Abstract: A distortion limiter for limiting the amount of distortion of an inverting amplifier (110) is disclosed. A comparator (108) produces a pulse when a signal level at an inverting input of the inverting amplifier exceeds a reference voltage level. The pulse charges a capacitor (C1). When the charge on the capacitor is sufficient to raise the gate voltage of a junction field-effect transistor Q1 above cutoff, the Q1 shunts the input signal to reduce its level. The distortion characteristics can be controlled by using a voltage divider to adjust the voltage across the Q1. A bias voltage at the gate of the Q1, keeps the Q1 turned off when the inverting amplifier is not clipping.

Abstract: In a pump mechanism attached to a container to fill a liquid and eject the liquid from the container, the pump mechanism includes: a cylinder having a liquid introduction port; a piston which is displaceable in the cylinder; an ejection guide path for the liquid, the path being communicated with the space in the cylinder, the liquid stored in the cylinder being ejected via the ejection guide path by a pushing force which causes the piston to be displaced from the original position to a displaced position; and a recovery device for restoring the piston from the displaced position to the original position by a gas pressure and storing the liquid in the cylinder when the pushing force is released. The pushing force causes the space in the piston to enter a substantially vacuum state, and the gas pressure is generated by a pressure difference between the internal pressure of the space and atmospheric pressure acting via the liquid on the piston. With the pump mechanism, when it is to be subjected to a disposal process or a recycle process, it is not required to conduct selection according to the material and which can be therefore subjected to such a process at a low cost.

Abstract: An integrated circuit having a normal operating mode and a special operating mode, such as a special test mode, is disclosed. The special test mode is enabled by a series of signals, such as overvoltage excursions at a terminal, rather than by a single such excursion, so that it is less likely that the special test mode is entered inadvertently, such as due to noise or power-down and power-up of the device. The circuit for enabling the test mode includes a series of D-type flip-flops, each of which are clocked upon detection of the overvoltage condition together with a particular logic level applied at another terminal; multiple series of flip-flops may be provided for multiple special test modes. Additional features include the provision of a power-on reset circuit which locks out the entry into the test mode during power-up of the device. Acknowledgement of the entry into test mode is provided by the presentation of a low impedance at output terminals while the device is not enabled; chip enable of the device causes the device to exit the test mode. Once in test mode, the output enable terminal of the device can provide a chip enable function.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for toner ejection printing (TEP) that improves print quality by synchronizing the developer roll (DR) voltage to the gate electrode voltage with the proper phase relationship, providing tonal evenness in the print quality and maximising the development time window. It further provides an improved DR waveform for TEP. The apparatus (100) for toner ejection printing includes a developer supply (102) for providing electrostatically charged toner particles (104), a printhead structure (106) including a plurality of apertures (108) confronting a back electrode (110) disposed in opposite relation with a surface of the printhead structure (106). Electrical signals applied to the printhead include a voltage applied to the developer supply (102) and a voltage applied to the gate electrode (126) of the printhead, where the voltage applied to the developer supply and the gate electrode are typically synchronized to maximise the development time window and thus maximise the amount of toner deposited. The phase relationship between the DR voltage and the gate electrode voltage is defined so that the gate voltage lags the DR voltage by a predetermined time value. Preferably, the predetermined time delay equal to the transit time between the developer roll and the printhead of the highest electrostatically charged toner particle capable of overcoming electrostatic adhesion to the DR for the voltage condition used, which maximises the amount of toner deposited, a critical factor with the small time development window of TEP processes.

Abstract: A sideframe pedestal jaw (50) accommodates a bearing adapter (70) which locks the adapter (70) to the sideframe (12), thereby preventing it from all forms of movement within the pedestal jaw opening (35). Locking the bearing adapter (70) forces the bogie axles (16) to remain at a right angle with respect to the sideframes (12). Maintaining this right angular relationship substantially curtails bogie warpage, which induces wheel misalignment that leads to undesirable bogie hunting and high speed instability.

Abstract: A scheduling mechanism for satisfying specified Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for each VC of an end-point host in an ATM network. The scheduling mechanism includes a time slot ring, a VC table and a pending queue. The time slot ring is an array, wherein each element represents a time slot. Each slot contains a pointer which contains the virtual channel identifier (VCID) which is to be serviced in this time slot. The VC table is an array of all the VC descriptors. The pending queue is used for queuing a new VC and also at a later time, when the scheduler is unable to find a time slot for a VC it is queued in the pending queue. The scheduler reads and processes one slot at a time at the maximum speed that the physical link will allow. The scheduler circularly services the slots in the ring continuously and a current slot pointer (CSP) points to the slot being serviced. For the current time slot, the scheduler first services the VC waiting on this slot, then schedules a new target time slot for this VC after marking the current slot empty. The target slot is calculated based on a cell-to-cell spacing parameter and a remainder mechanism is used to correct the average output cell rate to a required rate. In an alternate embodiment, the time slots within the ring are grouped into clusters. The ring contains cluster pointers which point to the first VC to be serviced. The rest of the VCs in the cluster are linked to the first VC. In order to accommodate different classes of service, each entry in the ring holds multiple cluster pointers.
