Patent EP-0531171-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHEUER MARK A
IPC: B41J2/525
Filed: 1992-09-04
Abstract: Recalculation of electrostatic target values in a tri-level imaging apparatus (2) are utilized to extend the useful life of the photoreceptor (P/R) (10) . The increase in residual voltage due to P/R (10) aging which would normally necessitate P/R (10) disposal is obviated by resetting the target voltage for the full ROS (48) exposure when it reaches its exposure limit with current P/R (10) conditions. All contrast voltage targets are then recalculated based on this new target by a control board (150) incorporating non-volatile memory (156). 
     The new targets are calculated based on current capability of the overall system and the latitude is based on voltage instead of exposure.

Abstract: An interconnect structure for connecting an integrated circuit (IC) chip (70) to a supporting substrate is described. The supporting substrate serves to communicate signals between the IC chip (70) and the "outside world," such as other IC chips. In one embodiment, the interconnect structure comprises an interconnect substrate having a first post (14) disposed on one of its surfaces (13) and a second post (80) disposed on another of its surfaces. One post is for contacting the IC chip and the other is for contacting the major substrate. Each post comprising an elongated body having top (18) and bottom ends (17), with the bottom end being mounted to one of the substrate surfaces (13) and the top end (18) having a substantially flat surface which is substantially co-planer with the substrate surface. The interconnect substrate further comprises a means (22) for de-concentrating the mechanical stain present at one or both of the top and bottom ends of each post. The first and second posts are electrically coupled to one another so that an electrical signal may pass from IC chip to the supporting substrate, and vice-versa.

Abstract: An image processing system encodes a segmented or mosaic image into a set of fixed-length data packets, from which the segmented image may be reproduced with no significant loss of detail. The exemplary system includes a chain coder which translates the segmented image into a form in which the image segments are represented as respective sequences of border values, each border value indicating a direction to the next border value. This image is further encoded such that each pair of border values becomes a single further border value and a pair of complementary codes. These further border values are processed in the same manner, to further reduce the number of border values needed to represent the image. When the number of border values has been reduced to a level such that the image may be encoded in a single packet, the encoding system provides these border values and all complementary code values that have been generated as the code representing the segmented image. Both the reduced border values and the complementary codes are variable-length coded before being stored for use by, or transmitted to an image reconstruction system.

Abstract: A soluble coffee product which has the appearance of roast and ground coffee particles. The product is produced by a process in which a coffee extract is frozen, comminuted into particles, freeze-dried, and darkened. During the process, the particles are separated into an oversize fraction of size greater than about 1.1 mm (16 US Standard mesh), a fines fraction of size less than about 0.87 mm (20 US Standard mesh), and a middle fraction of size between the oversize fraction and the fines fraction. Then, the middle fraction is separated into a by-pass fraction and a major fraction, the by-pass fraction forming 2 to 20% by weight of the middle fraction. The major fraction and the fines fraction are then combined and the particles in the combination are darkened. The darkened particles and the by-pass fraction are then combined to provide the soluble coffee product.

Abstract: A system (60) converts a source image (10) of grey level pixel values into a destination image (18) of binary pixel values, the source and destination images (10, 18) having different levels of resolution. The system (60) includes a memory (86) which stores at least a portion of a row of source pixels, a corresponding row of a grey level threshold matrix (13) and a relative input index array (RIIA) (92) which employs a single index bit for each column of the destination image (18). Index bits are read from the memory (86)and placed in an index bit register (202), and N source pixel values are written into a source register (200). A scale logic circuit (212, 208) includes N destination image column outputs and is responsive to each index bit, to output one grey level source pixel on each output. An alignment switch (216, 218, 220, 222) is responsive to a clock input to provide N threshold pixel value outputs that are aligned with corresponding destination image pixels. A comparator (206) compares each source grey level pixel with a corresponding threshold pixel value and assigns a binary value in accordance with the comparison action. A controller (100) initially loads the registers with values from the memory (86) and then synchronously operates the system (60) to output, in parallel, N destination image binary pixel values per clock cycle.

Abstract: A method and system for enrolling speed dial names includes providing speaker dependent templates and associated telephone numbers and providing a penalized garbage model for unrecognized speech. When a request for a new template is received it is determined if the list of speed dial names is full (Step 201) and is not it is determined if that name is too similar (Step 205) to a name already on the speed dial list. If so, that name is rejected but if not it is determined if the speed dial name is too short (Step 302), and if not too short or if the user wants to enter the short name the system asks the user to repeat the speed dial name and if a match it is entered. If not a match the system will swap the first and second utterance and compare to see if a match.
