Patent EP-0599083-A2 (EP)
IPC: F16K31/05
Filed: 1993-10-29
Abstract: A drive assembly having a motor and a gearbox (2) serves for the control and regulation of fittings or the like, for example valves, slide valves or flap valves. In this case, the gearbox (2) is arranged between the motor and such a fitting and contains at least one internal gear (4) with internal toothing (5) for the desired reduction. This internal gear (4) has, furthermore, toothing (7) on its exterior, which is so designed, that it can interact with a worm (8) of a handwheel drive. The internal gear (4) is in permanent engagement with this worm (8), and is therefore supported by self-locking on the stationary worm (8), during normal operation of the motor. On this worm shaft (9), a diaphragm-like disc (10) made of hard material is arranged to be firmly fixed in the axial direction, against which disc the worm shaft (9) can, however, be turned. This disc (10) is, furthermore, supported with its outer circumference likewise fixed in the axial direction and carries, on at least one side, at least one strain gauge (14), which is connected to an evaluation electronic unit. If the worm shaft (9) is displaced slightly in the axial direction, by means of changes in the torques and reaction forces in the gearbox because of corresponding changes in the supporting forces of the internal gear (4), as a consequence of play in the micrometer range, a corresponding measured value change is yielded via the strain gauges (14). <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the invention, a structure for advancing print media (90) through a print zone of a printer, the structure being subjected to heat during operation of the printer, gives good traction between the structure and the print media (90). The structure provides a high accuracy print media drive for open loop printing. Traction is maintained through a range of temperatures, for a range of print media drag forces and over a long period of use. The structure includes one or more pinch rollers (102), one or more drive rollers (100) against which a corresponding pinch roller (102) exerts a contact force and a means for rotating the one or more drive rollers (100). Each drive roller (100) is coated with a material that provides good traction over a range of operational temperatures without requiring an undesirably large contact force between the pinch roller (102) and drive roller (100) that may result in visible surface markings being formed on the print media (90). Good traction is maintained over a range of print media drag forces throughout the life of the printer. Each drive roller (102) can be coated with a metal thermal spray. The metal thermal spray can be a plasma sprayed tungsten carbide. The spray can include a bonding agent to enhance the bonding between the coating and the drive roller (102). The structure according to the invention can advantageously be used with a thermal inkjet printer and, in particular, with thermal inkjet printers in which the resolution of the printer is greater than 200 dots/inch.

Abstract: A DMD display system includes an inverse gamma look-up-table (50) for converting raster scanned, gamma corrected video data of 8 bits to 12 bits inverse gamma data with 8 most significant bits (msb) and 4 least significant bits (lsb). The 8 msb are coupled to the micromirror of the DMD display (10) and the four lsb are delayed and halved such that one half of the lsb is added to the next pixel in the horizontal scan and one-half of the lsb is added to the next vertical pixel one line length delayed due to degamma. For each input intensity in, the output intensity in will be displayed on the DMD device. If the degamma was perfect and there was no lack of bits, the value displayed in the DMD would be some other value N1. We compute the difference between N and N1 and distribute this difference (error) among the neighboring pixels. The error can be distributed among the neighbors in various ways. One implementation is shown in Fig. 4. A further advantage of the present invention is that the defect compensation can be performed as part of this algorithm. For this, the DMD coordinates of defective pixels need to be known and the error diffusion needs to be modified to account for the fact that at those locations the pixel displays either bright (stuck ON), dark (stuck OFF) or neutral (flat pixel).

Abstract: A ceramic circuit board having an external resistor prepared by co-firing a low-bubbling resistor and a glass overcoat in which Ag is used in an amount of 0 to less than 1% by weight with a glass having a deformation temperature not higher than that of the glass of the overcoat in the low-bubbling resistor and a glass of CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂-B₂O₃ system is used in the overcoat. Also, in the low-bubbling resistor, Ag may be contained in an amount of at least 1% by weight in combination with a glass having such a deformation temperature that this deformation temperature minus 10 °C is not higher than that of the glass of the overcoat. Addition of Ag to the resistor can render the deformation temperature of the glass of the resistance paste substantially equal to or less than that of the glass of the overcoat, thereby enabling further reduction of the amount of bubbles remaining in the resistor after firing. The low-bubbling resistor not only enables accurate adjustment of the resistivity by laser trimming but also enables stable maintenance of the resistance value after the trimming.

Abstract: In a display device a magnetic field is detected by a DC biased bridge circuit (1,2,3,4) having at least one resistor (1,2,3,4) whose value depends on the magnetic field. The resistor (1,2,3,4) is of the type which makes that the characteristic of magnetic field versus the DC output voltage of the bridge, has an undetermined sign. To circumvent this problem, a so-called inversion coil (5) is used which sends alternating magnetic pulses to the resistor. As a result, the bridge provides an AC signal whose curve is representative of the value and the sign of the magnetic fields under test. This AC signal is detected in a switching circuit (9), synchronous with the magnetic pulses, to produce an appropriate detection signal. The detection signal can be applied to compensation coils (15) via an amplifier (16) for compensating the magnetic field under test.

Abstract: An image frame to be printed is divided into a plurality of portions, and the portions are photometrically measured. Photometric data necessary to determine an exposure condition is selected. Weighting factors, which are to be applied respectively to selected photometric data, to data obtained from first data obtained by photometric measuring of a plurality of films in accordance with film type identifying codes, and to data determined from second data obtained by photometric measuring of image frames to be printed which are recorded on a single film, are set based on the first data. The exposure condition is determined based on a value obtained by addition of respective weighted data. Hence, influence of color failure can be eliminated, and variations in film characteristics due to deterioration over time and the like can be eliminated. Accordingly, high-quality prints are thereby consistently obtained.

Abstract: A unitary housing made from an acoustically-opaque, resilient material is employed with a microphone element to form a directional microphone assembly. The microphone element includes a diaphragm which moves under the influence of sound pressure applied to its opposite surfaces to generate an electrical signal which is proportional to the differential sound pressure. The unitary housing includes a first acoustically-transparent channel for communicating sound pressure from a first port in the unitary housing to one surface of the diaphragm, and a second acoustically-transparent channel for communicating sound pressure from a second port in the unitary housing to the other surface of the diaphragm. An illustrative embodiment, the unitary housing comprises a unitary small "boot" having a surface including the ports for coupling acoustic energy to the acoustic channels, an inner chamber for housing the microphone element and a predetermined opening in a surface of the boot for accessing the inner chamber. The microphone element is inserted into the inner chamber via the predetermined opening, which is dimensioned to seal itself around the inserted microphone element so that acoustic energy cannot leak out of or into the inner chamber through the opening. The distance between the ports is relatively short so as not to change the directivity pattern or frequency response of the resulting microphone assembly. In the illustrative embodiment of the invention, the unitary housing is molded from Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer with Polypropylene which is a rubber-like material that is resilient. It forms an excellent seal around the perimeter of the microphone element so that sound pressure in one channel does not leak into the other. Moreover, the rubber-like material forms a seal with the surface of sound-input equipment where it is housed.
