Abstract: The beam-width regulation method adjusts the headlamp beam- width in dependence on the detected loading of the vehicle and the detected vehicle velocity, so that the beam width is increased at higher velocities and reduced at lower velocities. The overall regulation of the beam-width can be held within a permissible regulation tolerance band, with stepped adjustment of the beam width upon reaching defined velocity values.

Abstract: A fertilizer composition containing an alkaline earth
nitrate, such as calcium nitrate or magnesium nitrate is produced
by the scrubbing of hot combustion gases to remove sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen oxides from the gas. After removal of sulfur dioxide
from a gas stream, a humidified gas stream containing NO x  is
treated to convert the NO x  to nitric acid, and the nitric acid-containing

Abstract: The motor (2) supplied with current from a source (3) is coupled to a transmission (4) and responds to commands from a controller (5) linked to an input current sensor (6) and a motor temperature sensor (7). The approximately low-pass thermal behaviour of the motor is modelled by software in the controller. Inputs required for determination of the motor temperature are the instantaneous power loss and the constant thermal resistance of the winding. The output may be taken as a parameter of the operating condition of the motor by a sub-unit of the controller which takes over at a preset maximum temperature.

Abstract: There are proposed light beam scanning method and
device for scanning with plural light beams split by using a
multi-frequency acousto-optic device (AOM). By remarkably
increasing the number of light beams, an image is recorded at
a higher speed. Plural incident light beams are split in the
subsidiary scanning direction by different multi-frequency
acousto-optic devices. The split light beams are displaced
so as not to overlap one another in the subsidiary scanning
direction, while respective sets of light beams split by the
acousto-optic devices are deviated in a main scanning
direction, for scanning. The deviation in the main scanning
direction is compensated with a clock timing of an image
signal. The light beams split by the AOMs may be alternately
positioned in the subsidiary scanning direction.
Alternatively, a set of light beams split by one AOM may be
adjacent to a set of light beams split by another AOM in the
subsidiary scanning direction.

Abstract: The present invention includes an integrated resize engine and color compare logic for
performing a resize bit block transfer (BitBLT) and a transparency BitBLT in a single
operation. A source array of pixels is stretched and/or shrunk based upon control signals.
The resized pixel values include red, green, and blue color values which are compared with
predetermined color range values stored in register pairs. Preferably a register pair is provided
for each color. A set of comparators is provided for each color to compare the register values
with the color pixel values and to produce an output signal (IN RANGE) indicating if the color
pixel value is within the range established by the register values. Each of the in range signals
are provided to multiplex logic which generates a transparency enable (TE) output signal based
upon the value of the IN RANGE signals and the value of a SELECT input signal. The
transparency (TE) signal is written to a dedicated bit in a pixel value register to embed the
transparency enable bit as part of the pixel value. Alternatively, or in addition to the multiplex
logic, mask logic may be provided to mask the pixel based upon the IN RANGE output
signals.

Abstract: The facsimile machine (F) connected with a personal computer (PC)
such that it can send image data to the personal computer. The
facsimile machine (F) first requests the personal computer (PC)
to supply data about communication capability of the personal
computer such as resolution mode (scanning line density) and
coding method to the personal computer. Upon this request, the
personal computer (PC) outputs necessary data to the facsimile
machine (F). If a user of the facsimile machine (F) sets to scan
the image at a resolution finer than a resolution of the personal
computer, then resolution is automatically changed to a rougher
resolution to conform with the personal computer. The facsimile
machine (F) then scans the image at the modified resolution. The
scanned image is coded by the same coding method as the personal
computer. The image scanned and coded in line with the communication
capability of the personal computer is then stored in a

Abstract: A pulp refiner 10 incorporates at least one rotatable
disc 12 connected to a drive shaft 14. Stock consisting
of pulp in water is supplied to the refiner through an
inlet 22 causing the stock to pass between the rotating
disc 12 and an adjacent face of a stator disc 38 to refine
the pulp. 
     The rotor disc 12 is caused to rotate sequentially
faster and slower than the surrounding stock in order to
assist the shredding, opening and fibrillating of the
pulp. The refining process is maximised by inducing
resonance of the rotor disc 12 in the same circumferential
direction as its rotation, with the flexure that permits
such resonance coming from slight torsional movement of
the shaft 14. The resonance is monitored and consequently
adjusted to maximise circumferential vibration.
