Abstract: When any one of keys other than a start key (101)
on an operation panel (114) is depressed after a
printing operation according to a background job starts
in a ready state, a system CPU (100) for controlling
all the parts of the machine sets a condition flag
indicative of the start of a front job. By virtue of
the flag, the CPU (100) determines the front job is
being executed, and even if any trouble occurs in the
background job, the CPU instructs a message indicator
(93) to display the trouble occurrence message for only
a predetermined short period of time, and then lets the
front job operation continue. The CPU controls the
message indicator (93) to display the message of the
occurrence of the trouble in the background job again
when the front job operation has finished.

Abstract: A bootstrap circuit suitable for use in driving the word line of a FRAM® memory circuit is energized by a VDD power supply voltage. The bootstrap circuit includes a first N-channel MOS transistor wherein the source/drain forms the input of the circuit. A second N-channel MOS transistor is included wherein one of the source/drains receives a clock signal, and the other source/drain forms the output, which drives the word line. The gate of the second transistor is coupled to the other source/drain of the first transistor. The bootstrap circuit includes further circuitry for generating a voltage greater than the VDD power supply voltage that is coupled to the gate of the first transistor. A capacitor or capacitor-connected transistor is coupled between the input and the gate of the first transistor, and a third transistor has one source/drain coupled to the gate of the first transistor, and the other source/drain receives a control signal, and the gate is coupled to the VDD power supply. The bootstrap circuit is operational even for VDD power supply voltages less than or equal to 3.3 volts.

Abstract: A swath printing system (210) such as multi-colour inkjet
printing which uses lower resolution printheads (120-126) of
at least 300 dpi nozzle spacing to achieve high resolution
output of at least 600 dpi addressability in both the X (media
advance) and Y (carriage scan) axes. Synchronized depletion
masks for area fills and edge enhancement is provided which is
plot independent and prevents drop overlap. It is especially
suited for multi-pass print modes since each row has a
balanced number of pixels, and there are no rows which have no
"on" pixels. The depletion includes separate depletion masks
and rules for edge enhancement as compared to area fills.
Each colour plane is depleted separately, but subject to the
same depletion rules and masks. A separate depletion step
provides for narrowing the vertical and horizontal dimensions
of the figure to be printed.

Abstract: the circuit has a rectifier element for rectifying an a.c. voltage to produce the d.c. voltage at its output. The a.c. voltage is first superimposed onto a d.c. voltage and fed to a circuit with two parallel branches (Z1,Z2) carrying approximately equal currents and contg. rectifier elements (D1,D2) with identical electrical properties. In one branch (Z2) only the d.c. voltage is passed. The other (Z1) passes the d.c. and a.c. voltages. Both branches are connected to a differencing device (DB) which forms the difference between the two voltages separately fed to the branches to produce an output d.c. voltage (A) proportional to the amplitude of the a.c. voltage.

Abstract: A method for forming a plurality of electrically
conductive wires on a substrate. The method includes
forming a relatively non-planar metal layer over a
surface of the substrate. A self-planarizing material is
deposited over the metal layer. The self-planarizing
material forms a planarization layer over the surface of
the metal layer. The planarization layer has a surface
relatively planar compared to the relatively non-planar
metal layer. A photoresist layer is deposited over the
surface of the planarization layer. The photoresist
layer is patterned with a plurality of grooves to form a
mask with such grooves exposing underling portions of the
planarization layer. The photoresist mask is used as a
mask to etch grooves in the exposed portions of the
planarization layer and thereby form a second mask. The
second mask exposes underling portions of the relatively
non-planar metal layer. The second mask is used to etch
grooves in the relatively non-planar conductive metal
layer and thereby form the plurality of electrically
conductive wires in the metal layer. The wires are
separated from each other by the grooves formed in the
relatively non-planar metal layer. The planarization
layer is formed by a spinning-on an organic polymer, for
example an organic polymer having silicon, or a flowable
oxide, or a hydrogensilsequioxane, or divinyl-siloxane-benzocyclobutene.
The metal layer is etched using
reactive ion etching. The planarization layer is removed
using a wet chemical etch.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which can shorten a first
printing time in accordance with a recording mode without
increasing electric power consumption is provided. When a
reception signal is absent, if a copy key has been
depressed, the image forming apparatus is switched to a copy
mode, and temperature control is started by supplying a
heater of a thermal fixing device with electric power. When
the user operates a start key to start copying after setting
an original and copying conditions, it is determined if the
heater has reached a fixable temperature. If the result of
the determination is affirmative, a copying operation is
completed by performing image formation and fixing on a
recording sheet. When a reception signal is present, image
data is received, and after storing the image data in an
image memory, temperature rise control of the heater is
started.
