Patent EP-0851658-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WEBB STEVEN L
IPC: H04N1/19
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: A scanning system in which a speed mode is selected automatically. Multiple speed
modes are provided, with each speed mode resulting in a different range of signal-to-noise
ratios that is appropriate for a particular operator selected data type and resolution. In a
specific example embodiment, the speed modes are slow (432, 434, 436, 438), normal
(420, 422, 424) and fast (418). For the slow speed mode, the scanner scans in the Y-dimension
at an integral multiple of the requested resolution and averages pixels in an
integral multiple of adjacent lines. N-line averaging improves the signal-to-noise by a
factor of 1/(√N) at the expense of increasing the overall scan time by a factor of N. In the
normal speed mode, for low resolution color or gray scale scanning, exposure time per line
is reduced, thereby increasing scanning speed, and signal-to-noise is restored by merging
(adding) adjacent pixels. For binary scanning, fast scanning is implemented by reducing
exposure time to one third the normal exposure time, resulting in an acceptable lower
signal-to-noise but with a corresponding reduced scan time.

Abstract: A rotating cutting tool having a tool body, in which cutting inserts are clamped without auxiliary equipment and without the aid of movable clamping elements. To this end, the tool body is provided with receiving grooves, which narrow toward the circumferential surface. Moreover, the grooves narrow in the transverse direction, i.e. approximately in the direction of the axis of rotation of the tool body. This is achieved, for example, by means of an inclined base surface. Correspondingly shaped cutting elements, such as wedges, are pressed into the grooves from the side, and are clamped over a large area by means of a wedge action. The result is a reliable, particularly simple and precise mount for even sensitive cutting elements.
