Abstract: In a line printer, a rotation shaft (9) of a platen (2) is utilized as a fulcrum of a head-up lever (4). The head-up lever (4) and a bearingof the platen (2) are made in an integral form. As a result, the total number of parts of the line printer can be reduced and total number of assembling steps can also be reduced. Positioning of a print head (3) with respect to the platen (2) is achieved by establishing a precise engagement between a first pin (20) integrally formed on the edge portion of the print head (3) and a first guide groove (18) formed on a side wall (7,8) of a frame. As a consequence, the correct positioning of the print head can be performed with respect to the platen (2). On the other hand, a second pin (21) of the print head is journalled under a floating condition by a scond guide groove (19) of the side (7,8) wall of the frame (1). This second pin (21) functions as a free fulcrum when the pressure contact of the print head (3) is released. As described above, play is formed at the free fulcrum of the head-up lever, so that distortion of parts and machining tolerance can be accommodated. Since the energizing force given to the print head (3) is performed by employing only one elastic member (14) around a centre of the platen (2) in the lengthwise direction, a so-called floating effect may be produced and eccentric abutting of the print head (3) and platen (2) can be avoided. The print head (3) is detachably assembled to the frame (1). The assembled print head (3) is held by a rear plate (12) which is similarly detachably engaged with the frame (1). The elastic member (14) is integrally assembled into the print head (2) together with the lock lever (17). As a result, the print head (3) can be simply assembled and can be easily replaced. Since the lock lever (17) is provided in order that the rear plate (12) is not easily accidentally removed, it is more possible that the print head is prevented from being dismounted when this is not desired.

Abstract: A probe, a method of making the same, and a manner of using the same, suitable for "Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) like" electrical characterization measurements on semiconductor substrates having overlying dielectric layers is disclosed. The probe comprises an electrically conductive probe needle, the needle having a rounded tip end of a first radius, the rounded tip end further being suitable for undergoing a plastic deformation. The needle is positioned above the dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate and the needle tip forced down onto the smooth surface of the dielectric layer in a controlled manner for causing the needle tip to undergo a plastic deformation in which an outer portion of the rounded tip end is maintained at the first radius and an inner portion of the rounded tip end is increased to a second radius, the second radius being larger than the first. During use, the plastically deformed, conditioned probe optimally achieves a highly conformal, intimate, and well-defined contact area needed for accurate electrical characterization measurements, wherein the silicon elastically conforms to the conditioned probe in contrast to similar electrical characterization measurement techniques involving the elastic conformation of a probe tip to the silicon.

Abstract: A signal transmitting apparatus using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing includes an inverse fast Fourier transform circuit for converting a digital information signal into a first multi-value QAM modulation signal. A guard interval setting circuit is operative for periodically generating a guard interval signal equal to a time segment of the first multi-value QAM modulation signal, and inserting the guard interval signal into the first multi-value QAM modulation signal to convert the first multi-value QAM modulation signal into a second multi-value QAM modulation signal. A clock signal generating circuit is operative for generating a first clock signal which drives the inverse fast Fourier transform circuit, and generating a second clock signal which drive the guard interval setting circuit. The inverse fast Fourier transform circuit is operative for generating a pilot signal which corresponds to a given-order carrier, and adding the pilot signal to the first multi-value QAM modulation signal. The pilot signal has a predetermined frequency and an angle modulation component which remains constant over a plurality of symbol periods. The pilot signal corresponding to a given integer times its wavelength is present in a guard interval occupied by the guard interval signal in the second multi-value QAM modulation signal. The pilot signal is continuously present over the guard interval and another interval.

Abstract: Audio process units for controllably mixing L-channel and R-channel portions of a CD/CD-I audio signal each use a single attenuator (or digital multiplier) for developing L*G(LL), L*G(LR), R*G(RR) and R*G(RL) responses to L-channel and R-channel input signals through time sharing processing. This reduces the amount of digital hardware required for developing these responses. The L*G(LL) and R*G(RL) responses are additively combined to generate an L-channel output signal; and the R*G(RL) and R*G(RR) responses are additively combined to generate an R-channel output signal. L*G(LL), L*G(LR), R*G(RL) and R*G(RR) responses are successively generated on a cyclic basis in one type of such audio process unit, using a successive-shift-and-selective-accumulation digital multiplication procedure to generate each response. L*G(LR), L*G(LL), R*G(RL) and R*G(RR) responses are successively generated on a cyclic basis in an alternative type of such audio process unit, using a successive-shift-and-selective-accumulation digital multiplication procedure to generate each response.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a communications signal transmitter and apparatus for carrying out the method. The method includes the steps of receiving a communications signal; sensing a signal strength of the received communications signal, the signal strength being indicative of the current user demand; adjusting an output of a power supply that supplies operating power to a communications signal transmitter amplifier in accordance with the sensed signal strength so as to increase the output of the power supply when the sensed signal strength increases and to decrease the output of the power supply when the sensed signal strength decreases; and amplifying the received communications signal with the communications signal transmitter amplifier. The step of sensing may include a step of subtracting a noise component from the received communications signal. The step of adjusting includes the steps of setting the duty cycle of a pulse width modulated signal as a function of at least the sensed signal strength; driving a switch with the pulse width modulated signal to chop a primary DC source into an AC signal; and synchronously rectifying the AC signal with an inverse of the pulse width modulated signal to provide a DC output from the power supply for supplying the operating power to the communications signal transmitter amplifier. In a presently preferred embodiment of this invention the switch is comprised of a field effect transistor (FET) that is coupled between the primary DC power source and a synchronous rectifier. In this embodiment the step of driving includes a step of employing a boot strap capacitor that is coupled between the synchronously rectified AC signal and a predetermined bias potential to enhance the pulse width modulated signal that is applied to a gate of the FET.

Abstract: An image signal processing apparatus is provided comprising an image sensor (1) for outputting image data, a sample hold circuit (2) for holding the image data output. The sample hold circuit outputs an analog signal to an AD converter (3) for converting the analog signal to a digital signal. A system clock generator (6a) generates a first clock signal (φ1), while a timing generator (4) controls the hold timing of the sample hold circuit (2) according to the first clock (φ1). A second system clock generator (6b) generates a second system clock signal (φ2) having a different phase from the phase of the first clock signal (φ1). An AD conversion clock generator (5) controls the conversion timing of AD converter (3) according to the second clock (φ2). Since two different clocks are used, the hold timing does not overlap with a conversion timing. Therefore, the reading of the image data becomes stable and misreading can be reduced, where the quality of an image is improved.
