Filed: 2003-03-17
Abstract: A method and a device for realising an effective value of a quantity to be varied in an electrical load connected to a multi-phase switchable DC/AC frequency convertor comprising a plurality of controllable switches. The value is realised by varying a current or a voltage delivered by the DC/AC frequency convertor through suitable switching of the switches thereof, and wherein the quantity exhibits a load angle which, averaged in time, leads or lags the voltage or current being delivered. The method and/or the device is arranged for carrying out the steps comprising the defining of a dead zone having dimensions that are representative of an allowable amplitude and phase angle deviation in the quantity to be realised; the orienting of the dead zone with respect to the voltage or current delivered by the DC/AC frequency convertor by rotating the dead zone through the load angle in the direction of the delivered voltage or current; and the switching of one or more of the switches on the basis of the manner in which the deviation in the quantity to be realised extends beyond the dead zone, for the purpose of realising the quantity during operation with an amplitude and phase deviation ranging within the dead zone.

ink in a form of droplets, and is movable along the nozzle face.
On the other hand, the driving unit functions to correlatively
move the ink jet head and the contact member. The top end (9) of
the contact member (10) is divided into a plurality of sections in
a direction orthogonal to the direction of its movement. Thus,
a foreign substance holding on the nozzle face can be removed
completely from the nozzle face by means of the wipe blade.
Furthermore, the growth of the foreign substance can be

Abstract: In a mobile environment, a mobile device includes an attached memory stick (removable memory) having a high speed - memory and storage with direct memory access embodied in an integrated circuit chip coupled to an ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver. The mobile device communicates with other like base devices, portable or stationary, via UWB transmissions using pulse bursts up to 1 Gbit per second. Data transfers between the devices occur in the simplex or duplex mode, after a low power communication connection is established between the devices. The communication link between the devices is in the range of 10-20 meters. The communication system allows existing device bus interfaces (which are much slower than ultra-wideband transmissions) to communicate between the fast read/write cycles of the memories integrated within the memory stick. Duplex transmission can occur by pulse interleaving sending side transmitters and receiving side transmitters.

Abstract: A motion image encoding apparatus for a current image containing an object uses mesh representation for encoding a motion image. The encoding apparatus includes an object extractor (10) for extracting the object contained in the current image from received current image data and outputting object contour data indicating a contour of the extracted object. A predictive encoder (12-18) performs a predictive encoding operation using the current image data, prestored data of a reference image, and control points of meshes which divide one of the current image and the reference image, and generates motion information involved with the control points, differential data between the current image and the reference image, and predictive image data. An object difference generator (20, 22) selects differential data in an object region among the differential data supplied from the predictive encoder to encode the selected differential data based on the object contour data output from the object extractor, and generates the selected differential data and the encoded differential data. An adder (24) receives and adds the predictive image data output from the predictive encoder and the differential data selected in the object difference generator, and updates the reference image data prestored in the predictive encoder using the image data obtained by the addition result.
