Abstract: An electrostatic actuator (10) comprises a first member (14) and a second
member (12), the first member having a first opposed surface (15) that includes an
array (17) of driven electrodes with pitch  p   r , and the second member having a second
opposed surface (13) and including an array (11) of drive electrodes. A support (e.g.,
120) positions the first member adjacent the second member with the first opposed
surface spaced apart from the second opposed surface by a spacing d. The ratio of the
spacing and the pitch should be less than eight, and is preferably less than 2.25. The
support permits the first member to move relative to the second member, or vice
versa. A voltage source (58,60) establishes a spatially substantially alternating voltage
pattern on the array of driven electrodes. An electrode control (30) establishes a
substantially alternating voltage pattern on the array of drive electrode, and selectively
imposes a local disruption on the substantially alternating voltage pattern on the array
of drive electrodes to move the movable one of the first member and the second
member relative to the other.

Abstract: According to MPEG-4's TTS architecture, facial animation can be driven by
two streams simultaneously - text, and Facial Animation Parameters. In this
architecture, text input is sent to a Text-To-Speech converter at a decoder that drives
the mouth shapes of the face. Facial Animation Parameters are sent from an encoder
to the face over the communication channel. The present invention includes codes
(known as bookmarks) in the text string transmitted to the Text-to-Speech converter,
which bookmarks are placed between words as well as inside them. According to
the present invention, the bookmarks carry an encoder time stamp. Due to the nature
of text-to-speech conversion, the encoder time stamp does not relate to real-world
time, and should be interpreted as a counter. In addition, the Facial Animation
Parameter stream carries the same encoder time stamp found in the bookmark of the
text. The system of the present invention reads the bookmark and provides the
encoder time stamp as well as a real-time time stamp to the facial animation system.
Finally, the facial animation system associates the correct facial animation parameter
with the real-time time stamp using the encoder time stamp of the bookmark as a
reference.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method of stuffer box crimping a synthetic multifilament yarn, wherein the yarn is advanced in a conveying nozzle by means of a heated conveying gas into a stuffer box and compressed to a yarn plug. At the outlet of the stuffer box, a pair of rolls form a conveying gap for advancing the yarn plug and which has a width smaller than the cross section of the plug leaving the stuffer box so as to compress the yarn plug. The internal passage of the stuffer box is constructed with a cross section that increases in the direction of advance in such a manner that no significant cohesive force develops on the yarn plug, and the resistance to the forward pressure in the yarn plug resulting from the heated conveying gas is provided essentially only by the force on the yarn plug generated by its compression in the conveying gap.

Abstract: An identification label is affixed on a top surface (43) of an image
forming unit (42) which is detachably installed in a main component (1a) of
an image forming apparatus (1). The identification label consists of a
thermosensitive paper on which a trademark logo is printed. A logo reader
in the main component (1a) reads a pattern of the logo mark on the
identification label. A control unit compares the read logo pattern with a
previously stored pattern to discriminate whether the read logo mark is
genuine or not. If the identification label has the genuine logo mark, the
control unit executes printing. If the identification label has an irregular
logo mark, printing is abandoned and an error message is displayed.
When a genuine image forming unit (42) is exhausted, the control unit
controls a heating device (33) to apply heat to the identification label in order
to wholly or partially discolor the identification label so that the logo mark is
transformed to unreadable one. That unit will be regarded as an irregular
one thereafter. For authorized activity for reusing such treated unit, a

forming unit (42) after refilling toner or replacing a photoconductor drum is

channel (170)therebetween having an ink body (200) residing therein. The first
side wall and the second side wall are selectively movable for asymmetrically

asymmetrically pressurizes the ink body to eject the ink droplet therefrom and out
the channel along a first predetermined direction (α).. Moreover, selective
movement of the second side wall asymmetrically pressurizes the ink body to eject

first wall and a second electrical pulse (320) to the second wall, so that the first and
the second walls are selectively moved in a manner providing for variable ejection
direction of the ink droplets. Cut-outs (305) between neighboring ink channels
reduce mechanical cross-talk between channels, which cross-talk would otherwise
