Abstract: An apparatus (12) by which both tremolo action and string clamping and string intonation adjustment are achieved effectively and in a very small space in a guitar has adjustment screw shanks (42) threaded into bores in the inertia bar (20) or block of the tremolo, and bear against the heads (40) of pull screws (39) that are connected to string clamping saddles (22). The heads (40) of the pull screws (39) are received in recesses (37) in the inertia bar (20); the inertia bar (20) is connected to the bridge plate (13) by several screws (47) that do not interfere with the screw shanks (42). To adjust intonation, the bridge plate (13) is pivoted upwardly and a wrench (46, Fig. 5) is employed to rotate the screw shanks (42) which in turn bear against the heads (40) of the pull screws (39). Furthermore, the pull screws (39) are rotated to release positions while the bridge plate (13) is in its upwardly pivoted position. After intonation is adjusted, the pull screws (39) are rotated to lock the saddles (22) in their desired positions.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of determining ink volume ejected from a printhead, controlling ejected volume, and warning of low ink supply. A printhead is fired to eject ink: this operating step includes heating the ink and head; carrying away heat, in the ejected volume, from the head; and conveying a volume of cooler ink to the head, from a supply, to replace the ejected ink. The method finds the head cooling caused by the carrying-away and conveying; and to this applies a known calibration to find the volume ejected. The heating is roughly equal to that which occurs in printing. Besides the operating step, the method preferably includes finding (a) printhead cooling due to static mechanical thermal drain alone, and (b) printhead thermal response to warming by the same amount of heat as used to fire the pen in the operating step -- but  without  ink ejection. These baseline values are used with the cooling observed in the operating step to isolate the effect of ink ejection and so find the cooling more accurately. The warming can be done by applying electrical energy to printhead-firing resistors, at pulse widths narrower than used for firing -- but greater frequency -- to inject power equal to that in normal operation. The temperature measurements are made by monitoring a conventional sensing resistor in the pen, and can include fitting a linear slope to the observed temperature-vs.-time relation. (All these same steps are also done in advance, for calibration, before the machine manufacture is completed -- with concurrent,  in situ  measurement, as by before-and-after pen weighings, of actual ink weight ejected.) Ascertained volume can be applied to control the printer -- particularly ejected ink volume -- and to warn that the ink supply needs replenishment.

Abstract: A method of compensating for a luminance point defect in a transmission display device which displays by selectively transmitting plural beams separated into different wavelength areas shed onto corresponding pixels of a transmission display element through a microlens according to a voltage applied to each pixel is arranged such that only a beam of a wavelength area shed onto a defective luminance point pixel is selectively blocked. On the other hand, the beam shed onto normal pixels surrounding the defective pixel, wherein a luminance point defect is not generated would be transmitted through the liquid crystal display panel without being blocked. Therefore, the method enables only the defective luminance point pixel to be compensated without affecting the normal pixels, thereby improving a display quality of the transmission display device.

Abstract: A plurality of color patches whose colors differ stepwise are colorimetrically analyzed to determining a relationship between color signals (CMY) and stimulus signals (XYZ) (step S11). A method of least squares is applied to the determined relationship to determine a relationship between first hypothetical color signals (CMY1*) and first hypothetical stimulus signals (XYZ1*) (step S12). These relationships are established as a forward conversion table (step S13). Then, a first reverse conversion table is generated from the forward conversion table using the Newton's method (step S14). The relationship between the first hypothetical color signals (CMY1*) and the first hypothetical stimulus signals (XYZ1*) in the first reverse conversion table is replaced with a relationship between second hypothetical color signals (CMY2*) and second hypothetical stimulus signals (XYZ2*) which have a physically matching capability (step S15), thus generating a second reverse conversion table from the first reverse conversion table (step S16). The second reverse conversion table is mapped to produce a reverse conversion table which is used (step S17) to convert stimulus signals (XYZ) into color signals (CMY).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a battery charger that can be connected in series to a power feed line, which lies between an external power source and an electric/electronic device, and that monitors the power consumption state of the electric/electronic device and begins and halts the charging of a battery in consonance with the power consumption state. Since a battery charger according to the present invention can be inserted in series into a power feed line that lies between an AC/DC adaptor and an electric/electronic device, the wiring arrangement is not complicated and a spare battery can be automatically charged. Since the charging is performed only during a period in which power consumption by the electric/electronic device is relatively low, the charging operation does not affect the system operation. As the battery charger does not require AC to DC conversion circuit, it is compact and light and is suitable for use along with a portable device. Further, when the spare battery pack is carried with being attached into the battery charger, the volume is not great, and as the terminal portions of the battery are covered and are protected from coming into contact with foreign conductive material, the possibility that the electrodes of the battery will be short-circuited can be prevented. To use a notebook computer while staying at a hotel on a business trip, a user need merely connect in series an AC/DC adaptor, a Travel Quick Charger, and a notebook computer in the named order via a power supply cord. The spare battery can be attached into a Travel Quick Charger while being carried to the destination.

Abstract: Using positive-phase or negative-phase clocks of phase count clock Pf 0 , a number M of multilevel quantized phase comparators output as values quantized in multiple levels the phase differences of output signals outputted from first and second N-stage frequency dividers wherein input clocks and output clocks, respectively, of a digital PLL have been N-stage frequency divided and moreover, divided into M groups. An adder adds this phase difference information and outputs advanced pulses or delayed pulses. An N1 counter counts up in response to advanced pulses and both outputs an increment pulse and undergoes setting to initial value N1 upon counting up to 2N1. In response to delayed pulses, the N1 counter counts down, and upon counting down to "0" both outputs a decrement pulse and undergoes setting to initial value N1.
