Patent EP-0685818-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAGITA OSAMU
IPC: B41J29/46
Filed: 1995-06-02
Abstract: Described is an error control system that allows the user to check the content of an error after the error has occurred and prevents the user from wasting paper. The system is designed for printers that continue to print when an error not requiring a stoppage of printing has occurred. When an error not requiring the printer to stop has occurred during printing, the content of an error is written into an error log, and the operation of printing subsequent pages continues. Thereafter, when the power supply of the printer is turned off and turned on again, the system checks whether or not data is present in the error log. If the data is present, the error data in the error log is printed out along with status data for the printer on a status sheet. The error log is cleared thereafter. Preferably, even if an error that does not require printing to stop occurs, if the accumulated number of occurrences of such error has risen to a predetermined value, the printer stops the printing operation temporarily and warns the user to eliminate the cause of the error.

Abstract: An idle control system comprises an engine speed determining unit, a unit for determining the number of operating cylinders, a valve stopping unit for stopping the operation of inlet and exhaust valve of some of cylinders, an idle control parameter calculating unit, and an engine speed control unit. The idle control parameter calculating unit calculates at least a target idle speed and a target idle position as idle control parameters according to the data on the number of operating cylinders. The engine speed control unit controls an idle speed control valve so as to remove a deviation of an actual engine speed from the target engine speed, or based on a target deviation compensating gain or a corrected target position obtained by a calculated position correcting means. Thus, the engine can operate stably according to the idle control method of the present invention even when it is switched to a partial operation from a full operation or vice versa and is subject to a sudden torque change during idling.

Abstract: A surface of a pyroelectric layer (1) of a latent image charge keeping medium (3) is selectively heated by a thermal head (4) according to a video signal. In a heated portion of the medium (3), there is collected electric charge to form an elecrtrostatic latent image (17) on the surface of the pyroelectric layer (1). When the latent image (17) is developed by a developer (7), a developing sleeve (10) is applied with an appropriate bias voltage obtained according to temperatures of the thermal head (4), the latent image charge keeping medium (3) and the apparatus sensed by temperature sensors (21, 21a, 21b). This keeps the potential contrast between the latent image (17) and the sleeve (10) to remain within a favorable range in any situation. Consequently, even when the charge density of the latent image becomes excessive due to, for example, heat accumulation of the thermal head (4), it is possible to prevent increase in the recording density so as to suppress the foggy portion in the picture.

Abstract: A compact and low fuel consumption flame ionization detector includes a precisely pored metallic disk or a silicon micro-machined diffuser plate through which the sample gas tube extends a minimum distance (less than 2 mm). The oxidant flows into the detector in a direction parallel to a plane of the diffuser plate, passes into a small cavity under the diffuser, and then passes through a large number of very small holes formed in the diffuser plate before encountering the sample gas flow at the end of the gas tube. A narrow diameter collector is closely spaced to the end of the gas tube. The direction of feeding the air and the diffuser plate (which acts as a baffle) provide laminar flow and eliminate the flicker noise which would otherwise occur due to the air flow inlet being located very close to the gas tube end. The FID is vertically compact and operates at a high electric field strength, exceeding 90 V/mm. The FID has a low fuel flow, typically 12-15 ml/min and therefore a low oxidant flow rate, typically 120-150 ml/min, advantageous to the operation of a portable gas chromatograph. The compactness of the FID also requires less electrical power to heat the detector to operating temperature, thus prolonging battery life.

Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring system for maintaining liquid levels in a system, for example lubricant levels desirable for operation of apparatus for instance compressor means (2) of a refrigeration circuit. The system can therefore detect an unacceptably low level in a chamber supplying oil to a compressor (2), in the casing of which is provided a transparent sight glass (18). A source of, say, infra-red light (20) projects a beam (22) into the glass panel (18) where it is incident on the rear surface (24) of the glass at a trigger level (26), i.e. a level at which a valve (16) operates to allow additional oil to be supplied to the chamber within the casing. An arrangement of two light source-detector devices can be set up to monitor an upper and lower oil level between which is a "dead" range intended to avoid valve solenoid "flutter".

Abstract: Pullulan is precipitated from an aqueous solution by mixing with a hydrophilic organic solvent incapable of dissolving pullulan. Solid pullulan is then separated from the liquid component of the dispersion by feeding the dispersion into a V-type disk press having a pair of discoid screens arranged so that the distance between them decreases as they are rotated. The pullulan dispersion is pressed by the discoid screens, recovering the liquid component through the screens. The resulting low-liquid-content pullulan continues to rotate together with the screens to an outlet, where it is discharged from the press.

Abstract: Motion estimation using limited-time early exit with prequalification matrices and a predicted search center reduces computational time for a video compression encoder. The partial absolute error obtained for a given location within a search area is compared periodically with a prior absolute error obtained for a prior position within the search area to determine whether the partial absolute error is greater than such prior absolute error. If the partial absolute error is greater, then the processing for that position may be terminated and the search moved to the next location within the search area. Using the triangle inequality a series of prequalification matrices  (22, 24)  are generated for the reference image  (12)  and for the current  (14)  image being searched. Comparing the prequalification matrices using early exit further reduces the computational time. Also by using a motion vector for a neighboring block of pixels to determine a predicted center point within the search area, one of the first few locations within the search area generally produces the best difference, so that all subsequent locations result in early exit, reducing computational time even further. Finally to assure that the motion vectors for a frame are determined within realtime constraints, the amount of time required to process a block as measured in terms of a number of AbsSum8 operations is used to terminate the processing of a block if the processing has not yet produced a final absolute error minimum. For those blocks which complete early, the saved "time" is averaged over the remaining blocks. Therefore the use of these four techniques -- Early Exit, Prequalification Matrices, Limited-Time and Predicted Search Center -- together produces an improvement of up to 13 to 1 over conventional Exhaustive or Hierarchical Search techniques.
