Abstract: In a recording apparatus for recording on a
recording medium by a plurality of recording heads, a
scan unit has a carriage capable of mounting the
recording heads at a predetermined interval and causes
the recording heads to scan corresponding divided
recording areas. A record control unit causes the
recording heads to conduct a first record mode to
record an area of a first recording width in a
direction of scan by shared recording by the recording
heads of the corresponding recording areas and a second
record mode to record an area of a second recording
width smaller than the recording width of the first
recording width by causing at least one of the
recording heads to record in the corresponding divided
recording area when the corresponding divided recording
areas are scanned. A distance between two recording
apparatus mounted at outermost positions in the
arrangement of the recording heads on the carriage is
not larger than a difference between the first
recording width and the second recording width.

Title: Support system for resonating element of phase modulator
Inventor: DYOTT RICHARD B
IPC: G01C19/72
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: A phase modulator is provided with supports (30) attached to the resonating element (28).
The supports have a length which is an odd number of quarter wavelengths of a
longitudinal acoustic wave excited in the supports by the resonating element. As such, a
longitudinal acoustic wave excited at the resonating element end of the support travels
along the support, is reflected at the other end of the support, and returns in opposite
phase to that of the excited wave, thereby causing a null in longitudinal amplitude of the
wave and reducing the damping of the resonating element.

Abstract: An input image is subjected to transform by a DCT
transforming unit 20. A coefficient analyzing unit 30
compares a predetermined coefficient and coefficient data
120, and obtains low-frequency image data 150 of the input
image by a high-frequency coefficient masking unit 50 and an
inverse DCT unit 60 on the basis of a result of that
comparison. A pixel subsampling unit 70 receives this low-frequency
image data 150, and generates a subsampled image on
the basis of the aforementioned result of comparison. The
subsampled image and coefficient information are transmitted
to a decoding side. A decoding apparatus decodes an image on
the basis of the subsampled image and the coefficient
information.

Abstract: A method for selecting a color value on a digital image, initializing a color modification tool to the selected color value, and then modifying the color value. After selecting a color modification tool (44) such as a contrast LUT, a user selects a region on a digital image containing the color value to be modified. The selected region is highlighted (58), and a knot (38) corresponding to the selected color value is automatically placed on the input/output LUT graph (36) of the color modification tool. A slide bar, (60) and a graphic readout (62) providing the "before" and "after" values of the selected color value, are superimposed directly on the digital image adjacent the highlighted region. The user can then modify the selected color value by displacing the slide bar (64, 68). The digital image, graphic readout, and the input/output LUT graph of the modification tool are updated in response to the manipulation of the slide bar, allowing the user to immediately visualize the affect of the color change on the digital image.

Abstract: In a system having many apparatus connected with AV link (5,6), e.g. using SCART connectors (1-4), automation of configuration can be realized. A transmission side apparatus varies a signal which is sent to pin-8 with interpolation of a certain time period from a signal which is sent to pin-10. The signal of pin-8 is different from the signal of pin-10 in that the signal is insulated between connectors in an apparatus and operates independently for each connection. Therefore the receiving side apparatus can identify the physical position of the transmission side apparatus with reference to pin-8 signal and can discriminate the type of the transmission side apparatus with reference to pin-10 signal.

Abstract: A spread-spectrum signal receiving method and apparatus in which a correlation
operation is performed for obtaining a correlation between a base-band component of a
received spread-spectrum signal and a spread code, so as to demodulate the received
signal. In the method, a correlation operation between the spread code and the
base-band component, and a correlation operation at a timing equal to a timing
difference between the spread code and the base-band component in the former
correlation operation step, the timing difference being 1/2 of a spread-code interval,
are performed. Then, based on results obtained in these correlation operations, a
correlation operation result at the timing point where a timing difference between the
spread code and the base-band component is less than 1/2 of the spread-code interval,

Abstract: A scheme is described for a data service system (50) having a
number of modules (51, 54-56, 61-67). Some of the modules (51, 54-56,
61-67) are interdependent. To measure the status of an individual module,
the scheme first collects measurements from a number of measurement
routes (110-116) that involve the module. Then the scheme analyzes the
interdependencies of the measurements to determine the status of the
individual module. The scheme may also determine status of the data
service system (50) with a minimal number of measurement routes. This is
done by determining (1) all possible measurement routes, (2) determining
the dependency between the modules and the measurement routes, and (3)
analyzing the dependency to select minimal number of the measurement
routes. The scheme can diagnose whether a module is a problematic
module or not by analyzing a number of measurements that involve the
module. If one of the measurements is good, the module is identified as
non-problematic.
