Patent EP-0629497-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BALDERSON SIMON NEVILLE
IPC: B32B3/12
Filed: 1994-06-01
Abstract: A multi-wall film (10) comprises two layers (11,12) of barrier film material which are peripherally sealed (13) one to another to form an enclosure (14), the enclosure (14) including a material (15) which is colour sensitive to presence or absence of a gas. A flexible container formed of such a film (10) is tamper evident because, if the film (10) is severed, the gas to which the material (15) is sensitive escapes from or enters in the enclosure (14) and the material (15) thereby changes colour and the colour change is visible. The enclosure (14) may be provided with spacing means, such as a mesh (16), the presence of which increases diffusion rate of gas into and out of the enclosure (14) when the film (10) is severed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a metal restraining element (130/140) is used to reduce thermal expansion/contraction stress between a nozzle member (18) and a print cartridge body (12). In a preferred embodiment, a nozzle member containing an array of orifices (17) has a substrate (28), having heater elements (96/98) formed thereon, affixed to a back surface of the nozzle member. The back surface of the nozzle member extends beyond the outer edges of the substrate. Ink (99) is supplied from an ink reservoir within a print cartridge body to the orifices by a fluid channel (92/94) within a barrier layer (30) between the nozzle member and the substrate. The nozzle member is adhesively sealed with respect to the print cartridge body by forming an ink seal (90) circumscribing the substrate, between the back surface of the nozzle member and the body. A metal restraining element, in the form of bolts (140) or an insert (130), is affixed to the print cartridge body in the vicinity of the nozzle member to limit the thermal expansion of the body in a first direction when the print cartridge is heated during manufacturing or storage. This prevents delamination of the nozzle member from the barrier layer when the body and nozzle member cool after being heated.

Abstract: A technique is provided for processing a decoded image signal (S10) having distortion and obtained by decoding coded data by utilizing a two-dimensional inverse orthogonal transformation, the coded data having been obtained by coding an image signal by utilizing a two-dimensional orthogonal transformation. The technique constructs (10) at least one correction block each including a plurality of pixels from a plurality of coded blocks from the decoded image signal and having a distortion on at least one boundary therebetween. The coded blocks of each correction block are adjacent to one another. A two-dimensional orthogonal transformation of each correction block is performed (11) by utilizing a Haar function so as to form coefficients including higher-order side coefficients (404), lower-order side coefficients (403) and a dc coefficient (402). A correction value is added to the higher-order side coefficients in accordance with a predetermined number of the lower-order side coefficients when the predetermined number of the lower-order side coefficients has values other than zero so as to form a correction coefficient signal for each correction block. A two-dimensional inverse orthogonal transformation (15) is performed on the correction coefficient signal of each correction block by utilizing the Haar function so as to obtain a smoothed image signal in which each distortion on each boundary of the coded blocks has been smoothed.

Abstract: In an objective lens for an optical head apparatus for reading or writing an information on a recording medium such as optical disc, astigmatism is added on axial wavefront aberration so that off-axis astigmatism is to be cancelled by the axial astigmatism. At least one surface of the objective lens is a toric or cylindrical surface, and a standard deviation of astigmatism component of axial wavefront aberration is defined as Wa is to be restricted in a range of 0 < Wa < 0.07λ (λ is a wavelength of a light to be used). When the objective lens moves in a radial direction of the optical disc, a light beam enters into the objective lens in an off-axis region where the aberration is compensated by the axial astigmatism.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for document processing whereby it can be easily determined whether or not document data has been changed since a user last referred to it. 
     A document data group, which holds a plurality of document data, and update time data for each user of the document data, which is held in the document data group, are held in user-by-user document reference time data. When the document data that is held in the document data group is read after a user is specified, the update time data for the read-out document data is read from the user-by-user document reference time data. Then, a check is performed to determine whether or not a person who performed the latest document data update is the specified user or is another user. In consonance with the result, the document data that has been updated by a user other than the specified user is so displayed on a display section that it can easily be identified.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus in a data storage device (2) of a data storage system (1) under the control of a microprocessor (8) for preventing a microprocessor stall upon the occurrence of a power failure during read/write operations. During normal operations, files (9) are written to a first storage area (28) of the data storage device (2) where a first flag associated with each file (9) is set when the writing of the respective file (9) has successfully completed. Upon the occurrence of a power failure, a data storage device initialization routine (20) is commenced upon reboot of the microprocessor. During initialization, an analysis phase is begun to generate sequences of events for at least those files (9) not having the first flag set. The events comprise memory operations and associated data and are each re-executable upon interruption of its execution and before execution of another event without modifying results of a previous execution of the respective event. The events generated are then written to an event storage area (24) in the data storage device (2). During an execution phase of the data storage device initialization, the events are retrieved and executed by the microprocessor (8) to cause the files (9) having at least the first flag set to be written in a compacted manner to storage locations in a second storage area (26) of the memory device (2) to maintain the integrity of those files (9). Subsequently, the first storage area (28) of the memory device (2) is erased to provide additional storage space for the writing of new files to the memory device (2). If a power failure or system failure occurs during the two-phase initialization process, the process is re-started generally at the point where it was interrupted so as not to leave the data storage device (2) in a partially compacted, and hence, a potentially inconsistent state.
