with the system clock
signal. When the second basic clock signal is selected as the system clock
signal, a numerical value up to which the clock pulses of the system clock
signal are counted is corrected on the basis of the measured second basic
clock signal.
