Title: Method and apparatus for diode-laser imaging with compensation for output variations
Inventor: MUELLER WAYNE
IPC: B41C1/05
Filed: 1999-01-08
Granted: 2000-11-09
Abstract: Compensation for the effects of duty cycle on the output level of an imaging device, and for the effects of periodically varying distance between the output of the imaging device and its target, is accomplished electronically. An exemplary apparatus includes a source of radiation (generally a laser) having an output level that varies both with an input power level and, undesirably, with the duty cycle. The apparatus also includes means for focusing the radiation onto a recording surface, and a power supply for driving the radiation source. In the case of a diode laser, the power supply delivers a variable current, the magnitude of which determines the power output of the laser. The radiation source is operated to produce, on the recording surface, an imagewise pattern of spots, and an adjustment facility alters the output of the power supply to compensate for output-level variations resulting from duty cycle-that is, from the recent pattern of laser activity. In a first embodiment, the invention includes an up-down counter that receives, as input, the same binary image data in serial form that is used to determine the state of the radiation source as it scans over a recording medium (causing actuation of the source only when adjacent to a location on the recording medium that is to be written). The counter increments during clock cycles when the radiation source is active, and decrements during inactive cycles. As a result, the state of the counter generally reflects the recent pattern of radiation-source activity, and its contents are used to address a list of correction values. In a second embodiment, serial image data is applied to a shift register rather than a counter. This provides a more precise record of the pattern of recent activity, and the instantaneous contents of the register are once again used to address a list of correction values. To compensate for the effects eccentric rotation on the output level of an imaging device, a function that inverts or at least counteracts the resulting power variations is applied to the power supply operating the radiation source. <IMAGE>

Title: Hinged snap closure made of plastics material
Inventor: DUBACH WERNER FRITZ
IPC: B66B11/02
Filed: 1992-01-31
Granted: 1995-02-09
Abstract: The invention concerns a plastics closure comprising a lower part (1) and an upper part (2) connected to each other by a main hinge (3). Located on the closure are tensioning elements (8) whose length varies under the action of a tensile force, thus producing the required snap effect. The tensioning elements (8) are disposed in planes extending between their attachment points (4, 5). Each tensioning element is made up of several sections (10) which produce the change in length. These sections can be C, U or O-shaped. The tensioning elements (8) permit a maximum change in length of about 10-50 %.

Granted: 1986-10-30
Abstract: A process for the production of a diagnostic device which is envisaged, in particular, for the detection of a pathologically increased concentration of dehydrogenases in fluids of humans, animals or plants and consists of a carrier and a substance mixture, in which, in each case with exclusion of UV radiation, the substance mixture, which has been adjusted to a pH value in the acid range, is brought into contact, in liquid form, with the carrier and the combination of carrier and substance mixture is subsequently dried and then enclosed in a packaging casing which is opaque to light of higher energy than red light. The process has the peculiarity that the dried combination of carrier and substance mixture in the packaging casing is securely sealed against entry of air and moisture. The device thus produced can be stored for a long time before use, without its ability to function being substantially changed.

Title: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based spread spectrum multiple access system using directional antenna
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04W16/30
Filed: 2000-03-03
Granted: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A base station within a cell of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based spread spectrum multiple access system employs sectorization as a way to reduce the intercell interference. The cell is sectorized from a transmission point of view by the directionality of the downlink antenna, and the OFDM tone set employed in each cell is correspondingly sectorized, i.e., each sector in the cell is allocated a set of tones within a sub-band of the available frequency bandwidth for use when transmitting into that sector. The sub-bands assigned to each sector are periodically changed, or "hopped", among the available sub-bands within the totally available bandwidth. Such sub-band hopping is a so-called "slow" hopping, in that it is not performed on a symbol-by-symbol basis but instead occurs only after more than one symbol has been transmitted in a sector on tones within the sub-band. Each sector employs its own pilot signal, which is assigned one or more tones within the sub-band currently employed by that sector. Similarly, for the uplink, the base station may employ a directional receiver antenna. Preferably, the mobile terminal only transmits on a tone that is within a sub-band that is allocated to the sector in which the mobile terminal is located. This, sub-band, however, need not correspond to the same location within the bandwidth as the sub-band used by the downlink to communicate with the mobile terminal. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2001-01-18
Abstract: A phosphate glass doped with copper in an amount of less than 2% by weight is formed to produce a lens for use on external aircraft lights. The glass attenuates infra red radiation to a degree where it does not pose a danger of temporarily blinding a pilot wearing night vision goggles yet remains visible. The glass has little appreciable effect on light transmission in the visible spectrum. Conveniently, the glass can be formed by slumping at a softening temperature against a mold to produce intricate lens shapes. In addition, the glass is able to withstand conventional toughening processes.

Title: Multiple data path cpu architecture
Inventor: HORST ROBERT WHITING
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1984-09-27
Granted: 1988-07-07
Abstract: The various functional units which comprise a central pro- cessing unit of a computer are organized so as to enable a main arithmetic logic unit and special function units including an auxilliary arithmetic logic unit to access data registers, literal constants, and data from a memory cache. A general purpose bus closely couples the functional units to the main data paths and allows the CPU sequencer to branch on numerous conditions which may be indicated via test lines. Parity from the functional units is sent a clock cycle later than results in order that the parity path does not affect machine cycle time. The architecture allows unused microcode options to be used to check for correct CPU operation by halting CPU operation on a miscompare of two buses.

Title: Calibration method for transmission control clutches
Inventor: FLACK PETER LESLIE
IPC: F16H61/06
Filed: 1993-06-07
Granted: 1995-01-27
Abstract: The hydraulically operated brake and clutch elements (controlled by proportional control valves) of a vehicle powershift transmission have fill pressures which are calibrated by a method wherein the output shaft of the transmission is disconnected from the vehicle drive shaft so that the transmission output shaft is free to rotate and certain ones of the plurality of the control elements other than the control element being calibrated are fully pressurized in order to prevent rotation of a part of the control element being calibrated. The engine is run at a predetermined speed and the pressure applied to the control element being calibrated is gradually increased while engine speed is monitored. When the monitored engine speed changes by predetermined amount, a value is saved corresponding to the calibration pressure. The transmission is automatically shifted to neutral if vehicle motion is sensed. The volume of hydraulic fluid required to initially engage the control element may be calibrated in a similar manner.
