Patent EP-1024000-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOSONO SATORU
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a recording head (8)
having a nozzle (51), and a micro-vibrating unit for causing ink in
the nozzle to minutely vibrate. A recording-starting-position (P1)
setting unit sets recording-starting-position information that
represents a position where the nozzle should start to jet the
ink, according to recording data. A micro-vibrating-starting-position
setting unit sets micro-vibrating-starting-position (P2)
information that represents a position where
the micro-vibrating unit should start to cause the ink to minutely
vibrate, according to the recording-starting-position (P1)
information. A scanning-position-information (PS) outputting unit
outputs head-position information that represents a position of
the recording head while the recording head is scanning. A
pre-recording micro-vibrating controlling unit judges a
micro-vibrating-starting timing according to the micro-vibrating-starting-position
information and the head-position
information in order to cause the micro-vibrating unit to operate (S14).
According to the above ink-jet recording apparatus, a meniscus (52)
of the ink in the nozzle may be caused to minutely vibrate for
a predetermined time from a suitable timing (micro-vibrating-starting
timing) just before an ink drop is jetted from
the nozzle. Thus, the viscosity of the ink in the nozzle may be
returned at a normal level just before the ink drop is jetted.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: A data construction for storing data efficiently and a method for forming and
using the data construction is disclosed. The method comprises representing a set of
actual data values from an original source of data with an alternative representation. One
or more parameters of a formula are determined to approximate the set of actual data
values in the original source of data. For each actual data value in the original source of
data, the difference between the actual data value and the value predicted therefor by the
formula is determined. The difference for each actual data value is stored in a data
construction on the medium along with the one or more parameters. The alternative
representation preserves the information content of the actual data values from the
original source of data while reducing the storage requirements for storing the
information on a medium.

Abstract: A board mountable power supply module is described. The power
supply module (10) includes a power train (14) for converting an input voltage into a
regulated output voltage and a controller (12) operable to control the power train. The
power train is connected to the input and output voltages through an input voltage pin
(V in ), an output voltage pin (V out ) and a common pin (V ground ). The controller includes a
multifunction control pin (CNT12), which allows for disabling the power supply
module and for trimming the output voltage. Additionally, two or more power supply
modules can be connected in parallel to form a power supply that is capable of meeting
increased load current requirements. Each of the multifunction control pins in the
power supply is electrically connected together to improve current sharing between
modules by reducing internal variances between modules.

the relative angle between the object and a portion of the
robot device and the object.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for sending keep-alive
messages in a communication network involves
determining a reliability factor for communicating with
a neighbor and setting the frequency for sending keep-alive
messages to the neighbor based upon the
reliability factor. The reliability factor is
determined based upon the reliability of the neighbor
as well as the reliability of the communication link to
the neighbor. The frequency for sending keep-alive
messages to the neighbor is relatively high if the
reliability factor is low. The frequency for sending
keep-alive messages to the neighbor is relatively low
if the reliability factor is high. The frequency for
sending keep-alive messages to the neighbor is
dynamically adjusted based upon an updated reliability
factor.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un support sans contact destiné à des pièces à usiner sensiblement planaires, et pouvant notamment assurer le support de fines pièces à usiner sans distortion importante. La présente invention comprend un mandrin cylindrique pourvu d'un orifice d'entrée de gaz situé à un emplacement oblique par rapport à un axe central. L'introduction de gaz sous pression entraîne la formation d'un vortex produisant une aspiration de façon à retenir une plaquette au voisinage immédiat du mandrin, le gaz sortant dudit mandrin empêchant tout contact entre la plaquette et le mandrin. Des mandrins de petit diamètre situés à proximité les uns des autres contribuent à éviter une distortion lors du traitement de pièces à usiner très fines. Le gaz provenant du mandrin de la présente invention sort de préférence dans une direction angulaire donnée. Les mandrins sont disposés sur le support de plaquette de manière que le gaz sortant se dirige de préférence radialement vers la périphérie du support, entre des mandrins adjacents et non pas directement au niveau d'un autre mandrin voisin. Les mandrins situés sur la périphérie du support sont placés de façon que le gaz sortant se dirige vers la périphérie du support et se superpose au flux de gaz en provenance des mandrins immédiatement adjacents. Les mandrins de la périphérie dudit support sont situés le plus proche possible les uns des autres. Le fait d'allier flux de gaz en superposition et proximité étroite permet de former une protection gazeuse à la frontière de ce support de plaquettes.

IPC: H04K1/00
Filed: 2000-12-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securely transmitting data by hiding in point-to-point and point-to-multi-point digital transmission systems. The data stream (DS) on the transmitter side is supplied to a modulation unit (MOD). The modulation and coding parameters (MP) of the modulation process (MV) and of said modulation unit (MOD) can be changed in time. The modulation parameters (MP) are transmitted to a demodulator (DEM) by means of a secure channel (SK). The electric transmission signal (ES) is situated at the output of the modulation unit (MOD). Said signal is transmitted by means of a channel (K). The demodulator (DEM) that knows the hiding sequence regenerates the original signal and supplies the receiving data stream (DE) at the output.

Abstract: A multi-resolution label locator system divides an input image into a plurality of multi-pixel cells. The multi-resolution label locator system then creates a decimated image or low resolution image corresponding to the input image. The decimated image includes a common-characteristic value that corresponds to a multi-pixel cell of the input image. The multi-resolution label locator system identifies one or more areas within the decimated image that have characteristics corresponding to the characteristics of interest. While generating the decimated image, the multi-resolution label locator system simultaneously creates an edge-occurrence image that corresponds to the input image. The edge-occurrence image includes an edge value that corresponds to each cell of the input image. Each edge value represents the number of occurrences of an edge within the pixels of a corresponding cell of the input image. The multi-resolution label locator system identifies one or more candidate areas within the input image that have decimated-image characteristics and edge-occurrence image characteristics corresponding to the characteristics of interest. The multi-resolution label locator system then classifies the candidate areas according to the likelihood of the input image containing indicia having the characteristics of interest. Lastly, the multi-resolution label locator system compiles a list of one or more candidate areas that most likely contain indicia having the characteristics of interest.

Abstract: Pyropheophorbides compounds are injected into a host
and accumulate in tumor tissue to a higher degree than
surrounding normal tissues. When the pyropheophorbide
compounds are exposed to a particular wavelenght of light
the compounds become cytotoxic and destroy the tumor or
diseased tissue without causing irreversible normal
tissues damage. The phyropheophorbide compounds have
shown improved results as compared to drugs currently
used in photodynamic therapy. Further, they absorb light
further in the red, optimizing tissue penetration and are
retained in the skin for short time periods relative to
other drugs used in photodynamic therapy.
