Patent EP-0816798-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BOCKMAN JOHN J
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: In the claimed invention for an improved AC type interferometric metrology
apparatus, a change in position of an item disposed in a rotating reference frame is
measured. The rotating reference frame accumulates a rotation angle over a time period
with respect to a fixed reference frame. A quarter wave plate and an interferometer
comprising a polarizing beam splitter, a reference path reflector, and a measurement path
reflector are all mounted in the rotating reference frame. The measurement path reflector
is mounted to item so that changes in its radial position along an axis orthogonal to the axis
of rotation of the rotating reference system are measurable. In one preferred embodiment,
the components in the fixed reference frame are a two-frequency laser light source, a
stationary quarter wave plate, a receiver, for producing a measure signal containing
information representing the change in optical path length between the measurement and
reference paths of the rotating interferometer, the difference in the two frequencies of the
beams from the laser source, and the rotation angle, and a signal processor. The signal
processor receives the measure signal, a reference signal representing the difference
frequency of the laser light source, and a signal from a rotary encoder containing
information proportional to the rotation angle. The signal processor produces a signal
representing the measurement of the change in position. In another embodiment, the
rotary encoder is replaced by added optical components which automatically produce
optical signals that contain information about the rotation angle and the difference in the
two frequencies of the beams from the laser source.

Abstract: A remaining amount of toner in an image forming apparatus is
determined. The amount of toner remaining determines whether
the image forminng apparatus may be in a low toner state or a
no toner state. An estimate of the amount of toner remaining is
obtained by accurately estimating the amount of toner consumed.
Latent patch images formed on a photoconductive member 1 by an
exposure unit 3 are developed by developing means 5 to obtain
patch images. Densities of the patch images are measured by a
patch sensor 22, and the contents of a weighting coefficient
LUT 44 are changed. Meanwhile, the amount of toner developed,
which corresponds to the changed weighting coefficient, is
calculated by a development toner weight calculating unit 45
for each pixel on the basis of an exposure signal. This amount
of toner developed is summed by a development toner weight
summing means 46.

Abstract: A signal processing method and apparatus in which,
for limiting a ΣΔ modulated 1-bit digital signal for
amplitude limitation, the 1-bit digital signal is temporarily
converted into a multi-bit signal. For re-quantizing the
converted multi-bit signal, an integrator constituting a ΣΔ
re-modulator is controlled by a limiter. This enables the
1-bit digital signal to be amplitude-controlled in the form
of the digital signal without converting the 1-bit digital
signal into an analog signal.

Abstract: A device includes a self-information memory
(313) to store therein function data for other devices.
Receiving a request from another device for the
device name or function data, the device sends the data
stored in the self-information memory. When function
data is thereafter received, the device executes an
instruction indicated by the data. In case where a
plurality of devices each including the self-information
memory are connected to each other via a bus or the like
in a form of a network,
a master device includes in addition to the
self-information memory a connected device memory (308)
to store therein device name data of all of the connected
devices and a communication pair memory (309) to store
therein function data of the communication partner. The
master device requests the other devices for device name
data and for function
data thereof. When the requested data is received, the
master device stores the data in the communication pair
memory. Therefore, by referring to the data stored in
the pair memory, the master device recognize the device name
and the function
of the communication partner. In consequence, when a
function is selected and function data related thereto is
sent to a communication partner, the function can be
accordingly executed.

The motion signal is then subtracted from the video
signal to generate a predictive error signal which is
then coded by intraframe coding. The coded video signal

intraframe/field-decoding. A second motion signal is
generated, which indicates motion of pictures in both the
decoded video signal and a video signal decoded one frame

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a method for controlling the number of
mobile-telephones transmitting acknowledgments to broadcast short messages (BSM) over a same set of
random access channels at a same time. In this embodiment, the transmissions of BSM acknowledgments
is controlled by the wireless communication system using random access channel restrictions and random
access techniques. Specifically, the random access channel restrictions reduce collisions among
acknowledging mobile-telephones and call processing mobile-telephones by allocating one or more
specific random access channels over which a BSM acknowledgment can be transmitted, and the random
access techniques reduce collisions among acknowledging mobile-telephones by distributing transmissions
