Abstract: An image forming apparatus which corrects a transfer
amount of a recording material without a scanner is provided.
A paper (P) is transferred to a position in which the transfer
amount is adjusted by an LF roller (18), and a test pattern image in
which a first pattern image and a second pattern image are
printed in different transfer positions. Then, the paper is
transferred to a position in which the transfer amount is
adjusted by an exit roller, and the aforementioned test pattern
image is printed. The test pattern images printed as above are
used to visually observe and determine a degree of error in the
amount transferred by the respective rollers. Accordingly, by
receiving an input based on the printed test pattern images, it
is possible to correct the transfer amount of the respective
rollers.

Abstract: Two document sets are compared in natural language processing and the
distinctiveness of each constituent element (such as a sentence, term or phrase) of one
document set is evaluated by dividing both the target and comparison documents into
document segments, constructing the sentence vector of each document segment whose
components are the occurring frequencies of terms occurring in the document segment, and
projecting all the sentence vectors of both the documents on a projection axis to find a
projection axis which maximizes a ratio equal to: (squared sum of projected values originating
from the target document)/(squared sum of projected values originating from the comparison
document). Projected values are obtained by projecting the sentence vectors on the projection
axis, and the degrees of distinctiveness of the individual sentences of the target document are
calculated on the basis of the projected values.

Abstract: In a differential limiting torque control section, a target differential rotation speed between front and rear drive shafts is established according to a dial position inputted by a driver of a variable dial. Further, an actual differential rotation speed between front and rear drive shafts is calculated and a deviation between the target differential rotation speed and the actual differential rotation speed is calculated. Based on the deviation, a first differential limiting torque and based on a dial position of a variable dial a second differential limiting torque are calculated. Further, a third differential limiting torque is calculated based on the dial position and a throttle opening angle. A final differential limiting torque between front and rear drive shafts is obtained by summing up these first, second and third differential limiting torques.

Abstract: A method of forming a via hole through a glass wafer includes depositing a
material layer (110) on an outer surface of the glass wafer, the material layer
having a selection ratio higher than that of the glass wafer (200), forming a via-patterned
portion on one side of the material layer, performing a first etching in
which the via-patterned portion is etched to form a preliminary via hole (130),
eliminating any remaining patterning material (120) used in the formation of the
via-patterned portion, performing a second etching in which the preliminary via
hole (130) is etched to form a via hole (130') having a smooth surface and
extending through the glass wafer, and eliminating the material layer (110). The
method according to the present invention is able to form a via hole through a
glass wafer without allowing formation of an undercut or minute cracks, thereby

Abstract: A servomotor driving controller capable of highly accurate machining, which prevents a quadrant projection upon change in the quadrant where machining is made. After the position deviation converges to zero by means of learning control, the velocity command or a difference between the velocity command and the commanded velocity which is the derivative of the position command is stored as velocity correction data. Until a predetermined time period elapses from when the sign of the position command is reversed, an amount of correction for each period of position loop processing is determined based on the correction data, and used to correct the velocity command, and torque command.

Abstract: A radar (1) is arranged to transmit electromagnetic energy in pulse
repetition intervals and to receive reflections or echoes (4) from objects (5,
6) in range gates (7, 7', 7") intended for the purpose, which range gates are
provided with Doppler filters. The radar is arranged to approve ambiguous
echoes that are desirable and to suppress ambiguous echoes that are of
no interest or that interfere with the display function of the radar. The radar
works with a frequency that varies according to a staggered or wobbling
pattern. The respective ambiguous echoes produce only one pulse in the
respective range gates concerned, within a predetermined number of
periods. The respective Doppler filter concerned is arranged to work with
an impulse function response that only consists of a small number of
samples. The Doppler filter is also arranged, during the predetermined
number of periods, to give rise to a number of independent samples from
reflectors within the radar's unambiguous range (10). When the said
independent samples exceed the said small number of samples, the radar
approves the ambiguous echo. Otherwise, it is suppressed. In this way,
ambiguous echoes are prevented from interfering with the reception or
display of the echoes on the display screen. The suppression of
asynchronous interferences, for example pulses from other radar stations,
can also be made easier in a simple way.
