Inventor: TAKEUCHI AKIHIKO
IPC: G03G15/16
Filed: 1997-10-30
Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image
bearing member for carrying toner images of different
colors; a rotatable intermediary transfer member to
which the toner images are superimposedly transferred
from said image bearing member onto said intermediary
transfer member at a first transfer position, wherein
the toner images are then transferred all together
from said intermediary transfer member onto the
transfer material at a second transfer position;
wherein said intermediary transfer member includes an
elastic layer having a thickness of 0.5-2(mm), a
coating layer, on said elastic layer, having a volume
resistivity which is larger than that of said elastic
layer, and said intermediary transfer member
satisfies:
 T≤τ≤500 (sec) 
   where τ (sec) is time required for a
potential V of said intermediary transfer member at
one second after a surface of said intermediary
transfer member charged to a predetermined potential
rotates at a rotational speed of 10 (cm/s) to become
V/e (e: base of natural logarithm, e=2.71828...); and
T (sec) is a rotation period of said intermediary
transfer member when the toner images on said image
bearing member are sequentially and superimposedly
transferred onto said intermediary transfer member at 
the first transfer position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding a bitstream (100) of transform coded multi-channel audio data. The bitstream is subjected to a block decoding process (101) to obtain for each input audio channel within the multi-channel audio data a corresponding block of frequency coefficients (102). Each block of frequency coefficients (102) is assigned a higher precision inverse transform or a lower precision inverse transform according to predetermined characteristics of the audio data represented by the block. The blocks of frequency coefficients are subsequently subjected to the assigned transform (105, 106) and an output audio signal (108) is generated in response to each of the higher and lower precision inverse transform processes.

Abstract: In an air conditioner with electronic dust collector having an electronic dust
collector incorporated in the casing of the interior unit of the air conditioner,
electrification of the casing is prevented and dust is less apt to be adsorbed to the casing,
thereby preventing generation of dust. Due to the electric line of force by the discharge
effect of the dust collector, the casing per se tends to be electrified, but when the casing is
grounded, static electricity of the casing can be eliminated, and accordingly, casing is
prevented from soiling with dust or fine particles.

Abstract: The root shape of a flash formed in the friction-welded
joint is controlled by introducing an upset delay
time interposed between termination of the friction step
and commencement of the upset step and by controlling the
upset displacement speed. This provides a friction-welded
joint having a tensile strength and a fatigue
strength which are comparable with those of TIG- or MIG-welded
joints and enables aluminum alloy hollow members
to be produced by friction welding instead of TIG or MIG
welding. Typically, the upset delay time is 0.4 to
0.8 sec and the upset displacement speed is 5.0 to
70.0 mm/sec to form a flash having a flash root radius of
0.5 mm or more and a flash root angle of 75 deg or less.

Abstract: A system and method for constructing three-dimensional images using camera-based gesture inputs of a system user. The system comprises a computer-readable memory, a video camera for generating video signals indicative of the gestures of the system user and an interaction area surrounding the system user, and a video image display. The video image display is positioned in front of the system users. The system further comprises a microprocessor for processing the video signals, in accordance with a program stored in the computer-readable memory, to determine the three-dimensional positions of the body and principle body parts of the system user. The microprocessor constructs three-dimensional images of the system user and interaction area on the video image display based upon the three-dimensional positions of the body and principle body parts of the system user. The video image display shows three-dimensional graphical objects superimposed to appear as if they occupy the interaction area, and movement by the system user causes apparent movement of the superimposed, three-dimensional objects displayed on the video image display.

Abstract: A method of reducing the thickness t of a layer of material on a substrate, whereby the substrate is exposed to an etchant for a span of time sufficient to reduce t to a value t0, at which point exposure to the etchant is interrupted, whereby: the thickness t0 is determined using monitoring means which, at any given instant, allow determination of the depth Δt of material which has been etched away; the monitoring means are embodied as a resonant crystal whose resonant frequency f at any given instant is a function of the mass m of the crystal at that instant; the crystal is coated with a layer of reference material of thickness d, which material can be etched using the same etchant as for the material on the substrate; the crystal is exposed to the etchant simultaneously with the substrate, thus causing m to decrease as reference material is etched away, a decrease Δm in m corresponding to a decrease Δd in d, in turn corresponding to a decrease Δt in t; the resonant frequency f is monitored so as to identify the increase Δf in f corresponding to a decrease Δm in m, in turn corresponding to a decrease Δt in t; exposure of both the substrate and the crystal to the etchant is interrupted upon attainment of a frequency f0 = f + Δf corresponding to the desired value t0 = t - Δt. In a particular example, the substrate is a semiconductor device, the material on the substrate is silicon oxide and the etchant is aqueous hydrogen fluoride.
