Inventor: NUSS MARTIN C
IPC: G01R31/308
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: Certain material and objects can be characterized by a frequency-dependent
absorption, dispersion, and reflection of terahertz transients in
signals which pass illuminate the material or object. The present terahertz
imaging system analyses that frequency dependence in the time-domain by
collecting that transmitted signal propagating through the object and then
processing the information contained in those signals for every point or
"pixel" on that object. This is a non-invasive imaging technique that is
capable of differentiating between different materials, chemical compositions,
or environments.

IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 1997-09-04
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of inhibiting
a print artifact on a print medium (12) using an ink jet
printer. The ink jet printer includes a tri-color ink
jet 5 cartridge assembly (10) with a cyan ink, magenta
ink and yellow ink defining available color inks which
may be selectively jetted onto the print medium (12).
The ink jet cartridge assembly (10) is scannable in a
scan direction and the print medium (12) is movable in
an advance direction. During normal printing, the ink
jet cartridge assembly (10) is scanned across the print
medium (12) and prints on the print medium using the
available color inks. When an impending printer pause
is detected, the ink jet cartridge assembly (10) is
scanned across the print medium (12) in a scan
immediately prior to the printer pause and prints on the
print medium (12) using only the cyan ink and the yellow
ink. Immediately after the printer pause, the ink jet
cartridge assembly (lo) is scanned across the print
medium (12) without advancing the print medium in the
advance direction and prints on the print medium (12)
using only the magenta ink.

Abstract: A subject is to select a type of an output depending on
a user's state. A file type recognizer (14) recognizes whether
an incoming file has audio data, graphic data, or text data,
and informs a command processor (26) of it. The command
processor (26) determines whether a vehicle is in motion or not
by a detection result from a motion/speed sensor (28), and
controls a graphic/audio converter (20) and a text/audio
converter (24). If a vehicle is in motion, text data is
converted to audio data by the text/audio converter (24) and
output from a speaker (18). Graphic data is converted into an
audio summary by a graphic data converter and output from the
speaker (18).

Abstract: Connected to a sterilizing chamber 2 which contains
an article are a hydrogen peroxide gas feeder 6, a vacuum
pump 12 for drawing gas from the chamber, and an air inlet 24
which is connected through a sterilizing filter 26. Also
connected to the chamber 2 is a circulation path 34 including
an outlet valve 38, a circulating fan 36 and an inlet valve
40, and a platinum catalyst 46 is disposed in the circulation
path 34. Initially, an article is contained in the chamber 2,
which is drawn to a vacuum condition, whereupon hydrogen
peroxide gas is fed to the chamber for sterilization. The
suction and the gas feeding are alternately repeated. After
the sterilization, the vacuum pump 12 draws gas from the
chamber 2 to establish a vacuum condition. Sterilized air is
then introduced into the chamber 2, thus recovering a
pressure which is slightly below the atmospheric pressure.
Valves 38, 40 in the circulation path 34 are opened and the
circulating fan 36 is operated, causing the gas in the
chamber 2 to circulate. Hydrogen peroxide gas is adsorped by
platinum, allowing a degassing operation to be completed in a
reduced length of time.

Abstract: An MRI apparatus for imaging an object includes a base, a pair of
magnets, and a transceiver unit. The magnets are mounted on the base with
the North pole face of one magnet facing the South pole face of the other
magnet. The North pole face and the South pole face are each substantially
arcuate, and are positioned on the base to establish a magnetic field in a
substantially U-shaped region between the North pole face and the South
pole face. Importantly, imaging is performed in a nonhomogeneous portion
of this magnetic field. This portion is characterized by substantially parallel
surfaces having mutually different constant magnetic field magnitudes.
Importantly, the space between the magnets at the top of the U-shaped
region creates an access into the U-shaped region. To image an object, the
object is placed through the access and into the portion of the magnetic field
having surfaces of constant magnetic field magnitude. The transceiver unit is
then used to selectively irradiate each surface in the magnetic field with
electromagnetic radiation to image the object over each surface.

Abstract: A metering roller (30) and feed guide (28/128) are included in a desktop printer
between a first roller (22) and a print zone (18). During first side printing, a media sheet (38) is
fed along the first roller and directed by an upper feed guide (26) over the refeed guide to a second
roller. The metering roller feeds the media sheet through the print zone. As the trailing edge
approaches a metering pinch line, the metering roller stops. After a drying time, the second roller
reverses direction moving the media sheet back toward the refeed guide. The refeed guide blocks
the original path and directs the media sheet toward a repick guide and the first roller. The media
sheet is fed onto the first roller for second side printing. In one embodiment the media sheet is
wrapped around the first roller and unwrapped into the input tray (12) during the refeed process to
accommodate long media sheets.
