Abstract: A toner replenishing device comprising a container (2) having an
acceptance opening (10) for a toner, and a toner cartridge (4) removably
mounted on the container (2) so as to traverse the acceptance opening (10)
along an upper surface portion extending at the upper end of the acceptance
opening, and using a shutter member (80) when the toner cartridge is removed
from the container. An engaged hole (37) is formed in one side part of the
container. In one side part of the shutter member (80) opposed to the one side
part of the container, a hook portion (90) is formed for being engaged with the
engaged hole (37) to allow the turn of the shutter member (80) in the direction
of insertion between the lower surface of the toner cartridge and the upper
surface portion of the container, as well as in the reverse direction, and to
regulate the position of the shutter member (80) in the width direction relative

Abstract: A relative angle detection apparatus requiring only
a short time to become active and causing only a small
detection error, and a virtual reality providing system
adopting the relative angle detection apparatus have been
disclosed. The relative angle detection apparatus is a
relative angle detection apparatus for detecting a
revolution on a plane perpendicular to each axis of an
orthogonal coordinate system made by a mounted unit, and
includes first to third revolution detecting units each
for detecting a revolution about each of the first to
third axes of the orthogonal coordinate system serving as
axes of revolution. At least one of the first to third
revolution detecting units is realized with an optical
angle detection unit for detecting an angle of revolution
by utilizing polarization. The optical angle detection
unit consists of a light source unit separated from the
mounted unit, a light-receiving unit united with the
mounted unit, and an arithmetic unit. The light source
unit irradiates polarized light, of which direction of
polarization is confined to a given initial direction, in
a direction substantially parallel to an associated axis
of revolution. The light-receiving unit includes a
polarization filter for receiving light emanating from
the light source unit, and a light-receiving device for
receiving light emanating from the light source unit and
passing through the polarization filter. The arithmetic
unit calculates a relative angle of the mounted unit with
respect to the given initial direction on the basis of
the intensity of a signal output from the light-receiving 
device.

Abstract: There are provided an information storage medium,
which is manufactured with high yield and is little
influenced by a reproducing apparatus, and an
information reproducing apparatus capable of performing
stable information reproduction. The information
storage medium has a pre-groove (1) with a groove-like,

and recess of the pre-pit is substantially equal to
that of the pre-groove. Each of the pre-pit and pre-groove
has a recording surface wobbling along a
predetermined curved line. A reproduction signal with
a high S/N can be obtained from the information storage
medium having the recording surface by the information
reproducing apparatus wherein like a push-pull type
tracking error detection method, reproduction light is
divided at wave front by a straight line including the
center of the reproduction light and a difference in
detection light amount between the divided light
components.

Abstract: The present invention comprises methods for efficiently identifying
international outbound calls, in the telecommunications network (TN) of the
outgoing country, which should be screened as possibly requiring processing
according to a Global Virtual Network Service (GVNS), as opposed to conventional
international long distance (ILD) call processing. In particular, the present
invention is directed to outbound international GVNS calls, known as "on-net,"
which are from one GVNS location to another GVNS location of the same
customer. International calls that are not Outbound International GVNS On-net
calls, referred to as Other ILD calls, include at least three types: standard ILD, non-GVNS
data and international GVNS off--net calls. Standard ILD, non-GVNS data
calls and international GVNS off--net calls all have a routing number which
comprises a country code (CC) followed by a national number (NN). In the present
invention, all Outbound International GVNS On-net calls have a routing number
which begins with a CC followed by a country code suffix (CC-suffix). Therefore,
the presence of a CC-suffix after the CC in a call routing number indicates that the
call should be screened as being, possibly, an Outbound International GVNS On-net
call.

the application model as a plurality of objects (1408), representing the
implementation model as another plurality of objects (1411), connecting the
objects of the application model and implementation model together to obtain a

Abstract: A catalytic converter of an engine, such as might be found in an automotive
engine system, is capable of being quickly and electrically heated in order to reduce
pollution emissions during critical cold start conditions. During cold start conditions, i.e.
upon starting the engine, for a predetermined period of time the catalytic converter
directly receives electrical power  via  a quick heating path connecting a catalyst power
switch to the catalytic converter. Following the predetermined period of time after which
the catalytic converter has been electrically heated, the catalyst power switch is
connected to a junction block, such as a starter motor assembly, of the automotive
engine system  via  a normal path.

Abstract: A process eliminates pattern shifting artifacts in a
printed image rendered using a hybrid high addressable
error diffusion process by perturbing a threshold/image
signal value relationship when a multi-level grey level is
binarized. The process utilizes a programmable multi-level
grey signal modifying circuit (5,10) for modifying the
multi-level grey signal by a predetermined value according
to its grey level. The modified multi-level grey signal is
binarized (9) to a binary pixel signal according to a
relationship between the modified multi-level grey signal
and a threshold value. The process further generates an
error corresponding to the relationship and diffuses the
error to neighboring pixels. The multi-level grey signal
is modified with random noise multiplied by a grey level
dependent coefficient value. The coefficient value is
dependent upon an image classification of the pixel being
processed.

Abstract: When a second disc is inserted, recording and/or
reproducing operation of information on or from a first disc
is stopped, and a moving member is moved in the X1-direction.
This movement allows a clamp chassis to be moved upward and
unclamped, and the second disc is carried into a disc
apparatus by a transfer roller and is supported by disc
guides. Then, the first and the second discs are supported
by the disc guides and are moved upward and then, the first
disc is carried out of an insertion opening by the transfer
roller. In the course of the movement of the drive chassis
to the upper position, the second disc is placed on a
turntable, and is chucked and clamped by a clamper.
Therefore, it is possible to exchange the second disc with
the first disc only by inserting the second disc.

Abstract: A mutant virus for use as a vaccine, wherein the genome of the virus is defective in respect of a gene essential for the production of infectious virus. In one aspect the mutant virus is capable of protecting a susceptible species immunized therewith against infection by the corresponding wild-type virus. In another aspect, the mutant virus acts as a vector for an immunogenic protein derived from a pathogen and which is encoded by foreign DNA incorporated in the mutant virus. The mutant virus can be produced in a recombinant host cell which expresses a gene complementing the defect. The mutant virus is preferably infectious for the host to be protected, but the defective gene allows expression in the infected host of at least some of the viral genes, which can provoke a cell-mediated immune response.
