Abstract: For the purpose of repeatedly dissolving the ink-bearing layer of an imaged printing form suitable for offset printing, a jet of a pressurised medium is directed obliquely onto the imaged surface of the printing form at an angle  alpha  which is less than 90 DEG  by means of a dissolving device. A relative movement between the printing form and the dissolving device is executed in such a way that the image/picture elements of the ink-bearing layer are removed over the entire surface of the printing form.

Abstract: A solid-state image pickup apparatus employing a frame interline transfer type solid-state image sensor. The operation of a driving circuit is controlled by a controller in such a manner that image pickup charges produced by photosensitive elements are drained in a charge draining section at a drain timing during a vertical blanking period, and image pickup charges produced by the photosensitive elements in an image pickup unit after lapse of a predetermined light exposure period since the drain timing are transferred to a vertical transfer register so as to be transferred by high speed transfer from the image pickup unit to a storage unit during the next vertical blanking period so that the image pickup charges are read out line-sequentially during the imaging period via horizontal transfer registers, for maintaining a constant start timing of the effective light exposure period and for producing video signals synchronized with the external synchronization signals.

     Unset settable building material is mixed with appropriate colouring and waterproofing agent and is applied to a wall of form an outer layer. The surface thereof is sponged to produce a brick like surface relief. The tooling is pressed into the outer layer to impress a pattern resembling brickwork. Unset material is sucked from the joint line space between adjacent cavities and the layer is allowed to set. Then, mortar is added to the joint line. Once the mortar has set, the final outer layer has a true brick finish that resembles a real brick wall. 
     The unset settable material can be applied to damaged or wood walls so that a true brick finish can be given to a wall in a quick, simple and cost effective manner.

Abstract: A system and process is provided which enables the dynamic mapping of texture to a variety of primitives, including complex primitives such as NURBS. The object, located in modeling coordinate (MC) space is parameterized to determine the parameter coordinate (PC) space associated with the object. This step is performed for an object and is readily applied to a variety of textures and views subsequently readied. Once the parameterization process has been performed, a mapping between the PC space and texture coordinate (TC) space is generated. This mapping, referred to herein as the τ mapping correlates the (s,t) coordinates of the PC space to the (u,v) coordinates of the TC space. The object is mapped from the MC space to the display coordinate (DC) and the τ mapping is then used to map the texture map onto the selected points of the object, such as the vertices of the object. Parameter interpolation is then performed to render the pixels of the object in the display space. A color composition process is executed to combine the colors of the texture map with the pixels of the object. Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, the granularity of the texture applied to the object can be controlled using such techniques as mip-map criteria, texture quality or, in the case of NURBS, NURBS approximation criteria.

Abstract: A thread joint for a tube which suppresses galling without deteriorating its sealing performance since a sliding distance L S  which expresses a quantity of spiral sliding of sealing portions relative to each other during a tightening period from the start of a contact between the sealing portions until shoulder portions abut each other satisfies the following relationship:           Sliding Distance L       S            ≦ - 0.0093 × (Tube Outer Diameter)       2        + 4.73 × (Tube Outer Diameter).           
     To shorten the sliding distance L S , the sealing portion of a box portion is formed shorter than the sealing portion of a pin portion. In this case, a circumferential groove may be formed to discharge a dope. Conversely, the sealing portion of the pin portion is formed shorter than the sealing portion of the box portion. In this case, a precedent-stage unthread portion whose inclination is smaller than that of the sealing portion of the pin portion is formed between a male thread and the sealing portion of the pin portion. In addition, tapers of the sealing portions of the pin portion and the box portion are set at 1/6 or larger, and/or, a distance where the sealing portion of the box portion (pin portion) is formed so as to contact a curve which is tangent to the sealing portion of the pin portion (box portion) is 1.45mm or larger.

Abstract: A piezoelectric transformer has a piezoelectric substrate (10) having first and second main faces (12,14). The substrate has first and second primary-side regions and a secondary-side region in its longitudinal direction in this order. The first region has a length of a half wavelength of stress distribution at the time of resonance in the longitudinal direction and has either positive or negative stress.

First and second electrodes (22,24) are respectively disposed on the first and second main faces in the first primary-side region, and the substrate between the first and second electrodes is polarized in the thicknesswise direction. Third and fourth electrodes (26,28) are respectively disposed on the first and second main faces in the second primary-side region, and the substrate between the third and fourth electrodes is polarized in the thicknesswise direction. A secondary-side electrode (72) is disposed in the secondary-side region, and the secondary-side region is polarized in the longitudinal direction. Directions of polarization and stress of the first and second regions and the electrical connection among the first to fourth electrode are determined in order for the second region to enhance the resonance of the substrate excited by the first region.

Abstract: A method of forming an impedance matching layer (20; 24, 28; 32) of an acoustic transducer includes geometrically patterning impedance matching material (14) directly onto a radiating surface of piezoelectric substrate (10; 26; 30; 34). In one embodiment, the matching layer is deposited onto the piezoelectric substrate and photolithographic techniques are utilized to pattern the matching layer to provide posts (22) tailored to better match the piezoelectric substrate to a medium into which acoustic waves are to be transmitted. A nominal layer (12) of metal between the posts and the piezoelectric substrate improves the attachment of the matching material to the substrate. The nominal layer may be chrome-gold and the matching material may be copper. Typically, the radiating surface is the substrate front surface from which acoustic waves are directed into a medium of interest, e.g., water or human tissue. However, the radiating surface may be the substitute rear surface, with the patterned matching layer providing acoustic matching to a backing layer for absorbing acoustic energy. In another embodiment, matching layers of different acoustic impedances are deposited and patterned on both the front and rear surfaces to provide matching for effective transmission into the medium of interest and into an acoustic absorptive backing medium.
