Abstract: A method of preparing a replaceable fluid reservoir (26) is disclosed. A pump assembly
(10) is coupled to the reservoir (26). The pump assembly (10) includes a chamber-forming
element (12) having a chamber (202,204). The chamber (202,204) has an outer open end
and an inner end in fluid communication with the reservoir (26). One-way valve means
(48,216) are disposed across the chamber (202,204) permitting fluid flow therepast
through the chamber (202,204) only from the reservoir (26) outwardly towards the outer
open end. The one-way valve means (48,216) only permit air to be drawn outwardly
therepast towards the outer open end under vacuum pressure across the one-way valve
means (48,216) further below atmospheric pressure than a first negative pressure and only
permit fluid to be drawn outwardly therepast under vacuum pressure across the one-way
valve means (48,216) further below atmospheric pressure than a second negative pressure,
the second negative pressure being further below atmospheric pressure than said first
negative pressure. The reservoir (26) is filled with fluid. Air is evacuated from the
reservoir (26) by applying a vacuum to a portion of the chamber (202,204) which is
spaced outwardly from said one-way valve means (48,216). The vacuum provides vacuum
pressure across the one-way valve means (48,216) between the first negative pressure and
the second negative pressure.

Abstract: An improved modulator and methods for making the modulator are disclosed. A membrane, preferably circular in shape, is formed over a region of a substrate in such a way that a gap results between the membrane and substrate forming a modulator cavity. The membrane forms a continuous surface over the cavity. In particular, the membrane is not supported by discrete support arms, but rather extends beyond the modulator cavity. Preferably, holes are formed in the membrane to aid in damping its motion and to allow access to underlying layers during modulator formation. According to the method, the modulator is formed by forming a means for creating a gap between the substrate and the membrane, forming a membrane, forming a lateral conduit to aid in removing the means for creating the gap and, finally, by removing the means for creating the gap.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for blending pictorial and graphical look-up tables, in which the blended look-up table, addressable by image signals from both pictorial and graphical objects, produces printer signals which are a blend of the output of the pictorial and graphical look-up tables. For image signals that are inside the pictorial gamut of the printer, only the output of the pictorial look-up table is used in the blended look-up table. For image signals that are outside the pictorial gamut, a blend of the output of both pictorial and graphical look-up tables is used in the blended look-up table. To blend the tables, graphical and pictorial image signals are selected from the surface of the graphical and pictorial gamut which have the same hue and luminance as the desired image signal. Printer signals output by both the graphical and pictorial look-up tables are weighted in accordance with the proportions of graphical and pictorial character container in the desired image signal, determined from the difference in saturation between the desired image signal and the selected graphical and pictorial image signals. The weighted printer signals are added and mapped to the desired image signal, the mapping being stored in an image signal translator.

Abstract: Mutual authentication is performed. A reader/writer
(R/W) transmits to an IC card a code C1 such that a random
number RA is encrypted using a key KB. The IC card
decrypts the code C1 into plain text M1 using the key KB.
The IC card transmits to the R/W a code C2 such that the
plain text M1 is encrypted using a key KA and a code C3
such that a random number RB is encrypted using the key KA.
The R/W decrypts the codes C2 and C3 into plain text M2 and
plain text M3, respectively, using the key KA. When the
R/W determines that the plain text M2 and the random number
RA are the same, it authenticates the IC card. Next, the
R/W transmits to the IC card a code C4 such that the plain
text M3 is encrypted using the key KB. The IC card
decrypts the code C4 into plain text M4 using the key KB.
When the IC card determines that the plain text M4 and the
random number RB are the same, it authenticates the R/W.

Abstract: A toner cartridge which can be easily
replaced and which reliably prevents a user
from failing to close its toner fall aperture. When a shutter
(60) is located in a position where the toner fall aperture
(56) is closed, a claw (64) of a lock portion (68) does not
project outward (see Fig. 6(a)). When the toner cartridge
(32) is inserted in the direction of the arrow A, a right-holding
portion (62) of the shutter (60) abuts against an
engagement side wall (77) of an engagement portion (75), and
prohibits the shutter (60) from moving in the direction of
insertion so that the toner fall aperture (56) is opened (see
Fig. 6(b)). When the toner cartridge (32) is withdrawn, the
lock portion (68) of the claw (64) is locked to a return
portion (82) provided on a side wall (72) thereby to prohibit
the shutter (60) from moving in a direction opposite to the
insertion direction (see Fig. 6(c)). Thus, the shutter (60)
is slid in the insertion direction with respect to a flange
(55) to close the toner fall aperture (56) (see Fig. 6(d)).
