Abstract: A thermal apparatus (1) for fusing print dye onto print media (215) in a hard copy machine is disclosed. A medium bearing a "wet" image, such as text or graphics in ink or toner, is fed by the machine into the apparatus. Sensing the presence of the medium, the heater element(s) (5, 23) of the apparatus are activated. As the medium is fed into the apparatus (1, 7), the toner or ink is at least partially fixed to the medium prior to its leading edge reaching (9) transport rollers (11, 13) of the apparatus which grab the medium in a nip (12) to continue its path (A) through and out of the apparatus. The heater element(s) are turned off when the trailing edge of the medium is sensed. The heater (5) is a laminated device. Grooves (213) (213) are provided on the face of the heater (211) proximate the medium path in order to improve heat transfer from the device to fix the image.

Abstract: A hybrid deinterlace mechanism employs motion detection as a precursor to select the value for each missing pixel of a deinterlaced frame, which is generated by using four consecutive fields to produce a motion detection map that is subsequently coupled to a deinterlacer, together with a selected two of the four consecutive fields. These two selected fields and the motion map are sufficient for the deinterlacer to completely characterize the resulting deinterlaced frame. The deinterlacer switches between vertical interpolation and merging based upon motion. Motion is detected by applying a logic OR operation to respective even and odd field binary motion detection signals. In the absence of motion, the pixel values of an odd field and its immediately succeeding even field are merged. On the other hand, if motion is detected, vertical interpolation is carried out for the even field, by a linear combination of immediately adjacent pixels, respectively above and below the pixel of interest.

Abstract: A heat shrinkable shielding tube and a manufacturing method thereof employ an electromagnetic wave shielding material inserted into a heat shrinkable tube and adhered lengthwise thereto. A metallized fabric electromagnetic shielding material may be adhesively bonded inside the tube with a longitudinal stripe of adhesive. The longitudinal edges of the electromagnetic shielding material overlap to prevent electromagnetic leakage. Electrical wires or cables to be shielded are inserted into the shielding tube, and upon heating, the tube tightly engages the wires and provides effective electromagnetic shielding. The heat shrinkable shielding tube provides an outstanding effect in shielding electromagnetic wave radiation, and because the construction and manufacturing processes are flexible, it can also significantly reduce production costs.

Abstract: A test sample card has a fluid passage network provided on both sides of the card to provide for maximum separation distance between adjacent growth wells. The card also has cored sections along its periphery adjacent the wells, which improve the flow of plastic during the molding of the cards. The cored sections control the formation of knit lines in the surface of the card and eliminate knit lines from forming that could potentially bridge adjacent wells. These features, singly and together, combine to produce a card that is essentially immune to cross-talk between adjacent wells, yet permit a greater number of wells in a card of given dimensions. 
     Improved bubble trap features are also provided for the card, including a bubble trap passage having a restriction formed therein. The restriction prevents air bubbles in the bubble trap from migrating back to the growth wells.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de déterminer si une fonction est assignée à des bits non réservés d'un champ, de façon à faciliter l'adaptation de la station mobile à des fonctions perfectionnées. Cette détermination permet aux stations mobiles de première génération d'exécuter des fonctions perfectionnées à l'aide de bits qui sont initialement réservés, mais peuvent être attribués à un service ou à une fonction des générations de protocoles plus récentes. Un élément indiquant si une fonction a été attribuée aux bits réservés peut être envoyé sur un canal de diffusion par une information d'utilisation. Si celle-ci indique qu'aucun service, tel que commande d'alimentation, calage temporel ou services de messages brefs, n'a été attribué aux bits réservés, ceux-ci peuvent être utilisés pour perfectionner les fonctions, telles qu'égalisation et synchronisation. Le procédé et le dispositif permettent en outre d'améliorer le décodage de la zone codée de phase supertrame/retour d'information par canal paquets (CSFP/PCF). Comme l'information de phase supertrame (SFP) est connue après observation des bits restants de début et de fin de l'information de diffusion, le nombre de mots de code possibles dans la zone CSFP/PCF peut être réduit dans le processus de décodage. La longueur d'un mot de code à décoder peut en outre être réduite sur la base d'une information d'utilisation envoyée sur le canal de diffusion, qui indique si un bit réservé de la zone CSFP/PCF est encore réservé. Plus généralement, le code complet de n'importe quel mot codé de canal, pas nécessairement d'un paquet de données, peut être efficacement être réduit sur la base de la connaissance d'une information contenue dans le mot de code. Les performances de décodage sont améliorées par raccourcissement des mots de code à décoder, les mots de code courts étant moins sujets aux erreurs de bits.

La configuration de l'enroulement crée un champ magnétique bipolaire autour d'un entrefer rotor/stator (15), qui est sinusoïdal et peut être dirigé vers tout emplacement situé le long de l'entrefer (15). Cette configuration limite au maximum les discontinuités ou les modifications brutales du flux de commande dans l'entrefer, ce qui, par conséquent, limite les pertes au niveau du rotor. L'entrefer (g1) entre les dents du stator est également diminué au maximum, de manière à répartir régulièrement le flux le long de l'entrefer rotor/stator (15). On peut utiliser davantage de phases et plus ou moins d'encoches de stator.
