Abstract: An image corresponding to a single sheet of recording paper is divided into three decomposed images(1,2,3) each having the substantially same expansion as that of the image, and one of the decomposed images is recorded on the recording paper while a drum is rotated and the recording head is continuously moved at a distance corresponding to a width of the recording head. Subsequently, other decomposed images are successively recorded on the recording paper. Thus, recording of the respective decomposed image is performed at a predetermined time interval kept between two continuous recordings. The foregoing time interval can be used as a time required for ink permeation into the recording medium.

Abstract: 2-dimensional image data is produced from multidimensional image data. Pixels in 2-dimensional areas are coloured in response to calculated lighting characteristics representing the colour of said areas. Pixel colours are stored in a look-up table addressed by combining a colour value selecting representing colour hue and a level value representing another characteristic of the selected colour. Values within a specific colour or ramp initially vary to increase luminance and latterly vary to decrease saturation. Luminance may vary non-linearly to provide gamma correction. Diffuse and specular reflection can be represented in a single level value.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing licensor changeable limits on shared software usage without the licensor having access to the system on which the shared software is running. An encrypted numerical limit value is embedded in the licensed software (program); when the program is executed ("accessed"), as a first step, the program decrypts the limit value (204) and compares it to the number of users currently accessing the shared program (210). If the number of users is less than the limit, then access is allowed (214). If the number of users is equal to (or greater than) the limit, then access is denied (212).

Abstract: A 3-axis stabilised spacecraft (10) has primary and secondary attitude control thruster strings (A,B,38,40,42) thrusters (2A to 7A and 2B to 7B) in each string exerting roll, pitch and yaw torques. The primary and secondary thruster strings are similar and exhibit paired thrusters oriented on opposite sides of an East/West axis passing through the spacecraft. A stationkeeping input (36) energizes the North or South thrusters (6B,7B,6A,7A) to cause a manoeuvre of the spacecraft along a North/South axis, the thrusters effecting a perturbation in the spacecraft's attitude. An attitude control system energizes at least a primary string thruster (2A to 5A) to counteract the attitude perturbation, the thruster being oriented so as also to cause a change in the spacecraft's East/West orbit velocity. A processor (30) is responsive to the change in East/West orbit velocity reaching a deadband limit value to deactivate the primary string thruster and to activate the secondary string thruster (2B to 5B) which exhibits a similar torque effect on the spacecraft as the primary string thruster but is oriented so as to cause an oppositely directed change in the spacecraft's East/West orbit velocity. The spacecraft further includes a system for enabling all primary and secondary thrusters that exert a force in one direction (i.e. East or West) for attitude control during limit cycling and during the North or South stationkeeping manoeuvre. The like directed thrusters both provide attitude stabilization and cause a predetermined change in orbit velocity.

Abstract: A durable, single action, variable displacement vane pump capable of undervane pumping, components thereof, and pressure balancing method. The pump comprises a cylindrical barstock rotor member having large diameter journal ends and central vane slots uniformly spaced therearound. The vane slots are elongate and have a central vane-supporting portion of maximum depth surrounded at each end by extension portions having depths which decrease axially to the surface of rotor member. The vaned rotor is rotatably supported within a unitary cam member having opposed faces and a circular bore therethrough forming a cam chamber having a continuous interior circular cam surface. The cam member is pivotably supported relative to the rotor to adjust the displacement capacity of the pump by means of a fluid pressure-powered adjustment system. The vane slot extensions in the rotor project outwardly beyond the cam chamber. An opposed pair of manifold bearings rotatably support the journal ends of the rotor and overlap the vane slot extensions to admit fluid to expanding vane bucket areas of the rotating vaned rotor and also into the vane slot extensions and undervane areas for pressure balancing purposes. The vane slot extensions also permit discharge of pressurized fluid from contracting vane bucket areas, and from undervane areas as the vanes are depressed into the vane slots, to increase the displacement capacity of the pump. Fluid passages and pressures within the pump are arranged to balance forces acting on various parts to reduce stress, improve sealing, and permit sharing of a fluid pressure source.

Abstract: A device for recording and/or reproducing or transmitting and/or receiving compressed data includes decoding circuits (31 to 33) for performing expansion during the compression process. An error produced during the compression process is calculated by an input/output error calculating circuit (41) from the input data and data compressed by adaptive bit allocation encoding circuits (22 to 24) and expanded by the decoding circuits (31 to 33), and bit allocation is again calculated on the basis of the error produced during the compression process, with the input data remaining as it is. The bit allocation re-calculated in this manner is quantized by the encoding circuits (22 to 24). Also, data annulling the error produced during the compression process is formulated by the input/output error calculating circuit (41) and summed to the input signals for subsequent quantization. Compressed signals suited to the input signals may be obtained even if the model for the auditory sense or constants occasionally employed are not suited to the input signals, or if the input signals are unanticipated signals.

Abstract: A telephone line interface circuit has a transmit path for coupling to a telephone line and a receive path for coupling to the telephone line (2). The transmit path includes a first amplifier (A1) having an output for coupling to the line (2), a first input for receiving a signal to be transmitted and a second input for receiving a first sum signal made up of a.c. and d.c. line voltage signals plus a.c and d.c. line current signals. The feedback loop thus described has sufficient loop gain to constrain the first sum signal to be substantially equal to the signal at the first input. The receive path includes a second amplifier (A4) having a first input for receiving the first sum signal, a second input for receiving substantially twice a second sum signal made up of the a.c. and d.c. line current signals plus the d.c. line voltage signal. and an output for providing receive signals. The circuit thus presents a predetermined impedance to the telephone line (2) and also provides hybrid balance when the impedance of the line (2) is substantially equal to the predetermined impedance.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image matching method which allows non-linear image positional shifts to be corrected on a real time basis, and an economical product testing system using this method. A two dimensional test image, consisting of pixels arranged as a matrix of bits distributed in both the vertical direction and the horizontal scanning direction, and an associated reference image are subjected to template matching at a cell matching arithmetic unit for each of line blocks consisting of a plurality of scan lines. The result of the template matching are quantitatively evaluated at an evaluation unit as being good or bad, and positional shifts are sequentially computed according to good evaluation results. Based on the positional shifts thus obtained, the comparative pixel addresses are accordingly corrected before the two images are compared at the comparator.
