Abstract: A technique for generating the tap-weight coefficients for a signal dispersion cancelling filter utilizes circuitry (204,205) which is responsive to received signal samples and generates a time-ordered sequence of derived signal samples. The tap-weight coefficient circuitry (204,208,210-218) includes filters which operate in response to this sequence. One such filter (211) is responsive to the derived signal samples in a first portion of the sequence after the time-order of the derived signal samples therein is reversed, and another filter (208) is responsive to the derived signal samples in a second predetermined portion of the sequence. This technique is applicable to a variety of communications systems including television and is particularly suitable for integrated circuit implementation.

Abstract: A printing device and control method that facilitates setting of wait periods for cut-sheet paper insertion and commencement of paper transport or printing through application of wait time control commands. By establishing a command for setting these wait periods and incorporating apparatus (151) in the printer for analyzing such a command, a configuration is realized in which these wait periods are settable and adjustable by the host computer. This provides more efficient POS type printer control and allows setting of the desired time required for positioning recording paper according to operator experience. An interface unit (64) is used to receive and interpret print data and recording paper positioning time setting commands and data from the host computer. The received commands and data are temporarily stored in a data memory, and after insertion of the recording paper is detected, used by one or more timing circuits (152, 154) to wait for a set amount of time before transport of or printing on the cut-sheet paper is initiated by a printing mechanism controller (156), during which time paper positioning is confirmed .

Abstract: The invention relates to single-sided fastening of a stator of a brushless direct-current motor to a housing part, a stationary stator shaft (7) having a rotatably supported rotor (15) at its one end and a fixedly arranged flange part (19) at its other free end, in order to connect the stator (2) to the housing part (3). In known brushless direct-current motors, noise occurs in this case which is on the one hand produced by the magnetic latching elements and by the radial forces which are dependent on the rotor position, and on the other hand as a result of the interaction between the stator and rotor while the coils are being switched over. The noise which occurs at low rotational speeds as a result of the commutation is reduced according to the invention in that the flange part (19) has a plurality of threaded holes (21) which are arranged concentrically with respect to the stator shaft (7) and into which the screwed threads (27) of bolts (29), which are supported in a damped manner in the housing part (3) can be screwed. In consequence, damped stator fastening is created using means which are simple and easy to install, in the case of which fastening the higher-frequency elements of the frequency content of each individual pulse are effectively weakened. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Skeleton boxes for liquefied gas containers conventionally have a loading opening formed in one side wall of the box and, as a closing device, a metal closure rod which divides the loading opening transversely and is held in metal bushes. However, the use of metal leads to a progressive deformation of these metal parts, due to the gas containers knocking against the closure rod, up to non-functionability of the closing device. According to the invention, such wear is ruled out by a rigid design of the closure rod (5) and of the holding elements (1, 1') made of plastic material. The closing device is composed of a closure rod (5) which is preferably T-shaped in cross-section and two holding elements (1, 1') which are fitted over it in mirror image and are placed with a U-shaped hooked part 2 against a longitudinal bar (6) of the skeleton box (8) in each case. The closing device (1, 5, 1') which holds itself together is operated by displacing it along the longitudinal bars (6), devices serving for bounding (7) the displacement path towards the bottom and for retention (9) in the uppermost position. The skeleton box (8) is preferably likewise made of plastic in a rigid design. <IMAGE>

Abstract: After an ink-jet recording head (1) with a plurality of discharging portions (Nos. 1-128) arranged is main-scanned in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the discharging portion arrangement to record a first image area, sub-scanning of the head is performed. Before the head is main-scanned to record a second image area, the sub-scanning is performed so that a few discharging portions (Nos. 1-3) on an upper edge portion of the head (1) in second main-scanning overlap part of the first image area. Ink droplets land on pixels in the overlapping portion twice for each main-scanning, and image density of the pixels in the overlapping portion is controlled by the sum number of the landing ink droplets. This enables image density unevenness of image density, a "black stripe banding" or a "white stripe banding" in a boundary of an image area being recorded in each main-scanning to be markedly reduced.

Abstract: In a control device for controlling a servo motor (1) driving a robot arm, a target position command signal (S p ) is input to a first operation section (5), which generates a speed command value (S v1 ) for the speed feedforward. The target position command signal (S p ) is also input to a delay section (6). A target position command signal (S p ') delayed by a time period is obtained by the delay section (6) and supplied to a second operation section (7). A positional deviation (E) between the target position command signal (S p ') and a position feedback signal (P) is calculated by the second operation section (7). The obtained positional deviation (E) is input to a third operation section (8) and generated as a speed compensation command signal (S v2 ). A speed command signal (S v ) obtained by addition of the speed feedforward signal (S v1 ) and the speed compensation command signal (S v2 ) is supplied to a servo driver (10) for driving the servo motor (1). As a result, the time lag in the response of a system of the controlled system after the servo driver (10) can be compensated for and an error in the positional deviation or the speed command signal (S v ) can be prevented from being increased.

Abstract: A wide bandwidth slope detector (100) has a comparator (102) with first and second time constant circuits (104a, 104b) coupled to first and second inputs thereof (102a, 102b). Where one time constant is on the order of three times the other, the comparator (102) will change state in response to the slopes of an input analog signal on line (104c) coupled to the time constant circuit. Feedback can be provided by a fixed resistor (109) or by a tracking circuit. A smoothing or clipping circuit can be used to pre-process the input analog signals to eliminate noise therefrom. A bar code reading system combines first and second clipping circuits to smooth the highs and lows of the input signal, coupled to a slope detector (100). The tracking circuit can be used to provide a symmetrical hysteresis characteristic.

Abstract: A sign-based decorrelation detection and adaptive control arrangement includes structure for detecting cross-correlation between a far-end signal and an echo residual following a balance filter. During the adaptive process, if the detected correlation value is below a certain threshold, indicating that the two signals are decorrelated, the adaptation of the balancing filter is stopped. At such a point, proper echo cancellation has been achieved. Conversely, when the detected correlation value exceeds a threshold, the adaptation is continued until the correlation value falls below the threshold again. In any event, such decorrelation controllers are able to detect signal decorrelation and to control adaptation even in the presence of a double-talker condition.

Abstract: A laser optical system for scanning a laser beam using a rotary polygonal mirror made of plastics. In the laser optical system, a portion close to the edge on the side along the rotary direction of the mirror surface (18) of the rotary polygonal mirror made of plastics is not used as an effective reflecting surface since the accuracy of this portion is difficult to be stabilized because of the problems caused in the process of molding. Due to the foregoing, a laser beam is always reflected on the effective reflecting surface (21) close to the center of the rotary polygonal mirror, the accuracy of which is high. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the unevenness of writing in the laser optical system.
