Abstract: A camera having a body, a push-pull, a sliding member, a shutter
release, and a timer. The push-pull is movable between primary and secondary
positions. The sliding member has a shutter button arm, a shutter actuation arm,
and a timer release arm. The sliding member is moveable from a first to a second
position by depression of the shutter button arm. The sliding member is limited to
movement from the first position to an offset position when the push-pull is
moved from the primary to the secondary position. The sliding member in the
offset position is substantially blocked from moving toward the second position.
The shutter release is movable from an initial position to a stopped position and to
a released position. The shutter release is detained in the initial position by the
shutter actuation arm when the sliding member is in one of the first and offset
positions. The shutter release is released from the shutter actuation arm when the
sliding member is in the second position. The shutter release is biased toward the
released position. The timer includes: a delay counter and a linkage coupled to
the delay counter for movement, from a start configuration to an end
configuration. The linkage has a stop that is disposed to arrest the shutter release
and gear train when the linkage is in the start configuration and the shutter release
is in the stopped position. The stop is free of the shutter release when the shutter
release is in one of the initial and released positions. The timer release arm
deactuates the timer when the sliding member is in the first position and actuates
the timer when the sliding member is in one of the offset and second positions.

Abstract: An engine operated generator is arranged to
constantly respond to a change in the load with a margin of
power. The output current of the generator (1) driven by an
engine (2) is rectified by a converter (3) composed of a
thyristor bridge structure. A direct current released
from the converter (3) is converted by an inverter (4) to an
alternate current at a commercial frequency and connected
to a load (5). A thyristor driver circuit (9) controls the
conduction of thyristors so that the voltage at the input of
the inverter (4) is constant. A fuel flow controller (10)
detects the conduction angle of the thyristors and the
revolution of the engine (2) is controlled so that the
conduction angle is converged on a target conduction angle.
Since the target conduction angle is set within a
predetermined range smaller than the maximum conduction
angle, the generator is maintained with margins of its
output and can thus provide a stable level of voltage and
respond quickly to a change in the load.

temperature range. To this end, the gain control unit according to the present
invention comprises an optical transmission line formed with a plurality of long
period fiber gratings (LPG) having such constitutions that loss wavelength
characteristics thereof are mutually different and the respective loss wavelength
characteristics have mutually different temperature dependencies, and the
characteristics of the LPG's are set corresponding to the gain wavelength
characteristic of the optical amplifier and a temperature dependency of the gain
wavelength characteristic of the optical amplifier, respectively. In this way, there
can be automatically performed a gain compensation corresponding to a

Abstract: Apparatus and method define colorimetrically equivalent
printmasks (228), and from among those select masks
(225) for use. Ordinarily, nonvolatile memory holds operating
instructions (Fig. 19). A print stage (16, 18, 24,
51-55, 62-64) applies selected masks to control marking on
a print medium (61). Typically this stage has a case; a
reciprocating pen carriage (17); an advance mechanism (62-64)
for orthogonal relative motion of medium and carriage;
and one or more pens (18) on the carriage making multiple
passes across each pixel, to eject ink (54) and so form
the marks (Figs. 1, 3, 4). One or more digital processors
(72, 272, 372, 472) coordinate operation. Preferably an
image-processing stage (73, 273, 373, 473) assigns inking
spatially among pixels; each mask (228 etc.) assigns the
spatially assigned inking among print passes. Preferably,
selected masks (87, 225 etc.) are used, for successive
pixels, in randomized sequence (Fig. 6, lower sequence;
Fig. 11, lower two). Preferably each mask covers a small
fraction of the image, preferably well under six millimeters
(one-quarter inch) in both width and height. Preferably
the image is defined as an array of input colorimetric
levels (Levels 0-3, Figs. 5, 7; Levels 0-4, Fig. 11);
each level may be selectably mapped (330) to any one of
colorimetrically equivalent masks (328). Preferably colorimetrically
equivalent levels (308; Levels 2A, 2B in
Fig. 6; Levels 2-6, Fig. 11) are defined, and then assigned
(through a substantially randomized procedure) independently
to particular masks. Preferably the image is
prepared using a pixel grid (71) coarser than the available
printer resolution, and the plural colorimetrically 
equivalent masks constructed by varying allocation (222,
226; 302, 316) of printer passes in the coarser grid.
