Abstract: A method of monitoring and testing the insulation quality of electrical components, comprising the steps of: instructing the system on the characteristics of the individual monitored component; sampling the incoming signal from the monitored component at a predetermined sampling frequency f c , and storing N sampling readouts after analogue/digital conversion to binary (0, 1) or ternary (0, 1, -1) digits; statistically or pseudo statistically processing the N binary/ternary sampling readouts to provide the characterizing parameters of the monitored insulation failure class by hardware or software techniques; comparing the thus obtained parameters with those of the typical signals stored during the first instruction step. The invention also provides an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A process for producing a rubber-based composite
material including steps of laminating a rubber compound onto
a substrate, with a bonding layer of metal or metal compound
interposed therebetween, and subsequently vulcanizing the
rubber compound, characterized in that vulcanization is
carried out by controlling the composition of the rubber
compound and the amount of metal in the bonding layer such
that the following equation is established.
 x - 19 ≧ y ≧ 0.2 x - 12 
wherein x is the amount (atom%) of metal in the bonding
layer, and y is the slope (kgf·cm/min) of the vulcanization
curve of the rubber compound. The rubber-based composite
material retains good bond strength even when used in such a
way that its bond interface is in contact with water. In
addition, it has good adhesion to the substrate treated by
conversion treatment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus enables derivation of a bitmap
representation of an image, where the image includes a region filled with a
pattern. The method includes the steps of: accessing an original pattern bitmap
(40) from within the image; translating a copy of the original pattern bitmap (40)
to the origin of the bitmap representation (39) of the image as a reference
pattern bitmap (42) and arranging it as a reference pattern bitmap (42) with a
pattern that evidences a consistent phase regularity with the original pattern
bitmap (40); filling the region (44) to be filled with the pattern by determining a
correspondence of an anchor pixel of the region (44) to a pixel in the reference
pattern bitmap (42); ascribing an attribute of the corresponding pixel in the
reference pattern bitmap (42) to the anchor pixel of the region (44); and
repetitively determining correspondence of each further pixel in the region (44) to
a further pixel in the reference pattern bitmap (42) and ascribing an attribute of
each further pixel of the reference pattern bitmap (42) to each further pixel in the
region (44), until all pixels in the region (44) have been processed.

Abstract: Color inkdrops form on a print medium (4A) in at
least partly overlapping swaths (Fig. 12). Apparatus
holds and provides - or generates in real time - data
defining a generally randomized printmask (Figs. 16-22),
which is applied to control (20B, 31A, 42A) working parts
(20, 20', 35, 41) of an inkjet printer. Preferably the
apparatus establishes an elemental pixel subgrid (Fig. 13)
of rows (88) and columns (87), used in determining inking
patterns essentially throughout the image; and stores in
the pixel subgrid a previously generated, generally randomized
selection of pixel columns for printing (18, 19) of
an inkdrop, in each subgrid pixel row - and conversely an
analogous selection of pixel  rows  for printing a drop in
each subgrid pixel  column . Also preferably the generally
randomized selection is subjected to location rules (63,
67) as to pixels (3-5 in Fig. 15) above and to at least
one side of each pixel (95). Numerous specific masks are
specified as pass-number patterns, including an eight-by-eight
"knight" array (Fig. 16), two sixteen-by-five arrays
(Figs. 17, 18), a sixteen-by-ten array (Fig. 19), and
several four-by-four arrays (Figs. 20-22). The invention
minimizes directional and other patterns in a printed
color image, and coalescence and puddling of ink. A method
(Fig. 10) of creating and using a printmask includes
generating, as a row-and-column array, a series of essentially
randomized numbers for use in defining rows (88) or 
columns (87), or both, of a pixel subgrid (Fig. 13); and
storing (65, 72) the array.

formed a throttle portion 323. That is, the diameter of the
