Title: Image forming apparatus
Inventor: MARUYAMA SHOJI
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 2001-12-21
Abstract: A high quality image is obtained by decreasing
color aberration and image blurring accompanying the
temperature rise in an image forming apparatus while
escaping the rise of costs and the increase of the size
thereof. A DSP samples a surface image of a
transferring belt or a transferring material at a fixed
period with a CMOS sensor, and the DSP takes the
sampled image into an inner buffer and stores it in an
image memory. Next, the DSP performs the comparison
operation of the image taken in by the sampling and an
image on the image memory that has been sampled at last
sampling in advance with an image comparison processing
part. Next, the DSP detects a shifted amount of the
image in the conveyance direction of the transferring
material or the transferring belt. Thereby, it is
introduced how many pixels of the last sampled image
has shifted in the conveyance direction at the time of
the next sampling, and then the movement rate is
calculated on the sampling time. The DSP obtains a
control rate of a transferring belt driving motor on
the result of the calculated movement rate to perform
the servo control of the motor.

Abstract: Video programming signals are generated by a digital
television broadcasting service in response to recording
information entered by a user (30) at a website (60) of the
broadcaster. The website contains schedule information (62)
which is transmitted to the user (30). In response to user
selection, an output signal is generated containing
information identifying programmes to be recorded. The
information includes start and finish time, date, and
channel information, or may be Programme Delivery Control
codes. The information also includes address information
for the user's recorder. The information is multiplexed
with the digital broadcast signal (26) such that video
programming signals are broadcast to the user's video
recorder (46). The signals are received by a digital
decoder (44) which checks for a unique video identifier
address that matches the user's video recorder (46). If a
matching address is found the digital decoder (44) transfers
the off-air video programming instructions into the memory
of the video recorder (46), thus effecting video recorder
programming. In an alternative embodiment (Fig.5), the
video signals are broadcast over the internet and the
control data is also sent to the recorder over the
internet.

dividing said frames into blocks starting from
macroblocks subjected to motion-compensation (13, 14)

(15) in such a way as to generate respective sets of
coefficients. The said sets of coefficients are then
assembled (20) by being organized into sets of vectors

variance of the vectors has been detected (214), the
vectors themselves are quantized (217 to 220) on a
number of available bits by means of a pyramid vector
quantizer (22), associating to the vectors respective
quantization pyramids having given sizes according to
the variance detected and to the number of available
bits. Finally, the vectors are encoded with respective
codewords.

Abstract: The rubber composition of the present invention is used for producing an
inner liner of a pneumatic tire, and is obtained by compounding a rubber
component and a layered or plate-like mineral. The layered or plate-like
mineral has an aspect ratio of 3 or more and less than 30. The present
invention further provides a production method of the rubber composition and a
pneumatic tire which is produced by using the rubber composition. The
present invention is applicable to a tire of passenger vehicles, bus or truck, and
a tire of airplane. According to the present invention, the air permeation
resistance is remarkably improved and the workability is also improved.
Therefore, the rapture and hole defect of a non-vulcanized sheet during the tire
construction can be avoided. By using the rubber composition, the gauge of
the inner liner of pneumatic tire can be reduced while maintaining the inner
pressure of tire, thereby reducing the weight of tire.

Des valeurs historiques de capacité de référence sans défaut sont compilées pour chaque ligne traversant le noeud, fournissant ainsi une mesure de la distance de chaque ligne. Une valeur de capacité minimale valide fournit une estimation de la capacité de référence entre le central et le noeud. Un histogramme de valeurs historiques de défaut est compilé et un nouveau défaut est comparé à cet histogramme de manière à établir la probabilité que ce défaut soit situé au niveau du noeud ou ailleurs. Par conséquent, la capacité de référence peut être obtenue sans nécessiter la présence d'un technicien au niveau du noeud, et la position probable d'un défaut peut être déterminée avec une précision accrue.
