Patent EP-0666518-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAMAUCHI KOUICHI
IPC: G03G15/16
Filed: 1995-02-03
Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photoreceptor drum (15) on which a toner image is formed, a transfer drum (11) for transferring the toner image to paper by bringing the paper into contact with the photoreceptor drum (15), the transfer drum (11) having a dielectric layer (28), a semi-conductive layer (27) and a conductive layer (26) laminated in this order from the paper side, a power source which is connected to the conductive layer so as to apply a predetermined voltage to the conductive layer (26), and a conductive roller (12) for pressing the paper against a surface of the dielectric layer (28) so as to produce a potential difference between the conductive layer (26) and the paper (P). The potential difference induces charges of the same polarity as the voltage applied to the conductive layer on the surface of the dielectric layer, and charges of the opposite polarity on a back surface of the paper pressed against the surface of the dielectric layer. Thus, the paper electrostatically adheres to the transfer drum (11) in a satisfactory manner. Moreover, unlike charging by atmospheric discharge, since the surface potential of the transfer drum is stable, it is possible to prevent unsatisfactory transfers and improve the image quality.

Abstract: A detailed genetic map on human chromosome 11 was prepared. Then, a commonly deleted region on the chromosome in the tumor tissues of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 was identified. Further, by the linkage analysis on a family line with this disease, a gene causative of this disease was localized. A gene present in the region common to these observations was cloned and the structure of this gene was determined. Because a protein coded by this DNA is homologous with those of transcriptional factors, it is expected that the above-mentioned gene may be a novel tumor suppressor gene. Further, it is also expected that the above-mentioned gene and a protein coded for thereby may be useful in preparations of a remedy for cancer and a diagnostic drug for cancer.

IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 1995-07-11
Abstract: An apparatus[10] for measuring the thickness of a moving film[13]. The apparatus[10] utilizes a low coherence light source[12] to generate a light signal that is directed at the film[13] with the aid of an optical fiber[14] and lens[15]. A portion of the light reflected from the film[13] is collected and coupled to an interferometer[18] to generate an interference light signal comprising the coherent sum of first and second light signals. The first light signal comprises the collected light signal, and the second light signal comprises the collected light signal offset in time with respect to the first light signal. The offset is varied in time and the interference light signal intensity is measured for the various time offsets. In the preferred embodiment, the numerical aperture of the light focused onto the film[13] may be varied to optimize the light collection for the specific properties of the carriage system used to move the film[13]. The offset is preferably measured by adding a reference light signal[135] with the collected light signal and then detecting the interference pattern generated in the interferometer by the reference light signal.

Title: Vehicle headlight
Inventor: BERTLING JOHANNES DR DIPL-ING
IPC: B60Q1/04
Filed: 1995-09-30
Abstract: A headlamp has an lamp insert(10) which is supported so that it can tilt in a section (26) of a mounting(12) at its front edge. At a distance from its support point there is an adjuster. The section surrounds the insert and there is an elastically deformable ring (29) gripping it. This ring allows the tilting support to be free of play. By means of this ring, any changes in distance caused by the tilting of the insert are compensated for, making for simple overall construction. The insert itself is tubular, just like the surrounding section of the mounting. The insert is secured against rotation about the optical axis.

Abstract: The system has a number of network nodes each with a fixed internal clock. Each node has at least one device to adapt an incoming signal to the internal clock of the node by positive or negative stuffing. Each node has at least one memory device. These store useful information bytes of a frame of the incoming signal with the internal clock of a previous node and output the information byte with the clock of the node. The stuffing device has a first device to count incoming and outgoing frame bytes and to calculate from that, at fixed time points, a difference value and a change in that value. The stuffing device has a further device to calculate an offset value dependent on the change in difference value and a correction factor. The stuffing device also has an arrangement for comparing, at fixed times, the offset value with upper and lower threshold values. Positive stuffing is triggered when the offset value is less than the lower threshold, and negative stuffing when the offset value exceeds it.

Abstract: The transponder detector has an antenna for radiating a power signal to an identification transponder of an unidentified type and for reading a response signal characteristic from the transponder. A plurality of power signal and response signal characteristic parameters associated with transponder communication protocols are serially selected and implemented while an analysis of the response signal characteristic is carried out to determine whether the response signal characteristic matches the selected parameters and to produce an identification match signal. The result of the match signal is displayed as text identifying the transponder make and model number on an LCD display, in the case of a hand-held universal transponder detector. The device is particularly useful for confirming the presence and type of transponders embedded in the head of keys.

Abstract: An assist device for use in an electric vehicle (1) capable of one or more of the following: allowing a driver to walk the electric vehicle (1) in power assistance at an extremely slow speed, preventing a sudden start of the vehicle (1), allowing the driver to monitor an insufficient capacity of a storage battery (14) even with the main switch (10) of the vehicle (1) turned off, and determining an accurate charge capacity by eliminating the surface charge state of the storage battery (14) when a charging operation ends. 
     According to the present invention, firstly, the running motor of the vehicle (1) is shifted to an extremely slow speed mode when the driver's dismounting is sensed and when the closed state of an accelerator (6a) is sensed. Secondly, a sudden start is prevented when the main switch (10) is turned on with the accelerator (6a) opened. Thirdly, the reverse rotary motion of the running motor (7) is transmitted to a stand mechanism via a one-way clutch. Fourthly, the operation of both a remaining capacity meter and insufficient capacity alarm means are continuously operated for a predetermined amount of time after turn-off of the main switch (10) by means of timer means that is activated by the turn-off of the main switch when the storage battery (14) suffers an insufficient capacity. Fifthly, the capacity of the storage battery (14) is determined after the surface charge of the storage battery is eliminated when a charging operation is complete.

Abstract: For low velocity retraction of a disc drive actuator during a parking operation, a system comprising a voltage generator circuit (84) generates a plurality of discrete dc voltage levels, a timing circuit (86) provides a series of timing pulses, and a selection circuit (88) responsive to the voltage generator and timing circuit outputs a voltage profile of increasing voltage steps from the voltage levels and the timing pulses. The voltage profile is provided to a driver circuit (54) that drives a voice coil motor (36,20) which, in turn, positions the actuator (30) with respect to the discs (16) of the disc drive. The application of the voltage profile during the parking operation causes the driver circuit (54) to act as a voltage source for the voice coil motor (36,20). External bias forces upon the actuator tending to force the actuator towards the park position generate a back EMF in the coil (36) opposing the voltage source of the driver circuit (54) and the motion of the actuator (30) towards the park position. The coil (36) is thus velocity limited and the voltage profile is selected to bring the actuator (70) to the park position at a terminal velocity sufficiently decreased as to generate acoustic noise below predetermined, acceptable limits.
