Patent EP-0886208-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: A print data processing pipeline (15) for use in a color
electrophotographic printer (16) optimizes print quality and minimizes memory
usage by separately processing lossy and lossless print data. Lossy print data
may include print data for images and lossless print data may include print data
for text, line art, and graphics. Partitioning print data into lossy and lossless
components allows application of the print data compression operations
optimized for each type of print data. High compression ratios can be achieved
on lossy print data by applying visually lossless compression operations designed
for the lossy print data. In addition, high compression ratios can be achieved on
the lossless print data by applying lossless compression operations designed for
the lossless print data. A merge unit (128) combines the lossy and lossless print
data streams after decompression to reconstruct the original image. Placement
of the color space conversion operation (12) and the halftone operation (14)
relative to the merge operation (13), further optimizes the print quality while
minimizing memory usage. The print data processing pipeline includes a direct
memory access controller (122) which has the capability to allow print data to
be selectively directed to the lossy (126) or lossless (127)
compressor/decompressor, the color space converter (125), or the merge unit
(128). Feedback paths within the print data processing pipeline (15) allow the
results of the various operations performed to be returned to the direct memory
access controller (122) for further processing or storage in system memory (2,
6). Bypass paths in the color space converter (125) and halftone unit (130)
allow print data to be selectively directed around these operations. These
capabilities allow configuration of the print data processing pipeline (15) to
perform a multitude of permutations of print data processing operations optimized
for the print data.

IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 1994-01-27
Abstract: An ink jet apparatus has a piezoelectric ceramic
arrangement including a plurality of grooves filled with
ink. The grooves are separated from one another by side
walls, and the inside of the grooves are partially furnished
with electrodes. The electrodes receive a driving
voltage to selectively vary the inner volumes of the
grooves based on the piezoelectric thickness slip effect.
The selectively varied inner volumes of the grooves cause
the ink to jet out therefrom. In this structure, the
height of the side walls divided by the width thereof is
at least 2 and at most 9. Using a low driving voltage,
the apparatus boosts the ink pressure within the ink
chambers so as to keep the velocity of jetted ink droplets
sufficiently high and the volume thereof sufficiently
large to form characters and images onto a printing
medium.

Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch has an electromagnetic coil
(5) and a coil housing (4) for accommodating the coil (5). The
coil (5) is inserted into the coil housing (4) together with
insulating members (14) made of readily deformable insulating
material. The insulating members (14) are pressed downwardly
by the coil (5) and deformed according to an inner shape of the
coil housing (4). As a result, the coil (5) and the insulating
members (14) are accommodated in the coil housing (4) with a
preset gap (A) between a surface of the coil (5) and an inside
surface of the coil housing (4), formed by the insulating
members (14). The gap (A) is filled with melted resin (6) so
that the coil (5) is firmly secured in the coil housing (4).
Thus, the coil (5) can be readily secured in and insulated from
the coil housing (4) at a low cost.

Abstract: An electrodeless high intensity discharge lamp with a lamp fill material including
gallium iodide has been found to be more efficient in generating light in general, and more
efficient in generating blue light. The very small size of the lamp, in combination with the
high intensity in a relatively narrow blue spectral range make the lamp particularly useful
in supplying blue light to a fiber optic. The relative efficiency of the lamp increases its
value. In combination, the lamp provides a useful, efficient source of blue light as an input
source for optical fiber, and other systems for medical and other processes using blue light
as a process element.

Abstract: A salt grid ( 38 ) for supporting salt ( 40 ) above a portion of a concentrated brine

comprises first and second platforms ( 42, 44 ) disposed at first and second elevational
levels with respect to the vertical walls ( 32 ) of the brine tank ( 24 ). The fluid level in
the brine tank ( 24 ) can be adjusted to be higher than the lower platform ( 42 ) of the salt
grid ( 38 ) but lower than the upper platform ( 44 ) of the salt grid ( 38 ). In this manner,
salt ( 40 ) dissolves only above the lower platform ( 42 ) part of the grid ( 38 ) and
consequently, the dirt ( 39 ) included in the salt ( 40 ) only passes through the lower

Abstract: A motor includes a rotor with interior permanent magnets and a stator
with teeth wound by concentrated windings. The permanent magnet is split
along a plane oriented to the stator, and an electrically insulating section is set

to be electrically split thereby restraining the production of eddy current. As a
result, heat-production is damped thereby preventing heat demagnetization of
the permanent magnet.
