Patent EP-0867283-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WEN XIN
IPC: B41J2/14
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: Imaging apparatus and method for providing images of uniform
print density. The apparatus (10) includes a print head (45) having a plurality of
nozzles (120) containing ink. Each nozzle has an image forming characteristic,
such as print density, associated therewith. A heater (150) associated with each
nozzle is in heat transfer communication with the ink for heating the ink, so that,
as the ink is heated, its surface tension relaxes. As surface tension relaxes, static
back-pressure acting on the ink ejects the ink from the nozzle. A voltage supply
unit (160) is provided for supplying a voltage pulse to each of the heaters for
activating the heaters and a controller (140) interconnects the heaters and the
voltage supply unit for controlling the voltage pulse. Controlling the voltage pulse
causes the image forming characteristic for each nozzle to be altered to the extent
that the image forming characteristics for all the heaters will become uniform. In
this regard, the controller includes a memory unit (220) capable of informing the
controller of the voltage pulse duration to be applied to each heater for obtaining
uniform image forming characteristics. Alternatively, the memory unit may
inform the controller of the pulse amplitude to be applied to each heater for
obtaining uniform image forming characteristics. Therefore, either the voltage
pulse amplitude or the voltage pulse duration applied to each heater is controlled
such that the image forming characteristics (e.g., print densities) of all nozzles are
uniform.

Abstract: A lighting unit which exhibits improved handling of incoming color values
corresponding to a polygon. The lighting unit includes an input buffer for storing a
plurality of color values, a mode register including a color mode field specifying whether
the plurality of color values corresponds to the front or back side of the polygon.
Furthermore, the lighting unit includes a register file for storing color information. The
register file includes a first and second plurality of registers for storing front and back
side color information, respectively. Still further, the lighting unit includes input/output
logic configured to perform a transfer color instruction, which first comprises accessing
the mode register to obtain a value of the color mode field, and then transferring the
plurality of color values from the input buffer to one or more registers within the register
file. The one or more registers are located within the first plurality of registers if the
value of the color mode field indicates that the plurality of color values correspond to
front side color information, and are located within the second plurality of registers if the
value of the color mode field indicates back side color information. The one or more
registers are located within the first and second plurality of registers if the value of the
color mode field indicates both front and back side color information. Finally, the
lighting unit includes a lighting computation unit configured to determine a face direction
of the polygon. The lighting unit is further configured to use one or more of the plurality
of color values (selected in accordance with the face direction) to perform lighting
calculations for the polygon.

Abstract: Oxygen (69) is produced in an integrated gas turbine-driven air separation
process in which heat of compression (3) is recovered from a portion (39) of the
compressed air feed (1) for the air separation process (53) by heat transfer (41,49) with
the nitrogen-rich product stream (55) from the air separation process (53), and the
heated nitrogen-rich product stream (44) is utilized (21) to generate steam (11). This
steam (11) is used to provide a portion of the work to drive the feed air compressor (3),
either by expansion with combustion products (13) in the gas turbine expander (17) or
by expansion in a separate steam turbine (78). The process is useful for oxygen
production in remote locations where low-cost fuel is readily available and moderate
energy efficiency is acceptable, but where capital equipment costs are high and
operating complexity is undesirable.

Abstract: A probe beam is used to sample the waveform on an IC device under test (DUT) during
each cycle of a test pattern applied to the DUT. A reference laser beam is also used to
sample the DUT. For each cycle of the test pattern, the reference and probe beams
sample the DUT at the same physical location, but at displaced times with respect to each
other. Each reference measurement is made at a fixed time relative to the test pattern
while the probe measurements are scanned through the test-pattern time portion of
interest, in the manner normal to equivalent time sampling, to reconstruct the waveform.
For each test cycle, the ratio of these two measurements is taken. The fluctuations of
these ratios due to noise is greatly reduced as compared to fluctuations of the probe
measurements taken alone. Thus, a smaller number of averages is required to reconstruct
the waveform.
