Abstract: An imaging system controller (5) outputs a control signal (VC). The control
signal (VC) gives a command to output driving clocks (Vn, Hm) of an imaging
element (1) in a signal transmission period, and a command to suspend output of the
clocks (Vn, Hm) in an idle period subsequent to the signal transmission period.
The length of the idle period is a multiple of the length of the signal transmission period
by a natural number. The imaging system controller (5) periodically repeats output of
the control signal (VC) giving these commands a number of times corresponding to the
number of horizontal lines of the imaging element (1). In response to the commands of
the control signal (VC), a timing generator (2) generates and outputs the clocks ( Vn,
 Hm), and suspends generation and output of the same. An imaging device (10)
thereby intermittently drives the imaging element (1), to generate and output a picked-up
image signal (V2).

Abstract: The content of a hard disk drive or the like information storage media that
includes content stored in a host protected area (HPA) or reserve area of the hard disk
is duplicated using hard disk drive duplicating machinery. The duplication process
includes the steps of detecting the presence of a HPA on a source drive, and if
detected, generating an HPA area of the same or of a sufficiently accommodating size
on the target disk drive. Information from the source HPA drive is written to the thus
created HPA area of the target drive. The remaining content from the source drive is
written to an available section of the target drive. The invention is thereby able to
detect whether a source drive has a HPA, create an HPA on the target drive, and to
copy the content of the source HPA to the HPA on the target device to ensure a
proper duplication of the target drive.

Abstract: A method of inspecting wall thickness of blow-molded plastic containers includes
providing a blow-molder having a plurality of molds and a plurality of associated spindles.
The containers are inspected by impinging infrared light thereon and detecting the portion
of the infrared light that passes through the container and converting the same into
corresponding electrical signals which are delivered to a microprocessor. The
microprocessor compares the electrical signals with stored information regarding desired
wall thickness of the container and emits output thickness information. The microprocessor
receives signals from sensors associated with the blow-molder relating to the position of the
molds, the identity of the molds and the identity of the spindles in order that the wall
thickness information that is determined by inspection can be associated with specific molds
and spindles. The wall thickness information may be averaged over a period of time or a
number of containers. The information may be visually displayed so as to provide feedback
regarding the inspection process. In a preferred embodiment wall thickness measurements
are taken at several vertically spaced positions simultaneously. Corresponding apparatus is
provided.
