Abstract: The present invention is directed to an SOI LDMOS device having improved current handling capability, particularly in the source-follower mode, while maintaining an improved breakdown voltage capability. The improvement in current handling capability is achieved in a first embodiment by introducing an offset region between the source and thin drift regions. The offset region achieves an offset between the onset of the linear doping profile and the thinning of the SOI layer that results in the thin drift region. In a second embodiment a further increase in the current handling capability of an SOI device is achieved by fabricating an oxide layer over the offset region, with the thickness of the oxide layer varying up to about half the thickness of the oxide layer fabricated over the thin drift region.

Abstract: In reading an original by mounting reading means
(scanner unit) on a recording apparatus, the advancing
width of the original is so reduced that the reading
bands k, k+1, ..., are partially overlapped. For
example in the color image reading, in generating the
data of the (k+1)-th band, the data of a range
overlapped with the k-th band are corrected by the data
of the k-th band (for example by simple averaging),
thereby achieving image reading without bandwise
density fluctuation regardless of the reading mode and
the original size.

Abstract: An actuator is used in a surgical simulation
system that simulate the catheterization of cardiac
or peripheral vasculature. The simulation system provides
haptic feedback to a user of a catheter or
similar elongated object coupled to the system. The
actuator includes sensors that generate sense signals
indicative of axial translation and rotation of the
object by the user. The sense signals are provided to
a workstation executing a simulation program. In
response to the sense signals, the workstation calculates
axial forces and torques to be applied to the
object as haptic feedback to the user; and generates
drive signals representing the calculated axial
forces and torques. Mechanisms within the actuator
respond to the drive signals by applying corresponding
axial force and torque to a rigid tube that is
mechanically coupled to the object. One embodiment of
the actuator includes a carriage assembly for holding
the rigid tube between a pair of opposed pinch
wheels. The carriage assembly rotates to rotate the
object about its longitudinal axis, and the pinch
wheels rotate to translate the object axially.
Another actuator embodiment includes a first bearing
mounted on a rotary actuator and a second bearing
mounted on a sliding linear actuator. The rigid tube
has a square cross section for secure engagement by
the second actuator. The linear actuator grips the
tube and allows it to freely rotate about its longitudinal
axis.

Abstract: Using an electrophotographic photosensitive
member comprising a conductive substrate and having
thereon a photoconductive layer formed of a
non-single-crystal material mainly composed of silicon
atoms at least, charging, exposure, development and
cleaning are repeated while rotating the photosensitive
member, where dynamic frictional force (unit: gf)
produced when the photosensitive member surface is
cleaned by means of a cleaning blade to remove a
developer remaining on that surface is so set that its
standard deviation in its change with time is 2 gf or
below per 1 gf/cm of linear pressure of the cleaning
blade. 
     This makes it possible to cause no
melt-adhesion of toner and also to provide a durability
high enough to maintain such properties and stably
obtain images with less variations of potential
characteristics and a high quality.

electrodes or internal common electrodes, which compose of a piezoelectric
vibrator, are connected with each other at through holes situated inner than a
end face of the piezoelectric vibrator and connected to either a segment
electrode or a common electrode, which are formed on one surface in a

Abstract: A target-less calibration system for calibrating a
scanner for a particular input medium without using a
dedicated calibration target on that medium is disclosed. The
system employs the (predetermined) spectral response of the
scanner and representative spectral measurements of the input
medium to achieve the calibration. The representative spectral
measurements of the input medium are used to infer the set of
feasible spectra for the medium. Corresponding to a given
scanner signal output, another set representing the candidate
spectra that could have resulted in the given scanner output
are determined using the predetermined scanner spectral
response. Combining the two requirements, a spectrum in the
intersection of the thus determined sets of scanner candidate
spectra and prenoted feasible media spectra provides an
estimated spectrum of the input sample. Repeating the process
over the range of scanner outputs provides a complete spectral
calibration for the scanner for the given medium.
