Patent EP-0503903-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAKAI MASAHIKO
IPC: G06K15/02
Filed: 1992-03-11
Abstract: Disclosed are recording method and apparatus for inputting and recording information in page units, developing the recorded information into bit-map information and recording the bit-map information. The bit-map information is corrected, before it is compressed by a compressing circuit (6), in dependence upon the compression ratio of the compressing circuit. The corrected bit-map information is then compressed by the compressing circuit and stored in a pixel memory (5). Recording is performed upon expanding the bit-map information stored in the pixel memory. As a result, the blurring of characters and fine lines by compression can be prevented. Further, it is determined whether the recording information is text data or image data. By compressing the text data at a compression ratio smaller than that used to compress the image data, a decline in the image quality of the text data recorded is prevented.

Abstract: An improved quiet impact printer mechanism for use with a typewriter or printer which includes a print hammer (122) having a significant mass for impacting a character pad (188) against an ink ribbon (184), paper (182) and a platen (180). A first embodiment has a drive means providing insignificant inertia through the use of a cam (166) driven by an inexpensive, low torque reversible motor (164) which is coupled to the hammer (122) through a cam follower (158). The cam arrangement may also propel the hammer (122) toward the platen (180) under a predetermined series of controlled velocities. A second embodiment of a printer mechanism, similar to that described above, includes a rotary member (366) driven by a motor link, coupled to the print hammer (322) for moving the hammer (322) toward and away from the platen. The motor link includes an acoustic noise reducing means.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a laser (20) for generating a linearly polarized probe beam (22). The probe beam (22) is tightly focused (26) on the surface of a sample (12,14) to create a spread of angles of incidence. The reflected probe beam is passed through a quarter-wave plate (42) and linear polarizer (44) before impinging on a quad cell photodetector (40). The output signals from the photodetector (40) represent an integration of the intensity of individual rays having various angles of incidence. By taking the difference between the sums of the output signals of diametrically opposed quadrants, a processor (40) can obtain a value which varies linearly with film thickness for very thin films. The apparatus can be used in conjunction with other prior devices to enhance sensitivity for measurement of thicker films. Compensating measurements for assymetry in the beam (22) can be made by varying the orientation of the linear polarizer (44) and measuring the full beam intensity with another quad cell detector (30) before reflection of the beam (22).

Abstract: A method for preparing a PS plate comprises the steps of treating an anodized aluminum plate with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate having a pH ranging from 10 to 13 as determined at 25 °C, then treating the aluminum plate with an aqueous solution of an acid having a pH ranging from 1 to 6 and applying a light-sensitive layer onto the aluminum plate thus treated. The aluminum substrate of the PS plate is only slightly dissolved in an alkaline developer and this accordingly prevents the formation of insoluble compounds or sludge effectively, during development.

Abstract: A generalized applications programming interface (API) is inserted as a separate level above the API's of the operating system in a data processing system and used to invoke a group of operating system API's having similar functions, such as the starting of sessions, processes and threads in the OS/2Ú operating system. The generalized API includes at least one parameter which contains coded information specifying a plurality of parameters which must be specified to invoke an operating system level API. The function of decoding the parameter relieves the programmer of the burden of separately specifying each parameter and flag of the operating system level API to be invoked. The use of a generalized API further relieves the programmer from the burden of detailed knowledge of the plural operating system level API's of the group and renders them transparent. Since the generalized API is arranged to output code to invoke the operating system level API's, substitution of code to be output allows application of the generalized API to different operating systems. Accordingly, the generalized code in an application program, permitted by the generalized API, permits programs to be developed which are not operating system specific and which can then be ported between data processors regardless of the operating system existing on such data processors.

Abstract: The electronic read-only memory has an inner housing (1) and an outer housing (10). The inner housing (1) is located on a secondary circuit board (2), from the edge of which, protruding laterally from the inner housing (1), there protrude contact elements (5), for establishing a plug-type contact with contact counter elements (23), which are located on a circuit board (24) of a device which is to be equipped with the read-only memory. The outer housing (10) has lateral, outwardly open slot spaces (19, 20), which protectively receive the contact elements. Due to the fact that the free end of the contact elements (5) is set back from the edge of the opening of the cap-shaped outer housing (10), the contact elements (5) are protected against harmful contact. The fitting of a device with the read-only memory is also greatly simplified, since numerous contact elements can be brought into reliable contact with the contact counter elements by a simple plugging movement. <IMAGE>

IPC: C22C1/05
Filed: 1993-12-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a new process for binder phase enrichment. The process combines binder phase enrichment by dissolution of cubic phase with the requirements that cause formation of stratified layers, resulting in a unique structure. The new structure is characterised by, in comparison with the ones previously known, deeper stratified layers and less maximum binder phase enrichment. The possibility of combining dissolution of the cubic phase with formation of stratified layers offers new possibilities to optimize the properties of tungsten carbide based cemented carbides for cutting tools. 
     The new process offers possibilities to combine the two types of gradients. The dissolution of cubic phase moves the zone with maximum amount of stratified binder phase from the surface to a zone close to and below the dissolution front. By controlling the depth of dissolution, the interstitial balance and the cooling rate a cemented carbide with a unique combination of toughness and plastic deformation resistance can be achieved.

Abstract: Processing apparatus are well-known in which photosensitive materials are pass from one chamber to another during processing. In some arrangement, the material passes from one chamber to another through a wall structure dividing the two chambers. However, there may leakage of processing solutions between adjacent chambers through the wall structure. Described herein is an improved through-wall structure (100) which reduces the amount of leakage. The wall structure (100) comprises upper and lower wall portions (20, 22), and a pair of sidewall portions which define a passage opening. A pair of parallel contacting rollers (28, 30) are placed into the opening to guide the material from one chamber to the next. The rollers (28, 30) have a compliant sublayer (37, 39) which elastically deforms in a radial direction and an outer layer (41, 43) made from a material having a low coefficient of friction to allow the rollers (28, 30) to be easily rotatably driven and providing a fluid seal between the rollers (28, 30).
