Abstract: An electronic imaging system and method are provided that include
an image capturing component (5), such as a digital camera (50), an image
rendering component, such as a printer (54), digital projector (100), video screen
(60), and so forth, each of which requires an intelligence circuit (23) for operation,
and an intelligence module (3) detachably connectable to either of the imaging
components for providing the required control circuit. The intelligence module
includes a microprocessor (25) and memory (31), and each of the image capturing
and rendering components of the system includes a memory (33) for storing
operating instructions. The intelligence module downloads the operating
instructions of the particular imaging component it is connected to in order to
operate the same. The use of a single control module to operate a broad spectrum
of digital imaging components advantageously simplifies the circuitry of the
components, reduces manufacturing costs, and enhances reliability by minimizing
processing steps and circuit interfaces.

Abstract: Present invention relates to an image processing
method and apparatus, and image forming apparatus for
inputting multivalued image data having a resolution
e.g., 300 x 300 dpi, converting the resolution of the
data to a higher resolution e.g., 600 x 1200 dpi and

corresponding to image data of a predetermined color is
stored in advance. When color data, image data (code)
and data corresponding to an image forming position are
inputted to the memory as an address, the memory outputs
pattern data stored in the address. By selectively
outputting the pattern data read out of the memory in
accordance with the forming position, color image data

Abstract: A portable radiophone which is adapted to communicate via a cellular network and
at least one cordless network, and which comprises a controller unit which controls
the communication with said cellular network and said at least one cordless network,
and which registers which networks are connected. When a call is to be established,
a storage receives a phone number, and the controller unit checks whether the

Abstract: A hypermedia authoring system (100) enables an author
to generate a document using a goals outline (102) and a
presentation outline (104). The goals outline (102) is
generated by instantiating document prototypes. A display
of the goals outline permits the author to select a
prototype document (302) from a directory of prototype
documents and instantiate the selected prototype document
that corresponds to a node of the goals outline. The
instantiated document prototype is linked to cards in a
card database (106). The presentation outline is displayed
as Bento-boxes. Each Bento-box includes spacer objects
which are defined spatially and temporally. The spacer
objects may be linked to cards. The goals outline (102) is
related to the presentation outline (104) based on commonly
linked cards. The Bento-boxes may be lined to each other
in a stack or hyperlinked to other Bento-boxes via anchors.
A display of all the Bento-boxes of a hypermedia document
shows a linkage path established by the hyperlinks between
Bento-boxes/Bento-box stacks. If both the presentation
outline (104) and the goals outline (102) are displayed,
selecting a Bento-box or a node of the goals outline causes
related notes or Bento-boxes, respectively, to be
highlighted. If a complete goals/presentation outline is
selected, the highlighting shows a measure of completeness
between the presentation outline and the goals outline. A
navigation facility is also provided such as a kitchen, an
office or a studio.

Abstract: A distributed printing system that more optimally distributes job requests
within a distributed printing system based on more detailed information about the
particular attributes of each output device. In particular, additional printer attributes
are used that allow greater utilization of a plurality of attached printers having
differing capabilities. These attributes include "max-concurrent-jobs-processing"
(MCJP), "number-of-jobs-on-device" (NJOD) and "number-of-cascaded-jobs" (NCJ),
and a attribute value "saturated" for the attribute "printer-state". The attribute MCJP
is an integer value that is based on the capabilities of the printer. NJOB and NCJ
attributes allow monitoring of jobs sent to each printer for supported and unsupported
printers. IfNJOB or NCJ are greater than MCJP, then the attribute "printer-state" is
set to "saturated", prohibiting further spooling of print jobs to that particular printer.

Abstract: The switch has a switching position (1) carrying the current to be limited, a switching lock (8) operating with a movable contact (1a) for this position, a short circuit current trip with a coil (2) carrying the current and an armature (18) which acts on the movable contact directly or via the switch lock. An electronic overcurrent trip (6) interacts with the switch lock. A current sensor (3) detects the current and provides control signals to the overcurrent trip, which is powered from the current. The overcurrent rip contains a data processor with a memory (6a) for holding switch specific technical data entered during manufacture, e.g. the trip characteristic. The current sensor has an essentially linear characteristic as far as a threshold defined by the response level of the short circuit trip. The short circuit trip can be loaded with operating currents between 0.1 Amps and an upper limit or between a lower limit and 180 Amps.

Abstract: Upon injection molding, a linear encoder (22) detects a relative position
between the movable platen (12) and a fixed platen (11), and a strain sensor (20) detects a
mold clamping force. A mold clamping control unit (23) has a target platen position
value and a target mold clamping force value. The mold clamping control unit (23)
subtracts a platen position and a mold clamping force from the target platen
position value and the target mold clamping force value, respectively, to obtain
deviations. The mold clamping control unit (23) then switches the target to be
controlled between the platen position and the mold clamping force. The mold
clamping control unit (23) appropriately converts the deviation of either the platen
position or the mold clamping force into a control command value for a motor.
The converted value is supplied to a motor control unit (19). The motor control unit
drivingly controls a mold clamping motor (18) according to the control command.
