Abstract: The invention provides a thermal printer (1) and a
recording method of the thermal printer that are capable of
reducing the recorded density non-uniformity (jitter) and
obtaining the recorded image of good quality. The period of
the pulse signal generated by the encoder (14) is measured,
at least one of the applied voltage and the current flow time
of the head pulse is operated based on the difference between
the measured value and the theoretical value measured by the
encoder, and the head pulse is controlled based on the
arithmetic value. Otherwise, the duty ratio of the output
time to the non-output time of the pulse signal generated by
the encoder is measured, the output correction time of the
OFF head pulse is operated based on the duty ratio, and the
OFF head pulse is supplied to the heater elements at the time
point that delayed by the output correction time from the
output ending time of the pulse signal.

Abstract: A method and a device for storing audio information in magnetic memory, an
electronic arrangement for protecting the computing program and a method of
protection against non-authorized duplications is presented. The device of the
invention allows, by means of an entrance signal, preferably a bar code reader, to
select the information and the content of a product, preferably a CD of commercial
music, that is stored in a magnetic memory in digital form. The audio information,
preferably music, is converted into computing formatted information by means of
well-known software and is stored compressed with a high compression ratio. The
original audio parameters that are lost during the compression are stored in a
complementary memory and are outputted simultaneously, and therefore the audible
signal that reaches the user through earphones and/or loudspeakers recovers its
high quality sound, reproducing the file with no need for decompressing it. The
method also offers technical control checking for the device and statistics logging
based on the playback requests carried out by the users. 
     The integrity of software and the authenticity of the device are protected by means of
an anti-copy system that is based on a microprocessor based security card.

Abstract: A curve's radius of curvature that approximates the
actual curve is calculated, and an appropriate allowable curve
approach speed even when the node interval is extremely short
is set. Although the node c with a relatively large positional
deviation on the curve is not out of the actual road width, the
road geometry indicated by a series of nodes is locally bent
like a concave at around the node c, constituting a curve that
cannot exist in reality. The interval between nodes b and c
is short, so that calculating the curve's radius of curvature
at nodes b and c may result in a very small curve's radius of
curvature which is far smaller than the actual curve geometry.
Therefore, at least one of the nodes is taken as the curve's
radius of curvature calculation removal point and is not used
for the calculation of the curve's radius of curvature.

Abstract: A camera unit 10 is mounted on a vehicle 3. When an attempt
is made to park the vehicle 3 in a parking lot, a predicted
path 5a and guidelines 5b are displayed on an information display
4 together with an image. Data to be used for displaying the
predicted path 5a and the guidelines 5b are stored beforehand
in internal memory of an image processing circuit 19 provided
in a parking assist ECU 6 so that the data can be selected in
accordance with specifications, such as the type of the vehicle
3. The predicted path 5a is computed on the basis of a steering
angle detected by a steering angle sensor provided in an exposed
portion of the steering shaft 11. The length or color of the
predicted path 5a is changed in accordance with the speed of
the vehicle 3. Further, a vehicle driving support system is
provided with a back sonar 17, and hence the length or color
of the predicted path 5a is also changed in accordance with
the result of detection of an obstacle.

Abstract: In a waveguide 11 provided with a magnetron 12, a container
13 made of quartz glass and containing a porous body 14 is placed.
The container 13 is connected to a water supply pipe 15, a steam
delivery pipe 16 and a drain pipe 17. Pure water regulated at
a preset flow rate by a flow control valve 18 drops on the upper
face of the porous body 14, and infiltrates into the porous body
14. When the magnetron 12 sends out microwave radiation to the
waveguide 11, the pure water contained in the porous body 14 is
heated by the microwave, and instantaneously evaporates. The steam
of pure water escapes from every surface of the porous body 14
and delivered through the steam delivery pipe 16. An appropriate
control of the flow rate of the pure water by the flow control
valve 18 and the output power of the magnetron 12 can make an
appropriate control of the flow rate of the steam, so that all
the pure water supplied to the porous body 14 is converted to
steam.

Abstract: In a deposited-film formation apparatus or process
having the means or steps of evacuating the inside of
an inside-evacuatable chamber through an evacuation
piping by an evacuation means, feeding a material gas
into the chamber while evacuating the inside of the
chamber, and applying a high-frequency power to form a
deposited film on a substrate disposed inside the
chamber, a leak is detected on the basis of a measured
value of a temperature sensor which detects the heat of
reaction that is generated when the material gas fed
into the chamber reacts with oxygen contained in air
having entered from the outside, so as to be able to
stop the material gas feeding. 
     In deposited-film formation apparatus or processes
making use of spontaneously ignitable gases, the leak
can quickly be detected when air enters the chamber
because of any unexpected accident such as a break of
piping.

Abstract: The CPU of a mail server accepts input of electronic
mail. The CPU judges whether or not the mail has an attached
file of a data capacity larger than a predetermined threshold
value. If the mail is judged to have such an oversized attached
file, the CPU generates key information (or a URL and a
password). Then, the CPU writes the key information in
association with a name of the attached file to a file ID table
in a storage device. The CPU replaces the attached file with
the key information. And, the CPU increments by 1 a counter
value (N) representative of the number of times an attached
file storage service has been used (N = N + 1). The CPU outputs
the attached file to a user-wise attached file storage area
for storage therein.

Abstract: A solenoid operated valve (10) is connected in series with a resistor (71) and a PTC
thermistor. Upon coil energization, the armature (60) moves to close the valve member (22)
against a valve seat (18) and further armature movement to close an air gap with a pole piece (48) is
absorbed by a spring (34) between the armature and valve member. Upon closure of the air
gap, the magnetic reluctance between the armature and pole piece is decreased such that
significantly less current is required in the coil (54) to hold the valve closed. Upon heating of
the thermistor, the resistance is increased sufficiently to reduce the current to the hold-close
level and less power is required thereafter to maintain the valve closed. The valve is
applied to on-board vehicle diagnostic procedures performed after engine shut-down
where current must be minimized to prevent battery drain to a level preventing re-start.
