Patent EP-0720073-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIGUCHI HARUHIKO
IPC: G04C3/00
Filed: 1995-12-20
Abstract: In an electronic watch, a hand wheel gear 109b in a gear train has a tooth 124 having a profile K so as to prevent the backward movement of a hand 104. During initialization, the gear train is rotated backward such that the hand 104 is turned to the backward movement preventing position, which serves as an initializing position, and a reference position during detection of a hand position. Usually, a backward movement command is issued when the hand 104 is supposed to be at the reference position. The hand 104 is judged to be out of the reference position when its backward movement is detected.

Abstract: Digital input commands defined in a page description language are separated in two types of instructions : first instructions resulting in solid regions on the printed output and second instructions resulting in halftoned regions. The first instructions generate a binary bitmap indicating a high or low density of the solid regions and a binary bitmask indicating whether recorder elements belong to a solid or screened region. The bitmap and bitmask are preferentially compressed by a lossless compression method. The second type of instructions generate a contone map, representing images having contone levels and graphics having intermediate levels. The contone map is preferentially compressed by a lossy compression method, stored on a storage medium and retrieved once the output device must render the rasterized image. The rasterized image is constructed on the fly from the compressed bitmap, bitmask and contone map, which is halftoned before combination with the bitmap. A serious amount of memory can be saved, while keeping up with the speed of the rendering process in the output devise and without deteriorating the quality of the reproduction.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of collecting blood cells use a first container (16) to collect and separate blood. A filtration system (14) is provided that has a first, dual purpose, flow path (38) that is initially used to convey plasma and platelets from the first container (16) to a pair of transfer/storage containers (30,32). A second flow path (34) leads to a temporary transfer container (28) through a filtration device (36). The dual purpose fluid path (38) is next used to convey blood cells, now substantially freed of undesired matter by the filtration device, from the temporary storage container (28) to a satellite storage container (18) along a path that bypasses the first container (16), thereby avoiding contamination of the filtered blood cells by residual undesired matter in the first container (16).

Abstract: In a case where a plurality of outputs are connected and used, even when a voltage higher than the power-supply voltages inside the integrated circuit is applied to the signal output terminal, the reliability of the internal elements is prevented from deteriorating. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes a PMOS transistor (P6) that has its source potentially isolated from its back gate and has one end of the current path between its source and drain connected via a transistor switch (P5) to the signal output terminal (IO). The integrated circuit generates a control signal having a value proportional to the voltage at one end of the current path between the source and drain of the PMOS transistor (P6), supplies the generated control signal to the gate of the PMOS transistor (P6), and controls the voltage of the control signal so that the potential difference between one end of the current path between the source and drain and the gate of the PMOS transistor may be within a desired range of values when the PMOS transistor (P6) is set in the on state by the control signal.

Abstract: A method for making a patterned metal foil/substrate laminate (10) by laminating a sheet of metal foil (14) to a substrate (12) by applying an adhesive between the metal foil and substrate and irradiating the metal foil with a laser beam in a predetermined pattern to vaporize the irradiated portions of the metal foil. Particularly where the laminate (10) is intended for microwave packaging applications, the laminate further includes a sheet of barrier layer material, preferably polymer film (16), laminated to the patterned metal foil layer. The polymer film layer-containing laminate can be formed into a container for packaging food intended for heating in a microwave oven. A particularly effective pattern comprises a plurality of metal foil islands electrically separated by dielectric substrate gaps. Preferably, the metal foil is aluminum foil, desirably unannealed aluminum foil, and the substrate is selected from paper and coated or uncoated paperboard. The patterned metal foil/substrate laminate is also useful for electrical circuitry, particularly, for example, as the resonant circuit in electronic surveillance tags.

Abstract: An active redundancy system (34) for high power satellite communications payloads uses multiple antenna beams driven by multiple power amplifiers (44) and requires power redistribution among the beams during the lifetime of a payload. Instead of commonly used redundancy switches, a number of power amplifiers (44) equal to or greater than the number of antenna feed elements (53) are used to provide extra output power at the beginning of life. As power amplifiers (44) fail, the amplitude and phase of the signals driving the remaining power amplifiers (44) are adjusted to maintain antenna performance. Power amplifiers (44) having sufficient capacity are used to ensure that, given an anticipated number ob power amplifier chain failures, performance requirements can be met at the end of life.

Accordingly, the ALR lever (94) is held at the non-operating position by the stopping means (70) from the second state to the third state, and therefore, the webbing can be pulled out to its full length without stopping rotation of the winding shaft in the direction in which the webbing is pulled out.
