Patent EP-1428665-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EGUCHI TAKEO
IPC: B41J2/155
Filed: 2003-12-11
Abstract: With a liquid discharge device, a maximum of N liquid
droplets are discharged so as to land within each pixel
region for forming a pixel corresponding to the pixel region,
a target landing position is selected at random for each
liquid droplet, from M liquid landing position candidates,
forming an array in the direction of an array of nozzles,
determined such that at least a part of the landing liquid
droplet region corresponding to each landing position
candidate is included within the pixel region, and the
discharge direction of the liquid droplet is controlled such
that the liquid droplet lands at the determined target
landing position. The liquid discharge device having such a
configuration has the advantage of preventing occurrence of
streaks between dot columns in a printed image due to
irregularities in an array of discharge portions.

Abstract: In many cases it is not possible to reproduce enough video
levels on a PDP due to timing issues or a specific solution
against the false contour effect. In such cases dithering is
used to render all required levels. In order to reduce the
visibility of the dithering noise there is performed a
common change of the sub-field organization together with a
modification of the input video data through an appropriate
transformation curve based on the human visual system
luminance sensitivity (Weber-Fechner law).

Abstract: The universal document processor provides for an economical document processing
solution. Thus the capital investment in equipment could be maximized by the use of a single
system to perform a wide variety of tasks by a single system. Presently, no system combines
all these described functions in a single system, instead requiring a plurality of input and
output devices, frequently certain of them requiring installation and setup to the exclusion of
others, greatly decreasing efficiency in operation. With use on an inserter system one would
have a universal document processing solution system processing both cut sheet and
continuous in one front end.

Abstract: The invention relates to a half-bridge circuit, in which an input signal (VE) that is applied between two input terminals (15, 16) can be picked up at a phase output (P). The inventive half-bridge circuit comprises two switching transistors (1, 2), which can be controlled by a respective control signal that is applied between a control electrode (G1; G2) and an auxiliary electrode (HE1; HE2) and two diodes (D1, D2). The first input terminal (15) is connected to the first electrode (C1) of the first switching transistor (1) and to a cathode (K1) of the first diode (D1). In addition, a second electrode (E1) of the first switching transistor (1) is connected to an anode (A1) of the first diode (D1) by means of the phase output (P), via a line (L11, L15, L16), to a first electrode (C2) of the second switching transistor (2) and to a cathode (K2) of the second diode (D2). Finally, a second electrode (E2) of the second switching transistor (2) is connected to an anode (A2) of the second diode (D2) and to the second input terminal (16). According to the invention, the aforementioned auxiliary electrode (HE1) of the first switching transistor (1) is not connected to the interconnecting line between the second electrode (E1) of the first switching transistor (1) and the first electrode (C2) of the second switching transistor (2), as per prior art, but to the line (L11, L15, L16) to the phase output (P).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for connecting two flanges, in particular flanges that are attached to segments (spans) of a tower of a wind energy turbine and that interconnect said flanges, the latter being interconnected in a non-positive fit. The invention is based on the fact that a considerable amount of time can be saved if the layer between the flanges no longer has to be applied to one of the flange connection partners at the construction site, but has already been applied previously. In addition, said layer can consist e.g. of thermoplastic material (plastic). This allows a uniform quality of the layer to be guaranteed during its production under controlled conditions, reliably eliminating the risk e.g. of inclusion of foreign material in the layer during treatment in the open air. The layer can also be placed on the contact surface either prior to the transport of the individual sections of a tower, or at the construction site by being removed from its transport packaging and placed on the contact surface, thus saving time. The invention also relates to a method for connecting two flanges, according to which a layer is formed in the vicinity of the connection, said layer being less malleable during a first period prior to connection and a third period after connection than during a second period, which lies between the first and the third period and during which the viscosity of the layer increases.
