Abstract: A belt drive module and a corresponding method includes or employs
a belt (10) that moves along a path, at least one support roller (12) or other structure that
supports the belt as it moves along the path, a drive roller (11) that effects
movement of the belt along the path, a tension roller (74) that applies a tension
force to the belt in order to maintain engagement of the belt with the drive
and/or support rollers, at least one processing station (e.g., an image
processing station) disposed along the path that performs a process relative to
a predetermined position of the belt, and a torque assist drive that applies a
torque assist force (T d ) at a location between the drive roller and the tension
roller. Torque assist may be provided by a current limited DC motor or by a
constant torque friction clutch applied to a roller (66), e.g., a stripper roller of an
electrophotographic imaging system. Advantageously, the torque assist force
(T d ) facilitates accurate positioning of the belt (e.g., latent image registrations in
a color imaging process employing multiple imaging processing stations) by
reducing slippage between the drive roller and the belt that may be
encountered due to belt wear, toner contamination and/or other debris.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to improve a cooling
efficiency for cooling an engine generator by dividing a
cooling air passage into two routes. The engine generator
includes an engine (2), a generator (3), a muffler (4) and a cooling
fan (5), which are all enclosed in a housing. A first cooling air
passage 36 is formed adjacent to a cylinder (2a) of the engine (2).
A second cooling air passage (37) is formed beneath the
engine (2), extending from the lower side of the cooling fan (5),
passing through an area below the engine (2) and arriving at
the muffler (4). The second cooling air passage (37) is formed
between an oil pan (7) and a vibration isolation support base plate
(6), with the oil pan (7) facing the second cooling air passage (37).
In this way, an air supplied from the cooling fan (5) is divided into
two routes, with one cooling the cylinder head (2a) of the engine
(2) and the other the lower portion of the engine (2) and the muffler
(4). When the second cooling passage (37) is partially
formed by the vibration isolation support base plate (6), a longer
span can be obtained by the vibration isolation support base plate.
Therefore, a vibration isolation member is provided on each end of
the vibration isolation support base plate for effectively
reducing the engine vibration.

Abstract: A sliding means with built-in moving-magnet linear is disclosed, which makes it possible to sense accurately a table(3) position with a magnetic sensor element(34). To this end, a magnetic flux pattern is rectified outside any one N-pole of forward and aft end poles of a field magnet(13). Position of the table(3) is monitored with a magnetic sensor element arranged on the bed(2) in opposition to the field magnet(13). Arranged outside the end pole of the field magnet(13) is an auxiliary magnet(U1) unlike in polarity and made as small as possible in effect on propulsion exerted on the table(3). The auxiliary magnet(13) is to rectify the magnetic flux pattern outside the end pole of the field magnet(13) to the same distribution pattern as found at a boundary between the adjacent poles opposite in polarity in the field magnet(13), thus making it possible to identify the accurate positions of the forward and aft end pole of the field magnet(13).

Abstract: A network address translation gateway provides normal network translation for IP
datagrams traveling from a local area network using local IP addresses to an external
network, but suspends source service address (port) translation when the port is reserved
for a specific protocol, such as the ISAKMP "handshaking" protocol that is part of the IPSec
protocol model. ISAKMP exchanges require both source and target computers to use the
same service address (port). By providing a network interface that does not translate the
source service address (port), this gateway enables the initiation and maintenance of
secure, encrypted transmissions using IPSec protocol between a local area network using
local IP addresses and servers on the internet.
