Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit, a determining unit, a converting unit, a recording unit, and a control unit. The reading unit moves sensors corresponding to a predetermined number of pixels aligned along a sub-scanning direction in a main scanning direction to read an image having a predetermined width of an original. The determining unit determines an area designated by a marker in the original in accordance with pixel data of a pixel read by the reading unit and pixel data of pixels surrounding the pixel. The converting unit converts the pixel data of the pixel read by the reading unit in accordance with a determination result from the determining unit. The recording unit drives recording elements corresponding to the predetermined number of pixels aligned along the sub-scanning direction in accordance with pixel data from the converting unit and moving the recording elements in the main scanning direction to record the image having the predetermined width on a sheet. The control unit moves the reading unit in the sub-scanning direction by a distance corresponding to pixels less than the predetermined number of pixels to perform a next main scanning operation after the reading unit completes a main scanning operation.

Abstract: Under a partial load, a pumping loss is reduced by a stratified combustion to enhance a fuel consumption, and during the maximum output operation, the output is increased by a premixture combustion, and the output of an engine is controlled, thereby enhancing the drivability. Under the partial load, an ignition source is provided in the vicinity of a fuel injection valve, and after the fuel is injected, the mixture is ignited, and a resulting flame is caused by a spray of the fuel to spread into a cylinder, thereby effecting a stratified combustion. When the load increases, so that soot and so on are produced in the stratified combustion, the fuel injection is effected a plurality of times in a divided manner, and a premixture is produced within the cylinder by the front-half injection, and a flame, produced by the latter-half injection, is injected into the cylinder to burn this premixture.

Abstract: An method and apparatus for determining a degree of occlusion in the tubing loop disposed in the raceway of a peristaltic pump. An electrical circuit is formed in tubing loop by filling the loop with an electrically conductive fluid, such as blood, and electrically connecting the inlet portion to the outlet portion of the tubing loop. An excitation coil, which encircles a portion of the tubing loop, induces an alternating current in the tubing fluid. A sensing coil, also encircling a portion of the tubing loop, senses the induced current. The degree if occlusion in the tubing loop is correlated to the magnitude of the sensed current. The degree of occlusion may be adjusted, in response to the determined occlusion, while the pump is in operation using an occlusion adjuster.

IPC: G09G5/39
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: A microprocessor executes at 100 native MIPS peak performance with a 100-MHz internal clock frequency. Central processing unit (CPU) instruction sets are hardwired, allowing most instructions to execute in a single cycle. A "flow-through" design allows the next instruction to start before the prior instruction completes, thus increasing performance. A microprocessing unit (MPU) contains 52 general-purpose registers, including 16 global data registers, an index register, a count register, a 16-deep addressable register/return stack, and an 18-deep operand stack. Both stacks contain an index register in the top elements, are cached on chip, and when required, automatically spill to and refill from external memory. The stacks minimize the data movement and also minimize memory access during procedure calls, parameter passing, and variable assignments. Additionally, the MPU contains a mode/status register and 41 locally addressed registers for I/O, control, configuration, and status. The CPU contains both a high-performance, zero-operand, dual-stack architecture MPU, and an input-output processor (IOP) that executes instructions to transfer data, count events, measure time, and perform other timing-dependent functions. A zero-operand stack architecture eliminates operand bits. Stacks also minimize register saves and loads within and across procedures, thus allowing shorter instruction sequences and faster-running code. Instructions are simple to decode and execute, allowing the MPU and IOP to issue and complete instructions in a single clock cycle-each at 100 native MIPS peak execution. Using 8-bit opcodes, the CPU obtains up to four instructions from memory each time an instruction fetch or pre-fetch is performed. These instructions can be repeated without rereading them from memory. This maintains high performance when connected directly to DRAM, without a cache.

Abstract: More than one, and preferably two opposed inkjet print heads direct ink droplets to opposite sides of a cylindrical elongated plastic straw containing biological products such as semen or ova. The print heads are controlled by a computer to print multiple lines of text or data as the straw is advanced by a conveyor such as dual paralled drive belts through a bridge which has a straw-directing infeed channel. The straw is discharged from the channel through an unobstructed window in the bridge which is positioned in the path of the two print heads. Downstream of the window the straw passes over portions of the bridge which form a shelf with open sides, on which the straw is supported until it is engaged by the outfeed portions of the conveyor which remove the printed straw from the bridge. The construction of the bridge ensures accurate positioning of the straw, while minimizing disturbances to the freshly applied ink.
