Abstract: A perforating device used by a stamp unit for perforating a desired character string pattern on a print face portion of the stamp unit which incorporates an ink impregnation member covered with heat sensitive stencil paper including a thermoplastic film. The perforating device includes: a thermal head having a plurality of heating elements selectively powered and heated to reach a first temperature to melt the thermoplastic film and perforate the heat sensitive stencil paper based on the character string pattern. A moving mechanism moves the thermal head and the print face portion relative to each other after the thermal head has performed the perforation. A head driving circuit powers the heating elements to reach a second temperature lower than the first temperature while the thermal head and the print face portion are being moved by the moving mechanism relative to each other.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for querying a disjunctive database is disclosed. An annotated object, which defines a complete object which is a unique element of the normal form of the database, is stored and maintained in memory. A complete object is created using the annotated object, and is stored in memory. A query is run against the complete object. If continued processing is required, a next function produces a next annotated object, which represents another unique element of the normal form of the database. The next annotated object is stored in memory, overwriting the previous annotated object. A complete object is then created using the next annotated object and is stored in memory, overwriting the previous complete object. The query is then applied to the complete object stored in memory. By processing the elements of the normal form one at a time and reusing memory spaces, the present invention has a polynomial space requirement. The invention also allows processing to begin from a pre-defined annotated object, either user defined or random. A user defined annotated object may define certain sub-objects which are not to be processed. Further, processing may terminate with the last processed annotated object as an output.

Abstract: Apparatus (10,100) and a method for measuring the thickness of a film (15) having top and bottom surfaces provides a low coherence light source (12) that generates a probe light signal. The film (15) is positioned between first and second reference reflectors, the first reference reflector being partially reflecting. The probe light signal is applied to the film (15) after passing through the first reference reflector. Part of the portion of the probe light signal leaving the film (15) is reflected back toward the first reference reflector by the second reference reflector. The light exiting through the first reference reflector is collected to form the input to a receiver (18) that determines the time delay between light reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the film (15) as well as the change in optical path length between said first and second reflector (25,26) resulting from the introduction of said film (15) between said first and second reflector (25,26). In the preferred embodiment the receiver (18) is constructed from an optical autocorrelator or an optical spectrum analyzer that includes circuitry for providing the Fourier transform of the frequency domain spectrum measured from the combined light signal. Embodiments in which only one of the reference reflectors is utilized provide a means for simplifying the output spectrum from the receiver (18) when multi-layer films (15) are utilized.

Abstract: A polymer film laminate is provided having improved
machinability on modern high speed belt drive machines,
particularly when these machines are set up to form lap
back seals. A method of assembling such a film is also
provided. The film includes an outside web having an upper
surface layer containing a silicone oil. This laminating
web can be used with virtually any co-laminate, metallised
or not, which is bonded thereto with an adhesive. Upon
winding the composite film laminate upon a core, silicone
oil is transferred to the inside surface of the laminate,
thus providing an inside coefficient friction which is
about equal to or less than the outside coefficient of
friction. Hot slip properties are also improved upon such
transfer. The outside and inside webs are independently
formed, which allows the inside web to include coatings or
film layers which are not ordinarily usable in a silicone
oil-containing film.

Abstract: To realize noiseless-picture-by-picture-stepping, it is
necessary to start the capstan motor at a defined
point with regard to the drum position and further, to
accelerate the capstan with a fixed slope. Similar
requirements exist for stopping the capstan motor. 
     It is proposed to measure one or more
points of the capstan motor movement during
accelerating and breaking phase, and to compare values
resulting from these measurements with predefined
values necessary for the best performance. In case of
mismatch of the capstan movement at a certain
position, the respective current limitation will
increase or decrease in small steps within a defined
window so that the respective slope adapts
automatically to the predefined slope. The respective
adapted current limitation values will be stored in a
non volatile memory, so that the respective adaptation
needs to be performed only when there is any change of
the conditions.  
     High quality of slow motion and stepping mode due to
independence from tolerances of mass-production, tape
tolerances, temperature, etc... 
Avoiding of corresponding adjustments might be
necessary otherwise.
