Abstract: A sheet carrying apparatus reduces skew of a sheet during carriage, and realizes high-quality print. A position detecting sensor detects a position in a direction perpendicular to a sheet carrying direction of the sheet carried by a sheet carrying roller. A skew angle of the sheet is calculated depending upon a deviation of the detected position from a predetermined reference position. Load rollers are on the right and left sides with respect to a sheet center line in the sheet carrying direction, and are respectively opposed to following rollers through the sheet so as to bring the sheet into pressure contact. A torque limiter to apply a braking force to the load roller, and the load roller are coupled or released by electromagnetic clutches. Thereby, the carrying forces can independently be controlled on the right and left sides of the sheet depending upon the skew angle.

Abstract: The instrument (e.g. probe) (14) protrudes from a handgrip (10) at whose proximal end (16) the electric cable (18) is secured in a fork comprising two tines (20, 22) with their broad faces (24, 26) parallel to each other. The slot (28) between the tines is occupied by a section of the cable surrounded by a conventional sleeve (30). If the user exerts more force on the handgrip, the ball of the thumb presses firmly on the end so that the cable undergoes only slight lateral bending and is not stressed to breaking point.

Abstract: The protection system uses a decoy charge of a combustible material, which is launched from the ship, with simultaneous combustion and deployment of the decoy material to provide a decoy target cloud with a higher IR intensity than the ship. This is detected by the missile target seeking head so that the missile is steered off course. The decoy charge includes an electromagnetic radiation device which is activated upon the charge being fired, for reliable diversion of the missile seeking head onto the false target. The device may be provided by a pyrotechnic charge, a light, or a gas generator.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for driving and controlling a thermal head used in a printing device, such as a tape printer, in response to the temperature variations of the environment and the thermal head. In the printing operation of the printing device, measurements are made of the initial temperature T₁ immediately after the power is switched on, the temperature T₂ prior to printing, and the ambient temperature T 3(i)  of the thermal head each time the thermal head prints. If the temperature difference between the temperature T₁ and the temperature T₂ is small, the duration of the current signals provided to the thermal head is controlled in accordance with the temperature T₂. If the difference is large, the duration is controlled in accordance with the temperature T₁. If the rate of the increase in temperature T 3(i)  during printing is large, the duration is controlled in accordance with the initial temperature T₂ to reduce the duration. If the temperature T 3(i)  exceeds a temperature which indicates over-heating, the printing operation is aborted. Thus, the present invention allows for controlling the thermal head drive by means of the ambient temperature which is not affected by the heat generation of the thermal head and in accordance with the thermal state of the thermal head.

Abstract: A device and method for selecting or detecting copy sheet size, resizing a copy and other operations using an image input scanner (114; Fig.1) and/or an edit pad. The various copy sheet selections and detections made may be used to select sheets (125; Fig.1) from various copy sheet trays in a printing machine (Fig.6). In the case of non-standard sheet sizes, the copy sheet path, sheet gripper timing, image transfer and other aspects of copy sheet handling and printing may be automatically modified according to the copy sheet size detection system of the present invention. Copy sheet path sensors and processors controlling them in a printer can be automatically reprogrammed so as to prevent misfeeds or misfeed indications resulting from varied copy sheet sizes being used in the printing machine. The edit pad may detect a two dimensional rectangular area (Fig.4) of a copy sheet according to designation of a single input point on an edit pad. A processor (102; Fig.1) determines a rectangle size according to a predetermined base point at the intersection of the x-y axis, an individual x point on the x axis, the input point and an individual y point on the y axis. An image input scanner (114; Fig.1) may also be used alone or in combination with an edit pad for detecting a length and width of a copy sheet. The width of the sheet may be detected by fast scan direction sensing at a normal or reduced resolution. The length of the sheet may be detected by normal or reduced resolution slow scan direction sensing, or by multiplying the duration between the passing of the lead and trail edge of the sheet moving past the image input scanner (not moving in a process direction) times a predetermined constant velocity of the sheet.

Abstract: Moire interference detection apparatus (100;110) for a raster-scanned cathode ray tube display comprises a band-pass filter (360;750) for generating an output signal (395;790) in response to a signal indicative of the pixel frequency of a displayed image in a direction of raster scan falling within the pass band of the filter. Control means (350;270) varies the centre frequency of the pass band of the filter in dependence on an active video period of the image in said direction of raster scan, the spacing of adjacent phosphor elements of the cathode ray display tube (210) of the display in said direction of raster scan, and the scan size in said direction of raster scan.

Abstract: One or more sets of prototype descriptions for a number of classes of objects stored on a computer database are maintained. These prototypes are used as a basis for identifying the class of a presented object. A trainer determines when a new prototype is required to be added to the database based on current match results. This allows the system to be trained to recognize items in classes that deviate significantly from the items that were initially used to determine the classification rules. A determination is made about which prototypes can be deleted on the basis of their match histories. This allows the system to automatically optimize itself to work with a bounded collection of prototypes. In addition, it allows the system to track variations in class characteristics over time and adjust the corresponding set of prototypes appropriately.

Abstract: The method involves transmitting the useful signal together with or separately from the encoded additional information signals. The information selected from the additional signals can be directly or indirectly combined with the timing information, and compared with a defined time interval in which the current time and/or a current transmission fall. The information associated with the time interval can be automatically displayed on a receiver equipment display device by a single or a multiple operation of a call-up key on the receiver equipment, or on its remote controller.
