Patent EP-1734415-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KISHIGAMI MINORU
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: An image carrier (20) is adapted such that an electrostatic latent image is formed thereon. A rotary member (50) has a plurality of loading sections (50a,50b,50c,50d) each of which is adapted to accommodate a particular developing device (51) which is operable to develop the electrostatic latent image. A motor (401) is operable to rotate the rotary member so that each of the loading sections is sequentially opposed to the image carrier, and operable to exert a detent torque when no power is supplied thereto. A home position is defined, in a case where only one of the loading sections accommodates its developing device, such that the one of the loading sections is placed either higher or lower than any other loading section. The motor rotates the rotary member to the home position whenever the development of the electrostatic latent image is not performed. The rotary member is retained in the home position with the detent torque exerted by the motor.

Abstract: An image signal processing apparatus and method capable of accurately determining a still image and a moving image irrespective of an image pattern represented by input image signals and performing an interlace-to-progressive conversion process suitable for the image type are provided. First progressive-scheme image signals for one frame are generated by performing interpolation or extrapolation calculation on input interlaced-scheme image signals for each field, and second progressive-scheme image signals for one frame is generated by combining the input image signals of the one and the other fields of two adjacent fields. Next, still image determination is performed to determine whether or not an image for one frame based on the input image signals or an image corresponding to each of display regions divided from the one frame is a still image. When it is determined that the image is a still image and it is determined that the image is not a still image, the first and second progressive-scheme image signals are mixed with each other with different mixing ratios to generate the progressive-scheme image signals.

Abstract: A circuit and method for processing an image to correct the pixel value of a sub-pixel included in color data to reduce color differences. The image processing circuit (10) includes a plurality of defect determination circuits (11R, 11G, 11B) respectively corresponding to a plurality of sub-pixels (colors). Each defect determination circuit (11R, 11G, 11B) determines whether or not the corresponding sub-pixel, or first sub-pixel (R11, G11, B11), includes a defect and generates a determination signal (SR, SG, SB). The defect determination circuits (11R, 11G, 11B) provide each of a plurality of correction circuits (12R, 12G, 12B) respectively corresponding to a plurality of sub-pixels (colors) with the determination signals. Each correction circuit generates a corrected value for the corresponding first sub-pixel when at least one of the determination signal is indicative of a defect.

Abstract: A method for reducing the management costs of plants for bio-conditioning (for example by using activated sludge, biodiscs, attached biomass or trickling filters) municipal and/or industrial wastewater, wherein the method comprises the step of adding to the wastewater to be treated at least one enzymatic-bacterial bioactivator. The effect of this addition, performed directly during bio-oxidation of the wastewater, entails a series of technical effects, including the reduction of the amount of excess sludge and the reduction of oxygen consumption needed for oxidation itself. The achievement of these and other effects leads to a reduction in energy consumption and overall management costs of the entire biological conditioning process. A practical implementation of the present invention, therefore, might be the obtainment of so-called "white certificates", issued by the Italian national authority for electric power and gas in favor of companies which can propose valid solutions to energy saving.
