Abstract: In a color input scanner for deriving digital signals from a full-color original image, a sensor
bar having three parallel arrays of photosensors, each array being sensitive to a different primary
color, is moved relative to the original image in a scan direction. With each scan cycle, the exposure
of the photosensors in each array is precisely timed so that the optical "center of gravity" for each
exposed area in the original image is superimposed for all of the primary color photosensors.

IPC: H04B10/61
Filed: 1996-12-10
Abstract: A polarization diversity receiver system for
yielding multiple heterodyne optical output signals
from an incident optical beam having a p-polarized
component and an s-polarized component comprises first
and second sequentially-arrayed polarizing
beamsplitters (42, 54), and three photodetectors (48,
58, 64), each of which receives a heterodyne optical
signal. The polarization diversity receiver system
tracks the largest of these three signals, and uses
only this largest one for subsequent signal processing.
There is a minimum for this largest signal that is
dependent on the input polarizations of two optical
fields whose beat note is the heterodyne signal, so
that one can maximize the minimum of this largest of
the three heterodyne signals. The first polarizing
beamsplitter (42) ideally splits the incident beam into
a transmitted beam portion (T), including approximately
100% of the p-polarized component and approximately 33%
of the s-polarized component, and a reflected beam
portion (R) including approximately 0% of the
p-polarized component and approximately 67% of the
s-polarized component. The reflected beam portion (R)
exits from the first polarizing beamsplitter (42) as a
first heterodyne optical output signal, and impinges on
a first photodetector (48). The transmitted beam
portion (T) exits from the first beamsplitter (42), and
then undergoes an effective 45 o  rotation of its
polarization eigenstates around its axis of
propagation, either prior to or during its passage
through the second polarizing beamsplitter (54). The
second beamsplitter (54) splits the rotated transmitted
beam portion into second and third heterodyne optical
output signals which respectively impinge upon second
and third photodetectors (58, 64).

Abstract: A sleeve assembly (42) for reducing the thermal
conduction heat load from the bellows penetration tube
(14) to the helium vessel (4) of a superconducting
magnet assembly. The sleeve assembly is designed to
force helium boil-off gas to flow in intimate contact
with the bellows convolutions. The helium boil-off
gas thereby intercepts or removes a portion of the
heat that would normally be conducted from the bellows
convolutions to the helium vessel. The sleeve assembly
consists of a circular cylindrical rolled tube (44) made
of laminated thermosetting material. The outer diameter
of the tube (44) is wrapped with tape in a helical
pattern. The diameter of the sleeve and the thickness
of the tape wrapping are selected so that the outer
circumferential surface of the helically wrapped tape
abuts the inner diameter of the bellows (14). The sleeve is
fabricated with a relatively small thickness to minimize
thermal conduction load. The successive turns of the
helical strip of tape are separated by a helical channel 
   which forms a helical flow path for the helium
boil-off gas as it flows toward the boil-off gas outlet.
As the helium gas spirals around the sleeve assembly,
the gas cools the bellows convolutions and the sleeve
instrumentation wiring, thereby minimizing thermal
conduction losses. Also, the gas will travel inside the
bellows convolutions to minimize helium gas conduction
inside the convolutions.

Abstract: An ink jet head is provided with heaters to
generate energy to be utilized for discharging ink, and
MOS transistors to supply electric power to the heaters
for recording by discharging ink. For this ink jet
head, the MOS transistors comprise source regions (3) and
drain regions (4) formed by doping layers arranged near the
surface of a semiconductor substrate, gates (2) formed on
the semiconductor substrate through an oxide film and
arranged to cross over the source regions and the drain
regions, and contact units formed by a doping layer
different from that of the source regions, and arranged
near the surface within the source regions in order to
draw out electrons or holes to be unintentionally
generated on the semiconductor substrate. With the
structure thus arranged, the potential difference
becomes smaller between the source regions and back
gate area on the semiconductor substrate, making it
possible to prevent heaters from being destroyed by any
excessive current that may flow uncontrollably.

Title: Pressurized gas weapon
Inventor: ALTENBURGER JOERG ING GRAD
IPC: F41B11/16
Filed: 1997-01-15
Abstract: The weapon has a recoil compensator with at least one compensation mass (37) which, through the gas pressure activated on firing, is driven relatively to the grip in the opposite direction of that of firing movement. This causes the impulse acting on the grip as the result of the movement of the projectile in the barrel to be reduced and the at least one compensation mass is movable relatively to the barrel. From the gas channel which conducts the gas pressure to the area behind the projectile ready to be fired, a channel leads to the compensation mass.

Abstract: A safety device is provided which detects that a hand of
the worker A enters a hazardous region in the vicinity of the
gap between rolls of a kneading machine, and which immediately
stops the rotation of the rolls, thereby preventing an accident
from occurring. Furthermore, a safety device for a kneading
machine is provided in which, each time when the rotation of
the rolls is stopped, the orientation of photoelectric sensors
is switched from the region in the vicinity of the gap between
the two rolls to a test reflection member, and received light
quantities of the photoelectric sensors are checked to judge
whether they exceed a predetermined value or not, whereby a
situation that the worker starts the work without knowing a
fault and an accident is caused is prevented from arising. 
     In order to attain the objects, a bar electrode of an
electrostatic capacitance sensor is disposed above and in the
vicinity of the gap between the two rolls, as a sensor for
detecting a physical quantity which is changed by entry of a
hand of the worker. When the electrostatic capacitance
detected by the electrostatic capacitance sensor exceeds a
predetermined value, a judging circuit supplies a control
signal for stopping the operation to a driving unit, thereby
stopping the operation of the kneading machine. In place of
the electrostatic capacitance sensors, heat ray sensors or
photoelectric sensors may be used.  
     A case housing light projectors and photoelectric sensors
is rotatably disposed above and in the vicinity of the gap
between the two rolls, and a test reflection member is disposed
on the side of the case. During a period when the rolls are
stopped, a light receive object switching circuit rotates the
case and a test circuit tests the light receiving states of the
photoelectric sensors.

interlayer film (6) is deposited on the substrate (1) by a process
comprising a plurality of steps in each of which a portion
of the film is deposited so as to have different fluidity
with the same source material. 
     In the first aspect of the method, a portion of the
interlayer film (4) is at first deposited so as to have
relatively reduced fluidity, so that the film is formed with
an almost uniform thickness regardless of any pattern width
on the substrate. After this, the rest portion of the film (5)
is deposited so that it has relatively increased fluidity so
as to fill up the trough between the patterns. 
     In the second aspect of the method, an undercoating
film is formed in advance which is then treated to be
hydrophobic so that a portion of the interlayer film
deposited thereon reduces its fluidity, by which the portion
is uniformly deposited regardless of any pattern width.
Then, the rest portion of the film is deposited over the
above portion of the film with relatively increased
fluidity.
