Abstract: In order to provide rotating position detecting device
which is capable of detecting a rotating position with high
accuracy even if there exists variation in the air gap, and
thereby capable of widening a detectable range of the air
gap, a position of the irregularity on the detected
rotating body (13) is converted into a rectangular wave-form
electric signal, and a rotating position of the
detected rotating body (13) is detected based on a
building-up signal or a falling signal of the rectangular
wave-form, in a rotating position detecting device (10)
comprising a magneto-electric converter element (11) for
output an electric signal corresponding to a magnetic
intensity, a magnet (12) for generating a magnetic field,
and a detected rotating body (13) made of a magnetic
material having irregularity.

Abstract: A planar workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer is
polished and cleaned by polishing a surface of the planar
workpiece by pressing the surface against a first abrasive
member which is rotating about its own axis, under a
predetermined pressure, and scrubbing the surface with a second
abrasive member of a non-woven cloth, a cloth other than a non-woven
cloth, or a wiping cloth of ultrafine fibers, which is
held against the surface, while scrubbing the surface with the
second abrasive member. The surface of the planar workpiece is
pressed against the second abrasive member under a
predetermined pressure while the second abrasive member is
making circulatory translational motion along a predetermined

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of slicing a semiconductor
ingot in which the ingot is pressed against a moving wire.
A thinner portion of the wire is used at the beginning of
slicing to cut a portion of the ingot where the cutting
length is shorter than a predetermined length, and a thicker
portion of the wire is used when the cutting length becomes
longer than the predetermined length. Subsequently, a
thinner portion of the wire is used when the slicing
approaches to the end and the cutting length becomes shorter
than a predetermined length. A portion of the wire used in
previous slicing is used as the thinner portion.
Alternatively, the thinner portion is formed through use of a
die. The slicing method makes it possible to cut the ingot
into a plurality of wafers having a uniform thickness.

surfaces (170b, 171b), wherein the first cam surface
(170b) causes the fourth member (17) to move in the
direction of the first axis (X) toward the
disengagement position during rotation of the fourth
member (17) in the third direction, and wherein the
second cam surface (171b) causes the fourth member (17)
to move in the direction of the first axis (X) toward
the disengagement position during rotation of the
second member (16) in the second direction (D2). The 
fourth member (17) also includes a positioning surface

IPC: H04N19/85
Filed: 1998-04-02
Abstract: An encoding apparatus includes a selector (8) for
periodically selecting fields of an interlaced video
signal to be converted to respective progressive scanning
frames, by a scanning converter (1) which doubles the
number of scanning lines per field. The apparatus encodes
these frames by intra-frame encoding or unidirectional
predictive encoding using preceding ones of the frames,
and encodes the remaining fields of the video signal by
bidirectional prediction using preceding and succeeding
ones of the progressive scanning frames for reference.
The resultant code can be decoded by an inverse process
to recover the interlaced video signal, or each decoded
field can be converted to a progressive scanning frame to
thereby enable output of a progressive scanning video
signal. Enhanced accuracy of motion prediction for
inter-frame encoding can thereby be achieved, and
generation of encoded aliasing components suppressed,
since all reference pictures are progressive scanning
frames rather than pairs of fields constituting
interlaced scanning frames.

Abstract: A system for controlling color plane image

marks (100) directly on a belt (22) which carries and/or
drives media sheets (12) past plural developer modules
(28,30,32,34) in a process direction. A pair of sensors
(50,50') are positioned adjacent the belt (22) to enable
a sensing of the alignment marks (100). A controller
(60) causes each of a plurality of developer moduless

(102,104) on the belt (22), each set (102,104) including
plural marks that are positioned transverse to a print
process direction. The controller (60), in response to
the sensors' (50,50') detecting the printed marks (100)

pass beneath the sensors (50,50') and, from such
determined times, derives variations from expected sense
times of the marks (100) of each set. Thereafter, the
controller (60) adjusts data feed from color plane sub-images
to one or more laser scanners (42) in such a
